"This is without doubt the best Bruce Lee documentary for sale. I say this because the very best one was the first BIOGRAPHY that A&E aired in the early 90's, but due to not having secured the legal rights, they were forced to destroy the master print and make a new one (the one on this review). It is a shame, because if this one is still a five star bio, the other one was a true masterpiece of editing, color, soundtrack, rarer clips from Lee's appeareance in tv shows like IRONSIDE and training footage.And seemed like it was put together as a labor of love. This one is excellent too, but lacks the depth and warm of the other one. Still highly recommendable though."

"If someone told me "Bruce Lee was a philosopher" a few years ago, I would have laughed out loud.
I've loved Bruce Lee as Martial Arts expert/performer/action_movie-pioneer for years and years, but the stuff I read about Bruce Lee's philosophy and ideas in general was always muddy, oddly put together, and or tough to read.
This bio is concise, informative, and not repetitive the way a lot of early A&E Biographies were. And of course, the best thing about this DVD, is that you see and understand that Bruce Lee was more than a physical phenom that moved (more than anyone I've ever seen) in what could be posted in wikipedia as "Poetry in Motion.""

"This Biography in my opinion was definately one of the best introductions to how Bruce really was. It shows and tells about him as a person all around, a 360 degree profile. From when he was acting as a boy, to becoming the martial arts master he lives on through this documentary of the legend that is Bruce Lee. Out of all his movies, this is the one I've probably watched the most. It helps capture the essence of his character. A very inspirational telling about his art and the steps he had to take in order to achieve the level of fluidity and beauty he produced, or better yet, was produced through him. 5 out of 5 most definately"
Wonderful Biography

"This is the Biography to have. For me, Bruce Lee is and always has been the most inspirational person in my life. Setting goals and making the personal effort (and sacrifices) to achieve them is a hallmark of Master Lee. As the years go by (today's my 51st birthday), I still look at Bruce and see new things. I couldn't have discovered a better role model for my life. I constantly refine my understanding of Bruce and see things in him today that even I had somehow overlooked before. I never thought this possible, but I'm still discovering the genious of this individual. Great Bio - superb human being... Robert, I'm still waiting for your film on the "real" brother beyond "Dragon...""
