EDITOR’S NOTE: As the journey through Cannon continues, this week we’re exploring the films of 21st Century Film Corporation, which would be the company that Menahem Golan would take over after Cannon. Formed by Tom Ward and Art Schweitzer in 1971 (or 1976, there are some disputed expert opinions), 21st Century had a great logo and released some wild stuff.

Directed by Darve Lau and star Bruce Le, this true story — you know how much I love those — was made seven years after the death of its inspiration. We learn that an astronomer saw a meteor and told Bruce’s parents that their son would be an incredible person who would do extraordinary things.

For his younger years, the prophecy foretells that those amazing acts are mostly fist fights, staring at sex workers who flash him through the windows of their brothel and helping voyeurs watch people make love. He upsets someone so much that they hang him outside his apartment and that failure makes him settle down and become the fighting force that we all know, but first, he has to get some snakes drunk and fight them.

This also gets meta. as two of the actors who played Bruce Lee’s movie villains, Kien Shih (Master Han!) and Bolo Yeung, show up as fictional bad guys who have issues with the movie Bruce. Master Kim, as the main villain is known, keeps bringing in people to fight Bruce, who mostly does snake fist style instead of JKD.

This movie also wants to be a silly post-Drunken Master film and even one of the fights that costs Bruce’s friend his life is wacky until, well, his friend gets erased. It feels a little bit all over the place, but I’m here for jumping kicks and not an actual story. That means that this delivers.
