Legend


The Legend of Bruce Lee is a tv show shot in china, hong kong, macau, the us, italy, and thailand over nine months and starring a mixed cast from different backgrounds. the series encompasses Bruce Lee's teen years in hong kong, his move to the us where he taught kung fu and entered hollywood, and his return back to hong kong where he became a film star prior to his early death in 1973.
the full series (50 episodes) aired in china in 2008.



UPDATE:
the actor portraying Bruce Lee in the series is Danny Chan Kwok Kuen who also depicted Bruce Lee as the goalie in the 2001 movie Shaolin Soccer. the best way to describe Shaolin Soccer while ignoring the plot is that it is a real life Captain Tsubasa (aka Captain Majid).

  1. I always had a thing for captain Majid. And what is all the hype about Bruse Lee? Evey man I know has an odd fascintaion with him.

  4. Should I mention the last episode when captain Majid kicked a winning a goal while having an aneurysm with multiple broken ribs and a dislocated knee, do I know, huh, huh?!? Captain Majid eats Lee's for breakfast (I know, terrible gay-ish phrasing)

    The fact that the episode is made-up does not, in anyway, undermine captain Majid's coolness.
