What, there are still things about Bruce Lee’s life that we don’t know about yet? Apparently so, and this new take on the kung fu legend happens to be based on the memoir by Alex Lee, Bruce Lee’s brother, so you expect it to shed some light into the man, the legend, the asskicker that we haven’t known about. Maybe. The film stars Aarif Lee as Lee (no relations — at least, I don’t think there is), and co-stars Tony Leung Ka-Fai and Christy Chung as his parents, with Alex Man, Siu-Fai Cheung and Kar Lok Chin rounding out the cast. “Bruce Lee” (aka “Bruce Lee, My Brother”) purports to tell more of the family life of Bruce Lee, though judging by the English-subtitled trailer, that leaves plenty of room for Bruce Lee to deliver some asskicking to some dudes throughout the movie. They all had it coming,...

We were big fans of Alexander Lee's Real Shaolin when it screened here as part of the Toronto International Film Festival. You can find my review of the film here but the short version is that the film tracks a quartet of real martial artists from wildly diverse backgrounds as all four travel to Shaolin hoping to pursue their passion in the birthplace of Chinese martial arts. And what they find is often not what they expected. It's a very strong piece of work and Lee has just issued a self-released DVD edition of the film so that fans can finally have a copy to call their own. This one comes highly recommended.
