In Praise of New Blood

 

IPOE is excited to welcome Bert and Mimi Cortman as the newest writers to our humble blog.

We met the Cortmans when they were among a group of infected trying to break into our compound.  We were able to fend off the other interlopers with garlic and flaming arrows, but we struck up a conversation with Bert and Mimi and discovered that they are big fans of exploitation movies.

Before the plague killed off and turned the majority of Earth's population into undead, blind vampires, Bert was an electrician and Mimi was a social worker.  They loved horror and sci-fi prior to the plague and continued so into their shambling, bloodsucking afterlife.

Bert is a true wordsmith, gifted with a love for puns and a talent for crafting clever, witty turns of phrase.

Mimi infuses her writings with an undead humanist perspective and approaches her work as a meticulous researcher. Some might say her craving for knowledge is matched only by her craving for the blood of the uninfected.

We promise you’ll be seeing plenty of contributions from this talented couple.

Here’s to a long partnership filled with plenty of blog posts ahead—or a stake through their hearts, whichever comes first.

In Praise of The Clones of Bruce Lee Part VIII

 

They say that the world of Bruce Lee Clones is like a flour sack . . . The more you shake it, the more falls out.

Here is another new one to us.  Bruce Pele.

In THAT DRAGON FROM RIO (1977), rumors are swirling along the beach that a local crime boss has joined forces with an Asian terrorist group.  Bruce (code name Dragon), an INTERPOL agent, is dispatched to Brazil, going undercover as a spirited maraca player in a samba group. His mission is to stop any dangerous schemes that might come out of the evil alliance.

Filmed in Rio on the cheaper side of cheap, THAT DRAGON FROM RIO is not top tier clone goodness, but a lively actioner.
