Bruce Lee was a breakthrough actor who popularized kung-fu action movies worldwide. He made about a million of them, and when he died, everyone else made a million of them without him, sometimes using his likeness without permission. Lee-sploitation was a big genre for a while.

One afternoon a vicious mobster is captured, and then dies at the police station due to unexplained circumstances.
