Full review
The first Bruce Lee film, some say the best, but I disagree. For a 1970's Hong Kong film, it boasts a strong plotline, but this may still leave western audiences wanting more when compared to modern day features. The film has had many edits and cuts over the years, the most famous being the 'saw in the head' scene; one of the frequent gore scenes to which Hong Kong audiences were accustomed, but were too shocking to be included in home releases, especially in the 1970's. Hong Kong Legends has re-mastered the film in a new DVD, which I would recommend to all action fans, strongly recommend to martial arts fans, and deem indispensible for the serious Bruce Lee fan.
