This starts out with some funky soul music and then Bruce Lee-imitator Bruce Li beats up some bullies. From there it's off to some kung fu island adventures. Apparently everyone in New Guinea does snake-style kung fu and is part of a tribe of snakepeople led by a guy who wears the occasional skull mask and has a pit of poisonous snakes right in the middle of his living room. The great Bolo Yeung is part of our evil gang. A very racist depiction of a black man shows up about halfway through the movie and has one very memorable line of "I knows dat dey keeps dat snake pearl hidden dere" before falling into the snake pit like a jackass. There's also a couple of white guys that suck at kung fu to even out the racism scales a bit. An ape, or a guy in an ape suit if you wanna be technical, helps out the princess of the snake people with his martial arts and acrobatic skills and lots of people get chop-sockied to death. This ones just wacky enough to separate itself from some of the more boring kung fu flicks of the past.
I wonder what year they stopped making these Bruce Lee rip-off films and if anyone anywhere was ever fooled into thinking the real Bruce would show up in any of them. AKA BRUCE LI IN NEW GUINEA, LAST FIST OF FURY and BRUCE LEE IN SNAKE ISLAND
