For years i was subjected to the other well known doc. Bruce lee: The Man, The Myth, and as a young kid i knew this doc. was done poorly. WHAT I failed to understand at that young age (i was 9 at the time) was that a lot of Bruce lee's life was not well known yet. I later hoped that a documentary telling more of lee's life as we learned more through time from friends, family, and former students would someday be made.
Fast forward 17 years, this doc comes out and it was incredible. So much more was discovered about his life since that made him an even more mythical human being since his passing. It's amazing how many things were influenced by him, from various types of workouts to protein drinks before all that became popular in mainstream culture.
However, the best was saved for last......the original 41 min of footage he filmed for the game of death before he stopped production to film Enter The Dragon and was left incomplete due to his passing. I can only imagine how awesome this film would have been if it was completed. it probably would have topped Enter The Dragon as the greatest martial arts epic ever.
If you haven't seen this film yet and you are a Bruce lee fan.......BUY IT.......Don't RENT IT! BUY IT!!!!!
