5 comments about Shaolin Kung Fu Fundamental Training DVD (YMAA) Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming.

1. Kung Fu means 'Time / Energy'. Literally, something which takes time and energy to achieve.
   
   In this video, Dr. Yang teaches the necessary body conditioning for Shaolin Kung Fu, starting with stretching for the entire body, both standing and sitting. Some of it is very intense, difficult stuff which needs to be patiently trained for 6 months.
   
   During the fundamental stances Master Yang explains some of the applications, and really corrects the posture of his students demonstrating. He teaches with a great sense of humor, with a very humble manner, but offers so much information for each technique.
   
   The Punches are shown in a classroom situation, with corrections and applications, and are also shown by students hitting a heavy bag. There is a great variety of techniques, which give an excellent foundation for further study.
   Very fun and serious video!
   
   Thank you Master Yang for keeping the classical martial arts of Shaolin Temple alive and well. This fundamental training is rigorous and gives a lot of insight into other, more 'modern' styles. Very practical, powerful techniques.



2. This dvd is loaded with information. I suspect I will be learning, refering to and benefitting from its contents for years to come.Dr Yang appears as a very learned Sifu and as I have recently begun the practice of Kung Fu at a school in Michigan (TCMA/ Berkley) this was bought as a tool to use at home. I am totally pleased and am glad I own this. Thanks to Sifu Yang for taking the time to do what he does which is pass on valuable and rare kung fu knowledge. I do feel that a beginner buying this DVD would be able to increase his/her awareness and make progress in kung fu even if there was not a school to attend though it is reccommended. I am looking forward to it all.



3. This is an excellent video that covers the basics. Dr. Yang is an excellent instructor.



4. This DVD came quickly and was in perfect condition. It is clear and easy to follow along with. The participants are people of all different sizes, shapes, ages and skill levels. I recommend you buy the Shaolin Kung Fu Fundamental Training DVD. You won't be dissappointed.



5. Dear readers,
   
   I have elected to give Yang Jwing Ming and his fundamentals dvd a 5 star rating, the answer is simple. He has given much of his time to preserve the arts throughout his life and his dedication to the arts itself is glorious and such an impact on the viewer of this dvd is noticeable. His students are also looking rather good, he does not show off his best students or scruitinize between older and younger students. A wide range of ages demonstrate techniques, stretching and sets all at different levels of ability. Quite simply, such knowledge and insight that began some three thousand years ago is now presented to the viewer and is theirs to keep on dvd forever. Much thanks to Dr. Yang Jwing Ming and all his efforts to preserve the arts.

5 comments about They Call Me Bruce?.

1. Johnny Yune plays an affable if somewhat dim witted immigrant who inadvertently gets mixed up with the drug trafficking underworld. To say any more about the plot would be pointless as it only serves as a device to spotlight Yune's silly stand-up humor within several contrived situations.
   
   The acting is bad and the jokes are tired but Yune's character is so likable that you can't help but root for him. He's goofy, innocent, clever and has a heart of gold.
   
   Oddly enough, the DVD has been edited of a couple of "tiny bits" to receive a PG rating that my old Beta tape did not have. The items cut were small and unimportant, but it seems strange as what's left of the film isn't exactly inoffensive. Yes, like many films of it's time, it has plenty of politically incorrect, stereotyping humor. But it's directed at everyone and so ridiculous that it can't be taken seriously.
   
   I like this film probably because I saw it on cable over 15 years ago where it ran over and over again and somehow etched itself into my sub consciousness. I also like it because Yune is genuinely funny and charming. You may like it if you like other tasteless and absurd 70s/80s comedies



2. It's interesting how time can change one's perspective on things. Certain films, viewed again after many years, hold up well, allowing for a more mature eye to pick up on certain aspects missed during the initial viewing, finding even more enjoyment (Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a good example). Those films usually contain a timeless quality, one that doesn't deteriorate with the passage of time. Some films, on the other hand, aren't so lucky, but that's not necessarily a bad thing as they can be seen to represent the capturing of a certain period of time, allowing for a comparative look from where we were to where we are. They Call Me Bruce? (1982) sort of falls into the latter group, for me at least, as while I have fond, yet murky, memories seeing it on cable back in the early 80's, viewing it now, makes me realize that maybe this one would have been better left in the past, something not really worthy of reliving.
   
