Bruce, Kung Fu Girls (1975)

Somewhat awful and fairly exploitative kung fu action.

Five young girls including Polly Kwan are training in the martial arts. They chance upon a young man being chased by thugs and save him from a beating, the girls doing the fighting in their bikinis (natch). The man says he has developed a new secret formula which the thugs want to make money out of. The girls are sent by their uncle to help the police in HK with a series of crimes. Much bad kung fu action ensues.

This is not a film to be taken seriously, the action is frequent and goes on a bit too long and not that well executed either with fists and kicks frequently missing their targets though are sold like crazy. There is also a lot of whimsical humour and nonsense. Not high art but it does it's job of passing a bit of time especially if you like pretty young women in hot pants doing high kicks.

Despite the title Bruce Lee (not even Bruce Le) is involved in this film in any shape or form!
