Best movie of this year hands down!

The Worst Film Ever

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This is one of the best documentaries out there made about the greatest martial artist ever appeared on the silver screen. 'Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey' doesn't concentrate not so much about the legendary actor's career in films, but more on his philisophies on fighting, film making and life in general. Most people know Bruce Lee as one of the greatest film stars and action heroes throughout the film history, and that's it. Actually Bruce was much more - he was philosopher at first, all the reast came after that. And this documentary does excellent job to explaining Bruce Lee's mindset.The second part of the movie contains the completed footage of 'The Death Game' like Bruce had intended to be with original dialogue. To know how much effort Bruce put into 'The Game of Death' it is almost painful to know about the botched up 1978 versioon directed by Robert Clouse. One can only think, if only. . .Bruce Lee was highly skillful martial artist (who turned his body into piece of art itself), thoughtful philosopher, dedicated actor, masterful filmmaker. And he didn't let his sudden stardom get into his head. All he wanted to do was to create great art.

This is a documentary which pays homage to the pure mayhem and fury of the myth/man Bruce Lee! Moreover, it contains the most astonishing scenes from the Game of Death. It shows the scenes how Bruce intended them, and I must say it is awesome to say the least! Whereas the original Game of Death movie almost even manages to ruin the Bruce Lee material (not to speak of the rest of the movie, which is worthless) this new material is mindblowing and real! For example, you can see the Korean Haikido masters lips move in the original Game of Death but there is no speech! Here you hear what he says, and you hear Bruce Lee's comments and thoughts. Such as: "Give him the fatigue bombing!" and wonderful dialogue such as Karim: "You must have given up the hope of living" "On the contrary, I don't let the thought of death bother me", and "I hope you don't mind that we move our man so the two of us have more time to groove!" Moreover, they call each other "baby" all the time. It is truly awesome. The rest of the biography is also good but what makes this a real classic is the remake of Game of Death.

This is a fantastic documentary, both in terms of narration and information about Bruce, but even moreso in terms of the footage shown. More impressive than the 'new' Game of Death footage is the footage of Lee practicing at his Los Angeles home, and, most of all, his philosophical remarks in the episodes of "Longstreet". Those scenes are just incredible, such as his statement to James Fransiscus "Like everyone, you want to WIN, but you must be prepared to die", said in complete earnestness, with a very early-1970s flute playing in the background. When was the last time you heard anything like that on television or film? In any case, this is a beautiful tribute to Bruce as the complex, philosophical, extraordinarily passionate human being he was. You will not be disappointed.

This is without a doubt one of the greatest documentaries that I have ever seen. The narration is easy to follow, not too self-consciously obtuse or referential to previous films, and the piecing together is simply masterful. The only quibble is the lack of information on Bruce's early life. Things to love about this film:* the Game of Death sequence, fully restored, edited and soundtracked to Bruce's wishes (according to recently found production notes)* The one finger (and a thumb) pressups - although rather short* The one inch punch Truly awesome and 10/10.
