	Dragon - The Bruce Lee Story (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Bruce Lee mania reached a new peak as a direct result, his re-released films immediately shooting into the top ten video charts at the time.
		Dragon's noted descent into a sugar-coated fairy-tale TV movie wasn't all that surprising, what was surprising was why the makers felt it necessary to add such window dressing in the first place.
		Bruce Lee's life was fertile enough to concoct an accurate and exciting script that would have worked well on-screen without any padding or parlour tricks.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story -- Rob Cohen - DVD - Wide Screen
		Lee is introduced to the study of martial arts as a child living in Hong Kong by his father (Ric Young); the father dreamed that a demonic armored dragon would take his son from him, and wanted young Bruce to be able to protect himself.
		Bruce continues his training as he grows to adulthood, and after the cocky teenaged Lee (Jason Scott Lee, no relation to Bruce) seriously injures a prominent British citizen while fighting a gang of troublemakers at a dance, he's sent to San Francisco.
		Bruce decides to open a martial arts academy on the advice of his fiancée Linda (Lauren Holly); Linda and Bruce encounter resistance as a mixed-race couple, especially from Linda's mother Vivian (Michael Learned), and Bruce earns the enmity of traditional Chinese martial arts experts for his new style.

	Emanuel Levy : Review - Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story
		Dragon, a biopicture of the late martial arts expert Bruce Lee, is admittedly enjoyable and entertaining, but it is also old-fashioned and conventional.
		Bruce Lee may have been a larger-than-life figure, but he is regrettably contained in a small-than-art picture.
		Lee's best-known film, Enter the Dragon, was released in l973, just weeks after his premature death, when he was 32 and at his prime.

	Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story
		Bruce Lee was not just a martial artist, he was a man who believed in making himself and his art, his life and his soul, better than it was.
		Dragon contains six separate fight scenes, all very energetic and very faithful to the moves and skill of Bruce Lee in the Kung Fu style he studied since he was a child.
		The story is an innacurate depiction of Bruce Lee.

	Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review.
		I find that Bruce Lee, how he is portrayed in the movie, is an Apostle of sorts...bringing to the world, a sense of beauty and purity of life.
		Lee overtrained, kept late nights, overextended himself at work, spent 'time' with other women other than his wife (died in another woman's apartment of a brain edema), had recurring headaches from overtraining and overstraining, was not....I emphasize...was NOT a good role model for youth.
		I thought that Dragon showed Bruce Lee as a loving and compassionate man. He wanted to bring all of us together and to bring peace and to change the way Asians were depicted on the screen.

	'Dragon The Bruce Lee Story'
		In the tragic aftermath of the death of Brandon Lee (Bruce Lee's son), this Universal Pictures movie (although it was made before the accident) seems like a gross capitalization.
		It doesn't show Bruce Lee dying of a brain edema in the apartment of reputed mistress Betty Ting-Pei -- the latest take on his mysterious 1973 death.
		It's doubly touching to experience Bruce Lee's fleeting life and, in the brief depictions of little son Brandon, to fatefully anticipate the tragedy to come.

		Bruce Lee was pronounced dead on July 20 1973, aged 32.
		Bruce cannot throw or stomp on an opponent or even block attacks, but the counter throw is still available.
		Bruce cannot perform any punches and kicks, but the Nunchaku in the right hands can be a deadly weapon.

	Bruce Lee: A Dragon Story (1974) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Bruce Lee: A Dragon Story was the first semi-biopic to cover the life and death of Bruce Lee.
		Then to have Lee's remaining life reduced to revolving around a love affair with Ting Pei, played by an actress who really hams it up, Li becomes nothing more than a supporting cast member in the movie he's supposed to be starring in as one of the most fascinating personalities of the 20th century.
		Instead of seeing how Lee fought for respect in Hollywood and worked to show his philosophy in his films, we're treated to Lee shown as an indecisive young man who has abandoned his family to cater to the whims of a spoiled film starlet.

	Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story is a dramatization of Bruce's life story, and only has a polite relationship with the facts.
		Dragon sits on the fence between a drama about a man who succeeds in spite of many obstacles (including his own death) and a romance about a woman who will stand by him in spite of everything.
		Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story is presented on a very good disc which is let down only by the absence of a very essential feature.

	Filmtracks: Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (Randy Edelman)
		Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story: (Randy Edelman) A handful of biographical films have been made about Bruce Lee, the master of martial arts who mysteriously died in July of 1973.
		The score for Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story avoids all of the stereotypical Hong Kong elements of electronic and ethnic scoring that one would expect to hear in the score for Bruce Lee's life.

		Trivia: The alley set where Bruce Lee fights his fellow restaurant workers was washed out for three days straight as a typhoon moved through Hong Kong, putting the production three days behind schedule.
		The scene was going to be cut altogether when a Chinese gaffer told director Rob Cohen that he could erect a giant tent over the set that would allow the shoot to continue.
		Goofs: Anachronisms: Bruce Lee is seen watching "Kung Fu" (1972) (which was conceived by and for him but the main character given to David Carradine instead) sometime between 1967 when "The Green Hornet" goes off the air and 1970 when he makes his first movie in Hong Kong.

	Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (Soundtrack) by Randy Edelman
		While Dragon suffers from Edelman's over-reliance upon sythensized instruments and leans heavily upon its main theme to carry it, it does still feature other noteworthy moments scattered throughout.
		Introduced in track 4, Bruce and Linda, Edelman again demonstrates his ability to craft simple music that remains a pleasure to listen even after it has been heard dozens of times.
		Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story features one of Hollywood's favorite trailer-tracks and it is the highlight of the score.

