TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

SnoopyStyle Dragon (Bruce Li) is a respected police investigator in HongKong. He's frustrated failing to save a jumper. He and his partner are assigned a tough counterfeit ring. Han Tin Lung is the head of the criminal organization. His son Han Chin Wei has used his Japanese friend Kimura (Bolo Yeung) and stolen paper from London to create perfect counterfeit money. Donna is the beautiful daughter of a criminal colleague who arrives with plans of her own.This is a HongKong Bruceploitation. There is a lot of hand to hand combat and female frontal nudity. It's pure B-movie. The problem is that Bruce Li is a blank and he adds little to the movie. The best parts come from the villain side. I'm fascinated with the Hans and Donna. They could be the Godfather but Bruce Li keeps interjecting himself into the movie. The hand to hand fighting is good at first but after awhile, the choreography is repetitive and it gets boring. This may be better than most Bruceploitations but that's not saying much.

gridoon2018 You don't expect a movie called "Image Of Bruce Lee" to be particularly well put together, and indeed it is not: the "plot" (which pits Bruce Li and his partner against a gang of counterfeiters (not exactly the most heinous of crimes)) is largely a collage of random fights, though there is one good twist concerning Dana, the sole female character (who is also not afraid of full frontal nudity!). The fights occur frequently enough, and they fall somewhere between the slower, more artificial style of the 1970s and the faster, more fluid style of the 1980s. Bruce Li is one of the most prolific of the Bruce Lee clones of the 1970s, and you can tell why - he knows his stuff. But this film, while not short on fighting, is rather forgettable. Bolo Yeung has a couple of fights as well but gets dispatched in the middle. *1/2 out of 4.

avantgarage There are a great wealth of post-mortem Bruce Lee 'homage' films, and one can speculate the various reasons for their existence. A potential for market saturation. The refusal to accept the death of one of the greatest martial artists/martial arts film stars. Maybe a synthesis of both. Yet 'The image of Bruce Lee' is a real gem in this 'canon' not for its authenticity, integrity...but for its plain goofiness. By the end of the first three minutes, I was immersed in some sort of absurdist comedy. A suicidal man turns to the camera and the dub has him say, rather nonchalantly, 'A-choo' Some diamonds that he had out on loan have been stolen. So entirely full of remorse, he escapes rescue by firemen below, waddling with a rescue trampoline and a 'special squad' member donning a very familiar yellow jumpsuit and haircut atop via his secret weapon - a prosthetic arm. In so many words, I anticipated a cult classic. --- The rest of the film: At times, a typical eastern martial arts film, with all its staples. 1. The goofy sidekick 2. Full frontal female nudity - and of course - 3. Fight scenes. A word or fifty about these. The ultimate villain has a special penchant for tossing money. Least importantly, the choreography was awful. Most consist of fight, flee, fight, and so an, with an optional flight by car. Bruce Li fights in a street brawl fashion with the goons, but against certain characters, a rigid traditional style of Gung Fu reigns supreme. All scenes end, as a friend described so perfectly.... 'pummel, pummel, pummel.'In other words, this film will not impress if superb fight scenes are sought. Go get some Shaw Brothers stuff instead. Rather it takes a real eye for the elements of 'cult' style: the overwhelming presence of apparent budget limitations, e.g. horribly overexposed footage (which is quite pleasing, in my opinion). And the elements of 'cult' style are a-plenty, if one has the patience. I give the high rating not for its achievement as a martial arts classic, but for its complete lack of quality (... its cult-ness?), and of course, the performance of Moustache's moustache.

herr_chagall i have repeatedly watched this movie on German TV in the wee hours of the morning and much of my fascination for it derives from the absolutely preposterous dialogue that has been very possibly not only preserved, but even enhanced by the German translation | dubbing.exceptionally cheap production, non-existent acting and a script that never progressed past the storyboard | exposé stage are sure-shot ingredients for a cult classic of a) how not to do it if you want to shoot a serious movie. b) how to do it if you want to pay homage to the camp fun movies like »black belt jones« et al.all in all, two semi-undercover (they blow their cover themselves) cops and a sexy interpol agent attempt to infiltrate and bust a counterfeit organization-mass panic and third-rate fight sequences (but first-rate third-rate fight sequences) ensue! i highly recommend the movie to people who enjoy memorizing insane one-liners and share them with their friends and acquaintances in the worst possible moment. :) as an extra bonus to those that are into the eastern genre i should add that bolo yeung stars in the movie as well.good times.
