The Dragon Lives Again
a.k.a. Deadly Hands of Kung Fu
Twelve underworld assassins are trained to find and
kill Bruce Lee!
"In the lexicon of
cinematic weirdness, The Dragon Lives Again sits near the top,
if not on the throne." - Uncle Jasper, SilverEmulsion.com
"Drugs had to be involved in
bringing this masterpiece to the light of day." -
Christopher Armstead, FilmCriticsUnited.com
"If you’re up for a b-movie,
you need to see this. You cannot have more fun while watching a movie." - Josh Samford, VariedCelluloid.net
Bruce Lee
is dead! Long live Bruce Lee! Not even slightly inconvenienced by the lack
of an actual living Bruce Lee, opportunistic producers unleashed a tidal wave
of Brucesploitation movies starring martial artists with names like Bruce Li,
Bruce Le, and Bruce Leong. As the trend reached peak saturation the gimmicks
got weirder: Bruce Lee vs Supermen, Bruce Lee vs the Clones of Bruce
Lee, Bruce Lee vs. Gay Power! None of them are as weird, however, as DRAGON
LIVES AGAIN which begins where Bruce's life ended. The now dead Lee
finds himself in the underworld where after incurring the wrath
of the King of the Underworld, he meets Popeye the Sailorman at a
bar. Sound weird yet? A coalition of criminals led by "The Exorcist"
and including such illustrious members as James Bond, Clint Eastwood, "The Godfather,"
Emmanuelle and Dracula begin plotting against the King and attempting
to kill Bruce. This is zany, out-of-control genre filmmaking at its
best. Expect wacky slapstick, weird sex jokes, and genuine kung fu fighting set
to music stolen from other soundtracks.
