Bruce Lee Library is a series of volumes covering Bruce Lee's life and martial arts system of Jeet Kune Do. The volumes were compiled and edited by John Little; famous as a Bruce Lee biographer. John Little was selected by the Bruce Lee estate as the only person authorized to review the entirety of Lee's personal notes and to write and edit books on Lee's martial arts system of Jeet Kune Do

Much of the materials used for these volumes were from Bruce Lee's own notes and writings made available by Bruce Lee's widow Linda Lee Cadwell. Lee had compiled many volumes worth of materials during his convalescence after he suffered a back injury during one of his practice sessions in 1970. Some of these materials were published in the early 1970's as The Tao of Jeet Kune Do. During the late 1990's this material was revisited and compiled into five core texts and various other Bruce Lee biographies. These volumes are a combination of Lee's original materials along interviews and conversations with many of Bruce Lee's students, friends, family members, and fellow actors. This series is published by the "Charles E. Tuttle Co., Inc.

Rocky is a 1976 film written by and starring Sylvester Stallone and directed by John G. Avildsen. It tells the rags-to-riches American Dream story of Rocky Balboa, an uneducated but good-hearted debt collector for a loan shark in Philadelphia. Balboa is also a club fighter who gets a shot at the world heavyweight championship when the scheduled contender breaks his hand. Also starring in Rocky are Talia Shire as Adrian, Burt Young as Adrian's brother Paulie, Burgess Meredith as Mickey Goldmill, Rocky's trainer, and Carl Weathers as the champion, Apollo Creed.

The film, made for only US$1.2 million,[1] and shot relatively fast in 28 days, was a sleeper hit; it made over US$117.2 million,[2] won three Oscars, including Best Picture, and garnered mostly positive reviews which helped to launch Stallone's career.[3] The film spawned five sequels: Rocky II, III, IV, V and Rocky Balboa.

Tai Chi Master (also released as Twin Warriors on video in the USA) is a 1993 Hong Kong martial arts action/adventure film starring Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh. It was directed by Yuen Wo Ping and written by Yip Kwong Kim.

Drunken Master (traditional Chinese: 醉拳; pinyin: zuì quán, literally drunken fist) is a Hong Kong movie directed by Yuen Woo-ping, starring Jackie Chan, Yuen Siu Tien (aka Simon Yuen), and Hwang Jang-Lee, first released in 1978. It was Chan's first big hit, and is an early example of the comedic martial arts style for which he is famous.

Chan's character, Wong Fei Hung, is a figure from Chinese history, a martial artist, a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, and a revolutionary. He became a Chinese folk hero and is the subject of many Hong Kong television programmes and films. The character of the Su Hua Chi, the Beggar So, is another real life character from Chinese folklore, and is said to have been an associate of Wong Fei Hung.

Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior (Thai: องค์บาก; IPA: [ɔːŋbaːk]) is a 2003 Thai action film. It was directed by Prachya Pinkaew, featured stunt choreography by Panna Rittikrai and starred Tony Jaa. Ong-Bak proved to be Jaa's breakout film, with the actor hailed internationally as the next major martial-arts star. Jaa went on to star in Tom-Yum-Goong (called The Protector in the US and Warrior King in the UK) and is directing a sequel to Ong-Bak, Ong-Bak 2.

Ong-Bak is an unabashed "Hey, look at what I can do!" action movie[1][2]starring the main character's martial abilities.[3] Its onrush of chase scenes, hand-to-hand combat and acrobatics, [4] sometimes shown multiple times from different angles,[3]drew notice for its quality, inventive moves [4]and lack of CGI and wire-fu.[5]

The Last Samurai is an action/drama film written by John Logan and Edward Zwick & Marshall Herskovitz based on a story by Logan. This movie was directed by Edward Zwick that was released in the United States on December 5, 2003. The plot deals with American soldier Nathan Algren (played by Tom Cruise) whose personal and emotional conflicts bring him into contact with samurai in the wake of the Meiji Restoration in the Empire of Japan between 1876 and 1877.

The film's plot is loosely based on the 1877 Satsuma Rebellion led by Saigō Takamori, and also on the story of Jules Brunet, a French army captain who fought alongside Enomoto Takeaki in the Boshin War. The historical roles in Japanese westernization by the United Kingdom, Germany and France are largely attributed to the United States in the film, and characters in the film and the real story are simplified for plot purposes. While it is not an accurate source of historical information, the film illustrates some major issues in Japanese history.

Game of Death (Chinese: 死亡遊戲) was the film Bruce Lee had planned to be the demonstration piece of his martial art Jeet Kune Do. Fifty-four minutes of footage was shot before his death, some of which was later lost and has not yet been recovered. The remaining footage has been released with Bruce Lee's original English dubbing as part of the documentary entitled Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey. Most of the footage which was shot is from what was to be the centre piece of the film.

While in the middle of filming Game of Death, Bruce Lee was given the offer to star in Enter The Dragon. The first kung fu film to be produced by a Hollywood studio, and with a budget unprecedented for the genre, it was an offer Lee could not refuse. Unfortunately, Lee died of cerebral edema only a month before the film's release. At the time of his death, he had already made plans to resume the filming of Game of Death.

After Lee's death, Enter The Dragon director Robert Clouse was enlisted to direct additional scenes featuring a stand-in which, when pieced together with the original footage as well as other footage from earlier in Bruce Lee's career, would form a new film (also entitled Game of Death) which was released in 1978, five years after his death, by Columbia Pictures.

