r-c-s This movie is awfully funny, leaving one with an awkward sense of time warp. Secret British intelligence (as secret as unheard of ) summons brilliant scientist for an equally secret operation in a hospital. So the Bond guy calls the professor, they ride to the hospital...picture this, and when they arrive Bruce Lee has been dead for only 20 minutes! So the scientist engineers three morons supposed to be clones of Bruce Lee, but who look credible with sunglasses only, at not less than 20 meters distance. Here we have another common ploy similar to Remo Williams, 6 millions dollar man etc: disaster gives intelligence agency the opportunity to engineer superheroes, who are brainwashed using a pasta bowl & carnival electronic equipment (EG a €29,99 karaoke set ). They are trained by Bolo Yeung...mind this...the AAA+ secret underground facility looks more like the cellar of a third grade middle school in ruins, than a Bond-styled base. They learn awfully fast and are soon having conniptions while a slightly altered version of the Rocky music plays. One of them is dispatched to get rid of some gold smuggler working under the cover of the movie industry...needless to say the Bruce clone is an instant hit. Ultimate fight ensues in what seems a dump, and the thug tries to escape sailing away on board of a ship more attuned to XIX century China...where is Wong Fei Hung? The other two are dispatched to get rid of a thai drug kingpin-scientist whose AAA+ world-threatening laboratory is located in a barn and run by two hindu morons with hollow teeth, the answer to Dr. NO, Hugo Drax etc. This low-budgeter tries to cross the line with shots in Thailand. The evil scientists turns dozy Thais wearing ancient Japanese swimming suits into bronze warriors, but it is easy to open their mouth and stuff it with handfuls of grass, enough to kill them. Audio is out of synchrony, so they hit the bronze warriors and ten second later we hear "deng!". When the scientist who created the clones (the same man who played "boss" in the way of the dragon ) gets rewarded with a hefty "well-done" in front of the picture of a teen aged queen Elizabeth (this tells you how recent the movie is ), he goes berserk in resentment and wants to dominate the world with the best Bruce after a lethal combat between the three. Sympathetic nurse unplugs the brain-control machine controls and final battle ensues. Acting? Pardon? SFX? Pardon? Ten seconds of nudity with chubby thai sunbathers. Fights are very mediocre. Plot is paper thin & poorly stitched together. Image quality very mediocre.

InzyWimzy HA HA HA!!! Man, I wish they could move that gas mask or take those 70s shades off. Is that Bruce Lee times three? This movie definitely was shoddily done, but the dubbing is kooky and the story is hilarious. At times, I think there were four Bruces. There is so much to say during the beach scene seeing two Bruce wannabes sporting speedos and one of them warning him to stay away from the naked babes on the beach and that they'll "eat you alive". WHY are they avoiding the women? Of course, throw in gratuitous nudity to attract attention. The kung fu isn't up to Shaw Bros. level, but it's decent. Dragon Lee is the best one as Bruce number one and swipes at his nose so often, you'd think he did lines in between takes. The scientist guy is played by guy who was head boss ("What I like, I get. And I want that restaurant!!!) in Way of the Dragon. Head Ham award gose to the evil drug lord who you have to credit him for being a big thinker. Not only does he want to be top drug lord, but be impressed by his "We will rule the world" speech. This is far from being good in quality, but a lot of fights, very kooky premise, and high in kampiness value makes Clones a fun one to watch.

Sum Flounder I saw this film in the early eighties, so my memory of the plot details is pretty hazy. I do recall, however that the clones mentioned in the title not only didn't look very much like Bruce Lee, they didn't look like each other! Also, there was an army of overweight men in diapers who were covered with metallic paint and were supposed to be made out of bronze. Whenever these guys would get kicked or punched a metallic "bong" was heard on the soundtrack to enhance the illusion. The only problem that the effect was ruined by the way their flesh jiggled on impact. I went to a lot of lousy films in those days, but this one got by far the worst audience reaction of all of them(although the place was nearly full!). If they were dumb enough to think a film with a title like this would be good, they deserved to be disappointed. Personally, at the time I thought it was a lot of goofy fun.

rancor-7 This movie is actually so bad. (Direction, acting, effects, even the fighting) that it has reached some sort of cult status over here. You should check it out. It's funny as hell.
