DVD Description
After 20 years serving in the homicide squad, Flatfoot is thrown off the squad when his superiors don't believe him when he says he has found a ring of dealers pushing drugs at kids. Flatfoot decides to take action on his own against the pushers, relying solely on his fists to do the talking.
...(especially for Manga fans). But the DVD does have its moments particularly when the animation freezes to announce Kenshiro's fighting moves. Excellent Stuff. This DVD contains the Episodes 8-14 of the Series and can be viewed in both English Dub and the Original Japanese language. I would advise most people to watch it in English simply because the characters look "Western" and hence it sounds rather strange in Japanese (with English subtitles).
Finally one has to Buy this DVD for the Episode Titles Alone. For Example:
1:STRIKE THE HIDDEN POWER POINT! No Requiem For The Wicked
2:VILLIANS! Say Your Prayers Before You Die!
3:RAGING FLAME REVERSE FLOW PUNCH! There Are Too Many Who Must Die!
4:VILLIANS! Listen To The Blues Of Hell!
5:I AM DEATH! I Will Chase You To The Ends Of Hell!
6:THE ARHAT DEVA FIST! Once Unleashed, There's No Holding It Back...

Advantages: pretty good martial arts Disadvantages: it lacks Bruce Lee's, choreography
...Brother of Chen Chen (Bruce Lee), Chen Shan (Bruce Li) sets out to get revenge for death of his brother. As in Fist of Fury it is all about the Chinese against the Japanese. This film is made in similar style to Game of death 2 as in there is more fighting than anything else. In Fist of Fury 2 Bruce Lee had already been killed before the film started. In fact he was killed at the end of Fist of Fury by the Japanese council. Just as Bruce Lee avenged the death of his teacher, Bruce Li avenges the death of his brother. The film is literally non-stop action from beginning to the end. The fight scenes are on average longer than in Fist of Fury and the last fight with the samurai is more dramatic but Bruce Lee fights better.
Ps
Ignore ‘weak’ for special effects, there are not any....

Advantages: a must for anyones dvd collection Disadvantages: none
...A must see for any western movie fan "The duke" is brilliant as george wasington Mclintock and Maureen o hara as his estranged wife who returns after two years of being away.( who did most of her stunts herself) is fantastic and not forgetting the very young and lovely Stefanie Powers who plays G.W's daughter becky who is returning home from college with a banjo playing dancing admirer in tow. Of course Patrick wayne falls for becky as well and all hell breaks loose. The fight scene in the mud hole is super. Just watch out for the old fashioned spanking scene(s). This film has romance, comedy, fist fights,indians(who love whiskey) in it. Made by the batjac company (Waynes family buiseness run by waynes late son michael). Based on the story the taming of the shrew. a film you can watch again and again....
