About Bruce Lee
Bruce Lee worked in both Hong Kong and the United States, becoming the first global Chinese film star. He acted in five feature‑length martial‑arts movies and is remembered as one of the most influential martial artists in cinema history. His creation of Jeet Kune Do combined his experience in unarmed fighting with Zen Buddhist and Taoist ideas, forming a new school of martial‑arts thought. Lee helped popularize martial‑arts films in the 1970s and promoted Hong Kong action cinema.
