The long lasting love affair of Dragon Lee and director Godfrey Ho has always brought a hint of uncertainty on whether or not any one of their films will actually be worth the watch.
More often than not, they can be quite poor, both in a technical sense and in entertainment!
But recently, I have been picking up quite a few of their films on DVD in my local Poundland, albeit with terrible artwork and cheap prints, but it has allowed me to find a few more of he better films from their library.
Enter The Invincible Hero isn't perfect in any sense, but it is by far one of Dragon Lee's better. With a simple enough plot, we get to see a host of kung fu action decently choreographed and hardly boring. We also have the added bonus of super kicker Casanova Wong from Warriors Two and such, who delights with his fast foot and hand action against Lee.
Even with enough to keep us watching throughout, it is the final battle that just lets loose!
I think having Casanova Wong on board made Dragon Lee up his game, and here is when we see just how great a fighter he really is. With long shots and multiple moves, Dragon Lee gets to show off some incredible kicks and styles in a fast moving, ass kicking fight scene.
Worth the watch for any true kung fu fan, and one of Lee and Ho's best!
