Editorial Reviews

A video tribute to a martial arts legend, Bruce Lee. Examined are his early years in Hong Kong and his journey to Hollywood, his role of Kato on the TV series 'The Green Hornet', and his years as the martial arts instructor to the stars. Lee's spectacular rise to superstardom through his Kung Fu films is detailed, with a revealing look at both the on-screen action and behind the scenes controversy. Celebrity interviews include actor James Coburn talking about Lee as a teacher and collaborator, and actress Diane McBain on Lee's Kato years. Lee's successors in martial arts cinema are profiled, and theories offered about mysterious deaths of Bruce Lee and his son Brandon. Plus rare footage and more! Although his life was cut short at the age of 32, Bruce Lee-- through his movies and his teachings-- will forever be remembered as the Immortal Dragon!

Bonus Material: Martial Arts At The Movies A fabulous collection of Kung Fu coming attractions, featuring Bruce Lee trailers for all his films, plus trailers for other martial artists, including unbeatable Steven Seagal, the indomitable Chuck Norris, and the one and only Jackie Chan! Martial arts at it’s finest!

3.0 out of 5 stars A Pretty Good Documentary, December 7, 2003

This review is from: Bruce Lee - Immortal Dragon (DVD)

I saw this episode of Biography under the new title "Bruce Lee - Immortal Dragon" on a low-priced DVD. While it doesn't go into enormous detail and is relatively short, it is still a pretty entertaining and complete version of Bruce Lee's life. I would reccommend it mostly to aspiring fans of Lee. One part of the documentary that I liked was a nifty section on the many Bruce Lee imitators that came after Lee's death. Like most documentaries found in the bargain bin, the film clips are mostly from public domain sources.
As an extra feature, the DVD contains trailers for Bruce Lee's "The Chinese Connection," "Fists of Fury," "Enter the Dragon," and "Return of the Dragon," as well as trailers for Jackie Chan's "The Big Brawl," Steven Seagal's "Above the Law," and Chuck Norris' "The Octagon" and "A Force of One." All of these trailers are pretty entertaining. The biggest shortcoming of the DVD is that it contains no chapter stops - this is a source of frustration.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good deal for the price, July 17, 2002

This review is from: Bruce Lee - Immortal Dragon (DVD)

This DVD looks to be the same show that A&E aired as their biography of Bruce Lee (1 hour version). The quality of the transfer is good - both picture and sound - but not great.

Two things that annoyed me are:
1) Several motion clips and stills were used over and over, detracting from the generally good quality of the production and
2) The "extras" consist solely of several trailers for martial arts movies, some of which Bruce Lee had nothing to do with.

Still, for ten bucks, it's a good deal.
