Among a quite a number of so called Bruceploitation movies that really were pretty sick. "Bruce Fights Back From Beyond The Grave" - "Bruce Is Back" - "The Master Returns" - "Bruce Is Back To Right The Wrongs" were among many taglines used on a number of films.
Watch them if you must but don't pay to do it. You really have not missed anything if you have not seen them.
Cheers Don't forget The Clones of Bruce Lee

Cheers Don't forget The Clones of Bruce Lee Thanks deadlegion but I would rather forget that one. Mark Pollard on the Kung Fu Cinema website summed up the film with..... "Clones of Bruce Lee is the Plan 9 from Outer Space of Hong Kong cinema. It's the very definition of bad film making and sleazy exploitation. Expect to witness mad scientists bent on world domination, death rays, bronzemen, and naked women frolicking on the beach. Despite some decent kung fu action, particularly with Bolo, it's so bad you'll laugh or turn it off." & that was one of the less harsh reviews. Cheers

Dune (1984) [43153]I walked in mostly cold with regard to this one. Had heard about it but had never previously seen it or read Herbert. All I can say is: WTF did I just watch....? I think I'll just leave it at that.

I think I'll just leave it at that. If it is any consolation the Dune LD you watched is by far the best release on the LD format. All I can say is: WTF did I just watch....? I take it you will not be spinning that one again then. Cheers .

Bruce Lee goes to hell and teams up with Popeye, the one-armed swordsman and Caine from TV's Kung Fu to fight characters like Dracula, James Bond, Zatoichi, the Godfather and Emmanuelle The summary from the IMDb site covers it quite well..... It's one of the "Bruceploitation" films that were made to cash in on Bruce Lee after his death. The story follows Bruce Lee after he dies and ends up in Hell. Once there, he does the logical thing and opens a gym. After fending off the advances of the King Of Hell's naked wives, he discovers that the most evil people in Hell are attempting a takeover, so Bruce sets out to stop it. As if it wasn't weird enough, the evil people are: Zatoichi (the blind swordsman hero of Japanese film), James Bond, The Godfather, The Exorcist, Emmanuelle (the "heroine" of many European softcore p0rn films), Dracula, and, of course, Clint Eastwood (played by a Chinese guy). Aiding Bruce is The One-Armed Swordsman (hero of kung-fu films), Kain from the U.S. tv series, Kung-Fu (actually played by a Chinese guy this time), and Popeye the Sailor Man! Yes, Popeye the Sailor Man. He eats spinach and helps Bruce fight some mummies. .

Fields is great, I picked up the DVD boxes that have all the films but none of the shorts, the DVD of the shorts is still high and you can pickup the LD for a few bucks.
There is a great documentary on Castle, can't remember what its called but its great. Matinee is not an exact of Castle but its very close and how he was. Tingler is a great one, have some of his other films and need to watch. But he would put buzzers under seats etc. Amazing salesman.
These Bruce Lee style films sound absolutely amazing, I was looking up Clones of Bruce but its sort of high priced for what I want to pay. I think it was around 15, I'll have to see if I can stream it.
Always love Videodrome when I was younger, had a feel to it, I guess I should look into picking that up one day. Network is a great one too.

Get that fire going in the backyard and start burning stuff.
