    Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
    filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
    Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
    Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
    Aliyen I'm a big Bruce Lee fan, own a few of his biographies, and have read a lot about his life on the Internet. Judging by some of the past reviews, I know this series is not going to please the die-hard fanatics who insist that every facet of his life be represented accurately on the screen. Most hardcore Lee fans know, for instance, that Bruce Lee was injured in the gym in 1970, not in the Wong Jack Man fight as portrayed in this series.However, despite many historical inaccuracies, this is still a great and watchable drama. I feel like if I want to learn more about Bruce Lee's actual life, then I'll stick to firsthand sources like Leo Fong and Linda Lee. But if I want to be entertained by a series which features very skilled acting, directing, incredible pacing (each episode focuses on a small event in the fictional Bruce Lee's life and gives appropriate time to each of these segments), this is not the worst show for that.
    jseif-00393 Better than the movie "The Dragon" that's for sure. Sure this is a low budget movie and most scenes (in America) were filmed with modern cars, but you can simply by-pass all of this if you think about the character Bruce Lee himself. Danny Chan did an outstanding job. He deserves more roles in acting.
    Colin Greenwood This series is so bad i had to actually reset password just so i can come on here and vent!.Netflix recently added this and being a lee fan felt i must watch....This series is simply horrible and non factual and virtually all made up for example this is meant to be set in the 50s - 60s yet Bruce goes to a boxing gym and there's a black gentleman randomly wearing a full Glasgow Celtic football club football strip with shirt and shorts and socks and boxing gloves with the Nike logo from around 2004 not to mention all the cars and food items and things from our time being all around him.Theme song is HORRIFIC made a point of skipping it every episode.And what is with all the anti British hate at the start??? Claiming the reason Bruce was always fighting was because racist British school kids were bullying him WHAT? And that he longed to batter the British and teach us a lesson WHAT? in reality He fought with Chinese triads sons and this led to his parents having to send him away from Hong Kong yet this film makes out that the Chinese in Hong Kong hated the British and were bullied by them and that Bruce hated the British. Yet in real life Hong Kong and majority of its people is actively trying to rejoin the UK and campaigning for it. First few episodes are virtually all anti British garbage.There's nothing about Bruce being a child movie actor at all no mention of it at all only a posh private British school where hes apparently bullied by the British kids and has to fight them all the time as hes racially oppressed by them but it actually ends up coming across as hes being the racist one.The series is badly made and full of awful racial stereotypes like IP man for example with the big beard. And whats with Bruces psycho father? Bruce is bad at school so his father says you fight again i will break both your legs what???? Then stands waiting on his son with a big spear to beat him with OK.....There's so much wrong with it i cant even begin to get it all down and i never leave reviews for anything on here but this garbage virtually forced me to leave a review here and the guys leaving these amazing fantastical reviews on here for this series must surely be being paid to do this or suffer from some sort of mental retardation.This series is about as factually and historically accurate as Mel Gibsons Braveheart! In short a made up fantasy. Totally disgusting this series does nothing but use the Bruce Lee name for gain while having no heart no good acting nothing except Brucesploitation.Watch Dragon the Bruce lee story movie or the immortal dragon both are far far better than this whole series. I get the feeling the makers just hated the UK and just made up the whole of Bruce's life in Hong Kong to be about hating the British
