Ok, let me start by saying that this is in fact the real title as it appears on the DVD box and on the start menu. Let me follow with, it doesn’t involve in ANY WAY Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee isn’t in the movie, he didn’t write or produce the movie, and it was in fact released 4 years after his death. I did find out later that it does star Bruce Li, although he isn’t credited in my copy, a Bruce Lee clone of the Bruceploitation period (i.e. Bruce Li, Bruce Le, etc.). Bolo Yeung (Enter the Dragon and Bloodsport) also apparently appears somewhere in the movie (Thank you IMDB) but I didn’t see him. Maybe he was one of the guys in the gorilla costumes…

Which brings me to the review. Basic plot synopsis, a Shaolin monk is banished from the temple. He starts a casino and begins taking advantage of the locals. After a series of nasty events with the villagers, Master Fok (that’s really his name) and his assistant (Bruce Li) are called in to help. Their task is to save a young woman who has been kidnapped to the villain’s brothel. The two kung fu masters are forced to battle their way up a mountain past henchmen, an entire aboriginal Malaysian tribe, and a pack of mountain apes trained in Kung Fu. Fortunately, their human style kung fu was more powerful than the apes gorilla style and the day is saved.

This all begs the question, what does it take for dressing up in gorilla suits and filming a kung fu fight scene to sound like a good idea? I mean really? At some point, some one, somewhere had to say, “Dude, I have a great idea! It’s something that’s never been done! I’m talking about a gorilla fight scene!” See what I mean? It just can’t possibly sound smart.

Nevertheless, it is still fun. If you are looking for high drama, or even something that makes sense, don’t bother. However, if you are reading my blog, you are likely looking for neither of these, so go for it. Don’t bother watching the whole thing. Save yourself the time and just skip to the gorilla scene and laugh until you cry.

Bad Guy: Well now. You dare to come here, dare to oppose us. You forget the girl. You’re gonna get hurt. You got that?

Hero: Guess so, but still, I’ve got to check with my friend. See what he thinks.

Second Bad Guy: Hmm… and where is this friend?

Hero: [lifts his fist] He’s here. He says no!
