from a man who was meant to be a true martial artist I'm surprised he would do such a film when it's all about gangsters in violence in tower of death but with that being said it was ok for what it was...!! Just another kung fu martial art film....!! I have seen better...!! with better acting better martial arts skill mastery of stunts and acrobatics and with a true technical mastery of wire fu or chinese wire work and better fight choreography..!!

Despite getting slated as a cash-in on Bruce Lee's legacy, this isn't that bad a martial arts film. Despite getting top billing, Bruce's character gets killed half way through the film, leaving Tong Lung, the "irresponsable brother" to seek revenge. The second half of the film, without Bruce's out-takes, is more coherent, and builds to a decent climax. The fights are actually pretty good overall, especially the final confrontation between Tong Lung and Hwang Jang Lee, a Korean fighter who regularly turns up in Martial Arts films as the "baddie" (Drunken Master, for example), and is a superb fighter. Not as good as a proper Bruce Lee film, it nevertheless remains a good watch.
Containing some astounding martial arts- but thats the only redeeming feature. About 20 mins worth of cheesy but nonetheless impressive fight scenes- which simply need to be edited into a 30minute montage. Thin and unlikely storyline- even for a martial arts flick- naff dialogue and less than one-dimendional characters if that is possible. A fiver's worth at best.
