00:00 Tell us your name.
00:02 My last name is Lee, Bruce Lee.
00:04 We just hit a certain moment in history
00:07 where people were looking for that kind of hero.
00:09 The truth in fact is we were just at the cusp of that fame
00:13 when he passed away.
00:14 We're really getting into this guy and all of a sudden he's gone.
00:17 The next question is, can we find another Bruce Lee?
00:20 We want Bruce Lee's movie.
00:21 Impossible. He died.
00:23 Yeah, but we still want Bruce Lee's movie, man.
00:27 They would go to people in the martial arts schools,
00:30 the gymnasiums and so forth.
00:31 "Hey, anybody look like Bruce Lee? Anybody who's good?"
00:34 I didn't know at the time he was a real person
00:36 because I'd see other people playing Bruce Lee.
00:39 And they gave a name called Bruce Lee.
00:46 He's playing Bruce Lee.
00:49 I looked at him and said, "Well, if I really stretch my imagination a little bit."
00:53 I don't think I look like Bruce Lee.
00:56 His name is Dragon Lee.
00:59 Dragon Lee, who is this Bruce Lee times ten, this gigantic muscular guy.
01:03 You're the famous Bruce?
01:06 Yes, I'm Bruce.
01:07 Hello. My name's Bruce Lee.
01:10 He kind of looks a bit like Bruce Lee.
01:12 Give him a pair of big sunglasses and a bow haircut and we can turn him into it.
01:15 You're looking for me?
01:16 Just when you thought you had seen all of his films, he's back.
01:20 Bruce Lai, Bruce Lee, Bruce Flee, Bruce Thai.
01:24 Johnson Lee, Bruce Lo.
01:27 Bruce Lo?
01:29 I told you, everyone's been making money off of the poverty.
01:33 Action!
01:34 A good crew could shoot a complete film in 15 days.
01:37 A kung fu film is like ten times the speed.
01:39 It's a bit slow.
01:41 It was tough.
01:43 Many people get hurt.
01:45 I'm not talking about this film. I'm talking about Bruce Lee.
01:49 This is really a kung fu film.
01:52 I'm instantly successful with these pictures.
01:54 The first kind of wave of these films pivoted around Bruce Lee's death.
01:57 I'll have to find out if there was some foul play and if there was, I'll avenge.
02:01 People wanted more. There was no video at the time.
02:03 Films like this weren't going to appear on TV for years.
02:05 The other was sequels and prequels and two of those spin-offs.
02:08 What if he'd live and he played Indiana Jones?
02:10 We stick him in New Guinea and you've got Bruce Lai in New Guinea.
02:12 So if you're tall, you'll be crazy fun.
02:15 So you're Bruce Lee?
02:21 Yes.
02:22 I hope I can be myself.
02:25 It was a golden time for the filmmaking.
02:38 Cut!
