Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
One of the best of the Chinese chop sock dramas. It has a basically serious story: the inmates of one kung-fu school have poisoned the teacher of a rival school, and our devoted hero sets out on a course of revenge. But a potential revenge tragedy turns into a film of comic strip outrageousness as Bruce Lee tries, but fails, to reconcile his natural thirst for revenge with his desire to keep the name of his school clean. The result is a patently absurd and funny movie, involving a series of spectacular fight routines, often filmed in slow motion, which are highly acrobatic and exciting.Author:
