Jack Lee Movies
Best known for his 1978 film The Deer Hunter or perhaps the less-successful Heaven's Gate, director Michael Cimino turned to this fast-paced actioner set in an authentic (back lot) Chinatown. This thriller stars a rogue Polish-American cop (Mickey Rourke) out to not only keep Chinatown safe for the local consumers, but to dismantle its deep-rooted crime and drug cartels as well. No one backs the crusading cop in the latter objective, and as he faces a suave and wily crime boss (John Lone of The Last Emperor) and a libidinous newscaster (Ariane), he may be taking on more than he can handle. At least his wife thinks so, and the guys at City Hall think so -- but mayhem and murder will strew the streets with corpses before the smoke clears and the dust settles, and a vague, unresolved future sets in. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

This time it's Bruce Le, not Bruce Lee, who possesses the fists of vengeance. Entrusted with the martial arts secrets of the late Mr. Lee, the very-much-alive Mr. Le and his cohort Jack Lee are challenged by an evil kung-fu expert. We know that Bruce and Jack won't betray their trust, but it's a toss-up as to whether or not they'll still be standing at film's end. The film's "token American" is Don Gordon, a familiar face on the 1960s B-flick scene. Bruce's Fists of Vengeance will be best appreciated by its target audience. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
