Huge fans may well have seen a lot of the footage on here and heard all the stories from his past and early fame,but it's still well worth another look when things are put together this well. We all know BRUCE was a master of his art and still considered to be the best by many today,well this doesn't try to take that away fom him,it just gives us more reason to say it. Lots of old film footage with interviews from various people thrown in,people like his wife and dauhter,but also cage fighters,dancers,etc...giving us another way of looking at what BRUCE LEE did. We have memories of the man he was aswell as fans talking about why they love his work so much,even a few comments saying perhaps he wasn't the best,just to even it out a bit.
But for me,he was the best at what he did,his films amazed me and his style,which was pretty much free flowing as he would adapt to anything,was enough to impress many an onlooker.
If you don't know much about BRUCE LEE,then this will be a great way of learning,if you do know a lot,just enjoy it. This is his story from his early childhood to his sad death,which even puts some silly rumours in their place. If you like the idea of a film that tells you pretty much all you need about this legend,here it is.

I enjoyed 'Iam Bruce Lee' but to be honest it certainly isn't the best Documentary ever released on the master.
It does have some interesting and well balanced interviews with people who either love Bruce Lee or are skeptical of his prowess in Martial Art. Where the Documentary falls down is the typical american style of presentation. For instance, a person will be starting an anecdote and then it cuts to another talking head finishing the anecdote so you never get the full story from the person being interviewed. You also get hit over the head with superimposed titles reminding us of Bruce lees philosophy quotes as they are spoken. Its rather like being treated like a ten year old who is given his first lesson in Bruce lee.
The documentary moves very fast, maybe too fast. Rare stills of Bruce are only glimpsed seconds before cutting away to another talking head. The viewer never gets the chance to enjoy or study them long enough, unless you hit the pause of course. I also found using clips from his films as a narrative to actual moments in Bruce's real life rather cheesy. As for rare footage, there isn't a lot here fans haven't seen before. However, near the end of the documentary there is some brilliant footage shot on the set of 'Enter the dragon'. This is probably from actress Ahna Capri's 8mm movie camera. In one segment we get to see Bruce Lee actually doing a disco style boogie on the 'Enter the dragon' courtyard set. Its fun to watch and also see what a natural dancer he really was!
This footage could be a clue to what is yet to be shown and never seen before, in the up and coming anniversary release of ETD. 'Iam Bruce Lee' is worth watching, but for me, I still rate " How Bruce Lee changed the world" as the ultimate Documentary.

There are lots of garage forecourt DVD docs on Bruce Lee's life that don't really cut it.
Some concentrate on his impact on martial arts, others cobble together whatever public domain material they can but few give a wide ranging take on his life and contribution not just to action cinema and combat sport but across all of pop culture. I Am Bruce Lee acts as both in depth biography and an examination of Lee's influence of music, dance, sport and style.
This is the first wholly satisfying look at the life and work of one of the 20th centuries most iconic figures.
