Enter the Clones of Bruce

Enter the Clones of Bruce (2023) is a documentary you can watch online on iFILM about one of cinema's strangest afterlives — the Bruceploitation boom. When Bruce Lee died suddenly in 1973, studios across Hong Kong, Taiwan and Korea raced to fill the gap, and dozens of look-alikes answered the call.

Director David Gregory tracks down the clones themselves — Bruce Le, Dragon Lee, Ho Tsung-Tao — plus the producers who cashed in on them. They recall cranking out films with a near-Bruce on the poster before audiences caught on. Sammo Hung and Angela Mao stop by to talk about that era from the inside. The result plays less like a tribute and more like an honest, occasionally absurd autopsy of how an industry fed off a dead man's legend. Stream Enter the Clones of Bruce (2023) online on iFILM.
