Bruce Lee tells Bruce Li he will be heading to Hong Kong, and Li will be in charge while he's gone. He also mentions there have been some threats. So when Lee dies, Li goes to Hong Kong to investigate the mysterious death.

In reality there was nothing mysterious about Lee's death. It was caused by an allergic reaction to components of a drug, meoprobamate, and his body overheating in part because he had had his underarm sweat grands removed in 1972, because underarm sweat did not photograph pleasingly. This had caused his body to overheat, and this killed him.

Li gets involved in various fights with people who are trying to set up a system of martial arts schools who killed him because he stood in their way. The fights are fast, cut at a great pace -- in order to make them seem better -- and there's lots of location work.

Li's career as Bruce Lee's successor would end by 1983. His last movie was in 1991.

This is just another example of someone trying to make a quick buck off of the death of a legend. This film basically is about a supposed disciple of Bruce Lee named David hunting for the people who allegedly murdered his mentor (for the record, his official cause of death was listed as a cerebral edema). However, all this film does is exploit the death of Bruce Lee and all the theories surrounding the sudden death of perhaps the greatest ambassador for the martial arts. Why couldn't they just let the man rest in peace? Sure he died at a young age, but there probably was nothing sinister about it. However, the main problem I have with it is the fact that they tried to pass off a "Bruce Lee" wannabee off as the genuine article. This made this film more of a rip off than it already was. I hope that the person who made this garbage feels real good about the way he tarnished a true legend of the screen.

This film is pretty good out of many Bruce Lee death plot that plagued the 70's kung-fu film market. Bruce Lee (not the real one) is worried about the mob, so his student "the tiger" who looks like Bruce visits him. Bruce is dead as we see stock footage of his real life funeral, as the Tiger figures out who killed him. There's some real good fight sequence in this film, especially the one at the end where the tiger fights the baron, a mean dude who fights with a top hat on, and it never falls off in fight sequence. Title theme from Issac Hayes music from the film THREE TOUGH GUYS is the main theme! (i wonder if the producers got permission to use it?). If you are looking for quality, this isn't it. But a quick way to kill time, this is your film. The dubbing in this film is first class as Dimention pictures hired Chinese-American dubbing, instead of the usual loud british-chinese dubbing. You can hear American actor James Hong in several voices in this film.

Bruce Lee is dead and there must be foul play, there must! How can a movie like this not fail? It must fail. There is no way to make a winner out of this. Instead of action and martial arts we start with people who can do action and martial arts (not act) trying to act, trying to create suspense, mystery, and solve a crime. That must fail. The all talk and no action goes on for 23 minutes before there is a poorly choreographed and filmed fight in the dark. The one thing that could make the movie interesting takes 23 minutes to get to and then flops. This pattern continues until the end. Thanks to the fast forward button I watched the entire movie – with a run time of one hour and eighteen minutes in about thirty minutes. This is the preferred method to watch this movie. I found it almost entertaining that way and rate it a generous four out of ten but only at 2x or 4x speed.

People need to get over themselves regarding this prime piece of Bruceploitation. It's the mid 70's and Bruce Lee's films are still packing out cinemas 2-3 yrs after release. In that golden age of exploitation cinema it would only be a matter of time before a film would be made based on finding Lee's "Killer(s)". For a low budget Taiwanese flick it comes over as good action /mystery film that showcases it's up-coming lead actor; Bruce Li. Dimension Films did a good job in adapting the original (Bruce Lee - The Star of Stars) by having a good dub-cast deliver the lines in English and augmenting the action with some great library music tracks. People forget that these films were made to make money not to be reverential "tributes". The recent discovery of Bruce and Linda Lee's "Drugs" letters suggest the film makers where more knowing than the average fan(atic) realised. The late Roger Corman would have been proud to have produced a title like Exit the Dragon-Enter the Tiger as it was quite a money-maker in it's day. Hats off to those involved, especially the great Bruce LI as The Tiger!
