Bruceploitation - ''a whole subgenre of movies and commerce” that are “copies, re-releases, re-edits, re-hashed attempts at recombining old footage into new products and Bruce Lee ‘clones’''

IS THIS BRUCE LEE? is exactly the question these films want you to ask.

After Bruce Lee became a global icon, the film industry did what it does best: it kept him alive, sort of. Enter Bruce Li, Bruce Le, and a whole parade of almost-familiar faces, each one wearing the same jumpsuit, the same kicks, the same poses. The result is a strange mirror-world of cinema where everything feels recognisable, but just slightly off.

With Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair returning to cinemas, and Quentin Tarantino once again reminding us that great films are often built from unlikely sources, this programme leans into the chaos behind the canon. Because if Tarantino can turn B-movies into high art, maybe these films were never as disposable as they seemed.

This is cinema that copies, is messy and completely committed to the bit. Whether it is homage, exploitation, or something in between is left for you to decide.
