This all-new documentary, made with the full co-operation of Bruce Lee’s family, explores the life of kung fu cinema’s undisputed king – like you’ve never seen before! Covering not only his movie career, but also his physical training and teaching philosophies, the methods implemented by cinema’s best loved ‘martial arts master’ remain among the most influential contributions in the world of health and fitness – and are explored to full-effect in this ground-breaking feature.

Bruce Lee was the first Asian movie star to break into the international market and although he completed only four films and a handful of TV work prior to his tragic death in 1973, the impact of his fighting skill, philosophy and undeniable charisma left the world changed forever.