   Someone not really worth mentioning directed this rather anemic spoof, but I will say there are four writers listed in the credits (including the star Johnny Yune), all of whom have since moved on to other aspects of the film business, obviously realizing writing wasn't their forte. The film stars the affable Johnny Yune (The Cannonball Run, They Still Call Me Bruce) and features appearances by Pam Huntington (Force Five), Raf `sometimes known as Ralph' Mauro (Beach Balls), and Margaux Hemingway (Lipstick, Double Obsession), granddaughter to the famous writer Ernest Hemingway, and sister of actress Mariel Hemingway. An interesting side note...Margaux, like her grandfather, is believed to have committed suicide in the mid-90's, some say after two failed marriages, alcohol problems, and a failed career, but her sister Mariel contends her sister didn't kill herself, but rather passed due to an epileptic seizure....but I digress...
   
   So any way, Johnny Yune plays Bruce, a man, sent to America as a young boy, after his grandfather passes, to find a woman, his grandfather's lost love, in order that she would care for him. Bruce has a scroll describing the whereabouts of the woman, who's in New York, but he's stuck in Los Angeles, working as a cook for a local Italian mob. The mob's involved with the distribution of drugs, and has been negatively impacted by federal agencies and so they turn to Bruce, believing he has martial arts skills after he manages to foil a local robbery, conning him into delivering cocaine, believing it's a special Chinese flour. As Bruce is making the deliveries across America, eventually leading him to New York, allowing him to fulfill his grandfather's last wishes, he's hounded by various gangland elements, hitmen, and law enforcement agencies, enduring all kinds of comic mishaps and situations, eventually leading up to a meeting with the Boss of Bosses (seriously, that's what they call him in the movie), not knowing that the drugs he's carrying, which he thinks is flour, has really been switched to flour...
   
   I, as many I think, have remembered this film kindly, but seeing it now, it seems very dated, and really not that funny. During my recent viewing, it came off as more of a curious oddity, filled with stereotypes (not really mean-spirited ones), excruciatingly lame jokes `I am a sex object...I always ask women for sex, and they object.' [insert rimshot here], and very mild slapstick comedy. Yune does possess a certain amount of charm and likeability, but the film was just so cornball it's hour and a half run time felt much longer. His character is referred to as Bruce throughout the film, in reference to Bruce Lee (only because they're both Asian), as he bumbles from one situation to another, seemingly his ignorance being his protection. The film seems more of a vehicle for Yune's bad jokes (his is a mixture between Henny Youngman and Rodney Dangerfield, but not as good), just like any of these sitcoms nowadays featuring popular comedians are created to allow the comedians to peddle their material (watch the first year of The Drew Carey Show, and see how obvious this aspect is). With the latter, there's usually time for the jokes to meld seamlessly into the stories and characters, but with a film, we don't really have that kind of time for development, so the lame jokes really stick out between the awkwardly constructed story and scenes. The one bright spot, as another has already mentioned is Pam Huntington, who started her career in 70's television commercials, appeared in a few films (this being her last) before falling off the Hollywood radar in obscurity. Her acting wasn't notable, but she's nice to look at...the other female lead, Margaux Hemingway, gave me the creeps, as she always exuded a very unnerving masculine tone due to strong physical features and a husky voice. I was never able to see the appeal in her, but many did, as she had lots of work modeling, and even a layout in Playboy once. The story just sort of rambles along, trying to develop situations for Yune to extol his corny quips `You must know kung-fu', `Yes, I stepped in some yesterday', finally coming to a rather schmaltzy end where Bruce finally finds the woman his grandfather loved.
   
   Madacy Entertainment presents a rather shoddy full screen picture on this DVD, with plenty of flaws, but not so bad as to be unwatchable. The film has an original runtime of 87 minutes, but here it's listed at 85, suggesting a few scenes are missing. Surprisingly there are chapter stops, and special features include a theatrical trailer for the film and some sneak previews for some cruddy Madacy DVD releases including Shades (1999), Presence of Mind (1999), and Side Streets (1998). Apparently The Call Me Bruce? (1982) did well enough to warrant a sequel five years later titled, aptly enough, They Still Call Me Bruce (1987).

3. Wow the picture quality is just awful, sound is muffled. The DVD looks way worse than the old VHS version. I would buy VHS if you like this movie. The movie is pretty funny even though the gags are really dated. There is a scene where Marsha Warfield (from Night Court) is in jail and she rubs cocaine on her teeth.



4. I guess to some this over the top slapstick comedy from the early 80's is the funniest thing they have ever seen. But by todays standards it's pretty lame/tame.
   
