The news of Bruce Lee’s death has shaken the foundations of Hell, and now he must fight his way through the Underworld to save his soul.
“Bruce” (Bruce Leung) awakens in the afterlife to discover that none other than the King of the Underworld, himself, sees him as the ultimate threat to his throne. Naturally, the King has no choice but to unleash his army of monsters, mummies, and copyright-infringing assassins— including the likes of James Bond, The Godfather, The One-Armed Swordsman, Zatoichi, The Exorcist, Popeye, Emmanuelle, and “Clint Eastwood”— to hunt him down once and for all.
Decades before comic book crossovers and multiverse madness came into vogue, Hong Kong gave us this truly insane martial arts spectacle that finally answers the age-old question of, “Who would win in a fight: Bruce Lee or Dracula?”
