Guest mpm74 Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Wow. Just re-watched Iron Dragon Strikes Back, and damn, i like it even more this time around. A really good film. Bruce Li's best. Even as a movie, it's just good. I think the only ones who would dislike this film are people who think Chinese Connection 2 is a great Bruce Li flick.

Guest Chinatown Kid Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Have you seen The Lama Avenger aka The Three Avengers? If you haven't I'd recommend seeing it, Ho, Chien Yuet Sun and Micheal Winston have a bad ass battle with Lee Hoi Sang in the finale. One of my favorites!

Guest morgoth Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I didn't think Return of the Tiger was a great movie, but the last 15 minutes are a ton of fun. And those fights in Lung Fei's dojo were awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chinatown Kid Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Never did like Return of the Tiger or Exit the Dragon/Enter the Tiger because the fight choreography was subpar and it was before Li matured in his screen fighting skills and got much better. I prefer his fight skills starting with The Man, the Myth in 1976 onward. His pre 76 stuff is pretty bad imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest morgoth Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Hey C-town kid, chek out the fight in the dojo in Return of teh Tiger again. Wong Chi Sang and others go at it hard! There is some great choreography going on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mpm74 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Okay, so what are the QUALITY Bruce Li flicks? - Bruce Lee The Man The Myth - The Chinese Stuntman - Iron Dragon Strikes Back Anything else?? I'm talking about films that are ONLY as quality as the ones above. Help me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest morgoth Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Return of the Tiger is definitely worth a watch IMO. I only give it a 5/10, but it is still a ton of fun, I also liked Chinese Connection 2. I have heard that Lama Avenger is really good. And if you have not seen The Man, The Myth, then DO NOT watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chan Wah Shun Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 -The Man, the Myth was good. It was leaps and bounds over every Bruce Lee biopic before or since (though still highly fictionalized), and though Ho himself did not care for the action, it was some very good stuff, imo. -I also really enjoyed Bruce and the Iron Hand, though Liang outshines Ho in this flick. -I also really like Bruce Lee in New Guinea, not only for the cheese and sleeze, but because Ho looked on the top of his game in it.

Guest mpm74 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Where can I get Bruce and the Iron Hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yakuza954 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I believe his best 3 are The Lama Avenger, Chinese Stuntman, and the Iron Dragon Strikes Back. Bruce and The Iron Hand is almost at this level, but slightly misses the cut because Liang outshines Li and the end fight isn't as good as it should have been.

Guest morgoth Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 If I was 5 years old when I saw The Man The Myth I may have liked it. That is one of those movies that hurts to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chinatown Kid Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Beside the ones already mentioned, I also like Li in Dynamo and Soul Brothers of Kung Fu and think they are worth seeing as well. Morgoth it's been a while since I watched Return of the Tiger but since you rate that Dojo fight in it so highly I'll have to check it out again soon.

Guest Yakuza954 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 About Bruce and The Iron hand, I know Vengeance Video was going to release it but I'm not sure if they have yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chinatown Kid Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I sure hope they do release it, the version I got from FLR is pretty crappy quality. Bruce and the Iron Hand is a pretty good flick and features some nice action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Cognoscente Posted June 25, 2022 Member Share Posted June 25, 2022 I like Iron Dragon Strikes Back. It reminds me of Back to the Future because of how a TV news report in the first scene establishes the premise while eluding the attention of the protagonist. Both protagonists eventually find out (about the gold and plutonium respectively) but they only know the full extent of the trouble when it’s too late. One of the things that I like about IDSB is that while it’s not Bruceploitation in the imitative sense, it pays respect to Bruce Lee by showcasing a poster of him in Enter the Dragon. How this is achieved is all the more endearing. Ah Chiang is fighting for his life in his girlfriend’s apartment when a thug kicks a wardrobe that slides across the floor to reveal the poster. What’s impressive is that Ah Chiang doesn’t use the steel-framed poster to attack the thugs like he did with one of his paintings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
