Plot.
Bruce Lee, My Brother is a dramatic biopic of the eponymous martial arts legend as told by his younger brother, Robert Lee. Based directly from the book “Memories of Lee Siu-loong”, which is authored by Lee’s siblings (Phoebe, Robert, Agnes and Peter), it revolves around Bruce Lee’s life as a rebellious adolescent in Hong Kong before he sets off for the USA and conquers the world at the age of 18 with only US$102 in his pocket. As a young man, Bruce grew up in an affluent family. Entering the film industry at an early age, he gained fame as a child actor. Outside the home and studio, he was rebellious; he spent time engaging in street fights, dancing with lady friends, and hanging with his buddies, Kong and Unicorn, the latter a fellow child actor who later appeared in Fist of Fury and Way of the Dragon. Invincible as he is as a street fighter, Bruce’s romantic escapades are not as smooth and successful.RELATED:
