The Dragon Lives Again (Chinese: 李三腳威震地獄門, originally released as Li san jiao wei zhen di yu men and also known as Deadly Hands of Kung Fu) is a 1977 Hong Kong martial arts fantasy comedy superhero film in which the soul of Bruce Lee (played by Bruce Leung Siu-lung) goes to the Underworld. There, the deceased Lee meets a number of pop-culture icons from book-based-films of the 1960s and 1970s, including Count Dracula, James Bond 007, Zatoichi, The Godfather, The Exorcist, and even modern erotic character Emmanuelle, The Man With No Name also being the only movie-based opponent to not originate from a novel. Lee befriends The One-Armed Swordsman from the Shaw Brothers Studio, Caine from Warner Brothers Television's Kung Fu, and Popeye from King Features' comics and cartoons.
The film begins with the announcement, "This film is dedicated to the millions who love Bruce Lee."
