| Hands down the greatest kung fu movie of all time by the greatest kung fu star of all time. This classic is filled with everything a martial arts film fan could want,great action, great story, and of course the undying mastery of kung fu legend Bruce Lee.
The story begins when a shaolin monk(Lee)is sent to a mysterious island to uncover an opium ring operation while disguised as a participant in the evil lord Han's (Shih Kien)tournament. Also joining Lee are two other combatents known as Roper (John Saxon)and Williams (Jim Kelly). As Lee continues to gather information on the scandal he realizes the only way to win is in hardcore kung fu combat at its finest.
I gave this movie a five star [out of 5] rating mainly because of its large doses of fighting scenes and pure devotion to plot. It is without a doubt Bruce Lee's greatest film and displays his kung fu abilities at the peak of his career. |
