Dragon: the Bruce Lee Story
| Year: | 1993 |
| Director: | Rob Cohen |
| Cast: | Jason Scott Lee, Lauren Holly, Robert Wagner |
Jason Lee is joyously eager playing his namesake in this biopic of the martial arts movie master, and the story of his life is - while pretty commercial and straight-arrow, very enjoyable. The element of the demon samurai/demon creature following Lee throughout his life was interesting symbolism - was it death stalking him, or his own fear of failure?
It's most likely a highly stylised take on his journey (you can't imagine the fight atop the restaurant's rooftop rafters taking place anywhere but in a movie) but does at least Lee's spirit good if not the man himself.
