This documentary has opted to take a different approach in relating the Bruce Lee story. Various people who were interviewed for this tribute, seem to place a lot of emphasis upon the less positive aspects of the martial arts legend. Bruce Lee's lack of patience whilst teaching his students, his affair with Betty Ting Pei, an alleged encounter with a crime syndicate during the filming of "The Big Boss," his being open in criticising the traditional styles and having a tendency to brag and to showboat. Some of the above is best taken with a grain of salt. There are better documentaries out there.
