Brandon s cult movie reviews challenge of the tiger
Synopsis
Two CIA agents - a kung fu master (Bruce Le) and a suave womanizer (Richard Harrison) - track the stolen formula for a super-sterility drug from Spain to Hong Kong, battling progresisst terrorists and a Vietnamese spy ring for its possession.
Reception
The film currently holds a 5.5 out of 10 on IMDb.
David Johnson of DVDverdict.com gave the film a positive review and said: "I'll just say this: there's a lot of meaningless fighting, gratuitous nudity, specifically in the opening where one of our heroes plays a few round of slow-motion topless tennis, and one of the looniest fights scenes I've ever seen: Bruce Le vs. a bull.This film's worth comes only from the surreal factor, but it's an excellent companion piece to For Your Height Only."
CJ of Letterboxd.com gave the film four stars and said: "This is one of most vulgar, crass and dirty martial arts movies I've ever seen. It's so colourful and entertaining and tries so furiously to give the audience what they want in spades without even thinking twice about whether it fits or whether it's in remotely good taste, that I have to admire it. Obviously it comes with the trappings of extremely low-budget trash cinema but, if you're a fan of the genre as I am, this is solid exploitation gold."
