The Legend of Bruce Lee

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

To call yourself a real Bruce Lee fan, and then credit Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story as being better than the Legend of Bruce Lee T.V. series is totally absurd!

The Legend of Bruce Lee T.V. series is clearly the most in-depth attempt any studio has ever made, in the telling of the life of martial arts master Bruce Lee. I have watched all 50 episodes, and as an avid Bruce Lee fan, I was very much pleased with what I viewed. There is enough information about the series on the web, so there is no need for me to go into an in-depth review, or spoil anything for those who may not have seen it.

I will say, that this series was very well done, despite it's budget. The acting was great, and the fight choreography was very good. Danny Chan was excellent as Bruce Lee. The best that I have ever seen. Did he mimic Bruce? Of course he did. He was playing the part of Bruce Lee after all! Were there continuity issues, and inconsistencies? Of course. Name one biopic that has gotten every single thing correct. Plus, not one of us knows every single detail of Bruce's life.

I was born in 1963. I have been a fan of Bruce Lee since I laid eyes on The Big Boss & Fist of Fury. These were two of the first martial arts movies my late father took me and my older bother to see in the early 70's This began for me and my brother a lifelong interest in martial arts, and anything Bruce Lee related. If you're a true fan of the martial arts master you will view this series just like I did.

The Legend of Bruce Lee is a treasure for every true fan of the master Bruce Lee!

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'm a huge Bruce Lee fan and I'm glad a local TV network dubbed this show in my local language. Granted this TV series is not too polished in terms of acting, story telling, and fight choreography, but it makes up for it with its deep insight into Lee's life not seen in other biographies before.

The script is apparently approved by the Lee family and Shannon Lee is credited as Executive Producer so I trust the source of the story. Sure there may have been a few deviations but overall I'm fine with it.

This may not be the epic that I have been expecting and hoping for but I'll give it an average 7 out of 10.

Just finished watching the last episode (50) and wanted to add my twopenn'orth. Danny Chan portrays Bruce Lee to perfection - it's difficult to believe that this is not Bruce! Other characters are represented well, too. Ed Parker and Chuck Norris are particularly noteworthy, likeness and mannerisms are accurately portrayed. There appear to be parts that stray a little from other reports and biographies, but generally, the series seems to be pretty factual. The only reason I have only given a rating of 9 is that, for me, the story annoyingly jumps some (small) aspects of Bruce's life and what I consider as important details leading up to his death! As soon as I find time, I WILL watch this again and I am certain that it will be even better. It has rekindled my childhood interest in Bruce and I am currently reading everything that I can find about his life and work. I should add that I watched this in Chinese and understood most, but my wife was interpreter/translator for those parts that used more complex Chinese language. I hope that the Chinese speech is subtitled, and what 'should' be in English is dubbed, for release on foreign markets, since much of the character of the series would be lost if it were entirely in English!
