'Deadly Hands of Kung Fu' aka 'The Dragon Lives Again' is martial arts ineptitude of the finest order. Now, I wouldn't for one minute say the idea of pitting Bruce Lee against Clint Eastwood, The Exorcist, Godfather and James Bond and other assorted pop culture characters was a bad idea... but lets be honest its a bad idea. Luckily Bruce is aided by Emmanuelle, Popeye & Indiana Jones (wtf yes Indy in '77 a good 5 years before he became a screen legend).
Bruceploitation was very much a cheap gag of its era, sure its amusing in 5-10 minutes bursts (I'd have given the movie a 3 or 4 if it hadn't have outstayed its welcome so soon), but the gag doesn't work for longer. Director Kei Law at least knew this, and just went crazy throwing any old crap in the mix.

Best scene easily was Popeye vs an hoard of dancing Mummies. Its dire, but thankfully I watched it with guys over irc so it was bearable.
