Title: Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story has to be the most schmaltzy film of all-time
Post by: The Fake Shemp on March 17, 2008, 06:46:17 PM: I never saw this, but I was bored and popped it on Hulu. Holy crap, this film makes Ron Howard cry. Does Phoenix Dark like this film? I bet he owns it.

Now I know where that "uplifting, emotional true story" music cue they use in every trailer ever came from. This godawful saccharin biography must make Bruce Lee do kickflips in his grave.

I first watched it on UPN many years ago. It was a Saturday. I remember being bummed that out of all the white chicks he could have picked he chose the most average one. SMH

Post by: The Fake Shemp on March 17, 2008, 06:52:20 PM: I knew it! This smells like Maurice's masterpiece theatre!

Apparently, Bruce Lee's early years was a blur of sex and martial arts. And his chest was always oiled.

"Do you really want to have yellow babies?" :lol

Post by: Phoenix Dark on March 17, 2008, 06:55:29 PM: I never understood exactly how he recovered from getting his back broken

But omg, the saddest part is where his wife's mom was like I DON'T WANT NO YELLOW BABY, but changed her mind when she actually saw it (smh). This must have hit home with you Willco :(

Post by: Phoenix Dark on March 17, 2008, 07:02:18 PM: I need to watch this again; haven't seen it in ages, but last time I did see it I wasn't nearly as impressed. I wish I had an accent like Bruce Lee's in that movie though :-\

Post by: brawndolicious on March 18, 2008, 12:33:02 AM: I only saw to the part where the mother sees the yellow baby. The cheesiness of the movie actually made it pretty fun to watch.

Title: Re: Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story has to be the most schmaltzy film of all-time
Post by: Smooth Groove on March 18, 2008, 02:13:01 AM: I don't remember seeing her in a nude scene before.

You're into old milfs? :yuck

Post by: Ichirou on March 18, 2008, 02:24:12 AM: She's only 44, dude. And she's a hottie. :drool
Title: Re: Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story has to be the most schmaltzy film of all-time
Post by: Smooth Groove on March 18, 2008, 02:37:28 AM: Only 44? At that age, people start getting ready to check into a convalescent home.

I dated a 29 yr old single mom for awhile but I broke it off pretty quickly.

She had a hot body but the mom stuff were a turnoff. I guess I'm just not into MILFs.

Post by: Candyflip on March 18, 2008, 02:52:17 AM: I like the part towards the end where he breaks a 7 foot block of ice with his fist.

Oh yeah, and as far as MILFs go..I like the girl from CSI.