   Bruce is a chef or something from China whose grandfather left him some words of wisdom on his death bed, and Bruce has come to America to fullful his grandfathers wishes. Bruce's idol is Bruce Lee and he wants to be Bruce Lee... only he a clutz and no good at anything realy. He accidently bubles a crime in a quickie store and becomes a hero for 15 minutes and his boss sends him accross the country delivering what he thinks is flour to people while at the same time being hunted down by people and the FBI.
   
   It sounds better then it is. It's very dated in parts. I wouldnt say I hated it, I think i just got my hopes up way too high thinking it was going to be exactly what the reviews said it would be that are printed on the cover... however, even a movie as bad as The Slaughterhouse Massacre had a raving review printed on it, so I should learn to ignore those things for good.
   
   The humour is very lame in parts, some of it comes out funny. I got a laugh now and then out of it and there are even a few classic lines in it. But overall, only check it out if it's under $5, thats about all it's worth.. i feel ripped off for having payed more then double that.



5. My brother used to own a copy of this on VHS, and recently picked up the DVD version. It's basically 85 minutes straight of political incorrectness and "so bad it's funny" type jokes.
   
   I must admit to a little bit of nostalgia keeping this film interesting/funny (that's why I gave it 4 stars) but overall it's pretty hilarious. Maybe I don't have a very evolved sense of humor, dunno. I did find myself laughing repeatedly through the course of the film, which is all that matters as far as the "screwball B movie comedy" genre goes. A double-feature night along with "Love at First Bite" would make for some decent entertainment.

5 comments about The Buddhist Fist.

1. This movie is a classic for several reasons. Most importantly, the fight scenes are great and well coreographed. Secondly, the story is actually quite good. Lastly, the comedy in the movie is beyond what I would've thought. It's LOL funny at times. Especially the scene with the hunchback guy fighting with the chopsticks. That whole segment is worth buying the movie. Don't get me wrong the english dubbing is partly responsible for the humor, but it still had to be funny nonetheless. GET THIS MOVIE! You can't go wrong!



2. My father was into Kung Fu movies so i grew up watching many of them. It wasn't until recently i decided to start my own collection and this was one of my first choices. I love the story, choreography and the humor in this film. A definate must have for your Kung Fu library.



3. amazon is awesome I got free supersaver with my order and even though it took another 3-4 days it was worth it



4. I watched it once and of course I have a always watch twice rule before I make judgements on a movie(unless it completely sucked). After watching it twice I'd say its worth watching. But I wouldnt put this in the classic category. What I like most is the final fight where the young monk does that special buddhist style. Thats probably the most interesting style I've seen in a movie thusfar.
   
   This movies has some interesting fights too. But I'm just going off my gut feeling here that this doesnt feel like a classic to me. Out of 4 movies I bought last week from amazon, I can say this was the best one. It wasnt as good as everyone told me though(like the other 3 movies I bought). It couldve been much better. Anyway if your a kung fu fan its definitely worth a watch just to see that last fighting style. But you wont want to keep it around long.



5. This movie is one of my favorite martial arts movies of all time.
   The acting and story is ok, but the kung fu is excellent.
   The form of the monk/brother of the main character is precise, and his
   style is creative and beautiful to watch. Don't get hung up on
   the other stuff and pay attention to what really on display here:
   exquisite movement.

2 comments about Lady Ninja Kasumi - Vol. 3.

1. The 3rd episode of KASUMI series. The most famous Samurai Sord master in Japan Musashi Miyamoto appear in this story.
   Marine Akiduki that performs KASUMI are the costume playear when the scout was done in Akihabara.
   Marine that tightens the loincloth that is the undergarment of a very real familiar ninja in
   this series is very sexy.
   The scene from which Marine to be captured by the enemy is excited sexual with man's
   finger because of sideward of the loincloth is wonderful.
   Marine has shape to which a top bust is peculiar, it is also sexy there.



2. Not the greatest movie but a lot of skin. Also the acting and dialog wasn't to good either but if you just want to see Asian women naked this is a movie for you.

No comments about Romeo Must Die / Cradle 2 the Grave.

2 comments about Sword Masters: Two Champions Of Shaolin *Shaw Bothers*.

