Member Killer Meteor Posted July 18, 2011 Member Share Posted July 18, 2011 This is probably one of Dragon Lee's most tolerable movies, probably because it's not dubbed by Vaughan Savidge! In general, the few co-productions Lee worked on are ok, as they tend to feature slightly (I stress slightly) better production values, better casts, MUCH better sound FX, and well, the plots are at least about something important. This film is about the reisistance against the Japanese, GOLDEN DRAGON, SILVER SNAKE is about a flippin farm!!! Interestingly, on the English dub anyway, two clips from LAST FIST OF FURY and CLONES OF BRUCE LEE are spliced in, including the music (Gonna Fly Now!!!) and sound FX from those two productions. This would carry over into the Asso Asia acquired Dragon Lee movies. Besides Ko Fei, Bolo, Cheung Nik and To Wai Bo (I think?), the vast majority of the cast seems to be Korean. Very little attempt is made at making this actually look like China - a lot of the actresses wear those terrible Korean dresses that suggest an abnormally large pregnancy.

Member CaldoTheKid Posted April 29, 2023 Member Share Posted April 29, 2023 Always loved that movie even if it feels more like a Fist Of Fury sequel than The Big Boss due to the Chinese vs Japanese storyline. Also hilarious to see Bolo with a Hitler moustache. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK DVD is 4:3 and little or no pan'scan, so lots of shots of nothing but the wall! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
