Tang shan hu wei jian sha shou (1974). 1h 30m | R

“Starting with the opening credits this movie seems to u0026quot;borrowu0026quot; some iconic scenes/sets and even the music from Bruce Leeu0026#39;s movies. It opens with a group of big shots at a meeting. They are discussing a man named u0026quot;Tong Lungu0026quot; who seems to be missing so they send their man to Hong Kong to find him.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTong Lung was another martial artist/actor who seemed to come from nowhere to star in a handful of martial arts movies during the 1970s and then disappeared back to nowhere. I have not found any information about him other than his screen credits. I first reviewed him in 1972 u0026quot;The Ferocious Brothersu0026quot; which may have been his first movie. The 1972 date is questionable. I have almost all his movies. So far I have reviewed his performances from u0026quot;competentu0026quot; to u0026quot;immediately forgettableu0026quot;. He does have the martial arts skills but all the choreography I have seen so far does not even try to be better than mediocre.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy copy is a digital file that plays on a HDTV as 4:3 video. The source is obviously an old VHS tape, probably a copy of a copy. The VHS source seems to be the most beat up and worn out film copy. Despite the poor condition I have actually watched worse. It is English dubbed. The movie seems to have been released in at least four other countries under various titles.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTong Lung copies all of Bruce Leeu0026#39;s moves, expressions, fight sequences, and settings in this movie. How do you rate such a performance? Should he get credit for doing a good impersonation? Should he be criticized for doing a poor impersonation? Should he be sent to a special place in Hell for as much as daring to impersonate the great Bruce Lee? I donu0026#39;t want to get involved in this at all. This is just a below average movie for the year and genre. I do not recommend it. I watched it once, wrote my review, and I cannot imagine I will ever watch it again.”
