"Bruce Lee: The man, the Myth" is a surprisingly accurate accounting of the late martial arts "superstar" Bruce Lee; more so than "Dragon-The Bruce Lee Story". The story begins in Hong Kong with a young Bruce Lee (Ho Chung Tao/a.k.a. "Bruce Li") paying a final visit to the "kwoon" of his Wing Chun "sifu" Yip Man before leaving for America. Lee engages in a sparring session with Yip Chun who portrays the part of his famous father. After making the move to America and settling in Seattle, Lee begins teaching any and all who want to learn his kung fu. After a brief encounter with a tough thug (karate legend Donnie Williams) who takes exception to Bruce Lee stating that karate came from kung fu, Lee is challenged by a karate master (David Chow of the TV series "Kung Fu"). Lee defeats Chow and his hinch men then moves on to California to be discovered for the role of "Kato" of the "Green Hornet" TV series. Lee later returns to Hong Kong and is met at the airport by the real life childhood friend of Bruce Lee, "Little Unicorn" ("Little Unicorn" played the part of "Jimmy" in "Return of the Dragon"). While persuing his film career, Lee faces many challenges including matches against Thai boxers and the extra's on the set of "Enter the Dragon". The story contains several scenes of Ho Chung Tao training with the Wing Chun dummy, weight machines, electric muscle stimulator, etc. that were part of the real Bruce Lee's training regimen.
In the Chinese Connection, the Master of Karate and Kung Fu returns with revenge in mind. Lee is out to get the people who murdered his revered and beloved teacher of his martial arts school. The combination of action and fight moves that made Lee famous, make this film exciting throughout.
