Trivia:

Both the English dubbed and original Chinese versions (not the version on the Hong Kong Universe DVD) feature music scores from other films. The English dubbed versions feature a large number of Denny Zeitlin's music cues from the 1978 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, while the original Chinese versions features a large number of Les Baxter's music cues from The Dunwich Horror.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: The lion fighting Bobby Lo is a laughable fake.

Lewis: Bobby Lo? Could he be Billy Lo's Brother?

Shambolic - the most entertaining film in existence

I'll just say that the film is constructed so poorly that it is outrageously funny. I watched it with friends, and I recommend everyone does the same. If you have even half of a sense of humour, you'll be laughing for literally 80% of the film.

Everything about the film is wrong: trying to resurrect Bruce Lee with scraps of footage and a guy that "kinda" looks like him; having a man dress up as a lion and go toe to toe with the lead character; having sets that belong in a star trek episode; having jesus play the bad duy. The best/worst parts are the "twists," which are so inconsequential they needn't have bothered. The makers could not have made a funnier film had they tried. Any film that includes the line: "I may be a jung-fu master, but I need cash!" must be essential viewing.
