SUMMARY:Enter the Clones of Bruce. Part of Severin Films Season
DESCRIPTION:Within hours of his funeral\, Hong Kong movie studios began to produce hundreds of unauthorised 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. Director David Gregory - whose award-winning documentaries include LOST SOUL: THE DOOMED JOURNEY OF RICHARD STANLEY'S ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU and BLOOD & FLESH: THE REEL LIFE & GHASTLY DEATH OF AL ADAMSON - now examines this fascinating phenomenon via interviews with Bruce Li\, Bruce Le\, Bruce Liang and Dragon Lee\; martial arts legends like Angela Mao\, David Chiang\, Phillip Ko and Sammo Hung\; and the producers\, directors\, distributors and experts - along with copious clips from the films themselves - that for the first time reveal the history\, controversy and legacy behind one of the most bizarre genres in movie history.\n\n"An entertaining window into an anything-goes heyday for Hong Kong cinema." Variety\n\nSeverin Films Season\n\nTriskel Arts Centre presents a season of documentaries from Severin Films\, a company dedicated to the world's most provocative cinema for physical media\, theatrical release\, streaming and beyond. Founded in 2006 by David Gregory\, Carl Daft and John Cregan\, Severin's curatorial and archival work has produced acclaimed collectors' editions and box sets - all with exclusive/extensive Special Features - that has placed the company at the forefront of the industry\, while their original productions have won numerous awards on the international festival circuit. \n\nThree feature-length documentaries from Severin Films will be screened over three consecutive evenings: BLOOD & FLESH: THE REAL LIFE & GHASTLY DEATH OF AL ADAMSON (about the film career and tragic real-life murder of director Al Adamson)\, ENTER THE CLONES OF BRUCE (a look at the bizarre genre of films imitating the work of legendary actor Bruce Lee) and MANCUNIAN MAN: THE LEGENDARY LIFE OF CLIFF TWEMLOW (a fascinating account of bouncer\, novelist\, composer\, screenwriter\, producer and actor Cliff Twenlow). \n\nWhile these documentaries will be of interest to cult movie fans\, they are also entertaining explorations of their subjects for the casual viewer to thoroughly enjoy also.
