Bruce Lee and Kung Fu Mania

Its not really a movie. It is just clips from various kung fu movies from the 70's, put together like one big advertisement trying to get the viewer to look for the films that are being shown. Neat idea though. They do try to present a type of story, explaining how Bruce Lee is one of the reasons that martial arts movies were so big in the seventies.

After the introduction, the song "kung fu fighting plays and there is a picture of Bruce, then the clips of the movies begin. A must, for those who like seeing clips of various movies. I however, even found it to be quite entertaining to see good fight sequences without having to go through the plot. I even discovered movies I haven't seen before.

This title has two parts: Part 1 consists of Bruce Lee, which starts with the "making of Enter the Dragon" followed by a brief biography on Bruce mixed in with clips from some of his films. That's about 25 minutes of the film.

The second part is classic 70's grindhouse trailers to martial arts films that were released during the heyday of the kung fu film genre. There are classics such as "The Black Dragon", "Duel of the Iron Fist", "The Tattoo Connection", and the amazing titled "Bruce Lee Fights Back from the Grave" as well as some odd ones such as "Kung Fu Master: Bruce Lee Style" and "Shadow of the Dragon".