1. I can finally get rid of my pan & scan bootleg quality DVD, and I have Sword Masters to thank. First, it's directed by the Godfather of HK movies, Chang Cheh; second, it's got the Venoms in it. 'Nuff said. Despite missing Philip Kwok (Kuo Chui), he is listed as the head choreographer. Kuo was having "ego" issues with Lu Feng, and he got so angry he refused to appear in it. In spite of his absence, it's still a great film; I feel it's superior to "Showdown at the Cotton Mill" ("Two Champions..." is sort of modeled after that). Lo Mang got to show his leading man talent, and Chin Siu-Hou (Fist of Legend) got his big break. The 15 minute end fight is not to be missed. I don't know too much about "Sword Masters" (they're doing Chang's 1970 classic "Heroic Ones" as well), but they did a decent job here. Remastered, widescreen, uncut and your choice of Mandarin or English. I'd go with the Mandarin because not only are the subtitles well done, but the English track sounded a bit muffled. I think it's fabulous that these classic Shaw Brothers movies are being re-issued like this.



2. Lo Mang is up against the entirely deceitful Lu Feng who does a tremendous job with his role here as the Monkey King of his three masked, monkey hitmen. When he first meets Lo Mang at the grave of someone he'd just murdered he delivers a truly excellent performance. Although laying out silken rugs and exquisite dishes before the unaware guests Lo Mang and co. the esquisitely deceitful Lu Feng then goes on to explain that, "me? I'm a nobody, just a traveling scholar, certaintly not as important as you famous fighters." we're talking spot on delivery with his lines here. This is the english dubbed version I'm citing here. He thoroughly deceives Lo Mang and co. while they're visiting the grave of comrades he (Lu Feng) and his monkey style henchmen just murdered. Great film. A must have for any venoms fan.

3 comments about T'ai Chi Fundamentals.

1. Here you learn this wonderful and powerful ancient exercise, Tricia makes it so easy to follow. The results are unlimitted, easy to follow step by step. I highly recommend this dvd to anyone who is interested in learning Tai-Chi. This is the best starter tool.



2. "T'ai chi fundamentals" is a system developed in the 1990's in Madison, Wisconsin, by Tricia Yu. It breaks down the core movements that are used in the traditional t'ai chi form and teaches them in such a way that the beginner is able to concentrate on great technique from the outset. In other words, it is not the traditional form, but facilitates learning it. There are very specific ways to breathe, stand, bear weight, balance, etc, in t'ai chi, and these can be overwhelming to Westerners since they're so different from the way we usually tend to breathe, stand, etc. So I think the Fundamentals are a really good way to learn.
   I am studying T'ai Chi Fundamentals with a colleague of Tricia Yu, so I'm getting the training right from the dragon's mouth, you might say. I'm using this video to practice on my own, and thus it's extremely helpful. I can see, however, that it might not be so helpful to one who is trying to learn on one's own, without a teacher. It moves pretty fast and doesn't spend a lot of time on details. The instruction almost seems to assume that you're practicing something already learned, rather than learning afresh.
   I think this would work best as a reinforcement/practice tool for someone who is learning this system.



3. This DVD offers the beginner a way to understand the principles that are essential to Tai Chi practice whithout being overwhelmed. Simple practice sessions with this DVD allow the practitioner to make measurable progress in their own Tai Chi. The demonstrations with the mirrors make this by far the easiest DVD to follow that I have tried. The simple instructions in posture and breathing are enough to make this eries worth it. Consider the companion book as weill since it has some extra warm up exercises that are fun and challenging.

4 comments about The Shogun Collection.

1. the movies get 5-stars but the company 1-star.
   no matter how they try to justify their poor quality releases, the buying public are finally catching on that anything released by Brentwood, BCI Eclipse, Deimos (etc.) is going to be a poor effort. they lie about the version(s) on the DVD(s) -- substitute "TV" version(s) instead of the "Theatrical" version(s), call something "Widescreen" when it's a hack-job cutting off foreign subtitles on an English dub print, or just horrible DVD transfers and/or encoding errors. (yet always blames it on "the source material" which is just a weak cop-out)
   so, what are they doing over there at BCI to better their image? well, how about taking movies already released, movies with excellent quality, encoded perfectly, and re-packaging them as THEIRS!? well, that's what you are getting with this box set. these movies were already released by ADNESS. a company who i am guessing is now out-of-business, whose owner decided to become part of the (new?) management at BCI.
   this 'budget' re-pack includes the following titles:
   
   - Shogun's Samurai (Yagyû ichizoku no inbô/The Yagyu Conspiracy) (1978)
   - Shogun's Shadow (Shôgun Iemitsu no ranshin - Gekitotsu/Geki Totsu: The Insanity of Emperor Iemitsu Gekitosu) (1989)
   - Swords of Vengeance (Ako-jo danzetsu/The Fall of Ako Castle) (1978)
   - Shogun's Ninja (Ninja bugeicho momochi Sandayu) (1982)
   
   for those of you who didn't buy the Adness versions, this is a good buy for you. just know you are supporting a company who doesn't care about these movies, or you the customer.



