Probably the most polished Bruce Lee movie, not sure if I can say it is the best.

VHS is the way to go, but they actually have it on Netflix now if someone haven't seen it. This movie was the main inspiration for the Mortal Kombat series.

stratogustav Now that you mention that, both Super Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat have characters based on Bruce Lee.

This movie was the main inspiration for the Mortal Kombat series. I always considered Big Trouble in Little China to be the major MK influence, though the developers definitely reference this one too. I haven't seen Bruce Lee movies in a long time and this is the one that I remember better - so, even if it's not the best, it's at least the more memorable to me. The setting and characters are top notch (Jim Kelly definitely gets a mention for his portrail of Williams), and the fights are very believable - I can truly believe Bruce Lee was capable of bringing down all those guys, the man was a fighting machine. My favorite video game adaptation until now is an expansion (or DLC episode...) for Sleeping Dogs called Zodiac Tournament: It's included in the Definitive Edition, by the way. |
