Description: Bruce Lee: The Legend 1984 is a documentary that delves into the life and legacy of the martial arts icon Bruce Lee. Although produced in 1984, the film maintains a timeless quality, offering insights into Lee’s life and early years. However, it falls short in exploring the production of his renowned martial arts films, and the final section of the documentary comes across as exploitative. The inclusion of extensive footage from Lee’s funeral and even his corpse feels deeply disrespectful. Additionally, the documentary features a commercial for the 1978 film *Game of Death*, which includes individuals who appear to lack genuine admiration for Lee’s work. Overall, this film does not serve as the heartfelt tribute or fitting farewell one might expect, especially from Golden Harvest, the studio that Bruce Lee helped propel to fame.
