MovieBuffMarine This movie was my introduction to the martial arts icon. When I was a kid, I first saw "Bruce Lee: the Man, the Myth" on San Diego's (then independent) TV station XETV channel 6 when they showed old movies to include imported movies like this one.This movie got me interested in the martial arts icon. I had never heard of Bruce Lee until I saw this. Bruce Li delivers in the title role in fight sequences blended well with the chronology of his life (which is captured accurately).While this in my opinion is a good biopic, it does lean heavily on the fight scenes; a product of the "Bruceploitation" era. While not the quick chop-chop scenes of the subject matter (when you watch Bruce Li and Bruce Lee fights, you will see an obvious difference!), I thought the fight scenes were choreographed and put together well.Years later as an adult, I caught the movie again and while I (now) think of it as pretty cheesy, it still brings enjoyable moments for me even if parts were embellished for artistic license. (I noticed they didn't try to "back date" the sets: they wore 1970's clothes and drove '70's vehicles in the 1960's sequences!)Even as I have learned more about the real Lee since seeing this, I still have fond memories of this flick and still enjoy it hands down.Is this accurate? Too fictionalized? Embellished? Maybe all of the above. But in my opinion, it captured Mr. Lee in a good light, not 100% mind you, but a good biopic (be it accurate and/or with embellishments, even a "Bruceploitation one!) should motivate you to look up the person it is based on. "Bruce Lee: the Man, the Myth" definitely does!

benoitlelievre I bought this movie in a Bruce Lee box set and damn....if I thought I had seen the last of the cinema garbages already, lord knows I was wrong. Damn this movie is bad. This is so bad that it's laughable, than so so bad than you get tired to laugh and you start to swear and pray for the movie to end. I watched it until the end just to say I did it but damn it was hard.Bruce Lee would surely make a 360 in his tomb to see that thing. Post synchrony problems(common to Kung Fu movies), Bruce doing weird weird stuff with machines in a secret laboratory(he even soaks his hands in what appears to me being Kool-aid) and most of all, no mention of what the true spirit of Jeet Kune Do is about. No mention of his historical meeting with Judo Gene Lebell. Just cheesy fighting...and this kind of cheesy sh*t isn't fun to watch. Avoid this Bruce Lee movie at all costs.

BRENDAN I got this movie on a dvd, along with three other Bruce Lee tribute movies, for about $2.50 each. This one beat the lot of them. It has amazing action scenes and lots of em. There were some confusing excercise machines that were shown, but overall it was a good movie. Bruce Li actually did a good job of acting in his part, it was certainly believable (the acting not the plot). If you can find this you have to watch it!I give it 7/10

scott_thai I would give this movie 2/10 for the acting. 10/10 for the fights. The star (Bruce Li) was much, much better and played the party of Bruce Lee well. The version I saw was of DVD and seemed to have parts missing from it.I'm not really sure how much was fact or fiction. I would say that most was fiction. It's a shame we did not get to see the real Bruce Lee. It's a shame that he is not alive today. Bruce Lee was more than just a star, but a politician and promoter of peace.The training scenes were excellent. The fight scenes were excellent. Bruce Lee fans will enjoy this film and so will Martial Arts fans. Regular movie goers should stay away. Overall I gave it 7/10.
