Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (1/10) Movie CLIP - Fighting the Sailors (1993) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
While at the 1961 Lantern Festival, Bruce Lee (Jason Scott Lee) takes on sailors who disrespect a girl and try to ruin the dance.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
The brief but eventful life of actor and martial arts trailblazer Bruce Lee is portrayed in this drama, based on a biography written by his widow Linda Lee Caldwell. Lee is introduced to the study of martial arts as a child living in Hong Kong by his father (Ric Young); the father dreamed that a demonic armored dragon would take his son from him, and wanted young Bruce to be able to protect himself. Bruce continues his training as he grows to adulthood, and after the cocky teenaged Lee (Jason Scott Lee, no relation to Bruce) seriously injures a prominent British citizen while fighting a gang of troublemakers at a dance, he's sent to San Francisco. While working as a dishwasher, Bruce begins to study philosophy, and in time develops a personal martial arts discipline, Jeet Kune-Do, which blends Kung Fu fighting techniques with lessons gained from his philosophical research. Bruce decides to open a martial arts academy on the advice of his fiancée Linda (Lauren Holly); Linda and Bruce encounter resistance as a mixed-race couple, especially from Linda's mother Vivian (Michael Learned), and Bruce earns the enmity of traditional Chinese martial arts experts for his new style. But after a strong showing in several public tournaments, Bruce's fighting skill and charisma attracts the attention of TV producer Bill Krieger (Robert Wagner). Bruce is cast as Kato, the karate-trained sidekick on the series The Green Hornet, and while the show is short-lived in America, it's a huge success in Asia, leading to a series of films based around Bruce's remarkable fighting skills. Sadly, shortly before the release of the film that would make him a major screen star in the United States, Enter The Dragon, a mysterious brain disorder sends Lee into a coma that soon kills him. In a tragedy with eerie timing, Bruce Lee's real-life son Brandon Lee died shortly before this film was released, the result of an accidental shooting while completing the picture The Crow.

One of my favorite movies of all time. Watched it when it came out and was blown away. Jason Scott Lee was phenomenal. Rest In Peace to the Dragon 🐉

[jibrankhan]

Outstanding performance by Jason Scott Lee in the lead role. Even though he looks nothing like Bruce Lee, he still gets his mannerisms, voice and other aspects of the main character spot on. Well done to him. 

[terrelltownsend]

"She IS one of my own." I like that comeback.

[charlesseccia]

Jason Scott Lee should've won an Oscar for his performance in this

Hey, that's me singing the lead on the song playing during this scene, Hong Kong Cha Cha. I sang it in English and Chinese, coached by Xiao Fen Min, the Pi Pa musician. Recorded at Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, CA - composed by Randy Edelman.

"Bruce, why do you have a chain whip in your pants?"
"I'm going dancing later."
"Oh, okay, that makes sense."

I thought this movie was so good never get tire of watching it.

[LiunaTiger]

I remember how much my late father loved it, watching it in the 90s. He also listened to its soundtrack on CD seperately. I first heard that and saw the movie later. This is a great entrance and introduction of Bruce as the protagonist with his own style, characteristics. Loved reatching it after a long time.
