Daniel Son and Mr Miyagi in the Karate Kid!

Advantages: Superb film
Disadvantages: Nothing

...with myself for sleeping till the afternoon on a sunny day, i decided to go for a walk in the sunshine around town. I had decided that morning that i was going to have a barbaque, few beers, couple of mates round, bit of music and a DVD. So i had the Barbaque, music, beers etc but nothing new to watch on DVD. So armed with £3 i started my search for a DVD that would be pleasing to everyones eyes. I came across a non-commercialised store that sold ...
...floor 3 and started in the A sections After literally 30 seconds a beam of light caught my eye, like when someone shines their watch in your face on a summers day, but no one else was there. How strange i thought, so i thought nothing of it and carried on with my search for that perfect DVD. 10 seconds later it happend again, so being curious i followed this beam of light, past the A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I and J section on the come across a shiny ...

Tung Lung, Honours Bruce's death

Advantages: Excellent martial arts, from Tung Lung
Disadvantages: none

Game of Death 2 Staring Tung Lung, Huong Cheng-Li, Roy Horan, Lee Hoi-San and previously unseen footage of Bruce Lee. The film in many ways is similar to Fist of Fury 2 they are both about avenging the death of a brother. In this case Bobby Lo played by Tung Lung set out to get revenge for the death of Billy Lo (Bruce Lee) at the hands of Jim Koo (Huong Cheng-Li). This film has a lot less American influence than Game of Death , which ...
...and fighting scenes than a well thought out story Probably the best Bruce Lee film ever made, even though Bruce Lee is not actually in it. Made with previously unseen footage of his films, a stand in and completed with the classic poorly dubbed English lame dialogue and amazing Kung Fu. When Billy Lo (Bruce Lee) is killed at friend Jim Koo's funeral, brother Bobby Lo (Tong Lung) sets out to avenge his death. Bobby Lo sets off to Japan to meet ...
