The information on some of these films is rather hard to find and sometime you find conflicting info. The box for this movie has pictures of Bruce Li on it, but the movie is starring Bruce Le, go figure. The title can quite decieving as it has nothing to really do with Bruce Lee. Although the Bruce Le character first name is Bruce, and his last name also happens to be Lee. Kien Shih, the bad guy from "Enter the Dragon" appears as Master Kim. And the hightlight of the movie is that Bruce Le is the martial arts director, its not a highlight I'm just kidding.
On most of the movie reviews I'll try to give a summary, or tell what happened in the movie. In this case it's kinda hard since the seems to be no plot at all. I think the script must have been written on a napkin and on the first day of filming after dim sum somebody wiped their mouth on it, so the they made up the film as they went.
It starts out with Bruce's parents on a boat and Bruce is an infant. A meteor passes by and some old guy says it's a bad omen for their baby son. Add in some flashes of pictures of Bruce Lee, and we are supposed to believe he's Bruce or something. That's everything that relates to Bruce Lee.
At the start Bruce is walking down a road a gets attacked by some guy, and gets beat up. His dad says his kung fu sucks and send him to Master Yeh to learn some Wing Chun. He puts on his Sunday best and combs his hair. Later on his way to school some bullies try to force some girl to smoke, but Bruce breaks it up, but gets his skinny ass knocked to the ground. Bruce shows up in class and beats the bullies with a stick and gets sent to the principal who spanks him with a ruler.
Bruce hangs out with his two buddies. The one guy is big and retarded looking and the other guy, Ah Choi, is small and sorta resembles a monkey. Later the retarded guy gets beat up by a blind guy, and Bruce tries to help him, but also gets beat up. Master Yeh teaches him him some more Wing Chun and tries to teach him blind folded boxing, but Bruce sucks at it.
Bruce meets a snake fist master who invities him to his gym sometime. Now some bad guys set up a trap for Bruce and his buddies, I'm not sure, but I guess it doesn't matter. Bruce fights some guys and then gets whupped on, alsso his pals get beat up. After being beaten Bruce is hung off a building.
Bruce goes to the snake fist guy for some help. The guy gives him some instruction and tells him to watch a snake to learn the movements. So Bruce goes and hangs out with some snakes. One bites him...hahahaha. Anyway Bruce grabs this snake and pours wine down its throat, and then Bruce drinks the rest. Why? To learn drunken snake style!
Bruce learns from his retarded friend that his other friend Ah Choi is now dead from injuries sustained in a previous fight. While eating some lunch Bruce is attacked by Bolo Yeung and some guys. Bruce kicks their ass and they run away. Bruce beats up some more guys at some place.
Master Kim wants Bruce because Bruce beat up his son, who hasn't recovered. We are told this, but I'm not sure we actually see Bruce fight Kim's son. So Kim sends out a henchmen to fight Bruce and Bruce kills him. Kim sends another henchmen and Bruce takes care of him too. If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself, so Kim goes after Bruce. They start fighting and Bruce gets a couple blows to the head and stumbles around all dizzy. He remembers his drunken snake fist, and defeats Kim with it. After the fight the two have mutual respect for each other's skill, and are friends. We could all learn a lesson from those two.
One funny moment in the movie is when Bruce and his two dumb looking friends are out cruising the street, but they got no money. Bruce comes up with an idea! Bruce makes a bet that he can grab an orange away before this guy can stab it. Bruce makes the bet for 10 cents! What the hell can you buy for 10 cents?! This movie was made in 1980, not 1880. Of course Bruce got the orange and won the bet, so the guy had to pay up. Sucka!
