'Big Boss II' (1981) – Lu-Po Tu.

The cursory plot, such as it is, concerns the inauspicious efforts of plucky Chinese resistance fighters attempting to rid themselves of their fractious Japanese oppressors, but, frankly, no one in their right mind is watching gonzo Brucesploitation for narrative nuance, much less dramaturgical congruity! Director To Lo Po's 'Big Boss II' isn't the pinnacle of honourable Dragon Lee's dynamically energized, bone-breaking ouvre, it is certainly not without an exhilarating array of rewardingly fleet-fisted Kung Fu bellicosity! 

Happily, the weirdness quotient is above average, featuring muscled martial arts icon Bolo Yeung affecting a curiously Hitlerian lip adornment, an affable Jackie Chan side kicker (Lik Cheung), a delicious mishmash of gleefully purloined music cues, multiple, maniacally cackling Japanese villainy, and, winningly, some quite literal Chopsticks Chop-Socky!!! A lethal dart dispensing lute, and the rather frustrating proclivity of our vengeful hero to consistently be at the wrong place, fatally leading to the violent Kung Fu deaths of his resistance fighter chums, add a soupçon of pernicious Ginseng theft, lashings of sentimentality, militant jingoism, yet more hyperbolic cackling, and climaxing heroically with a bravura, shirts-off showdown betwixt the gloriously grimacing Bolo Yeung and lightning limber Dragon Lee that is worth its weight in savoury Dim Sum! On a more personal note, master Dragon Lee, real name Ryong Keo, remains my favourite Bruce Lee impersonator, one whose strikingly powerful physique, exaggerated mugging, and brutalist, remarkably rapid fighting style proved impossible to resist!
