slaX0 Review of They Still Call Me Bruce

They Still Call Me Bruce (1987)

Pure 80's Cheese

[10/10 · 25 November 2002]

And I luv every last minute of it

I saw this movie as a youngen about a million times on cable in the 80's

Through the 90's I had about 10 years to totally forget about this movie that I had liked so much

Well when I re-discovered this film in 2001 I had to get my hands on it ASAP again to see if it would stand the test of time

Guess What?It did and then some

I like this movie now more then ever(one of my top 5)

It never takes itself seriously and never really drags as the story is constantly moving

the entire movie is based around Bruce(Johnny Yune) trying to find Private Brown who saved his life during the Korean war

Throughout the movie Bruce is constantly side tracked from his pursuit of Private Brown

The ending is pretty good to as it makes you think it's going to end on a 50% down note as Bruce wins the tournament which is the plus but Private Brown the man he's been looking for turns out to be the evil crime lord...or does he ;)

Overall I don't think anyone today would enjoy this movie

But fans of feel-good cheesey 80's movies should appreciate this.
