There are surely people who might believe that Bruce Lee was turning around in his grave, after this was made. Yes Bruce Lee had this idea and he wanted to star in it (I'm guessing as Cord the main character on a journey, with quite a few flaws). Unfortunately he never lived to make his dream (?) project a reality. For some reasons Carradine thought he was meant to actually go ahead and make it a reality for him.
The two knew each other from the TV show and I reckon it might have been where Carradine heard about the idea. Unfortunately he bit more than he could chew. A lot more considering he played 4 parts in the movie and also helped produce it. The intention might have been good, but even his acting seems wooden at best. Never mind the unfortunately varying degrees of acting the main actor takes us through.
And while the director was especially unimpressed by that actors performance during the love making scene of the movie (almost no nudity as far as I can tell, didn't really paid attention or rather looked to hard), one might argue that to carry a movie, more things went wrong.
Now obviously you have to at least be open minded to certain philosophies to get into the mood of the movie. But the movie or rather its depictions of them is almost a mockery. And I know that is not its purpose, it is just the elements do not really work together. The big reveal in the end is even explained as if the viewer is quite dim witted and needed that. It is a shame and might only be good for "drinking games" (don't do this though) or just a plain let's have fun and depict every little thing about it viewing ...