Enter the Dragon (《龍爭虎鬥》 aka. The Deadly Three, originally titled Blood and Steel is a 1973 Warner Brothers martial arts film starring martial artist Bruce Lee, John Saxon and Jim Kelly. It is the last completed film Bruce Lee appeared in before his death. He died the month before it was released.

It is considered by many to be the definitive Kung Fu film, and was the first Kung Fu film to have been made by a Hollywood studio. It has one of the most influential martial arts scenes ever made - the Nunchaku scene. The film is largely set in Hong Kong (see Hong Kong in films).

Although they had acted in films and Peking opera decades before, the Seven Little Fortunes, including Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung, were stuntmen for the film. This was arguably instrumental in Jackie Chan's and Sammo Hung's further association with Golden Harvest studios, which later launched their career.

The finished version of the film was significantly different from the original drafts. Bruce Lee was ultimately successful in using the film as a vehicle for expressing what he saw as the beauty of his culture, rather than just another action movie.

The Warner Brothers Special Edition video includes footage from the only live interview of Bruce Lee, as well as a few minutes of movie footage, philosophical in tone, cut from the original theatrical release.

Way of the Dragon (《猛龍過江》 released as Return of the Dragon in the U.S.) was the third major film of Martial Arts Legend Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee was the leading role, writer, director, and producer of this film.

Tang Lung (Bruce Lee), is sent from Hong Kong to Rome to help a family friend whose restaurant is being targeted by the local mafia. After their offers to purchase the restaurant outright are repeatedly turned down, the gangsters turn to intimidation. Tang Lung fends off the local gangsters, but that doesn't stop the Mafia boss. He hires martial arts experts, the best of whom is known as "Colt" (Chuck Norris). Inevitably, this leads to a showdown between Tang Lung and Colt in the Colosseum.

Only The Strong is a 1993 action film, directed by Sheldon Lettich. It is considered to be the only Hollywood film that showcases Capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian martial art, from beginning to end.

Former Green Beret Louis Stevens (Mark Dacascos) returns to his hometown of Miami after completing military service in Brazil, only to learn that his old high school has become a haven for gangs and drug dealers. After Stevens uses his capoeira skills to kick several drug dealers off of the school property, Kerrigan (Geoffrey Lewis), one of Stevens' old teachers, sees the impact that Stevens has on the students. Kerrigan gives him the task of teaching Capoeira to a handful of the worst at-risk students at the school.

While doing so, Stevens earns the ire of the local drug lord, Silverio (Paco Christian Prieto), whose younger cousin is one of Stevens' students.

Fist of Fury (Simplified Chinese: 精武门; Traditional Chinese: 精武門; Pinyin: Jīng wǔ mén; known as The Chinese Connection in the U.S., not to be confused with Fists of Fury) was a 1972 film directed by Lo Wei. It starred Bruce Lee in his second major film after The Big Boss. The film depicts a martial art school in Shanghai which fought against a Japanese Judo school.

The film is loosely based on Jing Wu Men (Jing Mo), the actual school from which the film took its Chinese title. The plot featured the story of Chen Zhen (陳真, played by Bruce Lee), a fictional character created by director Lo Wei for the film.[1] Chen Zhen is shown as a student of the real-life martial artist Huo Yuanjia (霍元甲; Cantonese: Fok Yun Gap) who, after the mysterious death of Huo, fought the Hongkou Dojo of Suzuki Taro.

The film is set in 1908, during the occupation of Shanghai by several foreign countries, including Japan. The film is famous for the scene in which Chen Zhen is denied entry into a park bearing a sign stating "No Dogs and Chinese Allowed." After the guards at the park allowed a foreigner's dog to enter the park, a group of Japanese approached Chen, informing that he had to pretend to be a dog before being allowed inside the park. Chen became furious and proceeded to attack the Japanese with punches and kicks. After that, he kicked the offending sign in the air and broke it with a flying kick.

The film also featured the nunchaku, two sticks connected by a chain and used as a weapon by Bruce Lee in the movie.

The U.S. title The Chinese Connection, trading off the popularity of the recently-released Gene Hackman film The French Connection, was originally intended for Bruce Lee's previous film, The Big Boss, due to the drugs theme of that movie. However, the U.S. titles for the films were swapped for an unknown reason so this film has carried the title The Chinese Connection ever since, despite being obviously unrelated to the content of the movie. The Big Boss in the U.S. had the title Fists of Fury, leading to much confusion.

This film is arguably Bruce Lee's most influential work, as it is one of the main reasons behind the shift in Hong Kong cinema from swordplay to empty-handed fighting, which initiated the "Golden era of Kung Fu Cinema" of the 1970s.

The Big Boss (1971, 唐山大兄, also known as Fists of Fury in the U.S., not to be confused with Fist of Fury) was Bruce Lee's first major film. Initially, the star of the film was intended to be James Tien but Lee's strong performance relegated Tien, then a major star in Hong Kong, to second billing. His success in this film made Bruce Lee a star across Asia.

It tells the story of Cheng, a Chinese man from Guangdong who goes to work in an ice house in Thailand, along with his cousins. This operation turns out to be a cover for drug smuggling. Workers who discover the truth are murdered. When his cousins suspect this, they too are secretly killed. Discovering Cheng's fighting skills, the Big Boss of the title attempts to lure him with a promotion and prostitutes, but Cheng is told the truth. A final showdown ensues when Cheng's girlfriend is kidnapped and he must face "The Big Boss".
