Not a real Bruce Lee film
3 September 2013
This is the last film, in which the producers and director tried desperately to extract the last table scraps of Bruce Lee into it. Why just couldn't call it Game of Death 2, but without Bruce. Don't get me wrong, I love Bruce Lee like every other person in the world, but… this is not a Bruce Lee film. They just took scenes from "Enter the Dragon" and maybe some others and edited it (badly) on the film… come on, man! Make a film, stop living in the past! The story is about Billy Lo and his younger brother Bobby Lo. Billy is a master martial artist and a friend of Chin Ku (played by Taekwondo master Jang Lee Hwang), who mysteriously dies and after stealing his coffin at the funder, Billy is killed trying to reclaim the coffin. And, all of a sudden Bobby Lo enters the film. By the story, Bobby loves to chase women, rather to practice martial arts. But, it turns out that Bobby is better than you think. He is very experienced and skilled, so he uses his skills to find people who killed his brother.

Now, the problem here, is that in the first, well 15-20 minutes in the film, the Bruce Lee "clone actor" is taking time from Tai Chung Kim (who plays Bobby), and credited the dead man (Bruce) instead a real actor who filled Bruce's character. I think that's disgusting. The film is no brainer, low budget, acting is very, very childish-like, just like in most of those Asian Kung Fu films… Now… this film is only worth watching because of the excellent fighting scenes. Really, check it, fighting scenes are very good, very well choreographed and filmed with such energy. Very good mixture of Kung Fu, Wushu, Taekwondo and Karate. The main star Tai Chung Kim is very good at Taekwondo, Jang Lee Hwang was excellent, just flawless with his leg techniques and to mention other actors like Roy Horan, he was good also. Overall, this is strictly for martial arts fans, and for those who practice Taekwondo and Kung Fu.
