I don't think it was a sequel, but there have been at least a couple
of similarly structured films. The one you're thinking of is probably
Nat'l Lampoon's The Groove Tube, although it might be Amazon Women on the
Moon.

'Lo

Does anyone know of any "recent," decent Jackie Chan films released with
English dubbing. I've seen "Jackie Chan's Police Force I," which came out on
video here, but do not know if any others are available. I hear that "Police
Force III" will be making rounds in L.A. again soon. Does anyone know
anything 'bout that?

Also, I rented John Landis' Kentucky Fried Movie recently and had memory
flashes of a _very similar film._ This pic' had similar commercial spoofs,
and skits, yet was a bit racier, more drug jokes, etc. Was this a sequal?

Thanks

Nope, that was Johnny Yune. Kentucky Fried Movie spoofed Bruce Lee's Enter
the Dragon (The segment was called A Fist Full Of Yen).

Perhaps _They Call Me Bruce_? I remember seeing this many moons


ago. I think it was Jackie Chan. Pretty funny at the time...

As many Korean film buffs will know, _They Call Me Bruce_ starred the short
lived Korean film sensation named Johnny Yoon, not Jackie Chan.

No, no, it was definately not Jackie Chan. I can't recall his name right
now, but it wasn't Jackie. He was relatively unknown (and still is). :)

I second that. I have seen all the Jackie Chan Movies from HK and US even the ones
without martial arts, and he definitely wasn't in 'They Call me Bruce'.

I think the actor in that film was American Korean or Japanese. His Martial Arts
was lousy by the way!

Ok... One more time for the west coast... It was Johnny Yune.
