The Japs are here and they're taking over (go figure). I saw this film many years ago but never could find it, until now.
In a nutshell... When our hero (Barry Chan) comes home from working, he finds his father and wife murdered, and a message written in blood. Its vengeance time... He goes in search of those who killed his family and runs into a spoiled bitch (Doris Lung Chun-Erh) and later her brother (David Tong Wai) which are the other two stars of the film.
In the long run our hero ends up getting caught and tortured but Doris ends up helping him escape. Many villagers pay the price and its time for our hero to go back for revenge.
The thing that stands out in this movie (that I remembered from long ago) is when Barry uses bricks in his hands as weapons. Some may not like this one too much and could say its a rip from a Bruce Lee movie.
I enjoyed seeing it again.
Also... The films original title from '72 is "Chinese". "The Dragon's Vengeance" is the USA dubbed version released in '74 and "The Dragon's Executioner" is supposedly a USA re-issue although when I search for it I can only find a poster, and its an exact copy of "Bamboo Brotherhood" poster with "The Dragon's Executioner" title on it.
Maybe they did release this (I've never seen it) but its a little confusing.
