[MifuneFan]

Following the release of The Leg Fighters, the next release in VCI's imprint The Pearl River Collection will be Dynamo (1978) starring Bruce Li. The transfer will be sourced from a 35MM uncut English print, but also include 16MM alternate cut sourced from a 2K scan.

When a cab driver is discovered by corrupt producers as a successor to super star Bruce Lee, they find his rebellious and individual nature may be too much for even their massive enterprise to contain. This fan favorite in the sub-genre of Bruceploitation stars Ho Tsung-Tao (Bruce Li), Ku Feng and Chiang Tao. Directed by The Super Inframan helmer, Hua Shan.
