How Bruce Lee Changed The World
Movie fans are now quite familiar with the Martial Arts genre, from movies like The Karate Kid, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and Rush Hour, but it wasn’t until the 1970s that the young Bruce Lee introduced American audiences to the art form rarely seen outside of Hong Kong. Lee’s Enter the Dragon was his first (and sadly his only) U.S. film, a box office smash that paved the way for Chuck Norris, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and others. The young actor died at the age of 32, but left behind the legacy of a brand new era in the art of motion pictures. Included are interviews with John Woo, Jackie Chan, Stan Lee and LL Cool J.
