The Clones of Bruce Lee (1980)


Spectacular Films
Directed by Joseph Kong Hung
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
(VHS, Media Home Entertainment)

A scientist working for the government harvests cells from the dead body of Bruce Lee and creates three clones. They fight like Bruce Lee, they dress like Bruce Lee, but most importantly they have the same haircut as Bruce Lee. After receiving training, they are sent on various missions to take down criminals. One of the more ingenious "Bruceploitation" films that came out of Hong Kong after the death of its biggest film star: complete with an over-the-top movie producer and random scenes of beach nudity. The real Bruce Lee, who makes an appearance early in the film in still photos, would have been aghast.
