So Bruce Lee(actually Bruce Li since the real Lee died 3 years earlier) goes around and gets into a bunch of fights to prove how awesome his jeet kune do style of kung fu is. While the movie poster assures us this is "ALL TRUE" I have my doubts about that. This sorta biopic does present us with a super-heroic version of Lee and hits on his accomplishments but it's all pretty goofy and is presented better in that Hollywoodized DRAGON: THE BRUCE LEE STORY movie. As much as it pains me to admit that Hollywood has ever done anything better than Hong Kong they at least did get the facts quite a bit more accurate. This cheapy cash-in is OK for a stupid Sunday afternoon watch but is ultimately pretty forgettable in the sea of similar Brucesploitation films from this era. AKA THE DRAGON LIVES(which is also the alias of a different Bruce Lee biopic called HE'S A LEGEND, HE'S A HERO to confuse things even more)
