Christian Zyp interviews David Gregory (director) about his doc ENTER THE CLONES OF BRUCE. It screens as part of CUFF.Docs Fri Nov 24th @ 9:15 pm at the Globe Cinema in Calgary.
A look at the history, controversy, and legacy behind one of the most bizarre and successful genres in movie history: the Bruce Lee exploitation craze. When Bruce Lee died in 1974 at the peak of his superstardom, he had completed only four feature films. But within hours of his funeral, Hong Kong movie studios began to produce hundreds of unauthorized biopics, sequels, prequels, spin-offs, and rip-offs starring a competing series of Lee lookalikes. Over the next decade, fueled by both deception and demand, ‘Bruceploitation’ would become a staple of global cinema.
