52. DRAGON: The Bruce Lee story (action, 1993) A re-telling of the life of legendary martial-arts star Bruce Lee (Jason Scott Lee). From his brief childhood days in Hong Kong, to his days as a dishwasher, martial-arts teacher and eventual cinema superstar in Hollywood.

Critique: The life and death of Bruce Lee has inspired many a film and documentaries since his death. Most of these accounts center around Lee’s ‘mysterious’ death from a ‘brain edema’, never developing anything really new of interest, just speculations. Incredibly it took over 20 years for a film to finally put to rest the many theories and innuendo.

“Dragon” is by far the best of the legendary Lee story, not only for omitting the many death scenarios but also for giving us the closest account of the man. Apart from these welcome omissions, the film wouldn’t have worked without Jason Scott Lee in the role. He gives a spirited, charismatic performance that captures the zest for life that Lee possessed. It’s a long way from one of his first ‘extra’ roles as an Asian immigrant in the rather forgetful “Born in East L.A.” (1988). Scott Lee is totally appealing here, taking on such a legendary figure and making us believe that Lee is truly up there once again on the screen.

The film’s major theme of the “demon curse” Lee’s family inherited, had a frighteningly real resonance when, after the movie premiered, Lee’s eldest son Brandon (for whom the film is dedicated) was accidentally killed on the set of “The Crow”. This would prove to be his breakout film, just the same way Lee’s last film, “Enter the Dragon”, made him a world wide superstar. This gives the film an added prophetic note that puts it in a category all its own.

Based on wife Linda Lee Cadwell’s book, “Bruce Lee: the man only I knew”, directed with skillful restraint by Rob Cohen (who also co-scripted). Randy Edelman created the unforgettable musical score (you’ll be humming the tune long after you hear it).

QUOTES: Linda: “All these years later people still wonder about the way he died. I prefer to remember the way he lived.”

Superb Character Portrayel by Jason Scott Lee
This film as a stand alone kung fu movie would be worthy of your attention, as it is very enjoyable and well made. The thing that makes it special is Jason Scott Lee’s portrayal of the legend that is Bruce Lee.

He successfully captures his mannerisms, attitude and even his fighting style, extremely convincingly (a truly remarkable feat of acting ability.)

Although dramatised to heighten your viewing pleasure, the story actually follows the events in Bruce Lee’s life and shows us the man behind the martial arts, covering his inner turmoils and personal struggles as well as his famous physical ability.

A great movie, befitting the legend that is Bruce Lee.
