Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe dojo "Bruce" takes a lesson in is the same dojo that appeared in 'The Karate Kid' franchise which was soon around the corner about a couple of years later.
- GoofsIn the movie, "Bruce" sees the Boss of Bosses giving Freddy the "Kiss Of Death" and mentions that he knows about the kiss from watching the Godfather movies. "Bruce" also tells the Boss of Bosses that he doesn't kiss as well as Marlon Brando. Marlon Brando never actually gave the kiss of death in the original film "The Godfather"; it was actually first bestowed on John Cazale by Al Pacino in "The Godfather Part II."

Yune driven watch
Here's a unsuccessful comedy, you feel really tries, but still manages to be really entertaining, mainly thanks to Yune, a natural comic performer,and it's story and characters. Although really, does he look like Bruce Lee, "I think not". Parts of his face, around the eyes, yes, but really. He becomes a drug muel for a mafia organization he works for. He really isn't the sharpest tool in the box, but it's great watching him make his famous spaghetti- the best in the world, or make a vase magically break, by executing a karate strike, while standing nowhere near it, or too, eating chicken with numb chucks. His sidekick on his drug round, Freddy, is very likable, who, unlike his partner, knows what's really in those sacks, beside flour. The film's music score is the best thing about this lively, colorful film, that hosts some beautiful woman, none more than that sexy CIA agent, Bruce falls for, sort of. He's a really mislead lovable sort. This isn't a badly made film, but as I said, it really tries hard, where Yune is the film's star saving grace. This very talented guy should of done much more, film wise. Hemmingway is very good as a feminine fatale.
