great bruce exploitation 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Years ago after watching several bruce li films, I discovered bruce le with this movie and is one of my favorites for three reasons, le has the bruce lee physique and is the best fighter out of all the imitators. Bolo(bad guy cameo), lo lieh, chan wai man, and james nam(with 2 numchucks) also show their stuff in the many fights. The dubbing and other goofiness further intensifies the entertainment value. The fighting used in this film is real kung fu (like shaw brothers shaolin films) not like bruce lee. The dvd anamorphic WS picture is good, and no problems with mono english audio (good on the sound system).

Another Bruce "Le" movie... but it's actually not that bad. 3 out of 5 stars.

Every movie I see Bruce "Le" in has absolutely zero budget, crappy kung fu, and terrible acting from "Le". But this movie is a bit different. The story is terrible, but everything else is pretty good. A great soundtrack, cool 70's outfits, an AWESOME cast, and good fights. What else do you ask for in a kung fu movie? This is without a doubt in my mind the best fight choreography that Bruce Le has ever been involved with. The cast also includes Cheung Lik, Chan Wai Man, Kong Do, Chu Chi Ling, Nora Miao, Leung Siu Wa (villain from Kung Fu Massacre), and a great cameo fight from Bolo Yeung. And there's a bunch of recognizable actors who play thugs/extras in the movie, like Lam Ching Ying and Chien Yuet San. The story's not really worth going over. Bruce Le is looking for some kung fu book, and it's gonna take him the whole movie to find it. It's a bore, but the fights are what makes it worth watching.

3/5


The VCI DVD is letterboxed and the picture quality is quite good. And the English dub sounds good. Unfortunately, it looks like there is a little bit of gore cut out at the end. Then again, the people who made the movie could be at fault, and maybe nobody has ever seen an uncut version. It's a mystery to me.

Confusing plot but redeemed with some great martial arts sequences 2 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

The infamous Bruce Li stars in this Bruceploitation mess as an undercover cop searching for international forgers. Li begins to investigate in bars, hotels etc. the issue with this movie is not the story itself it's how it was developed. It's just to damn confusing and boring, and like most of these B- Kung fu movies they tend to have incoherency and randomness. such as the beginning which made very little sense; it involves a man attempting suicide when out of nowhere Li comes into save him like Spiderman (seriously) he climbs up the wall wearing the infamous yellow track suit from Game Of Death.

Besides this the movie does offer some good moments which are usually the fight scenes. One awesome fight scene involves Li and a whole karate school; it is actually decent and well choreographed. The director even manages to put some nice angles to improve the fights. the movie also has some reoccurring actors famous for appearing in other real Bruce Lee classics. Such as Yin- Chieh Han who played the main villain in the big boss (AKA: Fists of Fury) and Bolo Yeung from Enter the Dragon.

As for the picture quality, this and many other Kung fu films come in poor picture and sound quality. This DVD is average; it comes in Full screen 1:33:1 and stereo sound.

MY PERSONAL RATING: 2 OUT OF 5

A REAL Green Hornet Series Collection,Please.... 2 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

When Bruce Lee passed in 1973, 2 films were pieced together in an attempt to cash in on Bruce Lee mania via splicing together some of Lee's best moments from the Green Hornet series, and thus making 2 90 min. "Bruce Lee films" to the joy of those who were anxious for more Bruce Lee footage. The first was entitled "Green Hornet", the second was entitled, oddly enough, "Fury of the Dragon."

What we have here is the official sequel to the first 90 minute Green Hornet feature. An identical approach in that the production is made up of various scenes from the Green Hornet tv series...and the result? In spite of some good moments and fond memories of watching Bruce Lee get down as a superhero and hearing his REAL voice, we're left with 90 minutes of awkward splicing together of stories that don't blend. I even recall seeing a few fight scenes from the 1st movie. If you ask me, what we have here is a shadow of what was to come in 1978...20th Century Fox's butchering of Bruce Lee's Game of Death. The only difference was that they spliced together footage alone as opposed to throwing in an unconvincing double with 10 minutes of real footage. Either way, this one's a keeper for die hard Bruce Lee fans, one that'll be worth lots in the near future. But yet aqnd still, I have to call Green Hornet vol. 1 and Fury of the Dragon(Green Hornet vol. 2) what it is...BRUCEPLOITATION nonetheless. MAY WE PLEASE HAVE AN OFFICAL GREEN HORNET BOX COLLECTION? THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE TO PURCHASING THESE 2 SPLICE JOBS IS ON THE BLACK MARKET & I DON'T STEAL. SOMEBODY HELP A BROTHER OUT. LOL!

