Publisher's Synopsis
Author Stewart Home provides an in-depth look at movies that riff on tropes associated with Bruce Lee and that sometimes transformed this actor into a mythical superman. The period with the greatest cluster of Brucesploitaton productions lasted less than a decade from the mid-70s to the early-80s, but the genre spluttered on into the 21st century; and although it didn't exist as a category before Bruce Lee's death, there are several films that pre-date the Little Dragon's demise that clearly belong to it. This book systematically explores the genre and controversially takes a close look at which flicks really should be seen as belonging to it.
