Postolar Tripper - Bore Lee

Bruce Lee from Zagora

Golden Sticks - first movie in indepedent Montenegro

Boris Ivković, better known by his stage name Bore Lee is a Croatian martial arts enthusiast and amateur filmmaker from Sinj.

Ship-builder by trade and a great fan of Bruce Lee, he studied martial arts from an early age. In 1994 he began displaying his skills on short low budget martial arts films that were recorded on a VHS camera. Gradually, those films became underground sensations in his native town of Sinj and the shooting of these films on city streets became a popular spectacle.

Bore Lee's fame reached Zagreb when a group of four filmmakers decided to make a film with Bore, titled Bore Lee-U Kandzama Velegrada (In the Claws of the Big City) 2004, a low budget martial arts parody that later turned out to be the most popular trash film in Croatian cinema.In 2005, once again with the same 4 filmakers and this time with a slightly better low budget, Bore Lee appeared in his 8th film titled Bore Lee-"Cuvaj se Sinjske Ruke" Bore Lee: Deadly Sinjs!.
Also, with this movie, Bore Lee, became famous all over Croatia, and very soon, in neighbouring countries ( Bore Lee was invited in Montenegro, where he also made his movie, "Golden Sticks" - this is videospot from that movie, authors of music are hip-hop stars from Montenegro - Mc Marko & Mc Niggor ).

Some his movies featured some prominent Croatian celebrities, as well as plenty of pop culture references and healthy humour (although film tries to be serious). As a result, it soon became one of the most popular films in recent Croatian history. In later movies, Bore Lee attracted more Croatian celebrities.

Sorry for Kung Fu

Sorry for Kung Fu (2004)
Starring: Daria Lorenci, Filip Rados Director: Ognjen Svilicic
"Sorry for Kung Fu" is a dark comedy showing the tragedy of life, but also shows the natural humor of Croatian rural element. Places that the director Svilicic chose for filming are great in their nudity, and actors are very natural and expressive. What we can appreciated the most is a keen contrast between humorous and tragic element.

Short plot: When young Mira comes back to her modest home after time spent in Germany, and also pregnant she will be faced with the harsh life back with her parents who desperately try to find her a husband suitable for her delicate situation, of course against her will. Tis will lead to numerous absurd and tragic situations, especially after the child is born.
