"Things are getting hot and I don't like to get burned"

One of the striking film titles of all time but it's a pity 'The Clones Of Bruce Lee' is such a poor film and rather tasteless in its use of actual pictures of the real Bruce Lee, including the great martial artist in his coffin. So there are in the movie three clones but they are only pale imitations, copying moves and gestures and the occasional ejaculation unconvincingly. BL1 is tasked with killing a film director who is also a gold smuggler and BL2 and BL3 with Chuck Lee (who isn't a clone of Chuck Norris spliced with Bruce Lee) separately go after a drug kingpin who also creates men made out bronze and who laughs a lot. BL1, BL2 and BL3 only briefly unite near the end.

There is a lot of repetitive fighting but there is also jacket-fu and metal pipe-fu to add to the mixture. Every henchman seems to wield a metal pipe. It's a hilariously bad film (bronze men felled by munching a poisonous plant stuffed into their mouths etc.) but it also leaves a sour taste in the mouth by disrespecting the original actor and it was a pity the great Bolo Yeung who actually acted with Bruce Lee appears, albeit briefly, in such a travesty. Shame on the film producers.
