Bruce Lee now, almost officially, a myth.

The "Legend" of Bruce Lee, indeed. Complete with wirefu [the antithesis of a Lee flick] and totally made up for TV fictional events.

But the production values look high, and the cast is pretty high caliber - Mark Dacascos, Chan Kwok Kwan, Ray Park, Michael Jai White - for a kung fu flick.

They make a subtitled DVD set, I'd totally buy it.

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Forty-part TV show remembers Lee:
"A 40-part series is being made by Chinese state television about the life of late martial arts star Bruce Lee.

The Legend of Bruce Lee is being filmed in southern China and stars actor Chan Kwok-kwan, who said he was "nervous and also excited" about the role.



...The production is being interpreted as a way for authorities to promote Chinese culture internationally in the run-up to next year's Olympics in Beijing.

The Xinhua News Agency said that the 50 million yuan (£3.3 million) series would also be filmed partially in Hong Kong and the US."
