Bruce Lee is universally recognized as the pioneer who elevated martial arts in film to an art form, and this documentary will reveal why Bruce Lee's flame burns brighter now than the day he died over three decades ago.
There's about 30 decent minutes here. The rest is various pugilists/bad boys/pop singers bigging themselves up.
Reverential.
Martial arts fans, and particularly Mixed martial arts followers, are the target audience of this amiable fan-letter tribute to Bruce Lee.
Pete McCormack's film is a salute to the legend, but it gets nowhere near to uncovering the man.
There are few surprises and the eulogising is laid on too thick but, for casual fans, it’ll do.
Well-researched and essential viewing for Bruce Lee fans.
It's a protective film, carefully supervised by Lee's family.
