The History Channel's How Bruce Lee Changed the World explores the amazing multitude of ways that Bruce Lee--the first international Asian superstar--has influenced pop culture. Calling Lee "the biggest movie star in history" is a bit of a stretch (though every shot of this hypnotically charismatic performer argues that he might have been, had he not died abruptly before the release of his fourth and most successful movie, Enter the Dragon). A wealth of interviewees, ranging from filmmakers like Jackie Chan (who was a stunt man on Lee's movies in his early career), John Woo, and Brett Ratner, comedians like Eddie Griffin and Margaret Cho, musicians like LL Cool J, RZA, and Damon Albarn, athletes like boxer Sugar Ray Leonard and bodybuilder Flex Wheeler, and more, testify to the enormous impression Lee had on them. The documentary overreaches at some points, but there's no denying that Lee brought martial arts movies to the West and redefined the image of Asian men in the public consciousness (before him, Asian men were fiends like Fu Manchu, servants, or buffoons). Lee's life history is efficiently told and some of the details are delightful--who would have guessed Lee was a champion cha-cha dancer in Hong Kong? His audition for The Green Hornet reveals a movie star just waiting to be discovered. The man himself--lithe and muscular, capable of astonishing speed and grace, radiating both intelligence and passion--makes all commentary unnecessary. --Bret Fetzer

Awesome February 22, 2010
Gabriel J. Barrio (Las Cruces,NM)
I strongly believe that Bruce Lee changed many facets of the world and without him the world would not have had the many advances in sports/martial arts/advertising and entertainment. I know I sound like I work for some lame company but nope, I live in little Las Cruces, NM and thought this movie captured the spirit of one of my personal heros. Bruce Lee. Rest in Peace.

Sam M. Duarte (Bakersfield Ca.)
I have been a fan of Bruce Lee's for over 30 yrs.now, essentially most of my life. I am familiar with much of the information in this DVD, however, it is quite impressive to see how far Bruce Lee's influence has been felt beyond people who are not only martial artists, but come from many other disciplines as well. That I did not know. Though I greatly doubt I will ever come close to being the martial artist he was, he has often served as a compass for me to continue striving and growing,and not only in the martial arts. For this, I am grateful I dicovered him as a boy initially. He was mortal as we all are,but what he accomplished in his short lifetime because of his determination, is as inspirational as any spiritual leader could also hope to achieve,in my humble opinion. Here was an individual who in real life,was the David to the Goliath.He helped bridge the gap between the East and West, and thereby bridge the divisions we make amongst ourselves,our fellow man. At a time when he faced much opposition, makes him that much more admirable. It is great to see Linda and Shannon Lee on this DVD, and to see how they intend to continue perputating Bruce's legacy for future generations. I recommend this DVD to any martial artist, and to anyone curious as to who Bruce Lee was and why he even mattered.
A 'must' for any serious martial arts or film collection November 16, 2009
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
How Bruce Lee Changed the World is a 'must' for any library strong in martial arts history. This DVD provides his who biography, from his birth in San Francisco to his mysterious death at the age of 32. It also follows how ancient martial arts were fostered by his films, and offer rare interviews and home movies from big martial arts film names. A 'must' for any serious martial arts or film collection.
