Following the untimely death of Bruce Lee, lots of ultra-cheap and shady films came out with his name in the title. Why? Because there was a huge hunger for his movies and he only made a few movies. So, these hucksters did things like renaming martial arts actors 'Bruce Li' and the like....and often CLAIMED that they were new and undiscovered Bruce Lee films. Well, this isn't exactly what the makers of "The Real Bruce Lee" did...but it's along the same vein. Instead, they cobbled together some very early childhood appearances of Lee and also showed clips of Bruce Li and Dragon Lee....two Lee knockoffs. Additionally, it did NOT pretend these were Bruce Lee....and was more a documentary in style....albeit a very cheap one.
So why do I only give this one a 3? Well, the clips of the early films of Bruce Lee were as a child and were NOT martial arts films...and they bored me. Additionally, while not exactly lying like many other film producers, including Dragon Lee and Bruce Li in a film with Bruce Lee's name in the title just seemed a bit sleazy.
