Bruce Lee The Invincible Trailers

After turning against friends of his Kung Fu teacher, Cheung Li Kung is banished to Malaysia, but instead of reforming, Cheung sets up a casino to steal wages back from the miners who work for him. When he also kidnaps the local store owner's daughter, and beats her after she refuses his advances, only those familiar with the invincible techniques of Bruce Lee can stop Cheung's evil use of Kung Fu. They must battle the menacing Malaysian bullwhip expert, and even berserk apes, in furious non-stop action that demonstrates the Shaolin Grand Master's deadly dragon fist, snake and tiger techniques.

Bruce Li stars as a martial artist who along with his teacher to Malaysia to sort out a martial artist who has failed to keep his word in turning over a new leaf and live a peaceful life. Also Bruce Li and his master are also looking for the Asian girl who was kidnapped by said bad guy martial artist who apparently wants to get married and won't take no for an answer. In fact the bad guy beats up her cousin, her parents and even sics kung fu fighting apes to thwart her would be heroes. Thankfully Bruce Li's kung fu is strong and that his master is even better. In a way Bruce Lee:The Invincible (Awkward title) is one of those martial arts movies that is often considered Bruceploitation but it's really not this movie's fault. The plot has nothing to do with Bruce Lee and it works as a stand alone flick. The fight sequences are also well staged and happen frequent enough to make this entertaining on the level its intended. Also of note is the fantasy and ambition The Invincible buys into, mainly how Bruce Li fights off apes (Men in gorilla suits) and it buys into a mythology that makes this as appealing as old school martial arts movies get. Also the film is a great guilty pleasure as it tries very hard to provide the martial arts action and although I'd usually take points off for quality, the truth is, is that The Invincible is as well made as these things get and is fairly enjoyable in a campy and mindless way. Also given that you can buy this for a buck, this remains one of the best DVDs to buy for one dollar. Not a perfect movie by any means, but certainly a very entertaining one.* * * out of 4-(Good)

Another one of those movies which is sooo bad its good. I few beers and a few friends makes this movie a masterpiece. I know your saying damn this guy is on crack but if you've seen as many b movies as me then you'll appreciate the better ones. It's jam packed loaded with fights every 2 minutes. Some of the fights are above average and some are just basic. One thing to look forward to in this movie though is the gorilla fight. Why ? Well for one thing these animals sure know how to fight and take a good beating. This is honestly one of Bruce Li's best films and if you love Bruce Li like me over dragon lee and bruce le then you'll appreciate this film as much as me. Enjoy!

My friend, Jacob, gave this movie to me for Christmas one year. I opened the paper and said out loud, "What the hell is this?" I later popped the movie in and discovered I had one of my favorite comedies in the VCR. This movie is so unintentionally hilarious. The men in monkey suits, the completely awful dubbing, the doofus characters, and let's not mention the possibility of incest in the plot that is treated as some sweet love story. When I have had a lousy day of shoveling yak vomit and listening to Barry Manilow songs in MIDI form at the local supermarket, I pop this dud in and laugh until I puke like the yak. When are they going to release this steaming pile of humorous fake gorilla dung on DVD? I want it. I will definitely purchase it at my local Big Lots before I will buy the 3-disc Platinum Ultimate Crappy Edition of Pearl Harbor. Hi-yah!

Bruce Lee lookalike vehicles often get a lot of stick from fans.While it is true that too many suck,some of them (like this) are truer in flavour to the world of kung fu fantasy than the watered down movies Lee starred in.Why on earth do we need another DVD update of the over-screened ENTER THE DRAGON when someone could be releasing this obscurity. Then more people could enjoy (as i did) the sight of Bruce Li fighting gorillas (men in monkey suits) with glowing red e
