I was fifteen years old when I first saw this film and the image of Jean Claude Van Damme in the ring is one of the most impressive images possible. The story is simple: there is a boy who must avenge a painful situation through a more than mysterious ghostly appearance of a Bruce Lee who returns from the dead to be a coach. Although the story is very simple, it is very directed by Corey Yuen who, when it comes to showing martial action, is one of the best in the world. The ending is a delight. I know many people who learned martial arts after watching this film. It is effective action and entertainment that is still exciting today. Good movie.
