The plot is cheerfully idiotic.

Audience Reviews for They Call Me Bruce?

For the most part this movie is very funny, and I liked Yune, but the story is very familiar and predictable.

HAHA - haven't seen this in years. When was this made? 1982 - I remember watching on HBO...have to get it and see it again.

Cheap but funny. We got a huge laugh out of this as kids. Re-watching as an adult wasn't as fun. But there's still a lot of good scenes. I like how "Bruce" would threaten his enemies with his hands. Some of the humour is groan-inducing. It's a curious comedy from the 80's decade not unlike the Police Academy series.
