Enter the Clones of Bruce | Blu-ray (Severin)
RELEASE DATE: June 25, 2024
On June 25, 2024, Severin Films will be releasing the Blu-ray for the long-awaited Bruceploitation documentary Enter the Clones of Bruce.
Within hours of his 1974 funeral, Hong Kong movie studios began to produce hundreds of unauthorized biopics, spin-offs and rip-offs starring a competing roster of Bruce Lee lookalikes.
Over the next decade, ‘Bruceploitation’ would become a staple of global cinema. Director David Gregory – whose award-winning documentaries include Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley’s Island of Dr. Moreau and Blood & Flesh: The Reel Life & Ghastly Death of Al Adamson – now examines this fascinating phenomenon via interviews with Bruce Li, Bruce Le, Bruce Liang and Dragon Lee; martial arts legends like Angela Mao, David Chiang, Phillip Ko and Sammo Hung; and the producers, directors, distributors and experts – along with copious clips from the films themselves – that for the first time reveal the history, controversy and legacy behind one of the most bizarre genres in movie history.

I will be looking forward to this documentary. I was never a huge fan of the Brucesploitation films, they were what they were, low budget, exploitative, aiming for a quick buck from an undemanding audience, but I’m nonetheless interested in their history & the behind the scenes stories of the people who made them. I’m sure even “the clones of Bruce Lee” aimed at some point to produce good films but a lack of time, money, & producers with artistic integrity probably didn’t help with any such aspirations.
Hope for a soon release also to the german market
Huge Grindhouse movies fan. Can wait to see this.
