Let's be realistic.

Good start, but then it gets ruined

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The acting in this movie is really good.

This is one of the best documentaries out there made about the greatest martial artist ever appeared on the silver screen. 'Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey' doesn't concentrate not so much about the legendary actor's career in films, but more on his philisophies on fighting, film making and life in general. Most people know Bruce Lee as one of the greatest film stars and action heroes throughout the film history, and that's it. Actually Bruce was much more - he was philosopher at first, all the reast came after that. And this documentary does excellent job to explaining Bruce Lee's mindset.The second part of the movie contains the completed footage of 'The Death Game' like Bruce had intended to be with original dialogue. To know how much effort Bruce put into 'The Game of Death' it is almost painful to know about the botched up 1978 versioon directed by Robert Clouse. One can only think, if only. . .Bruce Lee was highly skillful martial artist (who turned his body into piece of art itself), thoughtful philosopher, dedicated actor, masterful filmmaker. And he didn't let his sudden stardom get into his head. All he wanted to do was to create great art.

For years i was subjected to the other well known doc. Bruce lee: The Man, The Myth, and as a young kid i knew this doc. was done poorly. WHAT I failed to understand at that young age (i was 9 at the time) was that a lot of Bruce lee's life was not well known yet. I later hoped that a documentary telling more of lee's life as we learned more through time from friends, family, and former students would someday be made.Fast forward 17 years, this doc comes out and it was incredible. So much more was discovered about his life since that made him an even more mythical human being since his passing. It's amazing how many things were influenced by him, from various types of workouts to protein drinks before all that became popular in mainstream culture.However, the best was saved for last......the original 41 min of footage he filmed for the game of death before he stopped production to film Enter The Dragon and was left incomplete due to his passing. I can only imagine how awesome this film would have been if it was completed. it probably would have topped Enter The Dragon as the greatest martial arts epic ever.If you haven't seen this film yet and you are a Bruce lee fan.......BUY IT.......Don't RENT IT! BUY IT!!!!!

Man, I was shell shocked. I actually saw this on AMC for the first time and was blown away by the in-depth interviews with Bruce, not to mention his spectacular demonstrations. John Little gets big credit for putting this masterpiece together.I got so much more information about Bruce from this one. You really get to see him as a person, how his beliefs shaped Jeet Kun Do and how he applied it to life in general. Hearing Bruce speak shows how intelligent and philosophical he was, humble, very down to earth....a very likeable guy. It's such a shame to think what potential he would have had if he hadn't died in 1973. Hearing everyone from Linda to Kareem and others speak about him show what an impact he had on others...and not just kung fu. I had known that he defied tradition by teaching "anyone" kung fu and this shows Bruce was a great man. His belief in the "way" and "no limitation as limitation" is really thought provoking as well.The creme de la creme was the hidden footage from Game of Death they discovered. Bruce's vision and his philosophy on what the different levels represented just made me respect him moreso. Plus, the outtakes of various fight scenes from his film shows his hard work ethic and determination in getting the scene down pat.Overall, I've been a big fan of Bruce Lee since I wore Osh Kosh an this made me admire him so much more. To anyone who wants to learn about Bruce, watch this one. To all his fans, I don't need to tell you what a gem "A Warrior's Journey" is.

This is without a doubt one of the greatest documentaries that I have ever seen. The narration is easy to follow, not too self-consciously obtuse or referential to previous films, and the piecing together is simply masterful. The only quibble is the lack of information on Bruce's early life. Things to love about this film:* the Game of Death sequence, fully restored, edited and soundtracked to Bruce's wishes (according to recently found production notes)* The one finger (and a thumb) pressups - although rather short* The one inch punch Truly awesome and 10/10.
