It's worth catching this schlock art film to see Lee play a 007-type super-agent, who is an expert in kung-fu.

Presents a powerful, kinetic ballet by a martial arts master at the peak of his form--just try looking away from him.

Rising popularity of the Chinese martial arts as screen entertainment climaxes in fine crescendo in this violence-drenched actioner.

Top Critic Ripping entertainment overall, with just enough meat for amateur sociologists.

High karate and low kitsch ... Forget the dopey James Bond plot and train your eyes, little grasshopper, on Lee as he takes on army of henchmen, demonstrating his revolutionary kung-fu moves and a fire-breathing squint.

Worth seeing for Lee, but still unforgivably wasteful of his talents.

On an adventure level, the performances are quite good. The one by Mr. Lee, not only the picture's supermaster killer but a fine actor as well, is downright fascinating.

Top Critic It's easy to see why Lee was -- and still is -- such a big star. He had a charm and charisma that few have. The camera loved him. He had that special undefinable quality that James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Humphrey Bogart and a few others have.

Sit back and marvel at the Master; you won't find a better showcase for his skills.
