Gangster Sammy has got a problem: When he was supposed to deliver some
diamonds, he was knocked out, the guy he was supposed to deliver the
diamonds was killed - and the diamonds, well, they were gone. Now Sammy's
boss thinks Sammy has stolen the diamonds and puts a contract out on him.
So Sammy calls his friends for help, George, Min Yan, and two guys called
Dragon who are constantly confused for one another for no apparent reason
other than tht they both desperately try to mimic Bruce Lee. Soon, it
becomes clear that Sammy has been framed by one of his boss's associates,
Kao Fei, and sammy can even convince Shih Tung of his innocence - but too
late, Kao Fei soon puts a plan into action to kill Shih Tung, and
furthermore, he has one of the Dragon's and Min Yan's sister Katie
kidnapped. Sammy, George, Min Yan and the other Dragon are soon on their
way to save the two, but on their way, George is killed and Sammy is
crippled by Bolo (Bolo Yeung). Min Yan and the other Dragon free Katie and
the kidnapped Dragon though, take care of Bolo, then try to defeat Kao Fei
- but he's a master martial artist, and he ultimately kills Dragon. Enter
Dragon's brother Bruce (Dragon Lee), who has been trailing his brother all
through the film, and who now beats Kao Fei to a pulp. One of
these bruceploitation flicks that's so bad that it's above all else
extremely funny: The inclusion of not one but three Bruce Lee-imitators
for no apparent reason is almost hilarious, the film's narrative is so
disjointed and shifting in mood that it suggests it's actually edited down
from (at least) two movies, the plot as such is so silly it seems to shout
out "hey, what do you need a story for if you've got Bruce
Lee-impersonators", and on a directorial level, nobody seems to have
cared too much to make sense of it all. That all said, while the film is
funny, it's not exactly a laugh riot, there are way too many extended and
mediocre old-school fight scenes to create pure excitement - but still, if
you're a trash movie lover, you'll probably like this one.
