rosegardenofeden 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.

jseif-00393 Better than the movie "The Dragon" that's for sure. Sure this is a low budget movie and most scenes (in America) were filmed with modern cars, but you can simply by-pass all of this if you think about the character Bruce Lee himself. Danny Chan did an outstanding job. He deserves more roles in acting.

rpestanow I get that this was written almost entirely from the point of view of the Chinese. And it is important always to take pride in your heritage. Therefore, you really should change the title of this show to Bruce Lee - Hero of the Chinese.I am a martial artists, and I have been practicing what everyone calls MMA since I was in my teens. I read Bruce Lees' Tao of Jeet Kwon Do in the 80's and was very inspired to seek out and train myself in this philosophy. That being said, I am not a historian on Bruce. I am however, an American, and old enough to have lived thru the late 60's, 70's, 80's and thru today. So I am familiar with pop culture, and have vested many hours in Bruce Lees films, history, biographies and the like.Let me say that the inaccuracies of this film are thoroughly discussed in other reviews. I do agree that there are many, many, many. The parts that get to me (other than the 3 annoying self promoting songs, of which I will briefly discuss) is that I can not believe that Chinese people have no understanding of our medical or legal system. The programs portrayal of Bruce's arrest for getting in a fight for stopping a rape is not even close to what would have actually happened. The program surmises that the witnesses testimonies couldn't be taking because they knew both Bruce and the Philippine girl. Not even close to the truth. The fact the police officer then tells Bruce that he won't be release until he can prove his innocence. NO. Innocent until proved guilty. The Police have to prove, not Bruce. OMG. Then the court of inquiry by I guess he was the Chief of Police. Nope. Court of Law, with a Judge and a Prosecutor and a Defense Attorney, its called an arrangement.Next up is his Aunt. Oh we can't help her unless you go pay money. No. Sorry. Medical Treatment cannot be refused no matter how poor you are in the country. You might say, well she needed blood, that is what the Red Cross does in here, in America. I guess they don't in China, For that I am truly sorry.Now to the Song...Ughhh. Who translated this song? And the person singing it, clearly spoke English, could they not fix the grammatical errors? Master of Soul, oh does he pay the blues too, or jazz? Masters Soul. Bruce Lee Battle Call. In this instance Call is the noun making Bruce, Lee and Battle adjectives. It is like saying Vanilla Ice Cream Call. Corrected it should be Bruce Lee's Battle Call. Possessive of Bruce Lee's shout, what shout? His Battle Call. While they did fix the heel to hills they didn't change the singular shore to shores.As far as the song that just repeats Bruce Lee's name, over and over and over and over. Ugggh. As far the Rock anthem one. It sort of sounds like Kiss doesn't it? Weird since Kiss came out in the mid 70's.So, if you want some entertainment, this is OK, with subtitles. If you are thinking this is the story of Bruce Lee or a true portrayal of his life. Pick up the biographies out on Bruce Lee, this is not it.Have a wonderful viewing experience.

Colin Greenwood This series is so bad i had to actually reset password just so i can come on here and vent!.Netflix recently added this and being a lee fan felt i must watch....This series is simply horrible and non factual and virtually all made up for example this is meant to be set in the 50s - 60s yet Bruce goes to a boxing gym and there's a black gentleman randomly wearing a full Glasgow Celtic football club football strip with shirt and shorts and socks and boxing gloves with the Nike logo from around 2004 not to mention all the cars and food items and things from our time being all around him.Theme song is HORRIFIC made a point of skipping it every episode.And what is with all the anti British hate at the start??? Claiming the reason Bruce was always fighting was because racist British school kids were bullying him WHAT? And that he longed to batter the British and teach us a lesson WHAT? in reality He fought with Chinese triads sons and this led to his parents having to send him away from Hong Kong yet this film makes out that the Chinese in Hong Kong hated the British and were bullied by them and that Bruce hated the British. Yet in real life Hong Kong and majority of its people is actively trying to rejoin the UK and campaigning for it. First few episodes are virtually all anti British garbage.There's nothing about Bruce being a child movie actor at all no mention of it at all only a posh private British school where hes apparently bullied by the British kids and has to fight them all the time as hes racially oppressed by them but it actually ends up coming across as hes being the racist one.The series is badly made and full of awful racial stereotypes like IP man for example with the big beard. And whats with Bruces psycho father? Bruce is bad at school so his father says you fight again i will break both your legs what???? Then stands waiting on his son with a big spear to beat him with OK.....There's so much wrong with it i cant even begin to get it all down and i never leave reviews for anything on here but this garbage virtually forced me to leave a review here and the guys leaving these amazing fantastical reviews on here for this series must surely be being paid to do this or suffer from some sort of mental retardation.This series is about as factually and historically accurate as Mel Gibsons Braveheart! In short a made up fantasy. Totally disgusting this series does nothing but use the Bruce Lee name for gain while having no heart no good acting nothing except Brucesploitation.Watch Dragon the Bruce lee story movie or the immortal dragon both are far far better than this whole series. I get the feeling the makers just hated the UK and just made up the whole of Bruce's life in Hong Kong to be about hating the British
