"Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey" is rife with a lot of footage from Bruce Lee that you may not have seen. Added to that are interviews with former students of his such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, former associates, and his wife.
Like most insightful and intelligent people Bruce Lee evolved personally and spiritually. His most significant changes came in what he considered the best fighting style. He went from Chinese Kung-Fu, to his own style known as Wing-Chun, to saying "no way" is the best way. In other words, it wasn't the style that made the fighter good or bad, but the fighter him or herself. Put another way it's not the dog in the fight, but the fight in the dog.
We get a lot of Bruce Lee's philosophy on fighting, Hollywood, and life. Most interesting to me was what happened with "Game of Death" and why it was such a disaster. He began working on that movie and then pulled off of it to shoot "Enter the Dragon." His plans were to return to "Game of Death", but fatefully, he died before getting that chance. Golden Harvest Studios in Hong Kong produced the rest of the film with a different storyline and a look alike for Lee's role. It was a catastrophe.
Bruce lived a full life that many would relish in his brief time on Earth. In only 32 short years he had a major impact on the world. His brilliance and his zest comes through nicely in "Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey."
