Bruce Li returns yet again to do his utmost best to tarnish the memory of his idol Bruce Lee . This time Bruce is an Interpol agent posing as of all things an electronics repairman in Hong Kong. I'm still not sure what his mission is , but he changes his clothes at every opportunity (often in the middle of a scene ) , and always appears to be concerned about his boss' dental welfare. Of course he also gets the girl , and manages to fit in a number of drawn out fight scenes against both skilled martial artists , and guys who are so laboured that they are obviously hastily recruited production assistants.

Bruce's slapdash direction makes Ed Wood look like Martin Scorcese. There are that many scenes where absolutely no one is in frame ( and this isn't a result of the pan and scan transfer), and the editing is also particularly poor. Some of the dialog is appallingly bad , and provides most of the laughs here. In one scene , Bruce has just killed an intruder hiding in his girlfriends closet , and says to her " I'm gonna take a look around ..... something may be wrong here". Well no duh Bruce.

The overdubbed voices are some of the funniest I've heard in a while. Most of the asians have the usual Michael Caine , or John Wayne style voices , but the one white guy in it ( who wears a ridiculous looking blonde wig ) has an asian accent ! The music as usual rips off popular themes from Hollywood productions of the time , and the fashions some of these guys are wearing aren't likely to make anyone miss the seventies much. Keep your eyes peeled for a guy who tells Bruce to meet him at the rubbish dump..... he looks just like a Chinese version of George Eastman.

This movie also offers a few handy home security tips .... who needs alarms when you can have 500 kg logs , and sharpened pitchforks dropping from trees onto intruders ? Very handy for keeping those pesky mormons at bay . This was boring at times , but had inane dialog , bad fashions , unintentional humour , and bad continuity to die for.... but is perhaps still a total waste of one and a half hours of your life. For Bruce rip-off fans only.
