What the box says:Martial arts legend Bruce Li sets off on the trail of the killer of two kung fu masters in this thrill-a-minute action extravaganza. His only clue is a mysterious pendant of the Buddha discovered at the scene of the crime and the fact that the two were killed by the deadly Fatal Finger technique. Will Bruce's super kicks be powerful enough to vanquish this mighty foe?


What I say about the box:Ahh yes, the Fatal Finger technique. Sure it doesn't sound too exciting, but connoisseurs of cheesy martial arts movies would pick up on that right away. On the other hand, Bruce's super kicks don't sound too interesting. Once you've seen one super kick, you've seen them all.


My review:I will start off by explaining why this movie is rated z (worse than a B movie). First of all, the movie stars a Bruce Lee impersonator. So main character originality is minus one point. Next the film was made in the 1970's and is dubbed in terribly goofy voices. Add a poor quality extended play VHS tape to the mix and it becomes totally RATED Z. The story line is somewhat interesting and the action sequences are good. Many of the characters have their own technique for fighting, which keeps things interesting. Such as a friend of Bruce who is trained in pressure points on the human body. What is funny is that his attacks don't seem to work so well and he is basically poking his opponents with his fingers all of the time.

In Summary, Probably good for a laugh and to see some interesting martial arts.
