Reception

The film is generally considered on of Bruce Le's worst movies. As the movie has many bizarre scenes such as Wang being attacked by a group of midgets and also the movie title is Bruce and the Shaolin Bronzemen, though they appear in one scen unrelated to the rest of the movie. The second main problem was the controversial storyline, was 95% about hidden treasure but in the last 5% of the film it leaves this storyline unfinished and enters a completely different one.
