An Insult To Master Lee...


This is no way for a daughter to honor her father.

Despite the ludicrously absurd and almost completely fabricated bio story, Lee is presented as an arrogant jerk with a huge inferiority complex. He is given credit for many things he never did, and not given credit for his more significant actual accomplishments.

Of all the Bruceploitation films ever made, this is among the worst. Of course this isn't the first time Shannon has used to good Lee name to promote absurd nonsense such as WMAC Masters which presented itself as a martial arts competition but was nothing more than the WWF of the martial arts world (something not needed or desired).

The real Bruce Lee was a hero of mine growing up, his actual life story is far more impressive than this absurd video game fantasy. It saddens me greatly that an entire generation will accept much of it as the truth.

Agreed. Shannon was but 4 years old when Lee died. How would she remember such events so vividly? She wouldn't. The producers probably didn't even attempt to contact any of Lee's remaining students for their input/consultation to make it more accurate. Taky Kimura could've been approached, Chuck Norris, etc.. Just a quick cash grab on someones part. Weird and sad that even a factual film like 'My Brother, Bruce Lee' was disowned or blocked by his domestic family in the U.S. Donnie Yen's amazing IP MAN series had to do extensive rewrites because the training of teen Lee Jun Fan was off limits. Why?

Are you aware that the title of this show is The LEGEND of Bruce Lee, not The TRUE STORY of Bruce Lee?

LOL... the "Fantasy Saga of Bruce Lee" is more like it then.

As you're someone who has studied his life what would you say is the best book/movie/tv series about Bruce Lee?
