Bruce lee appreciation
Me and My husband are huge Bruce Lee fans, we have his movies on VHS, remember those?, lol, we've had them for ages and ages, we introduced our kids to Bruce Lee's legand by showing them all of the 6 movies in one weekend a few years ago! It was so much fun to see those movies again.
Bruce Lee and those karate sticks were the biggest thing in the ghetto when I was coming of age back in the 70's since the popularity of bell bottom tight pants and afro picks left in your fro'!
There were BIG Bruce Lee poster's everywhere you turned and when a kid would get into a fight, he would do a popular bruce lee move on the other kid, mind you, none of us knew anything about karate. Our only lessons were when we went to see a Bruce Lee movie.
And damn he was sooooooo fine! Me and my lil friends back in the day all had crushes on him.
He absolutely changed the way action movies were done. He raised the stake very high.
We watched a documentary with his daughter over a year ago, they were about to open a U.S memorial , museum or something for him, right?
Motown's Campy 1985 Martial Arts/Music Mash-Up The Last Dragon Remains a Winner. It's Got the Glow!
Welcome, friends, to the latest entry in Control Nathan Rabin 4.0. It’s the career and site-sustaining column that gives YOU, the kindly, Christ-like, unbelievably sexy Nathan Rabin’s Happy Place patron, an opportunity to choose a movie that I must watch, and then write about, in exchange for a one-time, one hundred dollar pledge to the site’s Patreon account. The price goes down to seventy-five dollars for all subsequent choices.
The 1985 R&B martial arts comedy/Bruce Lee homage The Last Dragon falls into the fairly sizable category of movies I distinctly if vaguely remembered really digging as a kid and have alway wanted to re-watch.
That’s where you beautiful people come in. It was chosen as part of the Kickstarter for my extremely purchasable new book The Joy of Trash. That meant that it was no longer a mere possibility but rather an inevitability and a responsibility.
As professional responsibilities go, having to re-watch a fun movie from your childhood that you have enormous nostalgia for is tough to beat.
I don’t entirely remember where, but I remember watching The Last Dragon in the theater during its release in 1985 when I was nine years old. It’s possible that I saw it at a drive-in, the ideal location, but I also could have watched it in the mall where my dad worked as a real estate agent.
Regardless, I have very fond memories of it, in part because my dad taught me at a young age that Berry Gordy was a great man and created a musical empire almost unparalleled in our time.
In other words, he raised me right. I don’t want to brag but I’m probably only the white person alive familiar with core Motown artists like Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder and the Supremes.

For other uses, see Bruce Lee (disambiguation). In this Hong Kong name, the surname is Lee. Bruce Lee (born Lee Jun-fan; November 27, 1940 – July 20, 1973) was a Hong Kong-American martial artist, actor, filmmaker, and philosopher. He was the founder of Jeet Kune Do, a hybrid martial arts philosophy which was formed from Lee's experiences in unarmed fighting and self-defense—as well as eclectic, Zen Buddhist and Taoist philosophies—as a new school of martial arts thought. With a film career spanning Hong Kong and the United States, Lee is regarded as the first global Chinese film star and one of the most influential martial artists in the history of cinema. Known for his roles in five feature-length martial arts films, Lee is credited with helping to popularize martial arts films in the 1970s and promoting Hong Kong action cinema. Born in San Francisco and raised in British Hong Kong, Lee was introduced to the Hong Kong film industry as a child actor by his father. His early martial arts experience included Wing Chun (trained under Ip Man), tai chi, boxing (winning a Hong Kong boxing tournament), and frequent street fighting (neighborhood and rooftop fights). In 1959, Lee moved to Seattle, where he enrolled at the University of Washington in 1961. It was during this time in the United States that he began considering making money by teaching martial arts, even though he aspired to have a career in acting. He opened his first martial arts school, operated out of his home in Seattle. After later adding a second school in Oakland, California, he once drew significant attention at the 1964 Long Beach International Karate Championships of California by making demonstrations and speaking.
