Anyway, more Bruce is good Bruce in my book. There are rumours circulating online that he died cause of a drug overdose... Hopefully this movie can get rid of those accusations. Another fun fact, Bosnia created a bronze statue of him. "Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend." - Bruce Lee I’m a bit of a Bruce Lee fanatic, has anyone else seen that Chinese movie, I think its called “Lei Siu Lung jyu ngo”, anyway, its this totally bizarre biopic of Bruce, which has all these totally inaccurate things going on, in fact in the movie I don’t think he even meets his caucasian wife, or is in america, most of the film takes place in China, and he’s with Betty Ting Pei the whole time.

I'm surprised that Lee's window isn't involved with the project since I thought all rights to image, etc. of a deceased person is inheirited by his/her immediate family, which would be the Widow Lee and his daughter, not Lee's siblings. Recently, I learned that Lee was also part German, that he was born in the U.S but moved to Hong Kong as a toddler, and then returned to the U.S. So, I wonder if the story will focus on his childhood and the years before he met his wife. Otherwise, I'm not sure what the new film could add that the other film didn't include (of course that film was a love story that never showed Lee's parents or siblings).
