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
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.
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.
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.
My friend, Jacob, gave this movie to me for Christmas one year. I opened the paper and said out loud, "What the hell is this?" I later popped the movie in and discovered I had one of my favorite comedies in the VCR. This movie is so unintentionally hilarious. The men in monkey suits, the completely awful dubbing, the doofus characters, and let's not mention the possibility of incest in the plot that is treated as some sweet love story. When I have had a lousy day of shoveling yak vomit and listening to Barry Manilow songs in MIDI form at the local supermarket, I pop this dud in and laugh until I puke like the yak. When are they going to release this steaming pile of humorous fake gorilla dung on DVD? I want it. I will definitely purchase it at my local Big Lots before I will buy the 3-disc Platinum Ultimate Crappy Edition of Pearl Harbor. Hi-yah!

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!
