Bruce Lee look-alikes galore!.......2004-02-04

See the most popular Bruce Lee clones in these four classic films.

SIDE A
MOVIE 1: THE CLONES OF BRUCE LEE. After Bruce Lee dies, a mad scientist creates three clones of him and sends them on special missions. Kung Fu movie legends Dragon Lee and Bruce Le lead a cast of Lee-alikes in this wacky adventure with loads of kung fu action!

MOVIE 2: BIG BOSS 2. Pretty good kung fu. Stars Dragon Lee

SIDE B
MOVIE 3: BRUCE LEE'S DEADLY KUNG FU:Bruce Li goes to San Francisco. He gets into trouble with an American gang and the fight is on!

MOVIE 4: BRUCE'S FIST OF VENGEANCE: A student of the late Bruce Lee, Jack comes to Manilla to fight in a contest. He passes on a fighting manual that Bruce Lee gave him to his friend, Peter. After Jack is killed, Peter sets out for revenge. Bruce Le plays Peter. This is now one of my fav flicks of all time! I just love that theme music.

WOW! You'll love these films. Watch those fights! Bare in mind that the films are old and the picture is fuzzy. You probably won't mind. They are classic films that will be remembered forever.

DO NOT ENTER the DRAGON 4 Pack!!!!!.......2003-10-19

This 4 pack is really a 1 pack meaning that there is only 1 dvd inside and not 4. Each side of the disc contains 2 movies and no extras. The movies are presented in full screen and are NOT remastered. Instead, the video quality is blurry and scratchy and the audio goes down and out at times. This is because the movies here have been transferred from old VHS copies and onto this DVD. Normally, I don't mind watching these types of films in full screen and in less than mint condition because I know that sometimes that's all that is available (some of the original prints have been lost or are not presently on the market for remastering), but this disc is unwatchable. Most of the action scenes are so cropped that you can only see arms and legs or one person in the frame where originally you would have seen two whole bodies. How can you enjoy an action film when you can't SEE the action?!!! I've seen the Bruce Li movie that's on this DVD before on VHS and it wasn't as fuzzy as it is here so I know that that film is available in better condition elsewhere, and I'm sure the others are too since they're pretty famous Bruce-Lee-a-like titles. Wait until you find them available as separate titles which usually means better picture quality. Don't waste your money like I did!
If you like Bruce Li, I highly recommend the film IRON DRAGON STRIKES BACK which has recently been made available on DVD and can be found at video stores for rent or to purchase. It's a very good showcase for the underrated Ho Ching Tao (Bruce Li's real name) giving him a suspenseful, modern day story that is much more original than any of his Bruce Lee imitation titles and lets him display his above par martial arts skill and acting.

Value for money!.......2003-09-11

These are not the best films to honor Bruce Lee by a long shot,but they have their place in the history of the Lee legend.
Included are the following films-
1-B.L.'s Deadly Kung Fu-featuring Bruce Li and a young Hwang Jang Lee(Drunken Master).The plot merges elements from Lee's real life with pieces from Way of the Dragon.The combo is unque and action packed,especially the ending.
2-Big Boss 2-Features Dragon Lee.The supporting cast is strong with Bolo Yeung,Philip Ko and Cheung Nick.Lots of action.
3-Bruce's Fist of Vengeance-features Bruce Le. He is a bit annoying and the story is non-existent.But fighting is plentiful, albeit(unintentionally)comical.Le is stiff and robotic compared even to other Lee impersonators.
4-Clones of Bruce Lee-By far the funniest film ever released in the genre.From the premise,to the sets,to the action scenes, this film is a laugh riot.One clip in paticular has a villian testing out some Bronzemen,where they get whacked over the head repeatedly with an iron bar.It should be re-named 3 Dragon Stooges.Great stuff!

All of these films played in theatres 25 years ago,and they packed audiences in.Films like these did keep Bruce Lee's name in the public eye for quite a few years,so they did serve their purpose.

Overall the disc is cheap and you will definitely get your money's worth(under five dollars a film).

