At the time of his death in 1974 Bruce Lee was one of the world's
biggest movie stars. Eager to fill the void, Hong Kong filmmakers unleashed
a wave of movies featuring Bruce Lee clones, which would come to be known as
"Bruceploitation."

phenomenon. The film features interviews with Bruce Li, Bruce Le, Bruce Liang and

The official synopsis reads:
Within hours of his 1974 funeral, Hong Kong movie studios began to produce hundreds of unauthorized biopics, spin-offs and rip-offs starring a competing roster of Bruce Lee lookalikes. Over the next decade, ‘Bruceploitation’ would become a staple of global cinema.
