Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn widescreen releases of the film, the footage from Warriors Two is shown in 1.85:1 widescreen, despite being originally filmed and released in 2.35:1. Not only that, but the English dub is not the same as the original theatrical version of Warriors Two. This is because this footage was not taken directly from Warriors Two, but rather from the footage (and dub) of the film used in the documentary Bruce Lee The Legend, which was originally in 1.85:1.
- GoofsJohn Saxon's spoken narration confuses a clip of 'Jackie Chan (I)' fighting Benny Urquidez and Wah Yuen in Dragons Forever (1988) for Wheels on Meals (1984) footage.
- Quotes
Self - Host: With the proper training, even a simple paper fan can become a deadly weapon.
- Alternate versionsThe UK release of this film has no cuts listed by the BBFC but at the very end the narrator says, "We've saved the best for last, here is Bruce Lee fighting with the deadly nunchaku in Enter the Dragon." The clip begins with Lee beating up a few of the guards, then he knocks one over in to some water and it fades out and ends with the shot of the nunchaku cut.

Featured review
A "Best Of" of some of the kung-fu antics of the 80's
A rather odd video in that it doesn't actually have a plot. Well maybe not that unique. Instead it is set as a documentary style feature dealing with the numerous aspects of martial arts videos. It's narrated by an amusingly serious man in a bizarrely dark room, where it cuts to footage of stars such as Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan et al.
Unfortunately as it is quite old it doesn't feature Jet Li or any other of the up and coming martial arts stars. But it a good way to be introduced to the genre and the more experienced among you will get to see some bit's of movies you probably haven't seen.
