Curiosità:

Bruce Lee had filmed over 30 minutes of fight scenes for Game of Death (1978) when work was suspended to allow Lee to work on Enter the Dragon (1973). However, Lee died before he could return. Six years later, director Robert Clouse fleshed out a feature around the original footage with a new cast, including two stand-ins for Lee. After the success of Game of Death in Japan, there was high demand for a new Bruce Lee movie there. As a result, much of the movie is filmed in and takes place in Japan.

Errori:

Revealing mistakes: The lion fighting Bobby Lo is a laughable fake.

Citazioni:

Lewis: Bobby Lo? Could he be Billy Lo's Brother?

kung-fu-trash that'll have you laughing for days

Of all the trashy kung-fu flicks made in the late seventies, I'd have to say this is my favourite. Not because it's so good, but because it's so bad. The story is similar to hundreds of other karate-movies: A man is killed by a drugs-syndicate and his brother takes revenge by kicking them all to kingdom come.

What makes this movie so terribly bad, is the use of old footage of Bruce Lee (who "plays" the part of the older brother). It includes scenes cut from his movies (some of which were made when he was still a kid) and even parts of his funeral. To cover up the use of old footage (as if we didn't know that already) they chose to use a stand-in in some of the scenes. Add to that the dreadful acting, directing, music (also stolen from other movies) and camera-work and you've got an instant kung-fu-trash classic. The result has to be seen to be believed. It had me laughing for days.
