Bruce Lee: A Lenda

Just watched all 50 episodes on Netflix and I fast forwarded through a lot of the cheesy soap opera drama. I wasn't interested so much that the series was or wasn't perfectly factual and it matched Bruce Lees life exactly. I liked some of the twists and different story lines. The fight scenes were excellent, very entertaining. But I thought with Shannon Lee as Executive producer, most of the cheesy hand and finger gestures scene in kung Fu movies from 40 years ago would have been smoothed out including the facial expressions and dialogue. But the cinematography, sets, etc. were very nice and enjoyable to watch. Some of the actors obviously needed some lessons, but I really like the Uncle Shao character, and some of the Karate masters. The actor who played Bruce lee did a very good job, he didn't over do Bruce's mannerisms. Thank you for a very nice series.

I enjoyed watching the 50 episodes and although the acting is pretty poor it's worth watching. Another thing that annoyed me was reading the subtitles the whole series, it would of been more authentic if it had subtitles at the beginning in China but once he was in America switched it to English. I still enjoyed it, the guy that plays Bruce Lee looks and acts exactly like him and the action scenes are quite good. I highly recommend this series, especially if your a huge Bruce Lee fan like myself. The legend of Bruce Lee lives on through this series. Loved it.

This show portrays Bruce Lee not only as a Kung Fu master but also a thinker,a lover of physical power and a seeker for truth; and he really was,of course he was acknowledged around the world as the founder of Jeet Kune Do(JKD). Here I don't want to talk a lot about his fighting techniques, but one thing is important in his martial system---yin and yang, main principle in nature in traditional Chinese philosophy.

OK,let's make it simple... take water as an example(as Bruce Lee did on the pierre berton show,and i put it another way),you can neither grab it in your hand nor tell its shape,and that's the yin; on the other hand,we all know that a hard rock can be made a hole by drips year after year,here comes the yang. Water is flexible and so powerful. That's why he believed "No style is the style".

His martial attributes based on philosophy led to his worldwide greatness and still do --- A real warrior

Definitely, the "Legend of Bruce Lee" needs the Cantonese and English versions. At least the subtitles be in English to make it complete.

This is the first time I have ever seen a martial art production that depicts the details on how and why in addition to demonstrations. For martial art lovers, this is the ultimate treasure. The quality of production equates the "Saving Private Ryan" and Jet Li's "Huo Yuan Jia".

In a lot of ways, Bruce Lee resembled the Chinese national hero, Huo Yuan Jia. They are determined, fearless, crazy about martial art and creative (they both created their own styles), but most important of all, they love their own country and hated their countrymen being called the "Sickmen of East Asia".

I have bought the DVD and recommend it to my friends. I will watch it over and over to enjoy it more.

After watching the entire series and having rewatched selective episodes more than once, I reflect on what great acting, choreographs, and the profound impact it has on my life. First, Danny Chan and Lang without a question has done a superb job as well as well as many of its supporting actors/actress. It feels that everyone has something to contribute to the Bruce Lee story, beyond just getting paid. The fights are detailed and entertaining. There are areas of the story that may never be verifiable but nonetheless based on a true story for the most part. At times, certain continuity may get annoying but overall, positives far outweights the negative. If the budget is ten times higher with better editing and footage -- I would give it a 10. For example, police scenes shows "NYPD", I mean it's Seattle. There are modern post-2000 cars parked all over the place on the curbs, etc. But that's okay because we know it's only $6.4million and they instead focus on acting, story, and choreographing. This has inspired me to read more about Bruce, study his philosophies like I never did, and the profound change in my own life that anything is possible. After almost 2 years, I cannot believe no one sub in English yet so I have begun the translation project myself with a partner because I want the world to know Bruce.
