Bruce Li stars as a new police captain who gathers together a bunch of hardcore prisoners to help him take down a mobster who killed the last captain and is running the town with a deadly iron fist. Actually i'm not sure if Li is avenging the old captain because due to dubbing the main bad guy says "He's like all police captains, and we'll handle him the same way." which given the way people randomly attack Bruce Li, would indicate he killed the last one. I'm not 100% sure though. Speaking of which Deadly Strike doesn't actually have Bruce Le in it, especially the way that it was promoted. It's Bruce Li and I would assume Bruce Li was probably the most high profile of the Bruce Lee clones, so why the cover promises Bruce Le is anyone's guess. Still this movie features enough chop socky action to make this typical old school outing go down a lot easier. Once again Bruce Li has not a patch on the real Bruce Lee but he has his own screen presence and his martial arts moves are fairly fun to watch at times. What really hurts the movie (At least on a technical level) are the production values which are pretty bad. Once again though, it all comes down to whether or not this is your type of thing and being that anyone who sees the movie Deadly Strike promoted on video, knows whether you can gather enjoyment from such a title or not and as a bad movie junkie I found this to be fairly enjoyable as these things go.
