Even if youve never seen aBruce Leemovie, you know who Bruce Lee is.
Thats the impact of an icon.
Before we continue, a brief bio on Lee: he never really belonged anywhere he went.
When he tried to make it in Hollywood, he was considered too Chinese.
These films were big enough to finally get Hollywoods attention, and they made the star vehicleEnter the Dragon.
When you watch all five films in sequence, they tell a story about Lees origins as an icon.

you’re able to also immediately see that Lee isnt here to draw out a fight.
Whats astonishing here is that it never feels like Lee is making a retread of his previous movies.
When you look at these five films together, you see someone changing the game through his artistry.

Its easy to parody Lee because hes an icon, but this box set shows why his iconography matters.
He completely changed how Chinese actors were allowed to be presented on screen.
