Sinewy, sleek, and oozing charisma, Bruce Lee brought sex appeal to the martial arts genre, dominating even the most cliché-riddled adventures with his mix of good-humored geniality and focused intensity. His first film, the low-budget Hong Kong adventure Fists of Fury (as it was titled in the U.S.), is exactly that: a raw, rough-edged revenge drama of a country boy who uncovers a heroin-smuggling ring. Yet the film comes alive when Lee pounces into action, his wiry, well-muscled frame erupting in lightning moves. His follow-up, The Chinese Connection, keeps the revenge theme going for a tale of a kung fu student who avenges his teacher's death at the hands of a Japanese rival. The international success of both films enabled the increasingly ambitious Lee to write and direct his own feature, Return of the Dragon, a more-comic tale of a Chinese country boy who travels to Rome to help out cousins under the thumb of local mobsters. Though filled with excellent martial arts bouts, all choreographed by Lee, the highlight is a death match between Lee and karate champion Chuck Norris in the Roman Colosseum. Lee died before completing his last feature, Game of Death, and a rather unconvincing double runs around much of the film between footage of the real Lee, but the climax features an impressive bout with basketball star and Lee student Kareem Abdul-Jabar. Though a cut above most martial arts movies of the period, these are no masterpieces, but then who watches a Bruce Lee film for the story? In these films, plot is simply there for the scenes between Lee's amazing fight sequences. The documentary Bruce Lee: The Legend completes the collection. --Sean AxmakerCustomer Reviews:

Great Kung Fu Fare on a "Saturn" Budget .......2005-08-23
AKA : "Scorching Sun, Fierce Winds, Wild Fire".......2004-01-21
This is a fun movie: it's got TONS of characters,
lots of fisticuffs, and several of my favorite
stars of the jade screen. Angela Mao stars the
martial bandit, Violet, a female robin-hood who is
actually the daughter of evil Warlord Tung.
Her male counterpart is played by Tien Peng, a
mysterious martial-type who is himself a rebel leader.
The villain, a deputy of Warlord Tung, is played
by the very capable Chang Yi. Now, topping off this
enticing platter of more-or-less mediocre fare, are
Tan Tao Liang and Lo Lieh!!! These guys are just
hysterical to watch together (sheesh, these two
have never been much in the humor department!)
These guys join the rebels of course and keep things
moving (once they show up, which is about 40 minutes
into the flick). This movie is more the mystery and
intrigue type than the more standard revenge plot.
For more info. on the story itself, do a search for
the original (and more colorful) title listed above.
Now, buy this flick! I rate it so highly because its
fun and quite cheap:), the way these old-skoolers
were meant to be.
