This was a shit movie, bad actor, very weak production, stupid story. unfair for the Legend bruce lee. - @Friday, September 15, 2017 8:22 PM

Why can't progressive Hollywood make a movie about asian men that doesn't involve martial arts. So much for liberalism, unless you are a favored minority. I'm sure a Breakfast at Tiffany's remake is coming, replete with a Mickey Rooney cameo. I guess I can find solace that they used an asian man to portray an asian man in this movie, progress I guess. - @Wednesday, September 13, 2017 1:33 AM

Don't know about the historical or cultural debate regarding the accuracy, etc., but it was sure a fun movie to watch. Very authentic Chinatown atmosphere and great martial arts fight scenes. Don't take it too seriously. Just enjoy....good acting too ! - @Friday, September 8, 2017 5:06 AM

Bruce Lee was such a huge fan of shitty anthemic hip hop, it's nice to see that finally recognized and appreciated. - @Thursday, September 7, 2017 3:35 PM

A movie imitating bruce lee without permission. Only the voice is similar, but others are fakes. - @Saturday, September 2, 2017 6:34 AM

First of all there is absolutely no rap in the movie lol. The musical score is actually very nice. Second the movie is incredible!! I seen it twice and I'm a huge Bruce lee fan. Philip Ng is a way better Bruce lee than any other actor. Of course their are parts of the movie that are complete BS but in its entirety it's an amazing movie - @Thursday, August 31, 2017 5:16 AM

I was right, a movie reviewer already saw this movie, and it is utter garbage and an insult to the legendary Bruce Lee and to his family and fans. According to the movie reviewer, it's mostly about the white guy , Steve fuckin McKee, and Bruce Lee is pushed aside. Fuck you WWE studios for making crap just insult the Aisan community..Fuck you! - @Saturday, August 26, 2017 6:31 PM

Another commentator said it best ( from another birth of a dragon trail or thread ) and that is the is really worth $1.99 in a basket full of worthless movies @ Walmart! Wong Jack Man was no monk, BL does not fly off 50 ft. balcony, is about the white guy white guy white guy romance an Asian girl, and no Linda Lee. WwE studios don't like AMWF couple on screen. It's full of white men @ WWE studios ,so, is their point of view how to do a ( crappy, IMO ) movie with Bruce Lee. WWE is full testerone so big they look Obese. - @Friday, August 25, 2017 2:45 PM

I think Shannon Lee (Bruce's daughter) should direct the real version of Lee's story. Too many people making movies for the sole intent of profit and disregards to history. Shannon should do this before its too late. - @Saturday, August 19, 2017 7:41 PM

Uh, isn't this the guy that dared Bruce to fight? And Bruce accepted and the fight lasted about 30 seconds with the dude lying in a pool of his own blood? What in the world is this crap? - @Saturday, August 19, 2017 5:41 AM

It's a shame that the reviews of this aren't good - and from what I can tell that's well founded, unfortunately. I'm not really aware of Bruce Lee as I never got round to watching many of his movies (I prefer Karate but that's just because I practice it, Lee's martial art looks badass as well though) but it seems like it could have made a good movie with a good message. - @Thursday, August 17, 2017 5:49 PM

Micah Philson

So is this supposed to be a comedy or serious? It has many legends and true stories about Bruce Lee mixed in with half a dozen kung-fu movie cliches, so I'm actually not sure! - @Thursday, August 17, 2017 6:38 AM

There are enough movies by Bruce Lee and documenting Bruce Lee, do we really need another one - simply don't be ignorant and look them up. I don't think we need another movie to exploit the life of Bruce Lee for money. - @Thursday, August 10, 2017 1:50 AM
