criticism
The lexicon of international films describes the work as a “spooky fantasy film with kung fu elements and ironic Far Eastern wisdom” and says: “Whether the weird comedy of the story is intended cannot always be determined with certainty. "
Remarks
- The film was nominated for the 1978 Saturn Award in the Best Foreign Film category.
- The film is based on a script by Bruce Lee , who originally wanted to shoot the film in India with James Coburn . Years after Bruce Lee's death, the story (modified slightly) was finally filmed in the desert areas of Israel . However, according to Bruce's wife, Linda Lee Cadwell , the film was far from what Bruce had imagined.
- In addition to the blind master, David Carradine plays three other roles, an ape-man, a nomad king and death - all four roles were supposed to be played in Bruce Lee 's original project .
