    • Trivia
      Bruce Lee said, "I was chosen for the role of Kato in The Green Hornet (1966), because I was the only Chinese man to correctly pronounce Britt Reid."
    • Quotes

      Self - Narrator: Kung Fu was not Bruce's only interest outside of movies at that time. He was quite a snappy dancer and in 1958 won a Hong Kong Cha-Cha Championship.

    • Crazy credits
      "The void is that which stands right in the middle of 'this' and 'that'. The void is all-inclusive, having no opposite - there is nothing which it excludes or opposes. It is a living void, because all forms come out of it and whoever realizes the void is filled with life and power and the love of all things." Bruce Lee "The Tao of Jeet Kune Do"
    • Connections
      Edited into Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do (1995)

    interesting, but very incomplete

    A tribute to the incomparable kung-fu master. It includes rare footage of his athletic capabilities and interviews with some of the people who knew him. Produced by Golden Harvest, it is light on details of Lee's early life and heavy on the details of his films for Golden Harvest. As such, it leaves out several interesting and important incidents from Lee's life, and gives short shrift to what is arguably Lee's most important film "Enter the Dragon". It also focuses heavily on some of his co-stars from his early Hong King films, and makes no mention of his most prominent co-stars, Chuck Norris and John Savage. It's difficult to say just who its intended audience is since dedicated Lee fans will find it uninformative, yet casual fans may find the immense amount of detail about his early films tedious.
