Summary: Intelligent Look at Lee's Impact
Review: "Path" provides a very intelligent examination of how Bruce Lee
and the martial arts, in general, crossed cultural and racial
barriers for positive impact. Thoughtfully narrated by the
actor's daughter Shannon Lee, the documentary is highlighted by
interviews of current luminaries in movies and martial arts such
as Richard Norton and Jackie Chan. Commentaries on Lee are
also provided by his "Enter the Dragon" co-star John Saxon, James
Coburn and George Lazenby, a former James Bond. The historical
origins of the martial arts, with vintage footage from Asian locations, are examined to lay the foundation for the bases of
Lee's global success. Students and film fans alike will enjoy
this remarkable hour that is, in equal parts, an enjoyable history lesson and a retrospective on the importance of Bruce Lee
to film and to international popular culture.

Summary: bruce lee documentary
Review: this is a short (about 45 min) documentary of on the films of bruce lee. the production value is low and the content is merely ok. it's valuable only to the fan of bruce lee (it does give a good list of all his movies, not as many as you think). i bought it in a two pack with another Lee documentary, The Intercepting Fist, a documentary on the style of martial arts he created, and is a truly good documentary. If you can find the 2-pack, go for it, otherwise, i'd probably pass on this one.
