As if that wasn't enough, there are underground factories and a white cat which the chief villain strokes. The film concerns a young secret agent who has to secretly infiltrate a cruel dictator's island retreat and discover his terrible secrets. This cult classic adventure plays like James Bond with martial arts - which is exactly what it is, and rather blatantly so. Like the real life Lee, he spoke with a bit of an Elmer Fudd accent. I particularly liked the names given to some of the marital artists in the parody as well as voice they used for the Lee-wannabe. The last third or so of this AIRPLANE-style film is a knockoff of ENTER THE DRAGON and is very, very funny and insightful. Women, on the other hand, may not go for all this machismo and action and they might actually complain that the film has got an incredibly silly plot (which, of course, it has)! If you want to see a funny parody of this movie, try watching KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE. All you really need to know is that the film is totally cool and most guys will probably love it. However, the film has great action and Han's real purpose for this island fortress is eventually revealed. No with cooler fake hands! Who is killed and what exactly occurs is something you'll just have to find out for yourself-I just don't want to reveal too many secrets. In addition, he is ruthless in his dealings with his underlings-actually having several killed in front of his guests who are there for the tournament! From this point on, it's pretty obvious Han is basically Dr. Later, you learn that Han has really bizarre detachable hands-ranging from claws to iron fists to knives. Once on the island, everything seems relatively normal at first. So, in this case, Lee is a spy sent to infiltrate Han's tournament-where the greatest martial artists and John Saxon are invited to his island fortress to compete. No or Blowfeld!! In so many, many ways, this film is like a morphing of these James Bond films with a traditional martial arts film. It seems that Han has forgotten the good teachings of the school and is now sort of like a kung-fu version of Dr.
His master comes to him to ask him to embark on a secret mission to stop a renegade member of their school-the evil Han. The film begins at a Shaolin temple where Bruce Lee is a kung-fu teacher. It is the "Rolls Royce" of kung-fu movies-even though the story is at times very silly! My advice is that instead of turning the film off because of its many bizarre and Austin Powers-like plot devices, just turn your brain to the neutral position and take it all in without thinking!! Otherwise, if you think too much about what's going on, your head just might explode! Don't believe me? Well read on. No other film he did came even close to it in production values, plot, music, supporting characters or action. This film is the best of all the Bruce Lee films-period.
