Where to begin?When I was fourteen I got this movie as a gift from a relative that I had met twice in my entire life. It is, in every sense of the word, a B-Movie but a decent one. It's entertaining, that much I can give it, but it won't be winning any awards.The film centers around a Chinese man, aptly called "Bruce" who gets mixed up with the mob and so forth and so forth. The plot, or lack there of, isn't that important. It's enjoyable and funny at times with some martial arts action mixed in. You'll chuckle, probably not full on laugh, but chuckle. It's a good film to turn on to fill the silence.I can see some appeal in this film if you're an avid fan of classic martial arts film, particularly Bruce Lee films. If you ever come across this film I'd recommend giving it a view if you're a fan of these kind of movies.

if anyone like myself had HBO in the summer of 84 then you saw this film many many times. i have to confess i have have seen this well over 75 times in my life and i still can watch it and laugh at each wonderful joke. It takes me back to a time when watching a film was innocent and the internet wasn't there to poison my opinion and i could watch anything without expectations. This film is in my top 5 because of the time and place it was released. Johnny Yune should have stuck around and made a few more films i think he could have really made something of himself. This movie poster still hangs in my man cave. Somewhat sad that Margaux Hemingway would have not build on this role as she is excellent as Carman and unfortunately would leave this earth much to early.

i found this movie to be very fast paced,with a lot of action and a few mildly funny bits thrown in here and there.i wouldn't call it a comedy,(though many might disagree)but more of an action film/crime drama.it's very entertaining,and worth watching.it references The Godfather on many occasion.even the music is similar in some scenes.in fact,it almost spoofs it.Kungfu the series is also referenced.Johnny Yune who plays Bruce is a very likable actor as is his character.i wouldn't say this is a classic film by any means,but it should keep you entertained for just under ninety minutes.for me,They Call Me Bruce? is a 6/10.

Watched at face value, this movie was decent. The jokes were sporadic enough to keep the otherwise monotonous story interesting. As this was a low budget, low production, small time movie, the expectations should not be too high.As for the past comments on stereotypes and lack of plot, this movie was designed to be a spoof of the Bruce Lee/martial arts movies at the time. Yune's character is unable to live up to the stereotypes which have been given to him through Hollywood (eg. Bruce Lee's machismo) and struggles with his identity. As an Asian American, Yune cannot live up to the macho Asian image yet is rejected (possibly as a threat) by the so called "real" white Americans.Unlike Hollywood movies, Yune's character is a regular Asian American male, neither hyper-masculine, feminized, asexual (by his many vulgar jokes), or a confused foreigner (Long Duk Dong). Though not overtly pursed, there seems to be some attraction by Pam Huntington's character towards Yune.Yune's character follows no stereotype, and is instead just a regular Asian American male. In the process, he is able to attract the attention of a white female as well as receive an on-screen kiss – something Bruce Lee, Jet Li (as was cut out of Romeo Must Die), and the apparently three dimensional Jackie Chan have all been unable to achieve in mainstream American media. If this movie ever had the chance to become Hollywood, all the above would have been undoubtedly cut.For the movie's failure to live up to preconceived images and stereotypes of males of Asian descent, alone, I give it an 8/10.As for previous comments on how one should not draw conclusions from a comedy movie, one should not draw conclusions from any movie at all.
