While not exactly on a par with the Lee vehicle, THE TATTOOED DRAGON has plenty to offer, not least some seriously snazzy opening credits with a blaxploitation-style soundtrack, no doubt conquering the US market played a role in the decision. We’re off to a no nonsense gung-ho start when our hero, the Tattooed Dragon (Jimmy Wang Yu), can be spotted running across some ancient ruins (or ancient temple ruins) although they don’t look particularly Chinese at all, rather they look Indonesian or Thai. Well, Dragon may have come up trumps this first time ‘round but when, later on, he takes shelter in a nearby martial arts school where Lee-Ang and his men show up again - this time they injure Dragon by stabbing him in the leg with a pointed stick, hence Tattooed Dragon walks (and fights!) Later on, while walking along the river bank with dog Lanni and contemplating his future, he discovers the badly wounded Tattooed Dragon lying half in the water. Humiliated and angry about his defeat, Yee-Ang confesses to his dastardly crime boss Jun Lee Kwan (James Tien) what happened during the fight with Tattooed Dragon and that he took the stolen money from him.
