They Call Me Bruce? (1982)

He enters the gospel meeting Martial arts spoof comedy. A Korean man (Johnny Yune) looks like Bruce Lee, and gets some street cred from the fact, to his surprise. He's actually an inoffensive man earning a living as a cook.

After some minor escapades, he gets involved on the side of law and order in exposing a criminal gang in the USA. When the gang are on to him, he has to escape quickly, and he dives into a wig boutique for cover. There are a number of dummies and he slips on some kind of robe and a fright wig and poses as one of the dummies. Nearly getting found out when the crooks come in the shop, he runs for it and goes into a gospel meeting.

All good simple fun, and well done on a low budget. However it's interesting to watch the differences between this, a low budget spoof, and a real Bruce Lee film, where the fight scenes are a thousand times more convincing.
