Heroes of the Underground (1976)
Besides martial arts, Bruce Lee's contribution to Chinese society was instilling a strong sense of nationalism. After his death, anti-Japanese films found new breathe especially in Taiwan. Based on a King Hu’s script, Heroes Of The Underground tapped into Lee's nationalistic fervor and the Confucian ethic of country above family and starred the popular Ching Li as a World War II, Chinese secret agent planted into the Japanese Headquarters at Changsha. Tears flow in the name of country pride.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
