Bruce Lee fights back from the Grave
Regi: Doo-Yong Lee
Action
1976
This is
the worst kind o Brucesploitation there is. They haven’t even bothered to edit
in scenes with Bruce Lee anywhere in
the picture. What you get it is lightning hitting Bruce Lees Grave and that’s all…it’s over in like thirty seconds.
The rest
of the film regards a Kung Fu instructor tracking down a few thugs which he
believes has murdered his friend. He has to fight his way past each and every one
of them and eventually finds the mastermind behind it all. It’s kind of a
storyline you would expect from Bruce
Lee so I guess they got that right. As a matter a fact I think it reminds
me a bit of Way of the Dragon. Or
perhaps I wanted it to remind me of something so bad I interpreted it that way.
The star
of this flick is Bruce Lea, you can’t
but be impressed by the innovative ways these guys try to make it seem like
this is a lost flick with the genuine Bruce.
This and a lot of other films that is. It’s not all terrible but I don’t think
there’s a reason for anyone to watch this more than once. It’s rather
pointless! I come to think of a quote from another movie – King of the Kickboxers, where the cop and hero of the movie have to
watch some genuine death movies. He doesn’t realize that the actions in the
movies are for real an comment them to be “like Bruce Lee movies – without Bruce!”.
That’s kind of how I feel. The movie would probably have been bad with Bruce Lee in it, but now it doesn’t
even have that! Avoid!
2/10
