Sir Christopher certainly left behind a great body of work, but he DID manage to hit a few clinkers along the way....don't we all?
I submit this as evidence....

Well, There's THE RETURN OF CAPTAIN INVINCIBLE (1983), in which he really tries to shine in a stinker in which the director is deliberately trying to make him look bad...
And then there's KILLER FORCE (1976), in which he "looks" pretty creepy as a guy who likes his switchblade, but his refined, articulate accent can't quite grasp the thuggish vernacular...

Both star Reb Brown (Known for Space Mutiny) for some reason.
Oh wow, for me, Jaguar Lives existed only as vaguely remembered mention in a 80's martial arts magazine. Joe Lewis was a huge karate champion, and studied JKD with Bruce Lee as well. I never thought I would see a movie with Joe Lewis in it. Thank you!
... I liked The Return of Captain Invincible. :bluesad:

I had a copy of this a few years ago; the wife and I laughed ourselves silly. I just got another copy in the SCI-FI FEVER set I just bought.

I'd blocked that one out, Trev; thanks for sharing.

I watched KILLER FORCE on a double bill with DR. BLACK AND MR. HYDE at 3 am at the Wood Theatre in Chicago, 1976.

JAGUAR LIVES! Wee-hee-hee-hee-hee...Oh, that is SO ripe for riffing. The opening credits look like they're ducking punches. And that cast! Chris ain't alone in this house payment flick.
I don't know the title, but didn't he have a role in like this really bad softcore film that he didn't even know it was sleazy because they filmed his scene separate from most of the other raunchy stuff?
Remember reading that somewhere.

MEATCLEAVER MASSACRE (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076380/)
QuoteActor 'Lee, Christopher' has said that he had no idea he was appearing in this film. He said that he was hired by a different producer to narrate an entirely different film, and that the producer apparently sold Lee's footage, without his permission, to the producers of this film, who then advertised it as "starring Christopher Lee".

MEATCLEAVER MASSACRE (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076380/)
Wow, title of the first review on IMDB
You'd Be Better Off Taking a Meatcleaver to Your Own Face :teddyr:
hah, can think of a few other films where that would also apply...
I'm liking the fact that (according to a few reviews) there are no meat cleavers anywhere in the movie :teddyr:
Then there's this, THE HOUSE OF THE LONG SHADOWS, which actually had the four surviving horror greats (Lee, Price, Cushing, and Carradine) in one film; actually, they only had one scene together, and the film starred DESI ARNAZ JR. , which says a lot in and of itself.
This blew mass chunks.

I wrote a full review of it for this site and I still don't understand what the film was about or why Sir Chris was in it. :question:

That helmet looks kind of cool.
Starship Invasions certainly is the pits, however, I submit these truly awful examples:
Gremlins 2(1990) with Lee as Dr.Catheter..

The Stupids(1996) as The Evil Sender..
http://youtu.be/SDFlRsDIAd4 (http://youtu.be/SDFlRsDIAd4)
Not a film, but still pretty bad....

He mentioned that in his autobiography (that I just read).
I have to disagree on The Stupids.
I mean, The Stupids was a downright lousy movie, but Lee's appearance as the imaginary Sender was It's only redeeming quality.

You didn't just call Gremlins 2 a bad movie did you? I loved that movie. I thought that whole thing was great.
