Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Leofwine_draca THEY CALL ME BRUCE? is a silly American comedy about a noodle chef who bears an uncanny resemblance to deceased kung fu star Bruce Lee, which leads to everybody mistaking him for the action icon. Thus you might call it the ultimate in Bruceploitation movies, even though Johnny Yune looks absolutely nothing like Lee. Where he differs from the rest of the Bruceploitation actors is that he's actually a gifted comedian, and this is an out and out comedy.The absurd storyline of the film sees Yune working for the Mob before being shipped off to America for a tour around the big cities. He thinks he's delivering special Chinese flour for noodles, but in fact it's cocaine. Inevitably he soon falls foul of both the police and rival gangsters who take issue with him muscling in on their turf. It's straightforward enough, and a pity that the majority of the laughs are so racist in nature; I couldn't enjoy them. There are a few fight scenes which are fun but since every character in the film is a huge walking stereotype I really think this film's overrated, even though Yune is very good.

opdiva Some of these people are being way too critical over the quality of the script and social stereotypes. People should take it for what it is...it's a spoof. It's not like they have money to recruit big-name stars. It's a movie that should be enjoyed by the public...it's not an oscar contender. Are the gags mundane? yes. Are there asian stereotypes? Yes. The movie plays on these stereotypes and they know that's how the general public viewed them at the time. Someone commented on how Johnny's acting was bad...but excuse me...there was no royal academy of acting in korea. Like Margaret Cho said, "There was war." And also...where do people get the idea that the character Bruce is Korean? Don't people see the Chinese motif in the story? Chinese flour, Chinese noodles, Chinese food? Marco Polo? The actor is Korean, yes, but they said nothing of Bruce being Korean.

wombat_1 To answer the implied question about Australians in an earlier comment, I saw the film for what it was: a spoof comedy. I thoroughly enjoyed it as such. I didn't look for errors of continuity or consistency; that seemed rather pointless; or for any hidden meanings. I simply took the gags at face value and enjoyed them.I would not draw any conclusions about "real" Asians from this movie; any more than you would say draw conclusions about any other nationalities from comedy movies. I guess that Woody Allen comedies would be a perfect example of how that would not work. As for the best line, in my opinion it is:"...and then I got run over by a Toyota. Oh, what a feeling".

Shizaft93 I saw this movie for the first time about a week ago and it is the funniest movie I have ever seen! It can be goofy sometimes, but it is so ridiculously goofy that you still laugh. If you like comedies I HIGHLY recommend this movie for your viewing pleasure.Lets ask Mikey to do it, he'll try anything
