"How Bruce Lee Changed the
World" is a very interesting and entertaining biography produced by the
History Channel. Instead of focusing only on his life, the goal of this
program is Bruce Lee influenced many fields of culture and popular society.
Martial artists and fans of Bruce Lee will love this biography, that fans of
action movies will also see the impact of Bruce Lee in action movies. However,
some viewers may be surprised to learn is that Bruce Lee has influenced more
than just martial arts and movies. The biography has chapters on philosophy,
Breaking Stereotypes, Martial arts, fitness, attitudes in China, action movies,
songs, branding, and a little short at the end about where he is buried and
about future plans for things about Bruce Lee.
DVD chapters contain interesting segments on
freerunning, mixed martial arts and weight training with several FreeRunners,
mixed martial artists and bodybuilders stating that philosophy, ideas and Lee
training helped shape these popular sports and training. I also liked the
segments with Shannon Lee in Hong Kong and China, where a memorial park and
museum are created. They also plan a museum in Hong Kong in the old house Lee.
It is a very well done biography, what would be expected from the History
Channel, with images of Bruce Lee movies and private video of it, as well as
many other interesting scenes and interviews. Near the end of the DVD, there is
a small segment of a celebration of Bruce Lee in Seattle, where Lee is buried
next to his son Brandon, who also died very young.

interviewees in this biography:
