It’s the fury of Lee times three! Experience the convergence of Bruceploitation’s most legendary clones – Bruce Le, Bruce Lai, Dragon Lee and even Bruce Thai – in “what may be the strangest Bruceploitation movie of all” (B&S About Movies): Minutes after his death in a Hong Kong hospital, scientists from The Special Branch of Investigation remove a syringe of blood from Bruce Lee’s corpse to create three genetic clones of the martial arts superstar for top-secret crime-fighting missions. But who will survive when a power-mad operative turns the clones on each other in the ultimate game of death?
As if that’s not enough of “a dizzying display every bit as wonderful as it sounds” (Far East Films), we’re also treated to relentless action, dubious science, gratuitous nudity, and actual footage from Bruce Lee’s funeral. Bolo Yeung (Enter The Dragon) and Jon T. Benn (The Way of The Dragon) co-star in this “mind-blowing masterpiece of surreal filmmaking” (Silver Emulsion) produced by the notorious Dick Randall (The Wild Wild World of Jayne Mansfield, Challenge of The Tiger, Pieces) and directed by Joseph Kong (Enter the Game of Death, Young Dragon, Bruce’s Secret Kung Fu), now restored from 35MM archive prints and scanned in 4K for the first time ever.
