Birth of the Dragon 2016
Me, during the first 20 minutes: "Why is Bruce Lee such a dick?"
Me, about 20 minutes later: "Okay, now I understand why Bruce Lee is such a dick. He's young, and brash, and will learn humility in the end."
Me, at the end of the movie: "Why is Bruce Lee still such a dick?"
And finally, me throughout the entire movie: "Where's Bruce Lee? It's like he's a supporting character in his own movie."

Young Bruce Lee: The Little Dragon 1976
This is a collection of clips from a number of Bruce Lee's childhood movies that he acted in.
There is nothing inherently bad. Lee fans will love the fact that they can own pieces of extremely rare footage of the man before he became the Dragon.

The Legend of Bruce Lee 2010
God almighty! What a terrible film.
Yet another abysmal and ridiculously inaccurate re-interpretation of the life of martial artist Bruce Lee. Forgettable and infuriating to the end. Nevermind Bruces' one inch punch, on Bruce's behalf I truly wish to drive a 12" spike through the heart of this exploitative and disgraceful piece of celluloid junk and all involved in its making.
See Dragon: the Bruce Lee Story or 'Young Bruce Lee' but do not waste time on this.
Better still…

The Big Boss 1971
Fun little Bruce Lee film that takes a little bit to get going, but once the fists start to fly it turns into a solid Bruce Lee beatdown. Lee oozes charisma as usual as a young laborer that finds out that the company that he is working for is smuggling dope. Lee confronts the situation and all his friends get killed off in the process leaving Lee to do what he does best. Kick everyone’s ass.

Bruce Lee and the Outlaw 2018
An impressive documentary that sees the film-maker attempting to maintain a distance while also stepping it at a vital point to help the young boy at the heart of the main narrative, Bruce Lee And The Outlaw is a mix of strange characters, difficult circumstances, and just enough optimism to sugarcoat the bitter pill.

The Way of the Dragon 1972
A fun martial action movie with young legendary Bruce Lee who fights other bad guys and soon his new opponent,Chuck Norris. This was very cool and just plain entertaining. It's a simple masterpiece for many generations. Bruce Lee is a martial arts/actor God.

Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story 1993
Bio-pics are often a mixed bag - sometimes too formulaic, other times too revisionist. After seeing the controversy surrounding Tarrantino's depiction of Bruce Lee in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," I came across "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story" (1993) and decided to tune in. What a pleasant surprise! Jason Scott Lee stars as the iconic Chinese-American who comes to San Francisco from Hong Kong with a dream to be someone. I found Lee so likable that it was impossible…

The Wrecking Crew 1968
The stench of bourbon wafts from the screen as a tan-painted Dean Martin leches over a string of young lovelies, but is constantly interrupted by Sharon Tate. Slower than a Warhol film. Bruce Lee is credited as “karate advisor.” Imagining Bruce Lee trying desperately to coach a drunken Dean Martin on how to kick.
Phil Karlson completionism may not be advisable.

Game of Death 1978
The story and the final 15 minutes of Game of Death saves it. I'm giving it 3 stars for those two things.
The cardboard Bruce Lee cut out and the easily visible Lee double is atrocious.
Gig Young and Dean Jagger make the movie better than it really is. Bob Wall also makes for an intimidating henchman, as he always did in a Bruce Lee film.
This is really a higher quality and budgeted "Bruceploitation" movie at the end of the day.

Enter the Dragon 1973
I had no idea Bruce Lee died so young, was so great watching him in this. True classic.

The Big Boss 1971
Bruce Lee's first film, The Big Boss - Like Enter the Dragon, it isn't a good film, though Bruce Lee is good IN it, which is probably why we should be sad Bruce died so young. He never got to make some really good and well-produced action films. The Chinese dub has intrusive music and terribly timed sound effects which they fix in the English dub, but at the cost of Bruce's trademark "intimidation cooing". Overall, I think while the sound is technically better, it makes the film flatter.

Fist of Fury 1972
“How can a healthy man die so young?” - Chen Zhen
Bruce Lee kicks the final boss into outerspace.
