Just saw Dragon the Bruce Lee Story
I was years after Bruce's son Brandon was killed on the set of the "Crow" read some interesting facts on both of them
While Bruce had no acting experience
Brandon studied acting with the famous Lee Strasberg and traveled with theatre groups and with off-Broadway productions so that he could distance himself from the typical "I am Bruce's kid and/or just another martial arts action hero" because Brandon considered himself an actor first way, way, before he was a martial arts and gave up the martial arts so that he could concentrate on acting.
Bruce Lee, though he has been dead for more than 30 years, and his legacy still lives on and Jeet Kune Do, the art he founded is very, very, popular and even though he got a degree at a California college not in acting but like chinese philosophy but Brandon proved much more smarter than his dad and Brandon thought the Crow would give him the stardom and prove that he is really an actor!! But it would be his "legacy" as the movie that killed him and a bright career!!:( :(

Bruce Lee was awesome. I actually share the same birthday as the late martial arts master.

The Crow is one of those films I've always wanted to see, and still haven't got round to seeing it yet. It's pretty creepy though that Brandon was killed making it- there's a book out now about the making of The Crow, with lots of information, and interviews with some people who knew Brandon Lee.

My dad went to see it in a theatre and it was too satanic and had too much witchcraft which all of my family doesn't like because of our Christianity upbringing but I saw it six months ago and it is creepy!!
