Bruce Li
Bruce Li (Chinese: 何宗道; pinyin: Hé Zōngdào; born Ho Chung-tao; 5 June 1950) is a Chinese martial artist and actor who starred in martial arts films from the Bruceploitation movement.
Ho Chung-tao went to play a stuntman in Taiwan and Hong Kong under the name of James Ho.[citation needed]
After the death of Bruce Lee, Ho's acting career began. Hong Kong studios believed that Ho had the ability to pick up where Lee left off and cast him in similar types of martial arts films. They first cast him in Conspiracy. Afterwards, the producers of Game of Death asked Ho to finish their movie in Lee's role, but he declined.
Afterward, he was employed by producer/actor Jimmy Shaw, who gave him the name of Bruce Li.[citation needed]
While Ho was finishing his military service, he appeared in Goodbye Bruce Lee: His Last Game of Death. He starred in other Bruceploitation pictures in 1976 with The Young Bruce Lee and Bruce Lee: The Man, The Myth.[citation needed]
Using the name Bruce Li, some Taiwanese and Hong Kong producers[who?] decided to directly credit him as Bruce Lee, even going so far as to use the real Bruce Lee's picture on posters. Ho even appeared in Bruce Lee Against Supermen, where he stars as Kato (Carter in the English dub version), a role loosely based on the Green Hornet's Kato played by Lee.
In 1975, Dragon Dies Hard became a hit in Japan, where it earned ¥2 billion ($6.7 million) at the box office.
The producers really wanted to show Li as the "official" successor to Bruce Lee. In the 1976 movie Exit the Dragon, Enter the Tiger, Li meets Lee, who says Li should replace him. The film's title relates to Lee being dubbed the Dragon and Li the Tiger. Li appeared in Return of the Tiger starring Angela Mao. In it, Li fights Paul L. Smith.[citation needed]
