just watch the final fight and put on here that you disagree with me. Dragon lee is an ok fighter but not even in my top 100. I'm sure he's not even in my top 1000 if I knew all these guys names. This movie is retarded and stupid to watch, nto raiders of nuddhist kung fu bad, but seriously very bad.

I actually saw this as part of the BCI/Eclipse "Kung Fu Connection" 4pack. The widescreen film transfer is a little faded and sometimes dark, but probably reflects the condition of the master reel(?). It must have been cold during the making if this film, because you can see the players' breath(!) throughout the movie. Now there's realism you usually don't see!

Admittedly, I did tire abit from Dragon Lee's flagrant--but implausible--emulations of the inimitable Bruce Lee. While I do appreciate his fighting skills, I wish Dragon Lee would (have) just come into his own. The storyline is rather weak, and some of the fight sequences a little hokey (showcasing the man with an iron hand), but action is ample. The "aerial" attack on the arche-villian in the final fight scene is also memorable. The one character I liked was the lone woman, an understated heroine, who actually kills a guy in one of her fights. (I am still baffled, though, wondering why her brother wasn't with her at the very end.)
