Bruce Lee The Man The Myth

Well, finally, here's the first full kung fu movie upload on this channel, Ng Sze Yuen's biopic, "Bruce Lee The Man, The Myth."

Like most of the "Brucesploitation" movies made in the '70's (following Bruce Lee's passing), the star of this movie is Taiwanese gymnast/martial artist, Ho Tsung Tao, rechristened "Bruce Li" (as most of us old school HK action fans in the U.S. know and remember him.)

Actually, as Bruceploitation goes, this one isn't too bad. This movie stays clear of exploiting the alleged affair between Bruce Lee and Betty Ting Pei and the fight scenes are well staged.

That said, like all Brucesploitation flicks, not one mention is made of Bruce Lee's real life U.S. students and friends (or even his siblings! You'd get the impression that he was the only child in these movies, when in fact, he had sisters and a younger brother.)

And of course, everyone in "Bruce Lee The Man The Myth" has the most contemporary, up to date 1970's hair styles and clothing, even though Bruce Lee left Hong Kong in 1958(!) and attended college in Seattle in the early 1960's!

Oh well, it's still fun...and what's great is that this particular gem is in the Public Domain.

Enjoy! (More old school HK kung fu, as well as Japanese chambara to be uploaded here soon.)
