Anyone remember the name of this kung-fu movie with Bruce Lee lookalike?
Anyone remember the name of this kung-fu movie with Bruce Lee lookalike?
I saw it in late 80s-early 90s on VHS. Movie was more or less following standard hongkong kung-fu movie plot, except the main character was called Bruce Lee (but it definitely was not him, allthough the lookalike actor was very close match). Plot: A martial arts school of traditional Kung-fu style (where Bruce Lee is one of the teachers? - they call him "Bruce") in China is being bullied by nearby japanese karate school, with intent to get rid of competition. Of course lots of fighting happens, after which Bruce is the clear winner (thus his school prevails), and japanese school hires a master from japan that has some weird weapon, looking like a pair of cymbals, which he can use as shields and as throwing weapons as well. The japanese master assassinates Bruce's teacher - an old man leaving in the mountains (yet still pretty energetic for his age - he put up a major fight) and Bruce has a spectacular showdown with him after finishing beating the remaining japanese school students and teachers. Movie title might have had "Bruce Lee" in it (but since it was translated - I'm not sure - translated movie titles might be completely different from original) Possibly important is the detail I've remembered - that the japanese master-assassin was not dressed in Kimono outfit, but instead in a dark suit with a hat (very similar to what Oddjob was wearing in James Bond movie Goldfinger) No, its not "They Call me Bruce" or its sequel. But it did point me in the right direction to this page (about Bruce Lee clones): http://www.beijingvideo.com/clones.html
