Now I sit here, in the year 2024, one month away from the release of The Game of Clones: Bruceploitation Vol. 1, an eight-disc collection of remastered Bruceploitation movies, released by the magnificent folks at Severin Films.
Kung fu cinema hit one of the worst stalemates it possibly could in 1973 with the death of martial artist and actor Bruce Lee, leaving the fate of the industry in the hands of creators and producers desperate to appease markets and somehow magically bring the dead back to life. Thus, Bruceploitation was born, giving rise to a raft of newcomers all operating under a moniker that would bolster capital in some form or fashion as artificially contrived screen essences of the late film legend. And, it worked. Aplenty.