2. After reading the negative review by "The Truth Hurts", I was initially reluctant to make this purchase. Having said that, I went ahead and took a chance, and I'm glad I did. This is an excellent collection of films at a very low price. There are a few things you should be aware of before making the purchase, though.
   
   The films are not all of the same genre. Of the four films, two of them (Shogun's Ninja and Shogun's Shadow) fall under the matial arts category, and are reminiscent of "Lone Wolf and Cub" and "Shadow Hunters". The other two, "Shogun's Samurai" and "Sword of Vengence" are historical dramas more in the vein of "The Seven Samurai" and "Chusingura". In fact, "Sword of Vengence" is a variation of the same story as "Chusingura", another retelling of the 47 ronin. The latter two fims are more plot driven and feature far less action. This is just fine by me, as I enjoy both types of samurai film.
   
   Another thing you should know is that Sonny Chiba is not actually the star of any of these films. He plays a supporting role in all of them. So die hard Sonny Chiba fans may be disappointed.
   
   All and all, this is an excellent purchase for fans of Japanese cinema, especially considering the price. Most Japanese films cost a premium (check out the price being asked for any Kurosawa or Lone Wolf and Cub film), so to get four excellent films for the price of one is a steal.
   
   I don't know anything about the distribution company that sells this, and frankly I don't care. I can tell you that the sound and picture quality of all of these films is excellent. There are absolutely no issues there at all. There is an issue with the misleading marketing of these as "Sonny Chiba films" which I've already discussed, and for that this collection should be deducted one, maybe even two stars, but I'm going to go ahead and award it five to offset the unjustified one-star review.
   
   Highly recommended!



3. The Shogun Collection is a bit schizophrenic.
   
   Two of the movies are great historical epic Samurai films from one of Japan's all-time great directors, Kinji Fukasaku. These movies are Shogun's Samurai, and Swords of Vengeance. Expertly directed, very well written, and brought to life by some fantastic actors, both of these movies belong in every Samurai movie fan's collection.
   
   The other two movies are cheesy (by design) 80's action flicks where Samurais and Ninjas can perform superhuman acts (leap tall buildings in a single bound type stuff). They're passable as entertainment as long as you turn your brain off (although Shogun's Shadow does have it's moments - there is the basis of a good script, it just gets overpowered by too much cheese).
   
   The only thing that all four of the movies have in common are supporting roles for Sonny Chiba - who is particularly good in Shogun's Samurai!
   
   The transfers for ALL FOUR of these movies are brilliant! Beautiful anamorphic widescreen, original Japanese language soundtrack with English subtitles - these are some great DVD's! BCI Eclipse has been licensing many different movies and TV series recently, and paying attention to quality. Their licensing deal here with Adness continues that trend. They've come a long way from the "Public Domain" specialists that they used to be (although they still do that as well).
   
   In the end, this set is worth buying for the two Kinji Fukasaku films alone - you can watch the others or, as some have done, sell them on ebay.



4. I'm a new Chiba fan and I only want to buy box sets since it's cheaper and easier that way. I'm happy with this set even though Chiba's not the star. As others have said the picture and sound are very good. Heck the box itself is better than I thought it would be. This is a solid buy for your collection and it couldn't hurt to add Chiba's Samurai collection too.

5 comments about The Order.

1. The Order sheds light on a religious sect dating back to the Crusades. Having survived throughout the centuries, it aims at fulfilling a prophecy, which would plunge mankind into a third world war...
   In short, the acting and the dialogues are extremely weak (Van Damme and Charlton Heston really disappoint with their performances!), while the plot and the setting, are actually very good, therefore, the potential for a great movie was definitely there if only the actors and writers could... act and write!
   As for the rating, if you're going to have it rated R at least give it the sex and/or the violence. If not, give it the proper rating i.e. PG-13.
   Overall, far from being a masterpiece, it just might provide for an evening's entertainment if in a really silly mood and/or intoxicated. 1½ Stars
   If Van Damme movies is what you had in mind, check out the Legionnaire and Timecop.



