This was really Americas first real martial arts spectacular. But it isn't down to the script or directing. Both are pretty poor.
Its down to four things. Jim Kelly. John Saxon. Shih Kien. Bolo Leung.
And a fifth thing, of course, Bruce Lee.
As far as production values go its Bruce Lees best. But film wise its no where near as good as say Fist of Fury. The film is however his most easily accessible. It also as a great theme tune and amazing fight scenes. The most fun you can have however, is looking for later Hong Kong superstars in early appearances. Including Yuen Wah, Sammo Hung and of course Jackie Chan.
After years of being heavily censored in the UK we can finally see it uncut. And its worth it.
Still good after all these years...
