For some reason, I really enjoy Bruce Li's buddy pics. Unlike the darkness of SOUL BROTHERS OF KUNG FU, The Chinese Stuntman provides for laughs and humor particularly scenes with Bruce and John. Even their sparring scenes look great, though not surprising having Jeet Kun Do masters John Ladalski and Dan Inosanto involved. If you look at Bruce Li's movies, his kung fu is a level higher here and Ho Chung Tao (Li's real name) gets to show his real stuff here and not limited by Bruceploitation standards. Dan Inosanto shows Jeet Kun Do in scenes and looks formidable displaying his Eskrima prowess. This is the second time I've seen him in action besides Game of Death.
Check out the stunts in this one too! That car flip looks really fantastic except they used a cut shot. Did I mention lots of furniture gets trashed?
