The Black Dragon's Revenge - Ronnie Van Clief (1975) - Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Kowloon

The Black Dragon's Revenge is a 1975 film starring Ronnie Van Clief as..Ronnie Van Clief, a friend of Bruce Lee who has been hired by a mysterious Chinese client to find out how Bruce really died. The funny thing about the version I have is that it is obviously censored so that whenever Bruce Lee is mentioned, the "Lee" part of his name is erased from the audio. No doubt Bruce's highly litigious daughter, Shannon, has had a hand in this as she has with everything else.

Anyway, the film starts off with some shots around the Queen Elizabeth Hospital where Bruce was taken the night he died (I think most fans agree now that he was dead long before he was even put into the ambulance, let alone by the time he turned up at the hospital). Check out the disclaimer in the first image (I guess that bit escaped the "Lee" censor).


 Note the appearance in the background of the fourth image is a sign that says "Fortuna". This was the name of a hotel over on Nathan Road that has since been replaced by the large Wing On building opposite Mau Lam Street (Mau Lam Street is where Bruce's family were living when he was being born in the US).
