They shouldn't've made this...


As much as I love Bruce, I think this should've been shelved. It does him really very little justice.
(& I realize there was much money to be made at the time & plenty of others here have likely said the same)

But in (my) perfect world, they would've used the real BL footage from this film for tribute or documentary purposes only.

That's an understatement. It was just a determination to squeeze every last buck from his legacy that saw its appearance, 5 years after his death (which IMO, is enough of an indictment anyway).🐭

Raymond Chow should hang his head in shame for giving this the green light. I had always thought he was a good friend of the Lees but obviously not.

At the very least it gave Sammo Hung a bit of a leg up when he directed the fight scenes and the score by John Barry is great.

The rest is garbage.

Didn't anybody have any brains back then to make it a documentary like they did years later in A WARRIOR'S JOURNEY ?
