Bruce Lee: A Lenda

Definitely, the "Legend of Bruce Lee" needs the Cantonese and English versions. At least the subtitles be in English to make it complete.

This is the first time I have ever seen a martial art production that depicts the details on how and why in addition to demonstrations. For martial art lovers, this is the ultimate treasure. The quality of production equates the "Saving Private Ryan" and Jet Li's "Huo Yuan Jia".

In a lot of ways, Bruce Lee resembled the Chinese national hero, Huo Yuan Jia. They are determined, fearless, crazy about martial art and creative (they both created their own styles), but most important of all, they love their own country and hated their countrymen being called the "Sickmen of East Asia".

I have bought the DVD and recommend it to my friends. I will watch it over and over to enjoy it more.

I enjoyed watching the 50 episodes and although the acting is pretty poor it's worth watching. Another thing that annoyed me was reading the subtitles the whole series, it would of been more authentic if it had subtitles at the beginning in China but once he was in America switched it to English. I still enjoyed it, the guy that plays Bruce Lee looks and acts exactly like him and the action scenes are quite good. I highly recommend this series, especially if your a huge Bruce Lee fan like myself. The legend of Bruce Lee lives on through this series. Loved it.

Just binge watched this series over a week. It has its moments. The version I watched was in Cantonese with some frankly bizarre and often hilarious subtitles which sometimes barely made sense and there was definitely some anti west propaganda in there which was a shame. It was clear that this was low budget, but it was watchable. The booming "Bruce Lee, Bruce Lee, Bruce Lee" monotonous singing was just plain irritating with constant visits to the mute button needed throughout. Probably not accurate in most areas for a biography with much fanciful filler involved to enhance Lee's character but hey this was a Chinese production and he was their modern day hero so I can understand why they did it for their own home audience. I enjoyed the varied fight scenes, and the main actor who played Lee was a very good imitation, possibly the best i've ever seen to be honest. The rest of the cast were tolerable but somewhere near the quality of say a sub par afternoon soap opera in the west. This being said I did get involved with this series and it kept me interested so on one level it worked but it was a hard slog in places. I'm not going to quibble over the clear historical inaccuracies and the awful soundtrack though because there was enough there to keep me entertained. Once again if you get chance to see the subtitled version its hilarious in parts, for some reason Muhammad Ali becomes Mr Harrison King of all boxers and Chuck Norris becomes Mr Hoffman! What's that all about lol. Would I watch it all again, probably not, would I dip into some episodes to watch the fight scenes, yes they were the best thing about the series for me.

Just watched all 50 episodes on Netflix and I fast forwarded through a lot of the cheesy soap opera drama. I wasn't interested so much that the series was or wasn't perfectly factual and it matched Bruce Lees life exactly. I liked some of the twists and different story lines. The fight scenes were excellent, very entertaining. But I thought with Shannon Lee as Executive producer, most of the cheesy hand and finger gestures scene in kung Fu movies from 40 years ago would have been smoothed out including the facial expressions and dialogue. But the cinematography, sets, etc. were very nice and enjoyable to watch. Some of the actors obviously needed some lessons, but I really like the Uncle Shao character, and some of the Karate masters. The actor who played Bruce lee did a very good job, he didn't over do Bruce's mannerisms. Thank you for a very nice series.

Just finished watching the last episode (50) and wanted to add my twopenn'orth. Danny Chan portrays Bruce Lee to perfection - it's difficult to believe that this is not Bruce! Other characters are represented well, too. Ed Parker and Chuck Norris are particularly noteworthy, likeness and mannerisms are accurately portrayed. There appear to be parts that stray a little from other reports and biographies, but generally, the series seems to be pretty factual. The only reason I have only given a rating of 9 is that, for me, the story annoyingly jumps some (small) aspects of Bruce's life and what I consider as important details leading up to his death! As soon as I find time, I WILL watch this again and I am certain that it will be even better. It has rekindled my childhood interest in Bruce and I am currently reading everything that I can find about his life and work. I should add that I watched this in Chinese and understood most, but my wife was interpreter/translator for those parts that used more complex Chinese language. I hope that the Chinese speech is subtitled, and what 'should' be in English is dubbed, for release on foreign markets, since much of the character of the series would be lost if it were entirely in English!
