I love the description for Nan yang tang ren jie on IMDB: “Fantastic fighting sequences mark this kung fu action film.”

No shit.

That said, despite its title, this has nothing to do with Bruce Lee at all.

Bruce Li is in it, sure, but he’s the sidekick!

Oh man, I love that this was released under a misleading name that caused me to watch it nearly half a century later.

Cheng (Michael Chan Wai Man) is kicked out of a martial arts school and sent back home to Malaysia where he claims he will change his ways. By change his ways, he means to become a crime lord and cuck every man he meets. The fighting teachers send their best fighers — including Bruce Li — to teach him how to behave and somehow, that involves fighting men dressed as apes and Native Americans. I have no idea what it means but who cares? Sometimes nothing has to make sense any more.

I do know that this has a karate man hit a gorilla so hard that its eyeball pops right out. That’s enough, in my world, to give this all the Oscars and cancel future awards shows.

All of them.

Cheng has taken a liking to Wai Sin and when he isn’t running a casino and yes, also sleeping with all of his men’s wives, he’s kidnapped her. That’s another reason for the Shaolin Temple fighters to visit, with one being her cousin and I guess cousins doesn’t mean anything to martial arts masters, unless incest is the 37th chamber of the Wu Tang.

I love — again — that this is a Bruce Lee ripoff with Bruce Lee but the credits don’t even hide the true fact that his name is really Ho Chung-Dao. This also has the title Bruce Li the Invincible Chinatown Connection but come on, Bruce Lee the Invincible is shorter, sweeter and a better lie.

You can watch this on Tubi.
