The Dragon Lives Again (1976)

You know, I've seen a lot of insane films in my day. But it would be tough to top this Hong Kong-bred farrago for sheer lunacy. Beyond any of the actual specific scenes or lines of dialogue, all you need to know is that this film has Bruce Lee teaming up with the One-Armed Boxer, Popeye and John Wayne to prevent the Godfather and his henchmen -- the Exorcist, Clint Eastwood, Zatoichi, James Bond, Dracula and Emmanuelle -- from killing the King of the Underworld. This ain't your daddy's Bruce-Lee-name-stealing, Bruce-Le-starring ripoff. This was made by people who were legitimately nuts. If the above plot synopsis isn't enough for you, then know that the climactic fight scene has Bruce Lee beating up the Devil. Do you understand what I'm saying? THIS HAS BRUCE LEE WHIPPING THE FUCK OUT OF THE DEVIL. If that's not enough for a recommendation, than I will have truly lost my capacity for shameless fun. Best enjoyed with a 12-pack, but enjoyable all the same. The hard part is finding it.
