Plot Sypnosis:

Bruce Lee has just died, but the BSI is swinging into action to salvage the situation. Aided by the brilliant Professor Lucas, cells from the martial arts master are removed and grown into 3 adult Bruce Lee clones. After undergoing training to bring their skills up to the level of their 'father', the 3 are sent out to battle crime, with one sent to take on a gold smuggler, and the other 2 teaming up to shut down an evil mad scientist. Long Summary: Professor Lucas, a brilliant scientist took samples of the late master's brain tissue. Using these samples, he creates three perfect clones of Lee: Bruce Lee 1 (Dragon Lee), Bruce Lee 2 (Bruce Le), and Bruce Lee 3 (Bruce Lai). They are trained in martial arts by Bolo Yeung and Chiang Tao. The mission of the clones is to fight crime. Bruce Lee 1 goes undercover as an actor for a corrupt, gold-smuggling producer who plans to have him die on camera. Meanwhile, the other clones go to Thailand where they meet up with Chuck (Bruce Thai), a local SBI agent who is not a clone but who also resembles Bruce Lee. They have been assigned to kill Dr. Ngai, a mad scientist who is plotting to take over the world with his army of bronze automatons: men whose skin turns to metal when they are injected with Ngai's special formula. The clones successfully complete their missions and return to Hong Kong. But Professor Lucas, disgruntled because he feels he was not properly rewarded by the SBI for creating the clones, pits them against one another. Trivia: 1980 Hong Kong, Bruceploitation martial arts film capitalizing on the death of actor and martial arts star Bruce Lee in 1973. The film gathers together several of the many Lee imitators who sprang up after the icon's death (including Dragon Lee, Bruce Le, and Bruce Lai), alongside performers from the real Lee's films and other veterans of the Hong Kong movie industry. It has been called The Mount Rushmore of Bruceploitation films.
