| Bruce Li (the clone) has no respect for Bruce Lee. Wasn't the first Bruce Lee good enough? Well this film didn't have too much Bruce Li elements in it. I would have to say this film is "Drunken Master" and "Big Boss" blended in a blender. Simon Yuen or Yuen Siu Tin is a cool old guy (well actually he is a cool dead guy) but he plays the same old guy that is good at kung fu. His character can only flow with Jackie's characters. This film starts off with Yeh Chen Lung (Bruce Li) who is bad at kung fu that gets beat up, finds a master, then beats the guy he wanted revenge on, then there is a master that is better than them (meaning Yeh Chen Lung and the old master) from old master's past. Obviously, the ending is like all old kung fu films and that's all I'll tell you. I don't hate old school kung fu movies, but when you repeat characters and try to profit off a dead guy who has inspired so many and contributed so much to the martial arts world, then you see just an imitation and cry for greedy money (this doesn't mean every one of the people who made the movie are greedy). If you're just in for the fights then don't bother, the fights are very slow and they just flip around and use the same arm techniques with their elbow.
