"Bronson Lee"?, 8 June 2002
Author: Wizard-8 from Victoria, BC

I very much doubt that was the original title of this movie, especially since the main character reads a letter sent to him in the movie where his stated name is completely different! (The same name as the actor himself, I believe!)

Putting that all aside, this is a pretty dull and lifeless movie. The martial arts actually are more realistic, but their more casual pace does not make the movie the action-packed adventure it tries to be. I also suspect the movie was extensively cut before its U.S. release, seeing how the story is somewhat incomprehensible at times (the full-frame version also cuts off key action at the sides of the screen!), the running time is a skimpy 81 minutes, and that a key element of what happens to the villain seems to happen off-screen.

On the plus side, even though the story is hopelessly cliche, it's clear that this particular production, for once, didn't always take things seriously. Most of the comic relief is desperately unfunny, but it at least doesn't make things 100% predictable.
