TheBigSick This is perhaps the most unique film by Bruce Lee, which is made after his death. Some stand-ins are used in the film. A lot of scenes, including the major fight scenes, are actually played by the stand-ins, not by Bruce Lee himself. But still, there is a very entertaining acrobatic fight sequence in a locker room.

Leofwine_draca Although this is best viewed as a curiosity piece, it still manages to pack in some mean martial arts fights during the running time - most of which take place within the last twenty minutes. Up until then, the "entertainment" comes from watching a poor double of Lee trying to hide his face from the camera in any way possible (wearing hats, helmets, huge dark sunglasses, and a fake beard), scenes which are occasionally interspersed with poor stock footage and clips of Lee from other movies to make it look as it he is in the film...at one point his face being pasted onto another actor! GLADIATOR this definitely isn't.Inevitably, due to the fact that Lee was dead before this film was made and that they had to base the story around twenty minutes of fights he had previously filmed, it's a muddled and disjointed affair, but considering what they were up against, I think the editing guys did a pretty good job with this. The best that they could have, at least. Robert Clouse (who had already made his mark with ENTER THE DRAGON) isn't a particularly good director, but he keeps the action flowing smoothly and ensues that things never get boring.Kicking off with some neat self-referencing (Lee fights a young Chuck Norris, in a scene actually filmed for an earlier movie of his yet ripped off here), we are immediately introduced to a diverse group of multi-cultural bad guys for Lee to fight. Yes, the plot is simplistic in the extreme and consists of mostly action-orientated scenes, but it's a solid basis for what is basically a martial arts movie like this. The actors and actresses drafted in to make sense of the plot are totally wasted - Colleen Camp appears and disappears as Lee's on/off girlfriend - yet the fact that they have never actually acted with Lee is quite well hidden.For the first hour, things are pretty average, including the martial arts scenes. However, soon after, the first of some previously unseen fights comes into play, set in a locker room. This is great stuff. Immediately afterwards, Lee fights a HUGE black guy (the difference in their sizes is incredible), which is a superb fight scene. After this, Lee battles yet another baddie, before reverting back to being a double for the ending. These three fights make the film worthwhile, showcasing as they do the best of Bruce Lee's talent and proving that the actor could indeed "fight back from beyond the grave" after all - a fitting tribute to a legendary actor.You've gotta love the zany twist at the end. Lee's double comes across Mr Land, the chief bad guy, and sees that he has committed suicide. However, it turns out that the corpse is a dummy after his fake head is kicked off! Fans with a morbid interest in Lee's death will be interested to see a brief-but-real shot of his corpse in the film - he had a public funeral with an open coffin, and you might have guessed that somebody with a camera would happen to be there at just the right time. One thing I particularly liked was the closing credits, in which a moving tribute to Mr Lee plays over a photograph of him. A fitting end to the great man, in what is a surprisingly enjoyable little film.

alysiumdream What an absolutely debacle this film is, the film makers bastardized Bruce Lee's original concept and turned it into something akin to the old Three Stooges movies! There are not enough words in the English language or any other I would wager to express how awful this movie is and what a travesty it makes of the whole concept. It is completely unfathomable why they took what would have been a unique idea, and turned it into.. well, this. I cannot imagine a worse way to capitalize on someone's death than this, and what an insulting way to remember a man who fought so hard to end the stereotypes of atrocious martial arts movies and to create meaningful work. I think the makers of this film should be ashamed of the mess they made of this.

gavin6942 A martial arts movie star (Bruce Lee, sort of) must fake his death to find the people who are trying to kill him.Why this movie exists is really the ultimate question. They wanted to pass it off as a Bruce Lee movie, but it is not one. No matter how you slice it, and then paste it back together, putting footage from older Lee movies into a new story does not make it a Lee movie.Some of the edits are really sloppy, and many times the stand-ins are just awful. There is a nice section of fight footage later on, but it is not enough to make this work. What should have happened is this film being split into two: a full film with a different actor replacing Lee, and a short film just showing footage of Lee's fights that never made it to a film because of his passing. The blend is just a mess.