2. The plot line is thin but the action is great. Sofia Milos was great in this film.



3. Well, first of all the viewers of this movie should not take it seriously. It's not that type of movie. Its more of a campy/spunky type action film. Yeah, it is a lot like Indiana Jones, and isn't Van Dammes best, but still has many high points to it. If you want Van Dammes best acting DON'T start here; go watch In Hell, Wake of Death, Lionheart, or maybe Timecop for that. For his action/martial arts skills this isn't a bad place to go. It has quite a few good action scenes in it. Van Damme is always cool as hell and has some good lines. The ending is also pretty good as well. With the ending you get Van Dammes best kick(jumps and glides) out of all his movies he has ever done, even at his older age. The movie as a whole isn't nowhere near as bad as a lot of people think. It's just another action film that Van Damme fans and MAYBE action fans should love. But like I said its NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.



4. A light film made all the more watchable by the presence of the actress Sofia Milos. Her presence is stimulating.



5. First off, this nothing like Indiana Jones. The only thing the two have in common is that the word "artifact(s)" is brought up in both movies.
   
   The attempt at humor in this film could come off to many as just bad directing/acting/execution. I think maybe some of it would make a 10-13 year old laugh, and while the movie is rated R there is no bad language and nothing more than people getting punched in the face. So don't be afraid to let your youngster see this.
   
   The action is o.k. and the plot is weak. While if you're looking to collect every Jean-Claude Van Damme film out there this review probably won't stop you from buying this. If you are just looking for some good, "Muscles from Brussels" action though I recommend looking else where.

5 comments about Game of Death.

1. As a long time Bruce Lee fan I found "Game of Death" to be a disgrace. Bruce Lee died tragically during the production of the film and for some reason the film company decided to finish it and release it with out him. A very bad decision, because the finished product is one of the most broken and comically bad kung Fu films ever made. It's not that I'm angry that they decided to finish the film with out Bruce, but if you're going to finish a film make sure that your star is in at least half of the footage. Instead Bruce Lee is in about 10% and the rest is his body double with a Bruce Lee head pasted on his shoulder. He'll be fighting and the head will remain motionless and expresstionless, it's like a gag video from youtube. On the other hand, the 10% that Bruce is in(Not his evil pasted head clone)is classic. No one can forget his fight with Kareem and it's truly one of the most memorable fights in Kung Fu film history. The rest of the film is a painful bore. I find out fast that this wasn't really a Bruce Lee film at all. Just a poorly fabricated movie built around 15 minutes of Lee footage that only comes in at the end.I felt really cheated after watching it. For Bruce Lee fanatics only. If you're looking for a good Kung Fu flick or just a good flick in general then "Game of Death" is not for you.



2. 
   If you like Bruce Lee, then you should buy this movie. I consider it a nice collectible.



3. This is my favorite Bruce Lee movie. It arrived in a fast and timely manner. I would order again.



4. This film is great to me due to the fight scenes of course which i thought were well done. The actual tape recieved from this seller was in a nonworking condition however.



5. The Game of Death is the biggest disappointment you can watch as a Bruce Lee fan. It is not even a Bruce Lee film. It is a film with a terrible story, a stunt double, Bruce Lee's face pasted on the shoulders of the stunt double (yes it is actually like a photo on someone's shoulders), sequences taken from other Bruce Lee films you have seen before and the two fight scenes filmed with Bruce Lee before he died.
   
   So most people want to watch it for the 11 minutes of Bruce Lee where he appears right at the end. There is the nunchaku fight scene and the Kareem Abdul Jabbar fight.
   
   The bottom line is that there is a much better way to do this than watching this train wreck. The film is absolutely chronically bad and the production should have been shelved and the fight sequences released in a documentary. That is the way this should have been done... in fact it has been done! It's called "Bruce Lee - A Warrior's Journey" (2000). If you have any sense you would get that if you want to watch this for the Bruce Lee fight sequence. It contains all of this sequence and more (outtakes).
   
   The fight scene is a classic though, although it is debatable if it's his best. It is Lee with more experience and his styles are even wider than before. He also wears a legendary yellow jumpsuit with black stripes and cute matching shoes. The outfit appears in the Tekkan games with the character Marshal Law.
   
   This terrible film should never have been remastered for release in the Martial Arts section of Contender Entertainment Group's `Hong Kong Legends'. It should have been omitted from the Bruce Lee box set and replaced with A Warrior's Journey.
   
   Anyway, A Warrior's Journey is where it is at. Bruce Lee would have personally smashed this production to splinters.
