BRUCE LEE VS. SUPERMAN

Chia-Chun Wu, Hong Kong, 1975, Severin Films, Cult

Along with THE DRAGON LIVES AGAIN, BRUCE LEE VS. SUPERMAN is easily one of the most synapse-frying entries in the magical subgenre known as Bruceploitation. Triad gangsters call Superman out of retirement to kidnap a scientist who solved the global food shortage crisis. Superman agrees to the deal in exchange for "money, plenty of girls, and booze." The authorities enlist Kato (Bruce Li), the Green Hornet's partner, to help. Kato hires his friend Carter (also Bruce Li), who looks, dresses, acts, and wields nunchucks just like Bruce Lee. The result is total madness. A fascinating time capsule from the golden era of gonzo exploitation filmmaking, BRUCE LEE VS. SUPERMAN has been preserved from the only known 35mm print in existence.
