THE ART OF BRUCE-PLOITATION: A LOW BUDGET LOOK-ALIKE CRAZE

In the wake of Bruce Lee's untimely death in 1973, a new genre of martial arts film emerged: Bruceploitation. Created as a cashew by studios to capitalize on intense interest in the star, and the, sadly, small amount of titles he headlined, these low-budget films were made with questionable execution and starred actors who bore a passing resemblance to Lee, and titles riffing on Lee’s box office successes, often with dubious stretches of the imagination (The Pig Boss (1972), Enter the Game of Death (1978)). The genre reached its peak in the late 1970s and early 1980s, but evolved into a cult favorite among fans of martial arts cinema thanks to some actually competent action.

New Fist Of Fury (1976)

A typical sample of Bruceploitation films included such whimiscal titles as Exit the Dragon, Enter the Tiger (1974) starring Bruce Li, Bruce Lee Fights Back From the Grave (1976) sporting a resurrected Bruce Lee thanks to a bolt of lightning striking his grave and Bruce the Super Hero (1978) starring Bruce Le.

Bruce Lee Fights Back From The Grave (1976)

The Bruceploitation genre was born out of a desire to capitalize on Lee's immense popularity. In the years following his death, Lee's films continued to be released in theaters and on home video, creating a new generation of fans who missed Lee's work first time around, and yearned for a dose of what might have been had his career trajectory continued upward, as ;promised with his western breakthrough Enter The Dragon (1973). The nature of Lee’s death, sometimes attributed to a curse, found it’s way into the Bruceploitation genre by way of films like Exit the Dragon, Enter the Tiger in which Lee asks Bruce Li to replace him after his death.

Bruce Lee: The Man, The Myth (1976)

A curious and specific subgenera, like many exploitation era productions, several Bruceploitation films are considered to be cult classics, beloved for their camp value and over-the-top action sequences and a bittersweet reminder of where Bruce Lee’s star was headed. Certainly not in the realm of high art, or in the same league of production level as the Shaw Brothers films, they remain immensely entertaining as cheap cash grabs of the era, and fodder for a night of B Movie madness.

JAWS: THE FEAR THAT SWALLOWED THE JULY 4TH WEEKEND.

Ah, Jaws! The toothy titan that forever scarred our summers. Released back in 1975, this Spielbergian masterpiece has left an indelible mark on the cinematic landscape and our collective consciousness, and became the unofficial mascot movie of the July 4th long weekend.

Long lined were a staple of movie houses screening Jaws in 1975

Based on the 1974 novel, Speilberg's thriller was beset by massive technical problems and delays, but paid off by becoming the prototype 'summer blockbuster', becoming the highest grossing movie of all time until Star Wars in 1977.

Starring Roy Schieder and Richard Dreyfuss, it pits sun-kissed beach goers against a relentless Great White lurking beneath the waves, waiting to devour the shoreline. As fireworks explode overhead, Jaws injects a healthy dose of horror into the holiday festivities, serving as a reminder that even the most patriotic celebrations can quickly turn into a gut-churning swim for your life.

A massive pop culture compliment; Mad Magazine spoofed the movie as ‘Jaw’d’ in 1976.

So, if you crave adrenaline and suspense while basking in the summer bliss, grab your popcorn and prepare for a thrilling ride that transformed the way we view both summers and the lurking terrors beneath the neon-lit marquee and see the original on the big screen via 35mm Prints or the recent 4K Restorations;

CELEBRATE PRIDE WITH TRAILBLAZERS OF QUEER CINEMA

We’ve rounded up some of the ongoing special events happening at indue cinemas for Pride Month with films and film makers that have delivered some of the most innovative pieces of cinema for over five decades.

HAPPY TOGETHER (1997 / 35mm Print) at The New Beverly Cinema, Los Angeles.

One of the most searing romances of the 1990s, Wong Kar Wai’s emotionally raw, lushly stylized portrait of a relationship in breakdown casts Hong Kong superstars Tony Leung and Leslie Cheung as a couple traveling through Argentina and locked in a turbulent cycle of infatuation and destructive jealousy as they break up, make up, and fall apart again and again. Setting out to depict the dynamics of a queer relationship with empathy and complexity on the cusp of the 1997 handover of Hong Kong – when the country’s LGBT community suddenly faced an uncertain future – Wong crafts a feverish look at the life cycle of a love affair that’s by turns devastating and deliriously romantic. Shot by ace cinematographer Christopher Doyle in both luminous monochrome and luscious saturated color, Happy Together is an intoxicating exploration of displacement and desire that swoons with the ache and exhilaration of love at its heart-tearing extremes. (Janus Films)

Celluloid delights! 16.5 hours of Spider-man! Movies that make you feel bad! Secret Kung Fu screening! Lots to look forward to in June…

Spanning across decades of cinema, classics such as SALÒ, OR THE 120 DAYS OF SODOM (1975), THE SWEET HEREAFTER (1997), CHINATOWN (1974), SORCERER (1977), THE MIST - B&W version (2007) and much more.

Join NYC’s THE METROGRAPH across the first weekend of June for their FANTATERROR ESPAÑOL retrospective. For a couple of decades, the nation of Spain produced some of the most beautiful, terrible, and ingeniously perverse horror movies ever to taint cinema screens. These movies were tagged as ‘Fantaterror’: a portmanteau word combining Fantasy and Terror. The phrase never really caught on abroad, like the Italian giallo did while in Spain, these movies have sometimes been dismissed as a best-forgotten part of the puerile popular culture that reigned during the repressive dictatorship of Gen. Francisco Franco. But a closer look reveals a deeply rich, strange, and subversive cinematic tradition—its banner held high by such formidable talents as Paul Naschy, Narciso Ibáñez Serrador, León Klimovsky, and Carlos Aured—as well as a bounty of atmospheric oddities which explore almost every imaginable forbidden subject under the cover of genre. With two sexily secret screenings extending the program announced, it’s a heaping paella platter of bad objects; come dig in. More info HERE.
