- ConnectionsEdited into Ninja Theater: Bruce Lee Fights Back from the Grave (2022)
Everybody probably knows that there's no Bruce Lee here. But I was a little bit disapppointed that there's no fighting back from the grave either. The movie has absolutely nothing to do with the title or the poster - except that the poster image is shown in the opening. That's something I've never ever seen before... poster appearing in the movie! That's amazing.
So, the story is about some martial arts dude who is searching for some missing guy in Los Angeles. He teams up with a girl and fights bad guys here and there. The tone is almost serious but there also seems to be intentional camp and self-aware comedy added.
The directing and especially editing is really crazy. The fighting scenes are full of weird angles and random cuts. But somehow the amateurish style feels refreshing and exciting! Then there are scenes with very strange lighting which probably is due to low budget but it accidentally looks kind of cool. In general there is potential for an accidental art masterpiece. If only it was just a little bit more crazy...
Overall Bruce Lee Fights Back from the Grave isn't quite as amazing as you'd wish for but it's not terrible either. Very much recommended for fans of cheesy bad movies!
