1.0 out of 5 stars Don't fall for this cheap trick!, September 22, 1999

This review is from: The Real Bruce Lee (DVD)

i bought this dvd because it is presented as a documentary of Bruce Lee, but beware....it is not! first you get 20 minutes with poor quality (i've seen better of these scenes) black & white scenes of the old chinese bruce lee films. After that in about 2 minutes his lifestory is told (with only pictures). And then you get a complete movie with a imitator called Dragon Lee. Altough he is a pretty good fighter and does a good imitation. This is not what i expected. The movie is very very bad. And it is not Bruce Lee !!! If you're looking for a good DVD documentary of bruce lee, skip this one....it's a fake.!!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars It's a trick !!!, June 12, 2001

This review is from: The Real Bruce Lee (DVD)

I bought this DVD thinking I would get a better insight into the life of Bruce Lee. I was partially right. It has some very early footage of Bruce Lee as a child actor and even a clip where Bruce and his real father acted together. Once this part of the DVD is over though, they leave Bruce Lee all together and go on to tell us about Bruce Li and Dragon Lee (Bruce Lee wannabe actors). More than half of the DVD is about these two "actors". I am greatfull to see what they have about Bruce but the rest of the DVD can be thrown out. It's as though they are trying to make you believe these other two "actors" are as good as Bruce. The first, Bruce Li, has only moderately good martial arts skills. Not even worth watching. The second, Dragon Lee, is a bit better, his skills are good, he kind of, only kind of looks like Bruce. He also tries hard to use many of Bruce's mannerisms. Still, why would they even consider adding these two "actors" to the DVD? It's supposed to be "The Real Bruce Lee" not "The Real Bruce Lee and Two Fakes" !!! I gave this DVD 2 stars because they provide some rare footage of Bruce as a child. The only "real" Bruce worth seeing on this DVD.

This review is from: The Real Bruce Lee [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Well, after ordering and watching this movie, i thought well, this wasn't really that great. There are some Bruce Lee clips and stuff but i thought why would the yshow fake Bruce Lee episodes?..i mean...i'm not paying to watch that stuff. I felt that was just simply a waste of film cuz the martial arts was pretty bad as well...anyhow, i guess if your a bruce lee fan like me, you would order it otherwise, don't buy it!
