director: Li Fei-Meng
starring: Lung Tang · Kang Kai · Hou Yi · Chen
Hsin · Chen Kuang
Bruce Lee is still
the greatest icon of martial arts cinema and a key figure in modern pop
culture. However, he died in the summer of 1973, so - regardless of the
title - he is NOT in this movie. Rather, Taiwanese
fighter Lung Tang does his best Bruce Lee imitation as he plays
a bounty hunter journeying into the wilderness in search of an escaped
bad guy. Very soon, he discovers the village is overrun with flesh-eating
zombies. However, further investigation reveals that the female town boss
(played by Hou Yi) is using fake zombies to keep the people in line. Things
become complicated when real zombies are resurrected and threaten the
community.
Filmmaker Li Fei-Meng
only helmed three movies. After this one he continued the supernatural
motif for Ghost Boxer but failed to grab much attention
for the effort. He turned briefly to scriptwriting for the Fu Dao Film
Company in Taiwan before retiring from show business in 1982.
