It's Yoo Seong a Korean martial arts actor. HKMDB credit him on their Enter The Game Of Death page in one picture but not the other. He played the lead villain in Dreadnaught Rivals, but HKMDB got that one wrong and put his name on the wrong picture, at least they tried 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member mpm74 Posted April 14, 2022 Member Share Posted April 14, 2022 BRUCE LEE IMITATOR QUIZ: Who's up for the challenge? The following quiz was taken from the October 1981 issue of CFW's Martial Arts Movie magazine series. There's some easy ones and not-so-easy ones. Some of you guys/gals claim to be experts and historians, or maybe you're just a die hard fan? Whatever the case, here's your chance to shine. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really count title-only Bruceploitation - at least Bruce Lee Fights Back From The Grave has the new sequence of him jumping out of the grave! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Shaolin Dragon Posted May 20, 2022 Member Share Posted May 20, 2022 @DragonClaws That poster is French and probably from 1979 when the movie was released in France. So the Bruce Lee title was probably used on that 1973 movie only when it was later rereleased internationally. https://www.encyclocine.com/index.html?menu=72608&page=&chercherfilm=Lightning+Bruce&x=0&y=0 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Majin Android Posted May 21, 2022 Member Share Posted May 21, 2022 The Pig Boss 1972 spoof of The Big Boss 1971 Never seen it. Don't know anyone who has seen it. Not sure how much Bruceploitation is involved. Zamora would go on to do many Bruceploitation films. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DT-Nice1988 Posted May 31, 2022 Member Share Posted May 31, 2022 Ramon Zamora was the first Bruce Clone for sure, because he started his Bruceploitation career when Bruce Lee was still alive. I believe he was a TV comedian before he started to play in those movies. I tried to find out anything about his Films. The most of them never got a international Release. On YouTube ist a Trailer of a Film with the Title "Spirit Of The Dragon". But the Dub ist a phillipine language. So I believe the Most Films have a english Title, but were only released in the phillipine. But I don't know why. I only found english dubbed Versions of "My Name Called Chop Suey", "Game Of Death" (It's more a kind of a "Enter The Dragon" parody), "Bruce And The Golden Chakku" (together with the Other phillipine Clone Rey Malonzo, who plays the Bruce Charakter) and "Revenge of the Dragon" (Not a Bruceploitation Film). And I found some Films with phillipine Dub. But I still didn't found "Fish And Fury", "Pig Boss" or "The King Plaster" (another early film). I believe they weren't released in any Form after the Cinema screenings 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
