The long awaited documentary Michael Worth was a part of making on the Bruce Lee clones is debuting this Saturday at the Tribeca Film Festival.  Severin Films' official synopsis

“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.
 
Director David Gregory—who’d previously explored film’s transgressive edges in his award-winning documentaries 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 uniquely ‘70s phenomenon via interviews with Bruce Li, Bruce Le, Bruce Liang and Dragon Lee; martial arts movie legends that include Angela Mao, David Chiang, Phillip Ko, Casanova Wong, Yasuaki Kurata, 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 and successful genres in movie history.”

You can find the trailer on the link above.

I think they should remake Clones now with Bruce Li, Bruce Le and Dragon Lee. There's still time!

With the rise in comic and movie cons i'm really surprised none of these events have brought over any of these legendary clones.

I was lucky enough to watch Enter the Clones of Bruce Lee today and I adored every moment. It has everything. It‘s informative as hell, has humor and has some genuinely emotional movements (especially from Bruce Li). It’s easily one of my favorite films of 2024 and I think all kung fu cinema fans - those that like Bruceploitation or not - will get a lot out of it.