My suggestion is to get a few bags of popcorn and enjoy over a weekend with similar minded friends.

AN OK COLLECTION OF BRUCEPLOITATION FLICKS.......2003-08-24

THIS DVD WHICH FEATURES BRUCE LEE'S IMITATORS WAS RELEASED FOR THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF BRUCE LEE'S UNTIMELY DEATH. THIS DVD HAS 4 MOVIES. SIDE A HAS ''BRUCE LEE'S DEADLY KUNG FU'' AND ''BRUCE'S FIST OF VENGEANCE'' WHILE SIDE B HAS ''THE CLONES OF BRUCE LEE'' AND ''THE BIG BOSS II''. HERE'S MY OPINION ON ALL THESE FLICKS;

SIDE A

''BRUCE LEE'S DEADLY KUNG FU'' -3 STARS- BEST MOVIE ON THE WHOLE DVD. TWO MEN BECOME THE TARGETS OF A LOCAL GANG. SUPRISINGLY, BRUCE LI WAS GOOD IN THIS MOVIE. THIS IS A HUGE STEP UP IN THE ENTERTAINMENT DEPARTMENT FOR BRUCE LI. FINALLY, BRUCE LI MANAGES TO HAVE AN ACCEPTABLE MOVIE. TOO BAD I CAN'T SAY THE SAME FOR MANY OF HIS OTHER MOVIES.

''BRUCE'S FIST OF VENGEANCE'' -2.5 STARS- A MARTIAL ARTS INSTRUCTOR [BRUCE LE] IS THE TARGET OF A CRIME BOSS WHO WANTS A RARE BRUCE LEE BOOK THAT THE INSTRUCTOR POSSESSES. FAR FROM THE QUALITY OF THE REAL BRUCE LEE, BUT, I'VE SEEN MUCH WORSE.

SIDE B

''THE CLONES OF BRUCE LEE'' -1.5 STARS- AFTER BRUCE LEE DIES, A SCIENTIST MAKES 3 CLONES OF BRUCE LEE. STRAIGHT UP STUPID AND BORING. THE CLONES ARE PLAYED BY DRAGON LEE, BRUCE LE, AND BRUCE LAI. JUST A SERIES OF POINTLESS FIGHTS. I KNOW THE REAL BRUCE LEE WOULD BE MAD IF HE WERE ALIVE TO SEE HIS GREAT NAME BEING USED TO SELL BS MOVIES LIKE THIS.

''BIG BOSS II'' -2 STARS- A CHINESE MAN [DRAGON LEE] SETS OUT TO GET REVENGE FOR HIS MURDERED FATHER. THIS IN-NAME ONLY SEQUEL TO THE FISTS OF FURY IS SO-SO AT BEST, BUT, WHAT BRINGS IT DOWN IS ITS PLOT. IT'S BEEN DONE TOO MANY TIMES BEFORE.

OVERALL RATING; 3 STARS

Spy vs.Spy.......2007-08-15

DEADLY EXECUTION is filled with action-packed intrigue, bizarre twists and the highest stakes of all: survival itself! These older non-USA titles feature many famous actors and are a nice set of little-seen espionage and adventure movies.

SYNOPSES:
"Deadly Recruits" - A western intelligence agent plays a game of bluff and counter-bluff against the KGB's most dangerous spies.

"The Death Merchants" - An innocent German citizen is pursued by Middle Eastern terrorists after he accidentally sees a message left for a double-agent named Herzog at the Hamburg airport.

"The Sell-Out" - A retired CIA agent reluctantly returns to espionage at the request of his treacherous student, who has defected to the Soviet Union. Now the agent wants out, causing both the US and the USSR to send their best hit men after him.

"The Treasure Of The Amazon" - In the steamy jungle, a group of adventurers search for a legendary river supposedly filled with diamonds "the size of your eyes." The explorers not only compete against each other, but also must survive ferocious alligators, a tribe of topless female warriors, piranhas, and headhunters.
