Bruce Lee, Kung Fu superstar, the pride of the Chinese people. It would have allowed people to appreciate his screen presence more, but unfortunately, he passed away suddenly after filming four and a half films. The real cause of death is still unknown to the outside world. The untimely death of a generation of superstars has to be lamented.

When Bruce Lee passed away, he was at the height of his popularity and was a cash cow for Golden Harvest. Every film he made was both a critical success and a hit. The sudden departure caught Golden Harvest off guard. At this time, the boss Zou Wenhuai was competing with Shaw Brothers' boss Run Run Shaw at the box office to compete with each other. Without Bruce Lee, we undoubtedly lost a trump card. Boss Zou quickly asked his men to search everywhere to find Bruce Lee's replacement, and quickly created a second Bruce Lee while Bruce Lee's flame was still burning.

Not only Boss Zou thinks so, other film companies also see this opportunity and want a piece of the pie. As a result, N "Bruce Lees" suddenly appeared. All of these actors undoubtedly appeared on the screen in the style of imitating Bruce Lee, and there were a few outstanding ones among them. But it needs to be explained that all the actors who imitated Bruce Lee at that time were all real Kung Fu masters. They were proficient in both the south and north kicks. Not only did they need to be similar in spirit, they also required agility and sharp movements.

The following are the heirs to the Bruce Lee style movies that were derived at that time. Although there are many people who imitate Bruce Lee, we will only talk about these few old actors.

Wang Yu

When Bruce Lee passed away, the first imitator spotted was Wang Yu. Wang Yu was already a popular star at this time. He had already joined the entertainment industry in the early 1960s. By this time, he had appeared in nearly 40 films. Among them, "The One-Armed Sword" was even more popular in the Chinese circle. Wang Yu is the successor of Hong Quan. Now that he is famous and has great skills, he can copy it and become even more popular. Therefore, Boss Zou did not hesitate to spend money to recruit Wang Yu from Shaw Brothers. Wang Yu starred in several Bruce Lee-style fashion action films one after another, which were indeed blockbuster hits, and Hollywood took notice of him and invited him abroad to prepare tailor-made Bruce Lee-style films for him.

As everyone knows, in addition to being an actor, Wang Yu is also a member of the Taiwan Bamboo Union Gang, and he is also a big brother-level figure. Both the company and the gang restricted his career development in Hollywood, and he eventually had to return to Hong Kong and Taiwan to film. As other actors imitating Bruce Lee became popular, Wang Yu no longer followed the Bruce Lee route, but returned to the costume film route. Later, Wang Yu was imprisoned because of a gang fight. After he was released from prison, he continued to be called the eldest brother in the business, political, and film and television circles. Until 2011, when Peter Chan and Donnie Yen were filming "Martial Arts", he was asked to come forward to play the final boss.

Liang Xiaolong

Liang Xiaolong joined Shaw Brothers in the late 1960s and transformed from a small dragon and tiger martial artist into an actor. In 1970, he emerged in "The Soul-Breaking Knife". By the time of Bruce Lee's death, Bruce Leung had appeared in more than 30 films, but without exception they were all supporting roles. After Bruce Lee's death, Bruce Leung was poached from Shaw Brothers by Golden Harvest and asked him to go abroad to shoot films with a strong Bruce Lee style, such as "The Little Godfather of Hong Kong" and "Hong Kong Superman". Without exception, these films were all based on the work of Yasuaki Kurata. Meng Hai cooperation.

Liang Xiaolong is not tall, but he is very capable of kicking. His leg skills are top-notch, and his fast kicks in the air without landing on the ground have become his signature moves. In 1976, Liang Xiaolong played Bruce Lee in the comedy action film "Lee's Three Legs Shocking the Gates of Hell". It's just the dead Bruce Lee fighting against masters from all sides in hell. Although the martial arts design and ideas are very good, now it seems that the production is obviously a bit rough.

By the late 1970s, audiences no longer paid attention to the various Bruce Lee-style films that appeared on the screen. At this time, Xu Guanwen's comedy films were the most popular. Therefore, Liang Xiaolong started to take the route of ancient costume martial arts movies, but at this time people had almost forgotten him, and Liang Xiaolong was reduced to a supporting role. It was not until the appearance of "The Hero Fearless" that he became famous again for a while.

Tang Long

Tang Long is a Korean and a master of Taekwondo. Bruce Lee's legacy work "Game of Death" (later changed to "Game of Death") used Tang Long as the main stand-in. However, in this film, Tang Long does not appear from the front, but appears from the side or the back. But it's enough to confuse the fake with the real thing. At this time, another martial arts superstar was brought to Hong Kong for development and training together with him, that is "King of Legs" Huang Zhengli.

