To the Bruce Lee Fans

Thirty years ago this day. weeks shortly after the completion of Enter the Dragon, On July 20, 1973, Bruce was pronounced dead and the suspected cause was "cerebal edema(swelling of the brain and of which for right now seems to possibly be the only accurate cause of his death"). We lost more than just an actor and martial artist, we lost a dear friend. As time went on his family didn't accept that Bruce died because of this. Many possible rumors of how he may have died were spread. Some suspected jealous people who were heads of rival movie studios, a family curse, The Chinese Mafia known as Triads, or even poisoned by jealous rival kung fu masters to prevent him from revealing all their secrets, and the strangest of all was this "vibrating palm" theory ( which has not yet been proven to exist ) claimed to be a martial arts technique so advanced that one would be easily killed by a mere touch. None of us will ever know exactly who or what was really the cause that took away from us a friend so dear.

Bruce Lee ranks right up there with Keith Richards as far as people I've never met who have influenced my life in a tremendous way.

I first saw "Enter The Dragon" as a kid, and it began a lifetime "on again- off again" affair with the martial arts. He was one of those dynamic personalities that was with us far too short.

I'd love to know what he'd be like today at 62 years of age. And I can hardly believe he's dead 29 years now.

Yikes, I'm old.

That movie Dragon-the Bruce Lee story....was fucking awesome... i went and saw it in the theater.... what was even stranger was how his son died filming The Crow, thus giving more rumor to the family curse, that Bruce was murder... so f-ing strange.. the world missed out on two very special men in Bruce and Brandon.....

bruce lee was an amazing man, a phenominal teacher, and jeet kun do is one of the most innovative martial arts out there today (i don't study it, but I've studied on it, the philosophies are excellent)

Bruce Lee was the best. I have DVD's of THE CHINESE CONNECTION, FISTS OF FURY and RETURN OF THE DRAGON. They seem "cheesy". Will there be quality re-releases? FRYE? ANYONE?

I smash my fists into my face. I can feel it when I close my eyes. And this is good.

The Chinese Mafia known as Triads

No way! You mean the gang in Rush Hour 2 was real? Wow, Chris Tucker is tougher than I thought.

He died from a drug overdose. (But people lokie to romanticize that he died of other causes).

[TheMojoPin]

If only there had been some justice in the world and HE had been the one to star in the TV show he came up with, "Kung-Fu"...

China state TV to air 50-part Bruce Lee biography

BEIJING (AP) - Bruce Lee is getting a belated hero's welcome in China, with the country's state broadcaster set to air a 50-part prime-time series on the late kung fu star.

Lee became a chest-thumping source of nationalistic pride to Chinese around the world with his characters who defended the Chinese against oppressors in a series of movies in the early 1970s. But his influence wasn't felt immediately in China, which was then a closed communist country.

Lee's films started surfacing in China on video in the 1980s - years after his death in 1973 from swelling of the brain.

China's official China Central Television hopes to fill the void with the exhaustive 50 million Chinese yuan (US$7.3 million) biography, "The Legend of Bruce Lee" - the country's first movie or TV series on the actor, according to producer Yu Shengli.

Shot in China, Hong Kong, Macau, the U.S., Italy and Thailand over nine months, the series, starting Sunday in prime-time, will air daily on the CCTV's flagship channel, with two episodes airing consecutively every night in a two-hour slot.

Unlike past films about Lee, "The Legend of Bruce Lee" is unusually detailed in tracing Lee's life, from his teenage years in Hong Kong to his move to the U.S., where he studied and taught martial arts, to his movie career and early death at 32, the Hong Kong actor who plays Lee told The Associated Press in an interview Tuesday.

"We've only seen the glorious side of Bruce Lee - he comes out all guns blazing, his films are entertaining. But very few people know what injuries he suffered and what grievances he suffered," Danny Chan said, noting the series even reveals that Lee was afraid of cockroaches.
