I think you covered it nicely, plus that would mean I have to watch it again!

I dare you to cover “Bruce Takes Dragon Town”. Our current review is low budget.

And in the case of Bruce Takes Dragon Town, you don’t even get that!

How to know you’ve gone too deep down the Bruceploitation rabbit hole – Your grievance is that you wanted a Bruce Li movie, but instead you got a Bruce Le one.

“Shorts and knee length white socks is not a good look for Bruce Le!”

At this point, all three of us have officially pointed Le’s shorts out lol

Shorts and knee length white socks is not a good look for Bruce Le!

Wasn’t very impressed, but you’ve twisted my arm…I’ll give it another go.

“or maybe Le is referring to himself the whole time, we just didn’t realise it” LMAO! More like the dubber referring to Le!

Classic! I love the fact that the Bruce Lee Estate must have been making their presence known as early as the 80’s, since at no point is the surname ‘Lee’ ever mentioned, neither in the title or the movie itself (or maybe Le is referring to himself the whole time, we just didn’t realise it)!

I remember buying the Goodtimes® VHS tape of this flick (Under the title The Legend of Bruce Lee: Chinese Chieh Chuan Kung Fu) as a kid. I was expecting a Bruce Li movie because of what the VHS cover promised (click here to see the actual VHS tape I owned, not actual, but you know what I mean), but instead got a Bruce Le flick instead.

To make matters worse, the low budget VHS tape was manufactured/recorded in LP (i.e. SP=Standard Play, LP=Long Play, EP=Extended play), BUT my low budget VCR only played in SP and EP, so every time I pressed play, it would go in Fast-forward mode of Bruce Le doing drunken-style shit and walking around in shorts! lol

I finally got around to upgrading to a better VCR (that played all three speeds) only to find out the movie sucked nuts. Mind you, I haven’t seen it since, so I can’t argue against your review rating!
