Movie telling the life story of Bruce Lee can be a little bland and hagiographical but has energy, sincerity, and a big fight sequence every fifteen minutes or so, which is all you really want where Lee is concerned. Bruce Lee is kicked out of Hong Kong (for fighting), loses his job in San Francisco (for fighting), starts his own successful business (teaching fighting) and starts a new career (fighting in the movies). Did I mention there are a lot of fights in the movie?

You would be forgiven for taking much of this film with a pinch of salt, but Jason Scott Lee is very engaging, as is Lauren Holly, and its heart is certainly in the right place. Really good fight choreography too. Best not taken too seriously, but very watchable if kung fu movies are your thing.
