Ho Chung Tao 'dont call me bruce li' ..also-films' sountrack??


Im tired of everyone remembering Ho Chung Tao only as Bruce Lee imitator. They clearly havent seen this film. his role here is outstanding and original, and he totally shines as Chang Hung(not wong as this site claims. imdb is always wrong!)the slippery gung fu scene with the baby oil-what the hell is that!? pure genius, thats what, and not somthing his hero Mr Bruce Lee has done in any film. the only connection here is that he looks like him-well, that could not really be helped, could it! Ho Chung Tao was offered the chance to be a leading man because he looked like Bruce Lee and was denied his own identity. luckily, there are a handful of original 100% Ho Chung Tao films, like this one, Soul Bothers of Kung Fu, Gold Connection, and despite the titles, Fists of Bruce Lee and Bruce Lee in New Guinea. the last two have nothing at all to do with Bruce Lee and Ho Chung Tao's action is incredible, even if the movies kinna stink. the other films are entertaining out, with Return Of THE TIGER being without a doubt the best-but as the man has said, "call me ho chung tao or james ho-i dont like to be called bruce li. i can act like bruce lee but i am not bruce lee. i want to be myself." to hear him say those words is to believe it and see it from his point of view. with better managment and smarter producers around him, he would have followed Jackie Chan into international superstardom......also, does anyone know the bands/songs performed in this movie? "nowhere to hide" is instantly recognisable, but the others? 99...and one half...! by Chin Valentino
