Bruce Lee in New Orlean... Oh, I mean New Guinea.
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2007
Of all the Bruce Li flicks, this has to rank up there with the good, the bad, and that baby's dog gone ugly. (Refering to Bruce's [...] child in the movie.) Explaining the plot wouldn't do any good, but vices to say Bruce goes to New Guinea, meeting a snake Princess and duking it out with the snake Wizard. This movie is just hilarious. Bad dubbing, bad acting, bad fighting and most importantly, bad karma. My mom doesn't like kung fu movies in general, but she can't forgetting this one. The one standing dialog in the movie that transends all bad dubbed dialog is when it's found out that the Princess has bared a child from Bruce. The famous "Bolo Yueng" steps forward saying, "Right. Princess? Your a slut!" I wonder if Quinten Taratino had been so inspired. With all it's flaws, I do get a kick out of this movie. And shamefully, I have to admit I love the opening title music, showing Bruce and the Wizard duking it out. I continue to hum it to myself.If you venture out to watch this movie, you've been forwarned. It'll certainly be times of the day you'd wish you had back. Boyah!

Great movie service and quality

Weird enough to make it well worth watching, assuming you're into bizarre, 70s martial arts films. If you like trippy stuff like The Executioner, Soul of Chiba, Master of the Flying Guillotine, Taoism Drunkard, or Fantasy Mission Force, then this movie will be right up your alley.

While I understood the idea to try something different with kung-fu, this execution is horrible. There are many familiar faces in this film and I am sure that they all did this for a paycheck only. Aside from the slave talk dubbing of a 'negro' in the film, people in New Guinea don't look like Chinese people in Thai clothing! This is one to see just to say that you saw it, but it took me almost 3 weeks to get through.

If you're a fan of poorly-done kung fu films, this is one for the collection. With bad camera shots, crummy dubbing, and perhaps a special effects budget of five dollars, this is a laugh-out-loud ride through a tiny island with its own major airport (as seen in the movie), where pearls are giant silver pinballs, apes go "meep" and the third trick is never revealed.

This film is one of my guilty pleasures and I'm still trying to find it uncut (because it is hilarious). Alas this is censored down to bleeping out "damn it". It is that bad!!! Avoid at all costs.

Bruce Li in New Guinea (also known as Bruce in New Guinea and Last Fist of Fury) isn't your typical Bruceploitation film. Oh, there's plenty of kung fu action, but things take a weird turn early on in this strangely enjoyable albeit rather silly movie from 1977. Bruce Li plays Kwong Lee, an anthropologist who agrees to travel with his friend to Snake Worship Island in New Guinea; the idea of studying the culture of the sects there doesn't seem to interest him very much at first, but at the first mention of the devil sect which lives there, he's more than ready to go. A couple of stereotypically goofy guides lead Kwong Lee and his buddy to the island, where they soon meet up with a reluctant sacrifice-to-be maiden who dies of poison just after they find her. The snake people, the story goes, were a good tribe under the leadership of the dead king, but now the Great Wizard of the devil sect has taken over, holding the princess Ankawa in his power. Naturally, the Great Wizard is a master of the snake fist style of fighting, and everybody around him knows kung fu. Kwong Lee and pal soon find this out firsthand, at which point Kwong Lee disappears. He turns up again several days or months later, acting strangely; the cure for this is, of course, a flashback, wherein we see him fight the Great Wizard and fall victim to one of the skeleton-masked one's "tricks." The beautiful princess Ankawa saves him by keeping him warm (and I'm not talking about wrapping him up or starting a fire in the fireplace). Love soon blossoms, but Kwong Lee is forced to leave, vowing to return.
Return he does, after practicing his defense against the snake fist fighting style (things would have been a whole lot simpler if he had just bought a gun). Several surprises await him when he arrives on the island, but he spends most of his time fighting, taking on both the devil sect and a trio of raiders out to steal the precious snake pearl. This is certainly not the most impressive display of kung fu I've ever seen, but it isn't that bad. The presence of deadly snakes in the film certainly helps it in my book, but this positive addition is more than offset by the inclusion of an ape who apparently understands Chinese and, unless my eyes deceived me, wears shoes. Curses and dark magic are fine, but there really ought to be a law against including exceedingly intelligent apes in films of any and all kinds. Perhaps my favorite oddity about Bruce Li in New Guinea comes in the form of a little love potion Ankawa slips into Kwong Lee's drink before he leaves her; apparently, any female who looks at him with anything more than friendship on her mind suddenly sees him as a great big nasty snake. Stupid - yes; but pretty cool - yes.
It's sort of nice to watch one of these Bruceploitation films and actually journey outside of Hong Kong or China, and Ankawa is an even more pleasant sight than our exotic locale. I would give this film four stars, but I always deduct a star for the inclusion of intelligent, fake apes in movies. If you like all of the Bruce Lee clone movies the way I do, you should get a kick out of Bruce Li in New Guinea; otherwise, you'll probably rebel against its sometimes silly plot.

I own several of the "Bruce Li" films starring Ho Chung Tao as a poor substitute for Bruce Lee. The three best ones also star sexy Dana (born Hsam Hsak Yi in 1951). This time she has competition from Lin Yang Yang who is sexy too and has a better figure. These girls and others are nude several times. That is much more interesting than the uninspired fight scenes. The best ones are against apes. At least they are mildly amusing. Yang Tze (Bolo Yeung) and Lo Leih are familiar faces to fans of Hong Kong movies. They are villains as one may expect. Dana is Princess Ankawa who saves Bruce when he is poisoned. He must leave but constantly dreams of Ankawa. He returns to be with his lover and their son.
