    • Trivia
      The working title "Tiger on the Beat 3" was a ruse by the Production company Cinema City to prevent another company from producing a sequel to their Tiger on Beat (1988)/Tiger on the Beat series, starring Conan Lee, the star of the previous two titles. After forcing the rival company to abandon the project, Cinema City retitled this movie to Skinny Tiger, Fatty Dragon - with no link to the earlier series.

    Sammo Is The Best Bruce Lee Imitator!

    Another Sammo film that is a fitting tribute to Bruce Lee. Sammo's chemistry with Karl Maka is great and the action is top-notch.

    A fun movie but not one of Sammo's best!
