In just thirty-two years, Bruce Lee went from the son of an actor in Hong Kong to a martial arts expert to a television and movie superstar. He had charisma, style, a physique, and a philosophical outlook unmatched by any man. He was the epitome of cool, but he also had true depth. It's been over three and a half decades since he passed away, but Bruce Lee's influence persists on a whole new generation of athletes, artists, and cultural innovators. Bruce Lee Lives! explores the life and legacy of Bruce Lee. The series is presented in a slick, fast, cool style -- a tonal representation of the man it honors. Each episode explores the many facets that made Bruce Lee, Bruce Lee. We look at the story of his life and how certain moments set in motion the victories and defeats that would later attempt to define him -- but couldn't. We explore his continued influence throughout all realms of culture, sport, and philosophy by hearing from sports stars, action sports athletes, mixed martial artists, actors, filmmakers, musicians, dancers, game designers, comic creators, etc. What might not be obvious, but what we'll expose lurking beneath the fascia of popular society, is that Bruce Lee still lives on today.
