Severin Films are bringing the 2023 US documentary ‘Enter The Clones of Bruce’ to UK Blu-ray on May 27, 2024.
Directed by David Gregory, the film reveals the history of the numerous Bruceploitation films that sprang to life after the death of Bruce Lee. Interviewees include Bruce Li, Bruce Le, Bruce Leung, Dragon Lee, Angela Mao, David Chiang, Phillip Ko Fei, Casanova Wong, Yasuaki Kurata, Lo Meng, Sammo Hung and many more.
Synopsis: Within hours of his 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.
