RELEASE DATE: May 12, 2020
On May 12, 2020, VCI Entertainment, the U.S. distribution company that recently released 1980’s The Leg Fighters under its kung fu banner The Pearl Collection, will be releasing the Blu-ray for Dynamo.
Yes, Dynamo, one of Bruce Li/Ho Chung Tao’s best films (but not better than Iron Dragons Strikes Back). The movie is also noted for featuring action by the legendary Yuen Woo-ping (The Matrix, Ip Man 4: The Finale).

‘Chinese Stuntman’ & ‘Gold Connection’ are better films…so is the underrated ‘Edge Of Fury’ the one he did w/ Yasuaki Kurata.
Agree. The two you mention are my favorite Bruce Li movies. Also, BLTMTM is a another good one.
Can’t forget “Bruce and the Iron Finger”, “Blind Fist Of Bruce”, and “The Ming Patriots” aka Revenge Of The Patriots”.
I agree with Grady Hendrix that most Bruceploitation movies were made quickly and poorly, but I want to check these out. They seem more respectful.
on this release there will be NO documentary about Ho Chung Tao.
I ordered also specially because of that !
