Yong chun jie quan (1977)
Yang chun da xiong or 'Story of a Dragon' is something of a classic of its genre.
This film should be examined in the context of its time and the cinematic genre to which it belongs. Whether or not it adds to or detracts from the name of Bruce Lee (an irrelevant consideration), it is a fine example of 1970s Taiwan produced martial arts entertainment. Ho Chung-Tao, who actually hated the appellation "Bruce Li" was a superb athlete and accomplished martial artist in his own right. The western members of the cast were all highly trained martial artists themselves: Phil Cohen was a student of Bruce Lee in the US, Roy Horan qualified in Shorinji Kempo, Alan Ellerton expert in White Crane, Xingyi and Tai Chi, Greg Talovic a Taekwondo instructor. Thus the fight scenes were perfectly acceptable and not as unrealistic as in some films. For martial arts movie aficionados, this film is a real classic.
