La tigre si scatena

I was expecting a more lightheaded attempt to cash in the blaxsploitation genre, but the black actor is a lesser character. So pay no mind to the title, Soul Brothers Of Kung Fu. This film is serious as a heart attack and quite dark. This film is about brothers that end up going against each other and is set in the grimy Hong Kong underworld. This predates A Better Tomorrow by almost a decade, but all the action is Kung Fu style and there is a lot of it. The story is choppy and poorly edited, but most viewers should be satisfied with the awesome fight scenes contained within. The film is a little different for star Bruce Li, but shows his strength as a leading man and while he may have been billed as a Bruce Lee imitator, he is the best of them. Bruce Li was in phenomenal shape and possessed some excellent fighting skills. Shaw Brothers star Lo Meng is the brother gone bad that Bruce Li must square off with. In closing, Soul Brothers Of Kung Fu has its flaws, but is a very interesting and well choreographed Kung Fu movie.
