Upon his death in 1973, Bruce Lee left a legacy of martial arts and kung-fu that left ripples across the cinematic landscape that was especially challenged in Hong Kong which tried, wave after wave of imitators to recapture the magic and grace of the fallen star. While most of the projects were relegated to cult status at best, filmmaker Matthew Mallinson attempted a different approach with this meta-take on the legend of Bruce Lee which now comes packaged together in a special 40th Anniversary edition from The Film Detective.

Since the earliest days of American cinema there has been a shadowy counterpart to the commercial mainstream: exploitation movies — pictures whose appeal lies in their sensational treatment and leering promotion of often lurid and prurient material. Pre-1960, when mainstream Hollywood worked within severe restrictions on content, exploitation movies offered audiences titillating glimpses of the deliciously taboo, usually under the guise of being some sort of instructional cautionary against the very subject matter being exploited i.e. sex in “hygiene” movies like The Road to Ruin (1934), drugs in anti-drug movies like Tell Your Children (1936, re-released in the 1960s/70s as camp classic Reefer Madness), and gambling in the anti-vice Gambling with Souls (1936).
By the 1950s, as the studios entered their long post-war decline, downscale producers launched a new vein of exploitation moviemaking, churning out low-budget thrillers (mostly sci fi and horror) aimed squarely at the burgeoning youth audience. Again, the movies were cheap,...
