Movie Reviews of Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story
Movie Review: A Total Fabrication.
Summary: 1 Stars
Truth is stranger than fiction. The old axiom falls on deaf ears, as the producers,writers and director fabricate a total collection of LIES purporting to be the BRUCE LEE story. The ONLY fact in the movie which are even remotely accurate, is that a man named Bruce Lee existed. Sheeeesh...where to begin? In every fight scene in this movie "Bruce" flips flies and defies gravity at every turn, the type of "wire-fu" that the real Bruce Lee HATED! Bruce did NOT get into a fight (on the set of The BIg Boss) with a revenge seeking brother of a defeated foe, as Bruce injured his back LIFTING WEIGHTS not fighting some long-haired extra from a bad chop-sockey movie, a term BTW which is used in the film in what is supposed to be the 60's a decade before it was ever coined...lets see what else...The Tao of Jeet Kune Do was published AFTER Bruce died... Lee was already running his own kung-fu school (in Seattle) when he met his wife-to-be; he did not open this school at her suggestion, as the film indicates...Lee did NOT suffer from hallucinations, Lee began training at age 13 not as a child as depicted, Bruce was a successful child star with some 10+ films to his credit before going to America in 1958 not 1961 as stated in the movie...ARRRRGGGHHHHH......just be warned EVERYTHING in this movie has NOTHING to do with Bruce Lee's real life, art and philosophy. This "film" is a sacrilege! To be avoided at all costs...check out the A&E Biography and A WARRIORS JOURNEY, plus the bonus features on the ENTER THE DRAGON dvd for ACCURATE FACTS about the Martial Arts Genius, BRUCE LEE!
Summary of Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story
Portrays the life and rise of the martial arts star Bruce Lee.Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: PG13
Release Date: 26-DEC-2005
Media Type: DVD
This enjoyable and touching biography of martial-arts film star Bruce Lee stars Jason Scott Lee (no relation), an actor with a lively face and natural intensity, who makes every moment of this film compelling. Directed by Rob Cohen, Dragon traces Bruce Lee's slow rise over myriad obstacles--most of them race-based--to become an international superstar in films. Lee's origins are oddly set in San Francisco instead of his real home in Seattle, but then again there is plenty of artistic license going on as Cohen explores the actor's psyche through some powerful fantasy sequences. Lauren Holly is good as Lee's wife, Linda (whose book about her late husband inspired this movie). A scene involving Bruce's rescue of son Brandon (who died in a filmmaking accident in 1993) from a murderous spirit is plain spooky. The special-edition DVD release has a widescreen presentation, director interview, featurette, screen tests, closed captioning, optional French soundtrack, and optional Spanish subtitles. --Tom Keogh
