Genre: Action
Directed by: Robert Clouse
Cast: Bruce Lee, Gig Young, Dean Jagger
Running Time: 100 minutes
Billy Lo is a martial
arts movie star who finds himself in the crosshairs of the underworld. After a
failed murder attempt on his person, Billy fakes his own death for a while to
plot his revenge on the criminals who tried to kill him.
Bruce Lee started shooting
the fight scenes for this film in 1972, but stopped to work on Enter the Dragon.
The actor died before he could return to it. Robert Clouse completed the film,
using stand-ins and even a cardboard cut-out. The original fight scenes are
awesome and some of the action is good, but the whole thing feels like an
exploitation of Lee’s death. Not a totally bad film in itself, but not great
either.
