Pretty Good

Best movie ever!

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The acting in this movie is really good.

You don't expect a movie called "Image Of Bruce Lee" to be particularly well put together, and indeed it is not: the "plot" (which pits Bruce Li and his partner against a gang of counterfeiters (not exactly the most heinous of crimes)) is largely a collage of random fights, though there is one good twist concerning Dana, the sole female character (who is also not afraid of full frontal nudity!). The fights occur frequently enough, and they fall somewhere between the slower, more artificial style of the 1970s and the faster, more fluid style of the 1980s. Bruce Li is one of the most prolific of the Bruce Lee clones of the 1970s, and you can tell why - he knows his stuff. But this film, while not short on fighting, is rather forgettable. Bolo Yeung has a couple of fights as well but gets dispatched in the middle. *1/2 out of 4.

This film can be taken in two ways. First, it is indeed a "Bruce Clone" film, starring Bruce Li, the best of the Bruce Lee imitators. On that level, it can be enjoyed for the usual "swinging arms" chop-sock 'fu film nonsense we loved so well in the late 1970s.However, oddly enough, the cast and crew seem to be quite aware that their whole effort is blatantly absurd.Consequently, their are subtle but undeniable elements of self-parody in throughout the film. I will only describe the opening sequence: A man looking like a minor business executive is standing on a roof top, threatening to commit suicide. Bruce Li, dressed in the yellow-and-red gymnastic jump-suit long associated with Bruce Lee through publicity photos for his uncompleted last film (Game of Death) , climbs up five stories and jumps out to grab the exec by the arm. Unfortunately, it's a prosthetic arm. The force of the grab tears off the arm and inadvertently sends the exec five stories to his death. Bruce Li stands there looking at the prosthetic limb with an expression like, "hey, this never happened to the other guy!" Final underscore for this self-parody is when another character looks at Bruce Li and says: "Has anyone ever told you you look like Bruce Lee?" - Well, I'm not!" Bruce Li responds.This is all pretty much 'in-joke' stuff; to appreciate the humor of this film, one has to have seen all of the real Bruce Lee films, and a good many Bruce-Clone films as well. But I have, so I had a blast.

i have repeatedly watched this movie on German TV in the wee hours of the morning and much of my fascination for it derives from the absolutely preposterous dialogue that has been very possibly not only preserved, but even enhanced by the German translation | dubbing.exceptionally cheap production, non-existent acting and a script that never progressed past the storyboard | exposé stage are sure-shot ingredients for a cult classic of a) how not to do it if you want to shoot a serious movie. b) how to do it if you want to pay homage to the camp fun movies like »black belt jones« et al.all in all, two semi-undercover (they blow their cover themselves) cops and a sexy interpol agent attempt to infiltrate and bust a counterfeit organization-mass panic and third-rate fight sequences (but first-rate third-rate fight sequences) ensue! i highly recommend the movie to people who enjoy memorizing insane one-liners and share them with their friends and acquaintances in the worst possible moment. :) as an extra bonus to those that are into the eastern genre i should add that bolo yeung stars in the movie as well.good times.

Version: English dub In a movie that seemingly has nothing to with Bruce Lee, or his image, Bruce Li plays a cop who goes around beating people up, while trying trying to stop a counterfeit ring. Or something, I somehow managed to miss the important plot points (ok, there weren't any at all...).There's lots of swearing, and naked ladies, and violence - enough to get an R-rating. Surprisingly, my copy of the movie comes with a family friendly M-rating. I'll admit right now, that I don't why I'm reviewing this - there isn't much to say about it.Basically, the movie follows Bruce Li as he wanders around beating up bad guys, and follows Bolo Yeung as he wanders around beating up good guys. In fact, Li's character never takes his leather jacket off - either it gives him super-powers, or it is the secret to his kung-fu technique.Overall, its actually pretty funny, in a cheesy way - 4/10
