Bruce Lee vs Gay Power

The world of exploitation cinema is seemingly inexhaustible. When you think you’ve seen—or at least heard of—every grind house flick that the 70s had to offer, a gem like Brazil’s “Bruce Lee vs Gay Power” comes on your radar screen. There isn’t much about this “Brucesplotation” gem anywhere on the Internet—it’s almost mythical, have any of you seen it?—but here is a description from Super Strange Video:

Bruce (Adriano Stuart) discovers his parents have been murdered by a roving gang of homosexuals (or cangaceiros, as they’re called in Portuguese). Then, with his Karate kicking girlfriend along to assist him, he vows revenge on these hooligans and sets out to systematically murder them all, until street justice has been served.

I think this is actually a Kung Fu comedy, but it’s hard to say. The “gays” here tend to look more like, um, pirates to me—and there is an awful lot of hair pulling for a Kung Fu film—but what do I know? I have to see this!