	The Movie Review Vault: 1993, Volume 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The fights involving Lee and the demon are at once exciting and cornball; the great fight choreography by John Cheung keeps you interested, but the sight of an onscreen demon is ridiculous.
		The screenwriters have taken a number of liberties with Bruce Lee's life story (for example, a back injury resulting from a fight in the movie was in reality caused by lifting weights), but it does not hurt the movie.
		Dragon is a touching and entertaining glimpse at the past and future of cinema.

	Review: Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Dragon is less a strict account of the life of Bruce Lee (played by Jason Scott Lee, who isn't related to the legendary martial arts star) than a tribute.
		Lee is larger than life throughout the film, whether he is fighting human foes or the demon that stalks his nightmares.
		Dragon captures the energy and exuberance of Bruce Lee, but fails to give a complete picture of the man behind the macho facade.

		The most acceptable story to emerge over the years is a brain aneurysm, brought on by a reaction to medication.
		But, some feel Lee was cursed, and there was some animosity toward him for teaching the arts to Americans and developing his own forms, based on what worked in any number of other martial practices.
		I did admire the film's insight to Lee's early struggles in the United States, as an Asian-American, who is not seen as a favorable boyfriend to future wife, Linda (well-played by Lauren Holly).

		Director Rob Cohen and co-writers Edward Khmara and John Raffo explore Lee's loves and losses, and use elaborate cinematic devices to bring to the life his inner demons that plagued his life.
		Jason Scott Lee is admirable as he goes through the motions, while Lauren Holly delivers a sympathetic performance as his devoted wife Linda.
		"Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story" is presented in it's original 2.35:1 widescreen aspect ratio, so unless you have a 27" or larger screen, you'll be lost.

		Bruce Lee, a kung-fu master and star of the 1973 martial-arts extravaganza "Enter the Dragon," had the sort of physical skills that even the most gifted mimic couldn't do justice to.
		The movie was fictionalized to a certain extent,the fictionalized scenes were done to show how a Bruce Lee fight scene might look in the modern era(that was said by Rob Cohen, in regards to the exaggerated fight scenes) and of course to spice up the movie some more,but there was alot of truth to it.
		Bruce Lee was already running his own kung-fu school (in Seattle) when he met his wife-to-be; he did not open this school at her suggestion, as the film indicates.

	Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story
		Loosely based on the book 'Bruce Lee: The Man Only I Knew' by his wife Linda, 'Dragon' highlights his life from the age of 6 in Hong Kong to his untimely death in 1973 after completing 'Enter the Dragon' which he never saw the finished film.
		In a similar situation, his son Brandon was killed by a faulty blanks gun in 'The Crow', 8 days before filming finished shortly before this film was released.
		The film kicks off with Bruce at the age of six starting to learn Wing Chun but it vitally misses his involvement with the Cha Cha competition but I guess Rob Cohen felt if this was inserted, it would just drag the film down.

	Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		As you might guess, this is a film about the life of Bruce Lee (based on a book written by his widow, Linda).
		There's very little mention of Lee's dark side, such as his sometimes violent temper or his alleged affairs and hashish use.
		Which is a shame, really, because Lee's real story is a whole lot more interesting than your typical Hollywood romance movie -- which is what this ultimately boils down to.

		Marrying a former student who shares his dreams (Lauren Holly), Lee is discovered by a Hollywood producer (Robert Wagner) and begins a meteoric rise to fame and a tragically short reign that comes to a sudden end just as film audiences worldwide begin to discover his charismatic appeal.
		The scenes where Bruce has visions of the cursed warrior trying to kill him are stunning to watch, as are all of the karate segments.
		It is the true life story of Bruce Lee and it could have not been told better.

		Comments: This one was alright, but dragon was much better on other formats where it was basically just a beat-em up, rather than this platform style adsventure.

		I am a Bruce Lee fan, and I thought the movie "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story" was O.K. but I noticed some moves of Lee in the game deriving from some movies in the Sega Version (Enter the Dragon-Jump,Land,snap,crackle, pop).

	AGH Jaguar Review -- Dragon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		A fighting game featuring the legendary Bruce Lee seems like a logical fit, but Virgin has unfortunately dropped the ball by making this a dull, generic and uninspired beat-em-up.
		Unfortunately, the Jaguar version of Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story isn't much enhanced from its 16-bit cousins and almost seems ported over from the SNES version.
		The background graphics are quite detailed, but the character sprites are smaller than you'd expect from a game of this type and aren't drawn as crisp as they should be.

		I do believe that Jason Scott Lee did a wonderful job taking up the opportunity in telling the story of the life of the greatest Martial Artist to ever live.
		Bruce Lee was an incredible indivdual who life is an example to all warriors that fight the battles of life and equality.
		I recommend this movie but I truly recommend Bruce's Books that he wrote, to get a better understanding of who this man really is. I also recommend watching all 5 of his movies that he starred in: The Big Boss, Chinese Connection, Way (Return) of the Dragon, Enter the Dragon, and Game of Death.

		The unique two-player mode to play through the story with borrows from Fatal Fury, only as with everything else, Bruce is the only option.
		A meter fills as the brawl ensues, and when it reaches a certain point, Lee enters into an entirely new fighting style.
		It's for the Bruce Lee fans, who would be better off with the other versions because of the control issues.
