THE CLONES OF BRUCE LEE (1979) – Category: Brucesploitation with an enjoyably absurd twist. In the joyously tasteless beginning of this quintessential Brucesploitation movie British secret agents extract cell samples from the martial arts superstar on his deathbed. Since E-Bay wasn’t around yet they can’t auction off the cell samples so instead they use them to make three Bruce Lee clones to form an elite crime fighting unit.
You have to love a movie called The Clones Of Bruce Lee even though it stars three guys who not only don’t resemble Bruce Lee but who don’t even resemble each other! Some clones! Dick Miller and Priscilla Alden look as much like Bruce Lee as these clowns do.
This film features not one but two mad scientists, one of whom plans to take over the world with an army of bronze men. If I told you how our heroes defeat the army of bronze men you wouldn’t believe me… trust me. All this plus a villain who has the funniest evil laugh in cinema history. How can you possibly resist?
LMAO I laughed so hard at that e-bay joke …
Thanks! I aim to put a smile on people’s faces!

Another great review for an awful film. I do think that this one is simply distasteful turning a martial arts legend into a joke. Bruce Lee is a legendary figure in popular culture, so he deserves some respect. In this regard, the film is a stain on his legacy. That being said, over the years certain films have proven its possible to add humor to the icon. For instance, Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” did a great job of mocking the martial arts legend without disrespecting him. Some criticized that movie for its depiction of Lee, but I loved the film.
Here’s why it’s worth watching:
