Not to be confused with the similarly titled BRUCE'S FISTS OF VENGEANCE (how is that for confusing?), this Manila shot action flick features Bruce Le as a martial arts instructor. His good friend Jack Lee (played by a guy named Jack Lee) is one of Bruce Lee's final students who owns...get this...Bruce Lee's Finger Technique Book! Of course, as all martial arts film aficionados know, if someone has this book then chances are someone evil is close behind trying to get it. The evil here comes in the form of the not so intimidating Miguel (Romano Kristoff), a rival martial arts instructor who fancies himself a tough guy. Bruce soon finds himself in a heap of trouble after Jack lets him borrow the book and Miguel's men come looking for it. In order to get what they want, the men follow movie villain conduct rule # 86 and kidnap Bruce's girl. Wrong move because Bruce has been studying! Look out!

Damn it! This movie is weak. Like most Bruce Le flicks, it features a dawdling pace until the end. Hell, if it weren't for the last 20 minutes, the film would be a bust all together. The ending, with Bruce attacking Miguel's hideout all by himself, features a few nice bits as Le fights a number of different opponents. Up until that point, the only thing positive about this movie is that you can laugh at it. Who will forget the scene where Miguel jumps up and down after defeating Bruce at a tournament? Or when Jack schools an obnoxious student by ripping off his pants? Or when Miguel's men torture Jack by putting his legs behind his head? Instead of watching the movie for those scenes, just look at the pictures below. Believe me, you are saving yourself some time.

Fans will most likely want to stay away from the version of this film on the DRAGON 4-PACK from Video Asia. Not only is the picture quality poor, but there is a sound problem. Initially the sound is out of sync for about 1 second, but as the film progresses it becomes more and more out of sync, resulting in sound effects arriving a full 2 seconds after the action.
