Sorry, this movie sucks

So much average

An Exercise In Nonsense

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Bruce Lee would have been greatly offended by this alarming atrocity if he had been around at the time. This pile of manure is merely an excuse to shamelessly exploit the very name and reputation of one of history's greatest martial artists. Nothing is worth mentioning about this film. You get the usual clumsily tacked on footage of the man himself but it's from many years before and bears no relation to this production. The only reason I don't give this turkey a rating of 1, is because some of the fight scenes are okish.

Even by the terribly low standard of chopsocky flicks, this is the ultimate POS. From its ludicrous claim to be Bruce Lee's "final film" (hey, if I splice bootleg footage of Bruce into my next vidcam extravaganza, do I get to usurp that status?), to darkened duels with extras in lion suits, to flashbacks of the last scene, this flick leaves no stone unturned to deliver the epitome of bad cinema. Even the alleged awesome fight scenes are trumped by any number of MMA brawls you can gank from YouTube.Honestly, the only cinematic rule this fetid ripoff follows is that of Joe Bob Briggs: if you're going to make a sequel, make it exactly like the original.The only reason I'm not giving this abortion the lowest possible score is that Plan 9 From Outer Space and Last Temptation Of Christ exist.2/10.

Although this is probably the best of the imitation-movies of Bruce Lee, it is still not very good. I'm a big Bruce Lee fan, and this particular movie is very funny and quite stylish but it is not a Bruce Lee movie. Scenes like the lion-puppet thrown in through the window is funny, and the movie changes character towards the end in the computer game-like tower. Thus the final half hour is much better than the beginning of the movie. The Bruce Lee aspects of this movie makes no sense. Showing images of his childhood-movies is just not a good idea. Anyway, there's some pretty good martial arts in this movie and it is recommended, actually, to Bruce Lee fans and historians, just to see how his legacy was exploited by people who wanted to make money.

...just forget about it being a Bruce Lee film! Honestly, it's pretty good. I don't know why people slate this film, it's no better or worse than something like Shaolin Iron Claws (also starring Hwang Jang Lee), or many other martial arts films from the late 70a and early 80s.Unfortunately, as this was planned as a 'tribute to' (read 'another way to get money out of the image of') Bruce Lee, it's what it's mainly remembered as. I would argue that there are some rather good sequences in this film - Roy Haron's fight scenes, for example, or the end sequence (which is pretty enjoyable in a James Bond type of way).And, to be honest, the footage is interpolated a HELL of a lot better than that P.O.S. 'Game Of Death' film that came first, which is just laughable. Damn, that film was bad. This film, in comparison, is reasonably good natured, and at least moves on from the Bruce Lee footage (none of which features any original Bruce Lee fighting at all!) quite early, leaving the audience to get on with a 'proper film', rather than playing spot the edits with the original Bruce Lee footage and the stand in.I must apologise for all the 'inverted commas' in this review! Anyway, it's better than the first Game Of Death, Hwang Jang Lee is well worth watching (as always) and Roy Haron is wicked.
