Summary: I should give it a 3/5, but video asia didn't screw up this dvd near as bad as the others in the collection.
Comment: Now the last reviewer may not have been a bruce lee fan, but I am. I found this documentary absolutely fascinating. Is is not spectacular, but very well done.
The documantary itself is truly one of the better investigation movies about his death.
And the commentary is very good. Though terrible audio quality, still worth listening too a couple of times. The doctor that first looked at Bruce, Dr. Don Langford was in like half of the documentary and then is on about 30 minutes of the commentary! It is so insightful that I have alreadsy listened to it twice. It is very interesting.
Now the audio is fine on the movie itself, but like I said is just really bad on the commentary. Still, worth turning up the volume and checking this out if you are a Bruce Lee fan.

Summary: Good but could have been better
Comment: This is not for real Bruce Lee fans as we have all seen the childhood footages, imitators, and movie documentaries many times. The so called "never before seen footages" can also be seen in other Bruce Lee documentaries and demonstration tapes. What is most upsetting is the use of Bruce bio movie clips when talking about Bruce's movies. Why weren't actual Bruce Lee movie clips used to better describe his movies and martial arts ability. The only part that were worth paying for are the interviews and demonstrations.

Summary: Excellent documentary!!
Comment: Wow!Finally,a no holds barred account of how Bruce Lee REALLY died!
The documentary is the best I've seen to date,and the rare footage is amazing.Bruce as Jerry Lewis and James Dean is priceless(clips from his childhood films).Some awesome demos by Bruce and lots of photos.
Bonus materials are plentiful.Loads of extra and extended interviews,and a killer audio commentary.
Very good work on the whole.
