Member DragonClaws Posted February 10, 2019 Author Member Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) Quote A popular documentary series profiling an eclectic range of notables, with each episode focusing on one figure. Based on a half-hour syndicated program that ran from 1961-64 and in 1979, the concept was successfully revived as an hourlong show with Peter Graves as host in 1987. Well-established and a franchise series for A&E by 1994, it later spun off the Biography Channel. Martial-arts master Bruce Lee (1940-73) is remembered via movie footage and comments from friends James Coburn and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Clips include Lee's battle with Chuck Norris in "Return of the Dragon" (1973), and a childhood appearance in "Kid Cheung" (1949). Narrator: Peter Graves.

Member DragonClaws Posted February 22, 2019 Author Member Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) Quote In Dec. 27, 1973, Variety did a front-page story and chart summarizing the year’s “top key-city grossers.” The story said the star system was thriving, with most top films sporting marquee names. Among the stars with two films in the year’s top 50 were Barbra Streisand, Robert Redford, Gene Hackman — and Lee. “Enter the Dragon” was No. 20 for the year, with “The Chinese Connection” at No. 47.

Member DragonClaws Posted February 24, 2019 Author Member Share Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) Quote Imagine Jet Li in a movie where he's not kicking butt. Difficult, isn't it? Li's portrayal of a man battling for his humanity after he's trained to be an attack dog in "Unleashed" arguably transcends the martial arts roles that have made him famous. But he is not a cinematic chameleon like co-stars Morgan Freeman and Bob Hoskins, who are known for the variety of roles they have played in their respective long careers. Li's U.S. film career has been defined by his martial arts expertise. Whether as a villain in "Lethal Weapon 4" or as a heroic foreign-born crime fighter in movies such as "Kiss of the Dragon," and "Cradle 2 The Grave," Li's calling card in Hollywood has always been his spectacular fight scenes. Like Jackie Chan and others, he has followed the path paved by Bruce Lee, who transformed the image of the Asian male in U.S. cinema.

How did he cope with Lee Strasberg acting classes in Hollywood? Why was Bruce Lee such a big influence? How did he get into martial arts? How did the Wirral become Liverpool? What was it like talking to Shannon Lee about Bruce Lee her father? What is the WMKF? Listen to Lee A Charles reveal his martial art journey. Listen, it is worth it, be inspired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DragonClaws Posted March 5, 2019 Author Member Share Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) My Take on Bruce Lee by Mattew Schafer Quote There is no doubt the impact that Bruce Lee had on the martial arts world and cinema in general. Even though he died in 1973 he still appears on magazine covers and people are still making movies and videos about him and his teachings. There is no doubt that the practice of martial arts would not be so widespread and popular today if it wasn’t for him. For that, we all owe Bruce Lee a debt of thanks. That being said, I never cared for Bruce Lee. Even though being a lifelong martial artist I’m not only expected to revere him but also get a partial erection at the mention of his name I have never been a Bruce Lee fan, in fact I’m more of a Jackie Chan and Chuck Norris guy.

Member DragonClaws Posted March 6, 2019 Author Member Share Posted March 6, 2019 Bruce Lee Myth's (Pod-Cast) Quote There's one thing you learn early on when researching Bruce Lee, and that's that he's revered with a sort of bizarre mystique by nearly everyone who writes about him, more than 40 years after his death. He's often exalted as some kind of superhuman, endowed not only with unique physical prowess, but also an otherworldly enlightenment. Others go the opposite direction, claiming that nearly everything said about him is false, and that he was little more than a bad actor who was good at pushups. Consequently, a whole subculture has arisen obsessed with the mythology of Bruce Lee. Today we're going to see which are true, and which are bullshido.
