Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
videorama-759-859391 Here's a unsuccessful comedy, you feel really tries, but still manages to be really entertaining, mainly thanks to Yune, a natural comic performer,and it's story and characters. Although really, does he look like Bruce Lee, "I think not". Parts of his face, around the eyes, yes, but really. He becomes a drug muel for a mafia organization he works for. He really isn't the sharpest tool in the box, but it's great watching him make his famous spaghetti- the best in the world, or make a vase magically break, by executing a karate strike, while standing nowhere near it, or too, eating chicken with numb chucks. His sidekick on his drug round, Freddy, is very likable, who, unlike his partner, knows what's really in those sacks, beside flour. The film's music score is the best thing about this lively, colorful film, that hosts some beautiful woman, none more than that sexy CIA agent, Bruce falls for, sort of. He's a really mislead lovable sort. This isn't a badly made film, but as I said, it really tries hard, where Yune is the film's star saving grace. This very talented guy should of done much more, film wise. Hemmingway is very good as a feminine fatale.
JSutton780 Where to begin?When I was fourteen I got this movie as a gift from a relative that I had met twice in my entire life. It is, in every sense of the word, a B-Movie but a decent one. It's entertaining, that much I can give it, but it won't be winning any awards.The film centers around a Chinese man, aptly called "Bruce" who gets mixed up with the mob and so forth and so forth. The plot, or lack there of, isn't that important. It's enjoyable and funny at times with some martial arts action mixed in. You'll chuckle, probably not full on laugh, but chuckle. It's a good film to turn on to fill the silence.I can see some appeal in this film if you're an avid fan of classic martial arts film, particularly Bruce Lee films. If you ever come across this film I'd recommend giving it a view if you're a fan of these kind of movies.
BlackJack_B I had read the short review of this movie in "The Video Movie Guide" over and over, thinking it would be bad; but by luck, it was on T.V. one summer afternoon, so I watched it. Well, they were wrong (again).This movie was good. It at least did its job in making me laugh like crazy at times, which is tough for anything coming down the pike these days.Johnny Yune, a now forgotten comedian, plays Bruce, so-called because people mistake him for Bruce Lee (he looks nothing like him). Bruce gets himself involved with the Mafia, who use him and Ralph Mauro as unknowing guinea pigs to deliver "Chinese Flour", which is really cocaine, to various bosses from L.A. to N.Y. When things go sour, the late Margaux Hemmingway tries to off the heroes.The film is very cheap-looking and dark, but there are some absolutely funny lines delivered by Yune.When he's in Las Vegas and he's asked about gamblingBruce: Ah Gambling! In China, I knew a woman who made her husband a millionaire through gambling. Only thing was, he used to be a billionaire.When he's at a black church and asked to testify.Bruce: We were so poor that when a thief broke into our house, we'd rob him!Early in the film, his adventures at a dojo are pure slapstick, as well as a scene where Yune and Mauro are in a Texas jail, and they use the Chinese Flour to cause a jailbreak, then when the cocaine is on the clothes of the prisoners, they start sniffing at the clothes to snort the coke! Hilarious.You won't find this on DVD, but you'll find this hidden gem somewhere in a video store. See it.
Shizaft93 I saw this movie for the first time about a week ago and it is the funniest movie I have ever seen! It can be goofy sometimes, but it is so ridiculously goofy that you still laugh. If you like comedies I HIGHLY recommend this movie for your viewing pleasure.Lets ask Mikey to do it, he'll try anything
