Some cool fights
Overall not a great film, pretty weak story, bit simple. Only has a short amount of Bruce Lee footage that was filmed before his death in '73. Most of this is in the final 20 minutes as he takes on various martial arts experts one on one to get to the syndicate boss. This part is clearly what inspired @Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003) with Uma Thurman wearing a similar outfit to pay homage to Lee.

I only started watching this in 2024, when I was looking for something to scratch that 'Elementary', 'The Mentalist', 'Ludwig' itch.

This came before all of the above - indeed, it is easy to see many similarities in them all with, here, the ex-cop Monk afflicted with a severe case of OCD (made worse following the off-screen death of his wife, before the series began) but still able to solve many murder mysteries due to his powers of observation.

It wasn't me! it was the one-armed man!!
1993 thriller, based on a 1960 TV series of the same name, in which an on-form Harrison Ford plays the part of Dr Richard Kimble, on the run after being framed for the murder of his wife and sentenced to death, relentlessly pursued by Tommy Lee Jones US Marshal detective Samuel Gerard.

Full of great lines and scenes, with both actors at the top of their game, and riveting throughout.