After that, Sammo Hung, Siyuan Ng and others decided to re-make "Tower of Death", a movie in which Bruce Lee only shot the beginning, and asked Tang Long and Huang Jingli to play the good and bad guys respectively. In the end, this patchwork film was completed, and Tang Long officially appeared on the screen with the help of Bruce Lee's fame.

After starring in "Tower of Death", Tang Long quietly returned to South Korea to develop, and participated in more than a dozen fashion films and action films. Later, he starred in the film "Blood Game" directed by Yuan Kui. Starred Bruce Lee. In the mid-1980s, Tang Long immigrated to the United States and has disappeared since then.

Giant Dragon

Giant Dragon, also known as Lei Xiaolong, is a Malaysian of Korean origin. He has learned various Kung Fu schools since he was a child and is a master of Mantis Boxing. After he and another Malaysian action star Chong Chuan Lee were discovered, they went to Hong Kong to film. The name "Big Dragon" is the stage name given to him by the producers, with the intention of making him a "copy of Bruce Lee". Since then, all of Dragon's films have followed the Bruce Lee style route.

Julong's performance style looks very much like Bruce Lee in terms of his eyes, demeanor, and expression. His muscular body has reached the level of a bodybuilder, and his fists and feet are even more impressive. But because of his wide body, he was not as flexible as Bruce Lee. After starring in many Bruce Lee-style films, Ju Long went to South Korea with another Korean action master, Huang Zhengli, to shoot several films together. Although the martial arts design was very good, the production was relatively rough. In the mid-1980s, Ju Long quit the entertainment industry and returned to Malaysia to develop business and became a wealthy businessman.

Lu Xiaolong

Lu Xiaolong is a native of Macau, a master of Hongquan, and his identity is a kung fu instructor. In the early 1970s, he went to Shaw Brothers to develop. After Bruce Lee's death, he was quickly discovered. After being poached from Shaw Brothers, he filmed a number of Bruce Lee-style movies. He became popular with "Dragon Fist", and all subsequent films followed this Bruce Lee route, which restricted Bruce Lu's development and left him with no other genres to shoot.

Lu Xiaolong did not retire from the entertainment industry until the 1990s. In his later years, he not only became an actor, but also served as a producer and director. He directed and acted in films such as "The Great Wall" and "Black Corridor", which were regarded as Widely recognized by mainland audiences.

In 1995, Lu Xiaolong officially quit the entertainment industry, no longer played any film-related roles, and switched to futures trading. He made a lot of money back then. Although Lu Xiaolong is now in his sixties, he is still as energetic as ever. In the past few years, it occasionally appeared in economic magazines in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

He Zongdao

He Zongdao is one of my favorite actors, and all of his works are currently included. Ho Chung-tao is recognized by Hong Kong and Taiwan as "Bruce Lee's Second". Among the many early Bruce Lee imitators, Ho Zongdao was undoubtedly the leader. No matter in appearance, figure or skill, he looks very much like Bruce Lee. When filming "The Legend of Bruce Lee", Ip Man's son Yip Chun played Ip Man in the film, and he once praised Ho Zongdao as being the most like Bruce Lee.

He Zongdao has learned karate and martial arts since he was a child, and he is relatively handsome. After being discovered, the producers planned vigorously to promote him to Bruce Lee's position. But it is a pity that although Ho Zongdao looks like Bruce Lee, he is not the real Bruce Lee. Although his movies are relatively popular and well-received, they are not very satisfying to the audience.

After filming more than 20 Bruce Lee-style movies, Ho Zongdao tried to transform and make action movies in the Republic of China. However, the film market at this time was no longer dominated by action movies. Ho Tsung-tao's later films became increasingly lackluster, so he sized up the situation and retired from the entertainment industry in the late 1980s. He returned to Taiwan to develop business and run for parliament. He Zongdao currently works as a businessman and lives a very ordinary life. He is now 68 years old. Someone took a photo of him last year. Although he is older, he does not look old. He is refreshed and very friendly, chatting with a group of young people on the roadside.

There are so many imitators of Bruce Lee, and I know that there are still many young people imitating him today. Rising stars such as David Wu, Chen Guokun, Li Zhiting, etc. are all very good actors. There are also imitators such as Shi Tianlong and Chen Tianxing in the mainland. Although they are all imitations, except for Chen Guokun, the others are really not very good.
