The artistic legacy of Bruce Lee cannot be emphasized enough. The influence of both his physical expression in the discipline Jeet Kune Do and his profound philosophical insights is still felt years after his death.

In common with many Chinese people of his generation, Bruce Lee's father was a superstitious man believing that a demon was chasing him and that upon his death, the demon would pursue his son. Perhaps a profound belief when you consider the tragic circumstances surrounding the death of Bruce Lee and that of his son, Brandon. Bruce was encouraged by his father to begin learning the ancient martial arts of Wing Chun at a very early age and his teacher Yip Man, was probably the most famous teacher of this form of martial arts in the world.

This programme provides a detailed and unique insight into the qualities, both physical and philosophical, that drove Bruce Lee to international stardom. At his peak, and even after his untimely death, Bruce Lee is arguably still the most popular and respected exponent of the martial art phenomenon. Piecing together rare early footage of Bruce practicing and teaching Jeet Kune Do, his own form of martial arts, and explaining the power held within the 'one inch' punch, together with in-depth interviews with the people that knew and worked with Lee, such as film stars James Coburn, Jackie Chan, Bob Wall, Van Williams, Brandon Lee, Lees brother, Robert and many friends and associates from both the martial arts and film world. This programme presents the viewer with a complete and comprehensive profile provided by the people who were privileged to have insight into Bruce Lee, the man behind the legend.
