Viewing Notes

Variety of talking heads sharing how Bruce Lee influenced/impacted their life. Interesting variety of people interviewed. Weird to go with LL Cool J when I would think they’d want more relevant people like Michael Jai White or any of the up and coming Asian fighter actors (other than Donnie Yen and Jackie Chan, both featured here). Overall this is fine and something you’d expect to see on the History Channel for which it was produced.
