The Bruce Is Loose! Severin Films Brings Their Bruceploitation Documentary, ENTER THE CLONES OF BRUCE, To US Theaters

I’ve been eagerly awaiting this monumental day. Perhaps more than my Wedding Day. Severin Films have offically announced not only their 7-disc Bruceploitation box-set, THE GAME OF CLONES: BRUCEPLOITATION COLLECTION VOLUME 1, but that they’ll also be partnering with Alamo Drafthouse to being their much-raved-about documentary, ENTER THE CLONES OF BRUCE, to US theaters. Some screenings will even have appearences from legendary Bruceploitation actor, Bruce Le. Bruceploitation is a hugely paopular sub genre of martial arts cinema so for fans to be getting such a healthy dose of “clone” action is both incredible and a little bit surreal. It’s a category of film that many thought wouldn’t stand the test of time but ended up being the very definition of “cult cinema.” You can find the list of upcoming screenigs below: *4/12 – 4/14 – Alamo Drafthouse DTLA (Los Angeles, CA) + ENTER THE GAME OF DEATH (4/12), THE CHALLENGE […]

Monumental non-profit film library, the American Genre Film Archive, is back with another rousing retro title for fans of trash cinema to celebrate and collect. Late actress Renee Harmon’s performance in James Bryan’s 1981 film, Lady Street Fighter, is now up for grabs from the Alamo Drafthouse’s niche shingle and with an official Blu-Ray release set for August 14, and specs are now public domain. Have a read! She makes the bad guys bleed! Written and produced by exploitation demigod Renee Harmon (FROZEN SCREAM) and directed by the legendary James Bryan (DON’T GO IN THE WOODS), this is the story of Linda (Harmon), a tough-as-nails karate cop on the trail of the ruthless scumbags who murdered her twin sister!

THE RETURN OF THE TRILOGY Kicks Off Roadshow This Summer For Alamo Drafthouse

Lee B. Golden III

It may be infathomable for some to comprehend even re-releasing classic movies like any of the Star Wars films to the big screen, but it all really depends partly on strategy. Thus, the collective love hasn’t been lost at all with the staunch approval from fans over the latest efforts from J.J. Abrams and one forthcoming via director Rian Johnson this winter as the new wave of reinvigorated Star Wars fandom continues, and if it won’t be too much for you come this summer, then you’re in for a real treat. As it stands, the original trilogy itself from director George Lucas is always and forever one worth celebrating, and so you’re forgiven if you’re one of the millions of people in the world who would line-up for anything and everything Star Wars. As such, that courtesy now extends to those who plan on attending The Return Of The Trilogy, […]
