Rating: Summary: DRAGON LEE'S MASTERPIECE Review: CLASSIC! All star cast. Dragon Lee (Bruce Lei), Bruce Lea, Bruce Li, Samuel Walls. Get this at all costs.
Rating: Summary: Dragon on Fire Review: I am a big fan and collect martial art movies. I first saw this movie in New York around 1980 or 1981. I saw this movie about 5 times. Phillip (Kao Fei) is the baddest bad guy EVER! He is the best in every movie he's in even on the asian soap operas I tune in. John Liu is amazing. Those 2 put on the best end of the film action EVER! I had to buy this movie for my collection and I still watch it at least 2 or 3 times a week and sometimes I skip to the end just to see Phillip and John. This is a classic movie. I wish they would restore it fully uncut and put it on DVD. I'd be the first in line to buy it. (Now if they could just delete Dragon Lee from it the better) Sorry Dragon Lee too much emphasism on Bruce Lee. Let the man rest in peace.

Rating: Summary: Good Fighting but very bad story line Review: I purchased this video because of all the credit it recieved in the review section. But, when I watched it I was saying, "What the hell is going on?". The movie brought in characters with out providing a introduction, and it jumps from scene to scene. I have to admit the fighting scenes where good, especially the awesome leg fighter. But due to the lack of a developed story, which leaves you in confusion, I found this movie a little bit boring. Although, if you just like to watch fight scenes, I recommend it because there is a ton of them!
Rating: Summary: Don't confuse this. Review: I'm not sure why people have given this film such good reviews. Maybe it's one of the reasons why I disliked it even more. I was expecting a film with great fighting, even without the good storyline, but I was very disappointed. My main beef with this film is the way Godfrey Ho manipulates the speed of the fighting sequences. I think he should have just undercranked to make it look like they were fighting faster. Instead, he snips out frames, so for example, at one second, a guys hands at his waist, while in the next instance it's above his head! Not to mention the fact that the coreography itself isn't memorable. Philip Ko is a great fighter (at least, he is in other films I've seen, like 'Tiger Over Wall'), but boy is wasted in this film. Tino Wong and John Liu are also not impressive in this film. And what's up with Dragon Lee? His character goes around making bruce lee faces and manneurisms, but what is the point of his character? I guess one interesting fact about this film is that it features some 'voodoo kung fu', which would become a popular genre during the early 80's. If you really are curious about this film, I'd suggest getting it as a cheapie in that 'Dragon Lee' set by BCI Eclipse/Brentwood. At least, if you dislike it, you won't have wasted your money, and if you really liked it, you'd feel satisfied about getting your money's worth and more.

Rating: Summary: excellent Review: If you like fast and furious kung-fu, you'll love this movie as much as I do. It seems that all the Dolemite Shaolin Collection movies have fast kung-fu. I bought 5, and all of them have fast kung-fu. It has great sound effects and the fight choreography is 2nd to none. You gotta see it for yourself...
Rating: Summary: The BEST action film ever made Review: Sit down Segal, Chan, and Norris, all hail Phillip Kao. This movie is fast paced, action packed. The fighting scenes literally had me out of my seat. I watch this movie once a day and still get excited. "YOU MUST SEE THIS MOVIE."
Rating: Summary: Don't confuse this. Review: This is NOT the movie staaring Dragon Lee. This is another movie and Dragon Lee is not the main character.
Rating: Summary: The Best Kung-Fu Movie I have ever seen Review: This is the Best Kung-fu Movie I have ever seen to come from hong Kong ,it is a shame that it is not on "DVD". That is a hope for the Future. Phillip Kuo(MA-Tee) and John Liu( The Wanderer) put on an Exhibtion of Entertaining Kung-fu I saw this movie 7 times when it Originally came to the Theathers in New York 42nd St. I did not see it again until 14yrs later and it still gives me the same sensation that it did in 84. The only Bad thing about the Movie is that Dragon(no Talent )Lee Is one of the stars, other than that,Every fan of Hong Kong Kung-fu Movies should own a copy of this .
