        Don't waste more than $5 here.

        In fact, don't waste more than $3. The movie is typical low-budget Kung-Fu, and contains one of the worst scenes ever, featuring a very very very VERY poor costumed person, fighting the main character.

        Contains nudity. To say that it contains mild violence is like saying, "dogs have two eyes."

        If you love to watch cheesy, old, low-budget Kung-Fu movies, then this is worth a watch, but don't spend a lot of your hard-earned money on it. Bruce Li has done several "Bruce Lee knock-off" and "Bruce Lee tribute" films, and anything from before the 80's is low-budget cheesy-Kung-Fu movie-gold. (Most of the older stuff was Bruce Lee knock-offs - newer stuff was more tributes)

        Bruce Li gives a good beating

        Another one of those movies which is sooo bad its good. I few beers and a few friends makes this movie a masterpiece. I know your saying damn this guy is on crack but if you've seen as many b movies as me then you'll appreciate the better ones. It's jam packed loaded with fights every 2 minutes. Some of the fights are above average and some are just basic. One thing to look forward to in this movie though is the gorilla fight. Why ? Well for one thing these animals sure know how to fight and take a good beating. This is honestly one of Bruce Li's best films and if you love Bruce Li like me over dragon lee and bruce le then you'll appreciate this film as much as me. Enjoy!

        Action-filled kung fu movie with lost plot...

        1st watched 3/30/2003 - 3 out of 10(Dir-Law Kai Shuk): Action-filled kung fu movie with lost plot. The kung fu sequences aren't bad in this movie but that's about all you get in this `Bruce Li', not Bruce Lee, camouflaged kung fu movie. This is one of the many attempts to make money off of Bruce Lee without him being a part of the movie. I'm amazed that this was able to be done so often with him but this just shows his major appeal in this genre. Anyway, the movie, in it's plot is confusing so I won't even attempt to make heads or tales out of that. There's a bad guy, a good guy, and a lot of fighting. This is what I mean by `lost plot.' And what's worse is sometimes hard to pin-point who's the bad guy and who's the good guy during the movie. I hate it when this happening. Pass this one up if you're looking for something interesting in the kung fu genre.

        Could almost be considered an okay film, if not for the guys in gorilla suits

        In the early twentieth century, a local no-good (Michael Chan) is banished from Shanghai and relocates to Malaysia, where he promises to mend his ways. He doesn't, of course, which necessitates a visit from the righteous Master Fok (Chen Sing)--better known as Huo Yuanjia--and his senior pupil (Bruce Lee imitator Bruce Li) to remind the exiled villain that there are no second chances. This low-budget prequel to the Bruce Lee classic "Fist of Fury" (aka "The Chinese Connection") almost works; the fight scenes are competent if not awe-inspiring, and the cast is full of Hong Kong screen veterans. But the viewer cannot take seriously what the filmmakers refuse to take seriously themselves, and when two very undernourished, upright-walking gorillas emerge as opponents for Bruce Li (whose acting and fighting skills should have landed him a decent role every now and then), it comes as little wonder that he never transcended the ghetto of Bruceploitation.

        Tolerable if you're just looking for some martial arts action and aren't too fussy about the surrounding story. Otherwise, hard pass.

        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

        • Trivia
          Originally titled in the worldwide English-dub releases as "Bruce Li the Invincible Chinatown Connection". In order to boost up more copy sales, the title was later shortened to simply "The Invincible" with the titular name changed to "Bruce Lee".
        • Goofs
          During the fight with the gorilla, you can see the actor in the gorilla costume's neck for a brief moment.

          Pau-Bo: Well now. You dare to come here, dare to oppose us. You forget the girl. You're gonna get hurt, ah, you got that?

          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!

          Chan Sung: Get him!
