He [Lee] is decidedly an eye-catching figure as he takes on all comers, singly or in whimpering groups, in stylized, Karate-like bouts with swift, balletic moves, baleful stares, deadly flying fists and legs and, of course, all the necessary eerie shouts.

the violence is a mix of the realistic and the fantastical, with Lee's intense physicality giving the film an undeniable presence that also leaves room for Wei's preference for hyper-stylized action that defies the laws of physics

Dated Bruce Lee classic has violence, weapons, racist slurs.

Bad dubbing and poorer sound effects negatively boost the downtime between skirmishes.

Major disagreements between star and director led to their irrevocable dissolution as collaborators. The tension is palpable in the final product, which suffers from lagging narrative energy and a variety of clichés

Jun 06, 2013Hands down the best Lo/Lee collaboration; there are technical and choreography improvements all over the place and unlike <i>Tang shan da xiong</i> (1971), this was intended to be a serious film with still some unbelievable moments to showcase Bruce Lee's extraordinary abilities. Unfortunately, it suffered from its own anti-Japanese undertones. Today, however, it is difficult to judge the original intentions. 97/100Edgar C Super Reviewer

Nov 01, 2010I have to say up front, just so you know, that I've never been a strong Bruce Lee fan. The reason why I went back to watch this was because I enjoyed the Jet Li remake, <i>FIst of Legend,</i> so much when I saw it recently. While this one is definitely good to see, so you can say you've seen it, there is no comparison, for me, with <i>Fist of Legend</I>. The latter is a better scripted story, a better directed movie, and Jet Li is the better actor. As far a martial arts style goes, I think they are both equally talented, but Li has definitely emerged over time as the more talented actor.Lanning : Super Reviewer

Nov 30, 2008This Bruce Lee classic is continuously entertaining, though cheesy at times due to its dated quality.Andrew F Super Reviewer
