Not the story
10 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Also known as He's a Legend, He's a Hero, this Hong Kong film stars Bruce Li - note, this is not Bruce Lee: The Man, The Myth, which also stars Bruce Li AKA Ho Tsung-Tao - in a somewhat made-up story of the life of the recently deceased Bruce Lee.

Directed by Singloy Wan and written by Yi Kwan and Song Hsiang-yu, this starts as all martial arts movies should, with the star doing his moves while a disco song plays. More of this, people.

Bruce goes to Hollywood to become a star and finds racism waiting. He goes to Hong Kong and becomes a huge star, then gets married to Linda (Caryn White), fights with an American boxer - who even comes the whole way to Hong Kong to fight him in the set of Enter the Dragon - and then has sex with Betty Ting Pei (Su-Chen Chen) which has a lightning storm, a filling up coffee pot and ends with an earthquake and his death, but not before Bruce says, "Life is just so damn short. I always feel like I'm running behind - like time is running out on me."

That said, nearly everyone says stuff like, "Life is short" and "It seems like Bruce isn't going to live for long," like all foreshadowing but is it foreshadowing if we already know the ending?

That said, I could watch every single Bruce Lee fake life story movie. And I feel like I have and then I find another.
