        We will be invincible...

        Bruce Li stars as a martial artist who along with his teacher to Malaysia to sort out a martial artist who has failed to keep his word in turning over a new leaf and live a peaceful life. Also Bruce Li and his master are also looking for the Asian girl who was kidnapped by said bad guy martial artist who apparently wants to get married and won't take no for an answer. In fact the bad guy beats up her cousin, her parents and even sics kung fu fighting apes to thwart her would be heroes. Thankfully Bruce Li's kung fu is strong and that his master is even better. In a way Bruce Lee:The Invincible (Awkward title) is one of those martial arts movies that is often considered Bruceploitation but it's really not this movie's fault. The plot has nothing to do with Bruce Lee and it works as a stand alone flick. The fight sequences are also well staged and happen frequent enough to make this entertaining on the level its intended. Also of note is the fantasy and ambition The Invincible buys into, mainly how Bruce Li fights off apes (Men in gorilla suits) and it buys into a mythology that makes this as appealing as old school martial arts movies get. Also the film is a great guilty pleasure as it tries very hard to provide the martial arts action and although I'd usually take points off for quality, the truth is, is that The Invincible is as well made as these things get and is fairly enjoyable in a campy and mindless way. Also given that you can buy this for a buck, this remains one of the best DVDs to buy for one dollar. Not a perfect movie by any means, but certainly a very entertaining one.

        I like That!

        I like this movie because it was my the best favorite film when i was little boy! i learn very technique from movie! i like this movie now and will like! although movie has some funny fighting for example : fight against gorilla!! but one thing is interest for me that "teacher" in movie was very "weak man" in compare other characters! any way i like this movie and request yo that see that film! scene of film are beautiful,jungles and .... i think using "Bruce lee" name in not good for movie!"Bruce lee" was a great man in martial arts films! in movie technique are good and actors do it very good!movie have a sex part that i think has not related to movie

        more imaginative than the real thing

        Bruce Lee lookalike vehicles often get a lot of stick from fans.While it is true that too many suck,some of them (like this) are truer in flavour to the world of kung fu fantasy than the watered down movies Lee starred in.Why on earth do we need another DVD update of the over-screened ENTER THE DRAGON when someone could be releasing this obscurity. Then more people could enjoy (as i did) the sight of Bruce Li fighting gorillas (men in monkey suits) with glowing red e

        God awful

        Saw this movie a couple of years back , and it was so bad, I literally threw it out. There is NO story some guy fights some bad guys, chases a girl, and fights men in gorilla suits. YUCK!! The movie sucks!! Its worth a rent only if you want to laugh AT it! Contains:Nudity, and mild violence.

        Standard of its era

        I wonder if Bruce Lee's widow and kids ever got any cash from the various people in Hong Kong who made movies that had "Bruce Lee" in the title (like this one) or characters that were supposed to be Bruce Lee. Probably not. Anyway, despite the title, there's no one named "Bruce Lee" in the movie, but we've got a look-alike actor. If you ever had a TV channel in your city that used to broadcast kung fu cinema, you can probably guess for the most part what this is like. The fights are pretty unmemorable, just about every scene takes place out in the countryside, and the story is drawn-out and flat. There are a few inspired bits of nuttiness, like how the setting seems to be a cross between the 19th and 20th century, and that encounter with gorillas a few other IMDb posters have already commented on. But aside from that, the movie's another good example of why the kung-fu craze died in the U.S. not long after its introduction, and didn't get revamped until the slicker and more energetic fight sequences that started appearing in Hong Kong movies of the '80s.

          Chu-San: Guess so. But still, I have to check with my friend, see what he thinks.

          Chan Sung: Hm, and where's this friend?

          Chu-San: [raises his fist] He's here. He says no!
