What happens

The Image of Bruce Lee is a 1978 action film. It was originally released in Hong Kong as 猛男大賊脂虎 Meng nan da zei yan zhi hu (International English title: Storming Attacks), although the Bruceploitation title was added for its American release. [1] It stars Bruce Li as a special agent who teams with a Hong Kong police officer to crack a smuggling ring (among the smugglers: Bolo Yeung). Apart from the title, the only thing this film has to do with Bruce Lee is when someone tells the Bruce Li character that he resembles Lee. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
