5 of 5 A movie to watch over and over again Friday, November 26, 1999
A Viewer from Jacksonville, Florida
A dramatic version of Bruce Lee's life with an excellent performance of acting and martial arts technique by Jason Scott Lee. I wish it was longer. Bruce Lee will live on in this movie. He paved the way for martial arts in the movies and for Oriental actors in Hollywood! Watch also: 'Enter the Dragon'. Was this review helpful?
