Bruce Lee Fights Back From The Grave
Bruce Lee Fights Back From The Grave is a 1976 Bruceploitation movie starring Bruce Lee impersonator and tae kwon do instructor Jun Chong (using the name Bruce K.L. Lea). The movie was directed by Doo-Yong Lee, though persistent rumour claims that the movie was directed by Italian horror director Umberto Lenzi. The poster for the film appears to have been made by directly lifting elements from the cover of the Meatloaf album, Bat Out of Hell. The opening sequence of the movie shows a Bruce Lee imitator leaping out from under a tombstone after the grave is struck by lightning. While the title and intro of the movie imply a story involving Bruce Lee returning from the afterlife in order to do battle, the bulk of the movie involves a plot having nothing to do with Bruce Lee. Bruce K.L. Lea plays Wong Han, a Chinese man trying to discover the truth behind the death of one of his friends. He travels to America and allies himself with a woman named Susan (Deborah Dutch). Wong is harassed by a number of petty criminals and thugs in his attempt to find his friend. Eventually, he begins to suspect that his friend is still alive, and involved in a criminal racket.

Perhaps one of the greatest "Bruceploitation" films I have ever seen. Combine this with the fact that I purchased this film off of the dollar rack at Wal-mart, and you have the perfect storm.
