kingrl-71573 Birth of a Dragon...a film about a fight between to masters Bruce Lee & Wong Jack Man all instigated by one white guy's quest for a beautiful Asian woman. This movie has some great wisdom in it's dialogue; However, the theme is garbage. Lee & Wong have to fight each other as the terms to release the lovely conquest from imprisonment. The fight ends in a deep manner with no clear winner. So the female gangster refuses to free the girl. So the white guy decides he is going to pull a Zelda move. He thinks the "Link" to her freedom is his fists. Said white guy gets his ass kicked. Master Wong & Lee come to the rescue to save the muse for the white guy. In the End Master Wong humbly admits he took an L. He does so for the greater good. In return all the women were released from their captivity. To add extra corn to the mix, Master Wong thanks the white guy. Smh so a legendary match between legends is marginalized by another man's quest for box.....this film is certified poop for two reasons. Poop isnt all bad. Yes, poop does stink, but afterwards you are glad it's over. So this poop had highlights.Gave this film a 3 solely because of Yu Xia.

adrianmaddox That was the worse most disrespectful depiction of the greatest kung fu master the world has known. Shame on all of the directors and producers for putting out that horrible film.

parrishgore Ask Linda Lee Caldwell what happened, and she can tell you, Bruce was not the aggressor and was responding to a challenge by Jack Man and Chinese figures who said it was against Chinese rules to teach westerners. The fight itself was BS. And Linda can tell you, Jack Man was overwhelmed from the beginning and Lee had to chase him down to fight. This film is a waste of time and money, do not rent or buy. Total BS.

lojitsu Here's a Better Late than Never review of "Birth of the Dragon" (PG-13 - 2016 - US)...I will accept your challenge!!Genre: Action/Martial My Score: 5.3Cast=4 Acting=5 Plot=7 Ending=6 Story=3 Violent=7 Pace=5 F/X=6 Fights=6 History=4 Inspired by the legendary fight between Bruce Lee, an up and coming master in San Francisco...and Wong Jack Man, great Shaolin monk traveling to the city to workout his own issues."Your technique is impressive, but it has one limitation...you." I love all things Bruce Lee...and I was interested in this story that focused on this fight. The fight scenes were decent, but they could have been better. The biggest problem I had was they butchered the story to something akin to the old "save the girl" ploy. This was a big time letdown for me and no better then a meh...even if you are a martial arts movie fan.
