'Bruce Takes Dragon Town' aka Shui gan deng wo. (1974) - Dir. Hung Sheng Liu.
Perhaps, not ideal fare for the hoity toity 4K cognoscenti, but avid old school chop socky fiends are sure to get a righteous kick out of this entertaining, wall-to-wall 70s Kung Fu fest! Those seeking nuance may wish to inspect their respective navels, and fight fans who could appreciate the relentlessly rapid fire martial artistry of good guy Daredevil Alan should give 'Bruce Takes Dragon Town' a shot. Dramatic/comedic interludes are enticingly minimal, while brutal acts of steel-fisted vengeance are deliriously dialed up to 11, and the bellicose quarry-set climax is a propah banger!!!!!! High points for me are the novel usage of Taxi Driver themes, the singular lack of slapstick silliness and the rad skipping rope scene!
