Check the Title

The other two reviews are for a different movie or two. This movie that I have on DVD (definitely not restored, probably a bootleg but sold as original so what can I say?) does star the people listed here. The plot is a cop goes undercover to get some smugglers. He is often placed in circumstances where innocent people are getting beat up but he cannot help because that will blow his cover. Nevertheless sometimes he does help and still maintains his cover because the bad guys are more stupid than evil. There is plenty of action and the martial arts is basically authentic. The camera is often too close though. The fights against multiple opponents are realistic and fast, not like the kind where the hero is surrounded but they come only one at a time. The hero has this ridiculous technique where he grabs the opponents head and crushes his skull. This is actually based on a technique in Uechi-Ryu karate where they tone up forearm and wrist muscle by carrying 55 lb jars by the rims and practice stances. You can certainly develop arm/wrist strength from that conditioning but crushing skulls is ridiculous. Overall I liked the movie and would rate it a high 6 but this is only for guys who like this kind of thing, not the average audience.

Revenge of the Dragon 1972

I will start this by agreeing with ckormos1 as he said "check the title" but I would add that its more important to check "Cast", "Director" and/or "Producer" before writing a review. There seem to be a bunch of "Tough Guy" videos out there. This movie originally titled "Kung Fu: The Head Crusher" is aka Hong Kong English Title "Tough Guy" and aka USA Video Title "Revenge of the Dragon" (which you also have to be careful with - there's a few). The video I have is the USA Revenge of the Dragon and there's not much I could add to the review that ckormos1 already gave. I liked it.... I give it 5.5

THE LATE CHEN SING WAS THE CHINESE CHARLES BRONSON!

The late Chen Sing is the moustached Bruce Lee of this cheap but funny undercover cop-against-crime formula directed by the one of the worst HK filmmakers. Shot on the same island they used in several indies martial actioner, Tough Guy was starred by vets like Henry Yue Young and San Kwai (the latter as the henchman with a hat in the final duel). Ludicrous, funny, violent feature with amateurish photography, it was released in Taiwan 10/19/72 and Bruce Lee took an eye on it not because the movie, but because of Chen Sing martial ability on screen. Coreographed by Yuen Woo Ping. Director Joseph Kong went on exploit the Bruce lee clones subgenre like anyother else, in films like Bruce strikes back, to say one. Compared to them, this is Fist of Fury!!! By the way the hand technique used by the leading actor gained him the nickname Fu Jiao (Eagle Claw) among HK viewers. So bad its good, but compared to Jet Li, Mr. Chen Sing was REALLY good.
