I Am Bruce Lee (2012 TV Movie)
7/10
TV biopic
24 June 2018
This is a documentary about the legendary icon. It has contribution from a lot of people including his widow Linda and family. Other contributors are actors, filmmakers, dancers, fighters, and the king of UFC Dana White. Bruce's life story gets the highlight treatment. There are little nuggets of information in addition to the iconic water speech. It's great to point out the big difference in two versions of his movie, Fist of Fury. There's a good discussion about him being a pioneer of MMA and about his philosophy of fighting. There is enough to appealing to obsessed Bruce Lee fans. For newcomers, this is a solid introduction. Besides the fighting world, there are plenty of other famous faces like Ed O'Neill, Mickey Rourke, Taboo, and Kobe Bryant. Most of them haven't met the man but they all enthusiastically proclaim their love. Honestly, the most compelling is the family talking about his death. This is able to add a couple of things to the standard Bruce Lee flick and is pretty good for a TV biopic.
