It turns out that Joseph Lai and his infamous IFD Film and Arts studio is still going strong, putting out THE REAL BRUCE LEE 2 which purports to be a sequel to the 1970s Bruce Lee documentary. In fact, like many IFD films, it's something else entirely. The first ten minutes of the film goes back to featuring clips from Bruce Lee's early films as well as shots of various Bruce Lee imitators, but it turns out that this is additional footage simply tacked on to one of IFD's newest films - BIG BOSS UNTOUCHABLE, starring Dragon Shek, bizarrely called Sky Dragon for this release.
BIG BOSS UNTOUCHABLE, aka DRAGON THE MASTER 2, is a sequel to a film I never saw (and have no urgency to see, having watched this). It's shot on video kung fu antics from China, featuring an aged Bruce Lee impersonator in Dragon Shek, a guy who has the usual whoops and noises dubbed over his fight scenes. It's an even cheaper looking production than IFD's HERO THE GREAT, which at least offered the pleasure of seeing old timer Carter Wong back on the screen and fighting once more.
The plot is a piece of fluff about gangsters muscling in on innocent village people and interrupting their livelihoods. A lot of people get beaten up or bashed as the running time goes on, and Dragon Shek teams up with a beautiful female fighter in order to mete out some much-deserved punishment to the transgressors. The fight scenes are fluid in places but there's no hiding the cheapness of the camera or that the movie is filmed in just a couple of locations. One for the die hards only, then...
