The Real Bruce Lee
Watch TrailerThe Real Bruce Lee is a martial arts documentary. It begins with a brief biography of Bruce Lee, and shows scenes from four of his childhood films, Bad Boy, Orphan Sam, Kid Cheung, and The Carnival, each sepia-toned and dubbed to English. Next, there is a three-minute highlight reel of Lee imitator Bruce Li. Finally, there is a feature-length film starring Lee imitator Dragon Lee, which is obviously modeled after Bruce Lee's Fist of Fury.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a patchwork of archival childhood clips and imitator showcases, relying heavily on Bruce Lee's iconic status. It explores the immediate posthumous commodification of his image more than his own artistry.
What lingers after viewing is a sense of the rapid commercialization of a legend, where the copy often overshadowed the source material in the public's hunger for more. — MovieFinder Editorial

For completists and those studying the early exploitation of martial arts film legends. View as a curious period piece.
