Customer Reviews of The Dragon Lives
WEIRD...VERY WEIRD 1st things 1st, the following review is for The Dragon Lives(not to be confused with "Bruce Lee:The Man,the Myth" which also happens to be entitled "The Dragon Lives" in some countries), starring the man himself, Ho Chung Tao. Having seen and collected virtually every attempted Bruce Lee biopic, I had The Dragon Lives to arrive a couple of days ago, and having watched it for the 1st time in life(I swear, this movie got NO play in ATL back in the 80's), my overall impression was that TDLives, in comparison to the other biopics, was one of the WEIRDEST approaches to the life of Bruce Lee one could ever imagine. Here we have a Bruce Lee who acts HOKEY and BUFFOONISH(reminding you more of Jackie Chan at 1st than Bruce Lee), a persistent GOOD OMEN/BAD OMEN THEME/SEQUENCE(w/t thunderbolts, earthquakes and all),a terribly happy-go-lucky soundtrack, exagerrated on-the-spot challenges/feuds, and a rather STRANGE approach to his death(a rather long, drawn out, and over-killed sex scene with Betty Ting Pei, after which he laughs like a madman before "dying"). However, the positives are the way Bruce's character is matured with experience, the action/fight choreography is strong(awesome recreations of Big Boss and Fist of Fury are there), and even his "feud" with the "boxing champion" from the Long Beach competition, in my opinion, gave us a glimpse at what might have been had Bruce Lee and Muhammad Ali gotten into the ring and squared off. Pretty much, TDLives is to Bruce Lee:The Man,the Myth as the Last Temptation of Christ would be in comparison and contrast with the Passion of the Christ. Great movie, lots of action, lots of laughs(via the comical,Jackie Chan-like approach to Bruce's character), and it was true to the time in which Bruce Lee lived...however, contrary to the claims of the production team, TDLives is far from being the most accurate Bruce Lee biopic. There's only a glimpse of his marriage and Brandon Lee(no Shannon) and then he jumps into an affair and "dies" laughing. WEIRD, and for once I'd recommend Bruce Lee:A Dragon Story and Bruce Lee and I over a particular biopic,but TDLives is still a keeper.
THE DRAGON LIVES
Okay. If you're buying this DVD hoping to see "The Man The Myth", then you could be disapointed. However, the movie here is THE DRAGON LIVES another Bruce Lee movie! Possibly the best!
disappointed
I thought this DVD was a movie called "Bruce Lee, the Man the Myth" that starred Bruce Li as Bruce Lee in a recreation of his life. I was wrong. There is no character called Butchie, Bruce doesn't have multiple endings, and this Bruce doesn't go around parading the Chinese and the superiority of Kung Fu nor does he kick arse. This completely different movie is kind of about Bruce Lee but this Bruce keeps losing fights and the movie is just plain bad.
Besides being mistaken for another movie, the DVD is very plain and bare bones. The video and audio quality is expectedly poor.