WORD OF WARNING: Make sure that your DVD player will play PAL discs before purchasing this dvd. My copy will only play on my Windows Media Player...it's region 1, it's not a bootleg, but it's being PAL will make all the difference as to whether or not it'll play. Be careful.

Shysters Cash In on Star's Untimely Death 1 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

For all that is sacred and holy, do not spend money on this atrocity. I came across it because it was included in a budget-priced DVD collection that I picked up, full of old so-bad-they're-good kung fu flicks, but this item isn't even good enough for that crowd. Produced by some hack named Serafim Karalexis, this film is shameless enough to call itself "The Real Bruce Lee" even though it primarily features the look-alikes that movie producers trotted out after Bruce's sudden death in 1973, hoping to make money off a gullible public that was hungry for more of Bruce's incredible martial arts mastery. There were many inferior films (with equally inferior Bruce imitators) that tried to cash in, and this one is among the most brazen.

This so-called "biopic" starts out with a basic life story of Bruce Lee, information that is freely available anywhere, and presents excerpts from some of the Hong Kong films that Bruce appeared in as a child actor in the '40s and '50s. This material might actually be of interest to collectors and historians, but there's not much of it and the video quality is horrendous. Next, the narrator tells us about Bruce's classic films, but accompanied only by still shots of movie posters, and with no actual footage. This means that the clowns behind this biopic couldn't get the rights. And then the ultimate shamelessness commences.

The narrator tells us that Bruce was so great that he spawned many knock-offs, because imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. (Bring me a shovel.) After some brief footage of various useless wooden-faced imitators, this film then concludes with 63 minutes (that's right SIXTY-THREE minutes) of action scenes starring another look-alike named Dragon Lee, a crony of Karalexis. Concerning this Dragon Lee, he had some serious martial arts skills and could have been a legitimate star in his own right. But he will be forever remembered as a shallow wannabe who got mixed up with hucksters and charlatans, often imitating the real Bruce's menacing facial expressions but coming up woefully short on Bruce's complex charisma (just like all the other look-alikes). At the end of Dragon Lee's incredibly lengthy on-screen audition, the narrator says, "we all know there is only one Bruce Lee... his memory will live forever." You hear this while watching an imitator, and no image of Bruce himself has been seen since the still movie posters back near the beginning of this travesty. Shameless, pathetic, unforgivable.

Editorial Review:

Bruce Lee kicked around Hollywood for years looking in vain for an American break when Hong Kong came calling. As Kato in the TV series The Green Hornet he had become an Asian star (the series was renamed for his character when it crossed the Pacific) and ripe for his own vehicle. This raw, low-budget effort, called The Big Boss in its native Hong Kong, is a generic revenge drama enlivened by Lee's intense screen presence and martial arts prowess. He's a country boy who takes a job at a Thailand ice-packing plant and discovers it's a cover for heroin smuggling. Lee is held back through the first half of the film by a promise he made his sweet, gray-haired mom not to brawl (which means you have to wait to see him in action), but his indignation turns to fury as friends and coworkers disappear and the boss sends thugs to take care of the brooding, intense country boy. The final half of the film is a series of violent confrontations, culminating in a marvelously choreographed showdown at the ice plant. Lean, mean Lee, with a physique that looked sculpted in bronze, became an overnight sensation with this film, breaking all Asian box-office records and starting an international kung fu craze, but none of the pretenders ever touched Lee's cool cinematic charisma or his martial arts grace. Lee returned the next year in The Chinese Connection. --Sean Axmaker
