Well, this was convenient, a sequel to the original; that I at least,
heard is not related. But I would say for the sake of argument
it's a stand alone follow-up.
I recently watched this a couple of days ago, because I had ordered it from my library, and at best, found it enjoyably bad. And comparing it to the first, it's just as good, having said that, let's get to it.
This story is about a secret syndicate organization called "Tower of Death", since the story starts off with Bruce Lee, I'll start here, Bruce Lee makes an extended cameo appearance as Billy Lo, at the start of the story where he is asked to attend a funeral of a respected martial arts master, and then,(killed of, yet again)! But this time for "real,"(kinda silly I know) at least in the movie, So his brother Bobby Lo must go to the tower of death, take revenge and find out the truth.
I would say this was at least as good as the first, maybe not in story, but more so for the action scenes which are done very well. But as far as the story, it makes no sense at all, truthfully I would say the story is incoherent manly because the filmmakers I think wanted this one to be just a fun no-brainer type of film.
For the beginning, the same techniques were used for Bruce Lee, using stand-ins and archive footage but this time the effects used are much better and they don't stand out badly like the first, which is good.
This film as a whole was bad but enjoyably bad, Bobby Lo also fights a lion at one point, even though it's a man in a suit LOL. I mean this movie is bonkers, then at the end the movie completely shifts into science fiction territory, but trust me it was cool. I found myself just loving this, even though this movie is so cheesy and the acting is bad, but It strangely all comes together and it's brilliant.
I give this a 4/10. To me the first is still better, as for the sequel it's as good but better with the action and truthfully, I like both.
If you don't mind a corny martial arts movie like this, see it. But you must to have a sense of humor about it or you won't enjoy it. Highly recommended.
