Fuck this piece of shit movie. Shitty movie about Bruce Lee. The film in its attempt to make Lee something to be remembered fails in every form to be interesting as the actual life that man had. Also.... mediocre fights.

Yeah, better price than the book version but the pic quality should have been better. I got the book as a Christmas gift last year.

I agree with Snake...fuck that POS.

I haven't seen this film in years but when I did I liked it a lot. I don't remember if him fighting the imaginary shogun samurai warrior was the filmmakers attempt to suggest that Lee had mental illness or what.

I really like this movie. I don't see it as a proper biography of his life by any means but I keep it on whenever I see it on TV.

Same. Not the best movie and grossly inaccurate but somewhat enjoyable.

Yeah. It's an average flick but has a fantastic score. Weren't excerpts for the score used for almost every trailer for like 5 years since the film's release?

Pretty much. It was the "go-to" music whenever a trailer wanted to sound inspirational (the really familiar part starts around the minute point below).

It's been a while since I saw the movie, but I remember liking it ok. Though I had much less discriminating taste in movies 20 years ago.

It was used in some Olympic and sports commercials also. The trailer I remember using it was Forrest Gump.

Dragon was supposedly based on this book and is in the credits but used almost nothing from it.

I liked this movie quite a bit.

BTW, the Amazon link says this is coming out February 3rd.

I never bought the DVD version of this, so I'll gladly pick this up to see it in HD.

Are these extras listed on the link the same as the DVD?


Special Features
Archival Introduction
The Making of Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story
Behind-the-Scenes Footage
Jason Scott Lee Screen Test
Bruce Lee Interview
Storyboards
Production Photographs
Bruce Lee Photographs
Theatrical Trailers
Feature Commentary with Director Rob Cohen
Just a direct port over I presume?

The R1 DVD was a non anamorphic release.

Of course she was happy with it. Because of being married to him she's never had to work a day in her life after his death.

I'm down to buy it though. It isn't a classic but I liked Jason Scott Lee's portrayal and it does take a fantastical approach to his life but it is still fun.
