Bruce Le (simplified Chinese: 吕小龙; traditional Chinese: 呂小龍; pinyin: Lǚ Xiǎolóng; born June 5, 1950) is a martial artist and actor known for his martial arts film of the 1970s and 1980s. Most of these were inexpensively produced and were made to capitalise on the martial arts phenomenon started by Bruce Lee, whose death in 1973 left a large box office void (hence the name change to "Bruce Le").
Bruce Le was a contract player for the Shaw Brothers, where he appeared in the science fiction opus Infra-Man. He is better known, however, for his Bruce Lee–inspired "tribute" films, also known as "Bruceploitation".
Bruce Le has been credited by some video companies as appearing in the films Cobra, Return of Fist of Fury, and Bruce is Loose, but this is untrue.
