Bruce Lee - True Story (1976)
Reviewed by: mpongpun on 2003-11-16
For a wannabe docu-movie on Bruce’s life, this flick is not that bad. I used to hate all those fake Bruce movies, especially with Bruce Li, but now I don’t mind him that much at all. After all, I come to the realization that Bruce Li is damn good and there is no better person at imitating Bruce. The flick seemed to be on a decent budget as Ng See Yuen re-visited some of the sites that actually took place in Bruce’s flicks such as the Roman Colosseum, Thailand, and some of the places in Enter the Dragon . It even looks like that some of the Thai extras from the Big Boss were even re-hired to give the flick an authentic feel. Unicorn Chan, Bruce’s childhood buddy, even appears as friend—now that’s a nice attempt by Ng See Yuen to make us feel that Bruce Lee is “almost” in the movie. No other fake-me-out Bruce Lee flick has this feel. If you seen many of the Bruce Lee Bio-stories, then you may not gain any extra info into the tragedy of Bruce. If you want to see a great almost Bruce like performance by Bruce Li, then you got to see this flick.
