ShadowTek ShadowTek here...Well.. if you want a fun movie to watch.. its a great and entertaining movie.. it really is.. if you want to watch a biography about Bruce Lee.. 99.9% of this film is fake and 100% of the film is an insult to his legacy.. cause almost NOTHING in this film is true... 1. There was never a fight with Navy guys as the movie shows in the beginning..2. As above that was not the reason he left.3. The Lee family was RICH.. and Bruce was far from an only child. So that whole "saved up money" and the "cops were called so you have to go" crap was just that... crap.4. He did work at a restaurant.. but the fight in the movie never happened. The loan never happened.5. The whole racist thing in college never happened. That was propagated by among others the Lee family.6. The stop teaching white people and black people is fake.. thus the whole underground fight stuff is 100% fake.7. Um. Bruce hurt his back weightlifting.. not in some secret underground fight.8. There was never a re-match in some ring.. in fact as the reason for that rematch never happened.. well.. do the math.. He did attend that event mentioned however... he demonstrated his 1-inch punch and his one and two finger pushups.. that video is all over the place.. yes you can find it online.. lots of versions of it.9. He never wrote or published a book.. his wife did from notes he made after his death.10. The fight on the set of the Big Boss movie (I think that was the movie set in they were saying took place) never happened.. not in that or any other movie.11. The whole chasing Bruce down scene to make movies in Hong Kong.. see a pattern here? Never happened.10. The entire movie is 100% fiction.. literally NOTHING in the movie happened..In other words.. the entire movie is fake.. nothing in the movie actually happened... BUT.. if you look at the life of Bruce Lee from an alternate universe of what COULD have happened.. well.. it is a great movie in that aspect :)ShadowTek

gavijayawardene wonderful story , it was truly a nice story it was heart warming and sad at the same time , it even teaches how racism can hurt people's feeling. there were parts that made me enjoy and the movie just stole my heart . the only part that i didn't like is the performance of the Bruce lee ,his was good at it but it felt like he is doing a comedy show but i don't know maybe the real Bruce lee was a funny guy but when i imagine Bruce lee i always imagine a character like harry potter or rocky but i don't but for as the film goes he did a pretty good job , overall great movie it deserves a good recognition among people i say give it a watch .

Dan Pham Lost track of how many times I have seen this movie. A multitude of times growing up and is still one of my favorites.Jason Scott Lee does an amazing job of portraying Bruce Lee. An epic tail, great story, the hardships, and love, making this a great all around film.Being an Asian male born and raised in the western world may be one of the reasons I have a certain connection to the film more than others but I can't see why others wouldn't be able to relate.None the less, this movie has given me lots of inspiration, and recommend this film for anyone else who is seeking some great vision or just wondering who Bruce Lee was; because this film does an excellent job of displaying his life.

wlb I just watched the DVD I bought - based on John Nolte of Big Hollywood's recommendation. I knew just the bare outline of Bruce Lee's story.I have to say it is an amazing story. That being said I have read other reviews of people - fans of Bruce Lee, who say that the movie contains inaccuracies, such as the reason he left Hong Kong for America.His actual wife Linda (nicely portrayed by Lauren Holly) said that the movie captures his personality and while this movie is really the only thing I have to base my opinions on (unlike other reviewers who obviously have had other material) - the fact that his wife has endorsed this movie tells me that the main facts - are intact. She also said that Jason Scott Lee portrayed Bruce Lee perfectly. While he was not trained in martial arts (but was a gymnast from what I have heard) I think he "channeled" Bruce Lee. The movie shows the adversity Lee overcame - physical, spiritual and prejudicial in America - to become a world wide phenomena.It is an inspirational movie.ADDENDUM: I just talked with a good friend of mine who emigrated from Hong Kong in the late 1960s, went to Delta College in Stockton, CA where he met Robert Lee, brother of Bruce Lee. Apparently Bruce Lee's mother lived in Stockton a short time, too. About 1970 he drove Robert & a few other friends down to Los Angeles one weekend where he actually met Bruce. A couple of stories: Bruce had a good sense of humor and sang some Chinese opera with words rewritten by him, on the risqué side. Also there were a few people there who were martial arts enthusiasts and Bruce gave a small demonstration - he asked one of them to stand while he put his fist on his chest, flicked his wrist and the fellow fell went back a few steps just from the power of Bruce's wrist. Anyway from what my friend knows of Bruce from meeting him and knowing his brother he says the movie is pretty accurate as to the main events in Lee's life. And according to my friend, Bruce left Hong Kong because the police were looking for him,just as the movie depicts.
