Observation on the "Legend of Bruce Lee" production

Definitely, the "Legend of Bruce Lee" needs the Cantonese and English versions. At least the subtitles be in English to make it complete.

This is the first time I have ever seen a martial art production that depicts the details on how and why in addition to demonstrations. For martial art lovers, this is the ultimate treasure. The quality of production equates the "Saving Private Ryan" and Jet Li's "Huo Yuan Jia".

In a lot of ways, Bruce Lee resembled the Chinese national hero, Huo Yuan Jia. They are determined, fearless, crazy about martial art and creative (they both created their own styles), but most important of all, they love their own country and hated their countrymen being called the "Sickmen of East Asia".

I have bought the DVD and recommend it to my friends. I will watch it over and over to enjoy it more.
