Customer Reviews

What are u guys talking about??????????
The Young Bruce Lee is nothing more than a ridiculous movies made by Bruce Li, the phony Bruce Lee 'wannabee.' The only real Bruce Lee footage in this film are some still shots of Bruce Lee in his coffin at the end of this terrible movie. How the hell can you all post your comments about this film?? There is no footage of Bruce Lee childhood movies, etc... Is there another version of The Young Bruce Lee which actually contains the footage mentioned in the reviews posted on this page? This is nothing but false advertising. I purchased this DVD based on the several reviews posted on Amazon.com by individuals who supposedly own this product. If Amazon.com cannot check the validity of reviews that it posts, I guess it's safe to say that Amazon.com has lost me as a customer.

Good For A Bruce Li Flick...BUT...
Considering how notorious my man Bruce Li is for starring in B-F grade BRUCEploitation flicks, the Young Bruce Lee impressed me for a good 85-90% of the film. It was unique in that it dramatized Bruce Lee's relationship with 2 other central characters from childhood to adulthood, and contrary to some other posts, I found the action/fight sequences to be impressive on Bruce Li's part, considering that there are so many other BAD movies he's starred in, in which he'd take beatings of 'Passion of the Christ' proportions before mounting a defense. While I felt that he did a much better job at portraying Bruce Lee's character this time around, and while there was mention of his early film career, wife and kids,etc...the movie falls off at the end in that one moment Bruce Lee is streetfighting in the mountains somewhere with a group of martial artists avenging the beatdown of one of there comrades, Bruce wins, and then after a long hiatus, the film jumps to his childhood friend holding a paper announcing Lee's untimely death. And what REALLY made me want to sidekick a hole in my TV screen was the fact that they alleged that Lee's wife collapsed and DIED at the funeral and that both bodies were flown to Seattle for burial. WRONG,WRONG,WRONG...Linda Lee is alive and well! TERRIBLE! But while I would recommend this movie a million times over Bruce Lee: A Dragon Story(BOO!), I strongly recommend Chinese Connection II over the Young Bruce Lee, because in my opinion it's Bruce Li's greatest performance hands down(it's a REAL sequel to Bruce Lee's Chines Connection in which he plays the brother of Lee's character and is pretty much being Lee Roy Lung...being himself as opposed to attempting to be another Bruce Lee).

I unfortunately own this movie on VHS. It is the most HORRIBLE movie I have ever seen. It is a complete waste of life to watch a second of this movie. The information in the movie is conpletely wrong and the movie doesn't even make sense half the time. The movie is absolutely rediculous and is sure to induce a migraine to all who view it. So, I suppose if you enjoy popping pain relief tablets, this is the film for you.
