Some Decent, If Overedited Fight Choreography
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.
