- Quotes
Mantis: [From dialogue cantonese with the English subtitles] His big advantage is that he gives no thought to life or death. And with no distracting thoughts, he is therefore free to concentrate on fighting against the attack from outside.
Mantis: [From dialogue cantonese with the English subtitles] With his great size, he is going to find it difficult to keep getting up each time I knock him down.
Mantis: [From dialogue cantonese with the English subtitles] Look at him. Give him the fatigue bombing!
Mantis: [From dialogue cantonese with the English subtitles] I'm so tired. No, no! Hai Tien, he must be much more tired than you. Calm down your soul.

Featured review
not to be missed
This is a fantastic documentary, both in terms of narration and information about Bruce, but even moreso in terms of the footage shown. More impressive than the 'new' Game of Death footage is the footage of Lee practicing at his Los Angeles home, and, most of all, his philosophical remarks in the episodes of "Longstreet". Those scenes are just incredible, such as his statement to James Fransiscus "Like everyone, you want to WIN, but you must be prepared to die", said in complete earnestness, with a very early-1970s flute playing in the background. When was the last time you heard anything like that on television or film? In any case, this is a beautiful tribute to Bruce as the complex, philosophical, extraordinarily passionate human being he was. You will not be disappointed.
