RETURN OF BRUCE
AUGUST 22 MIDNIGHT FREE DIR. JOSEPH VELASCO 1975 90 MIN 35mm PG

Here’s a little exploitation film rule of thumb: when you see a title like RETURN OF BRUCE, you can bet your numchucks that Bruce Lee is not in the movie, nor is there anyone else named Bruce in the movie, though there is a simpering comic relief gay dude (is he Bruce?) It’s old-school cheap kung fu shot in the Philippines and with a contemporary (‘70s) setting. This is a blessing for anyone who’s endured dodgy dynastic-period martial-arts films with the same sets, same costumes, same plots - yuck. This movie is like the ‘70s with a hard-on and a gleam in its eye, complete with ripped-off funky music, great shirts (a trademark of Filipino movies), outrageous dubbing and the kind of dumbness that makes you feel dumber after a while, which can be a lot of fun, like putting your head in a barrel of industrial solvent.
