Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do

Rating:
Summary: A Great Compilation of Bruce Lee's Rarely Seen Footage !
Review: A nice mix of home movie footage, movie clips, audio commentary by Bruce and Brandon Lee, commentary and interview footage from Dan Inosanto are all brought together in a wonderfully edited piece that is truly motivated to shed light on Jeet Kune Do. Just watching and listening to the footage of Bruce and James Coburn training (which incidentally is much longer and less cut than other documentaries showing only portions of this footage)is a great enlightenment into the way that Bruce Lee taught his art. One of the few if not the only documentary on Bruce Lee that leaves you in awe of what he really was about. I really shouldn't call it a documentary because it takes the available footage and makes it into a teaching/training DVD for JKD. Also Dan Inosanto lends a lot of personal insight in a pleasingly lengthy interview at the end.

The visual quality of the footage is by no means great when, after all, you are watching his home movies and listening to old audio recordings, but the content is unprecidented when it comes to explaining Jeet Kune Do and getting a real sense of Bruce Lee the man. There is indeed enough here to provide a foundation that you can take and run with if you want to pursue training yourself the way Bruce did.

Don't miss this one!
