Hardly anyone seems to have seen this kung fu cheapie which is no surprise given how obscure it feels from beginning to end. It’s a period-set adventure in which, somewhat unusually, Ching patriots are posited as the villains while the hero is working on behalf of the Ming emperor. Usually it’s the other way around, although political allegiances don’t really make much difference to this nondescript tale.

The whole thing is shot on the cheap in the Hong Kong countryside and seems to take place in just a few locations. Dragon Lee, the resident Bruce Lee imitator, brings his Bruceploitation shtick to the period setting in a performance filled with high-pitched dubbed in yelps and howls. He also does his best Bruce Lee scowl. The plot doesn’t offer a huge amount of action, instead concentrating on the shifting allegiances between the main cast members. The supporting players are pretty boring, but at least one guy uses a cool weapon: a flying deadly frisbee, a little like the famed flying guillotine which was an obvious inspiration.
