This flick couldve been much better. The flick was doing good until Bolo dies. Bolo plays an unlit Marlboro chomping, Hawaiian shirt wearin thug named the Red Faced Tiger. What a sight! The flick reminds me of a modern day Fists of Fury . Lung Yen Fei (Yusuaki Kurata) returns from Japan in a white suit (like Bruce) to find out the cause of his Sifus death. Like Master Fok Yuen Gap in Fists of Fury, the death of Lung Yen Feis Sifu is hard to fathom as he was healthy and his gung fu was fantastic. After some snooping around, not to mention being at the right place at the right time, Lung Yen Fei finds out that that the Black Leopard criminal society is the cause behind his Sifus death. An Interpol agent, Leung Kin Sun (Bruce Liang) is also investigating the Black Leopard gangs activities and at times manages to lend the Fighting Dragon a helping hand. For the most part, Bruce Liangs appearances are temporary and do nothing to bring the flick to another level of entertainment. Forget about this flick. Watch up to Bolos last hurrah and then turn off your TV. Below average fare.
