Welcome to Michael and us. I'm Will Sloan, here as always with.

Luke Savage, welcome back.

Can I tell you about my most anticipated movie of the year?

It's going to be at the Tribeca Film Festival,

and it's a documentary called Enter the Clones of Bruce. I'm not sure to what extent I've brought

this up on the podcast before, but I've talked to Luke about it many times. I've talked his ear off

about it, but probably the thing I'm most obsessed with in this world is that after Bruce Lee died

in 1973, a whole industry of Bruce Lee

imitators sprang up. And because he was like the one Asian star who had international exportability,

there was a market for movies that could be passed off as fake Bruce Lee movies. He only made

four completed action movies between 1971 and 1973.

So you had people like Bruce Lie, Bruce La, Dragon Lee, Bruce Lung, not their real names.

When I was a kid, most of these movies fell into the public domain, and I would watch them on these, like, cheap DVDs that you'd get from Walmart that were, like, sold in bulk, basically.

Man, I remember those, uh, not, not the Bruce Lee variety specifically, but where they, I guess it was like Walmart's way of monetizing their overstock.

We get these bundles where it's like three movies for $8 and they're just sort of awkwardly like held together

with tape and plastic and it'd be like the most disparate movies ever or sometimes it'd be these weird

like they would actually have boxes where it'd be like one box for two movies but they'd just be

like completely disparate movies that's what you're talking about similar but then also like

there were fly-by-night

companies that would just deal in public domain movies, you know, movies that had no copyright owners.

So, like, anybody could make a DVD out of them. And this is before, like, the internet pretty much

destroyed the marketplace for, you know, selling 25 copies of Night of the Living Dead in bulk to a corner drugstore
