Growing up as a little girl Bruce Lee was like a super hero. My uncles studied martial arts because of Bruce and his movies. I’m from the Bay Area and grew up watching Martial Arts movies. Bruce Lee is The Man and will always have a special place in my heart.
Linda Lee puts it brilliantly..."Bruce was an old soul, steeped in thousands of years of Philosophy, who just came to visit us for a little while". No one would have said it better and the reason there will never be anyone like him ever again.
That man looks and sounds Absolutely lethal, I was there in 1973 when i saw Enter the dragon, and never tired of seeing it. His philosophys are intresting, he was Amazing !!!
“Bruce Lee is still a legend of Martial Arts, his movies and his styles have inspired many fans around world, after his tragic death, the world has lost Bruce Lee, may his spirit rest in peace” - Dragon
According to his wife and daughter, the reason why BL did not show up for two weeks when they started shooting Enter of Dragon was not due to his nervousness (as it is presented in documentary), but because the script was shit and the producers refused to amend it by his valuable remarks. Finally the film was shot totally by the BL's script.
His film, Enter the Dragon, solidified his status as the best on-screen Kung-Fu fighter of all time. He developed the famous Intercepting Fist from the Chinese Wing Chun style for close hand-to-hand combat, but it was his high and fast kicks that were most feared and unique. Bruce Lee saw the importance of outward physical strength as just as important as the inner chi in the modern ways of fighting. He gained valuable experience challenging the schools of different fighting techniques at the time in the United States. His films demonstrate his unparalleled kung fu skills at such a high level of fluency and effectiveness that even the layman can appreciate. After 50 years, his techniques and persona are still being imitated and talked about with amazement and admiration around the globe. His accomplishments are comparable to:
1) Bruce Lee in Martial Arts
2) Muhammad Ali in Boxing
3) Steve Jobs in personal communication
4) Michael Phelps in swimming
5) Michael Jordan in basketball
6) Michael Jackson in pop music
7) Rafael Nadal in French Open Tennis
8) Bobby Fisher in Chess
9) Stephen King in horror novel
