The tournament scene features Anthony De Longis fighting his way to the finals with a balletic martial arts display worthy of a future Black Belt Hall of Fame recipient. Whilst perhaps lacking in the speed and fluidity of other kung fu flicks, there is plenty of grace and athleticism displayed on the whole. Legendary kickboxing champion Joe Lewis worked with “Kung-Fu” technical advisor Kam Yuen to choreograph the fight scenes incorporating Kung-Fu styles and Karate.

The flute as a weapon The blind man and Cord share a meal Morthond falls foul of the first trial This bandit picks on the wrong blind man The way of the monkey is to play the fool The rhythm master extinguishes a seekers light Soon Cord learns that he must not only be an able fighter but also face his own fears and weaknesses. Cord’s only guide is an enigmatic blind flute player with the wisdom and fighting ability of a Shaolin Monk. However the journey is fraught with vicious combat trials and life lessons. PLOTĭefying the authorities, Cord the Seeker embarks on the quest to find and defeat the invincible Zetan, for the right to reveal the secrets of the Book of Enlightenment he guards. As “Man in Oil”, Wallach provides some comic relief but also one of the film’s most profound messages. Roddy McDowell and Christopher Lee make noticeable appearances, however the most memorable has to be Eli Wallach.
Anthony De Longis is Cord’s opponent Morthond in the film’s opening tournament, and Erica Creer is introduced as love interest Tara.
David Carradine plays the four roles of rhythm master Changsha, Monkeyman, Death, and the Blind Man who guides cord through his journey. Jeff Cooper is Cord (originally to be played by James Coburn) a self-made, unorthodox warrior seeker.
Following Bruce’s death, Siliphant worked with Stanley Mann (“Damien Omen II”) to finish the script and though not a commercial success it became a cult classic. Co-written with actor and friend James Coburn, and writer Stirling Siliphant, Bruce wanted to convey his philosophy on martial arts and Zen Buddhism to a wider audience. Also known as Circle of Iron, this is the second posthumous Bruce Lee project (the first being “Game of Death”) that never came to fruition.
