To cash in on footage from a film Lee did not finish before his death, producer Chow puts in a double and uses out-takes for this kung-fu mess.

Aside from a few clumsy insert shots, Bruce Lee doesn't even appear until the final 20 minutes!

A bizarre, entertaining, disjointing and strangely discomforting film that marked the end of Bruce Lee's career.

More classic kung-fu from the genre's legendary master.

...the standard of the choreography is excellent, and the final 20 minutes - which are almost all of Bruce fighting - are well worth holding out for.
