Exactly as bad as you would expect, 7 January 2005
4/10
Author: sarastro7 from Denmark

This movie really doesn't have much going for it. First of all, the kung fu in it is pretty bad all the way through. Second, the story literally doesn't get going until halfway into the movie. Third, the bad guys are some of the dullest I've ever seen. Fourth, a couple of the comic relief elements are too ridiculous even for a movie like this (esp. the guy with the Scottish accent who puts on a set of bull horns). Fifth, some scenes are so unintentionally bad that one has to laugh at them for being so embarrassing.

On the other hand, the movie doesn't have anything in it that is *really* terrible, either - at least not if you know what kind of movie you're dealing with. The story, while quite bad, is straight-forward. Dragon Lee himself is not too bad as a Bruce Lee clone (he looks a lot more like Jason Scott Lee, though). He's got the Bruce Lee facial mimicry down to a tee, but sometimes he overdoes it, making really weird little sounds.

Overall, this is a "4" out of 10 kind of movie, and not something you should waste your time on, unless it's for comical purposes (or if you're doing a treatise on Bruce Lee imitators...).
