Though he'd go on to produce a small pile of documentaries about himself, his one lone venture into creative cinema was this sh*tstorm of a kung fu music movie.



20 minutes of the film consists of the actors watching Bruce Lee movies. And those are by far the best parts of the feature.

Bursting with Jheri curl, neon dancefloors, prop boomboxes, and day-glo costume design, this film stands as a sobering reminder that we can never let the abomination that was the 80s ever happen again.

So bad it's good?
