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.

10/10 when I was twelve. Now...it's eh, 7/10

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

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.

Okay, maybe it is pretty great:

"Do you really want to have yellow babies?"

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #4 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

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #5 on:** March 17, 2008, 06:56:45 PM »

I don't want yellow babies!

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #6 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 $:-\$

I loved the Yellow Babies line! My girlfriend at the time and I would constantly quote that to each other.

The ending was god awful.

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.

I wish Judo Gene LeBell was in this

How was Lauren Holly? Did she have implants yet?

Ichirou · « **Reply #13 on:** March 18, 2008, 01:29:04 AM »

She has implants now?

...has she ever done a nude scene?

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #14 on:** March 18, 2008, 02:08:07 AM »

Ichirou · « **Reply #15 on:** March 18, 2008, 02:10:02 AM »

Horrible dress, but I would hit it. Multiple times. But has she done a nude scene?

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #16 on:** March 18, 2008, 02:13:01 AM »

I don't remember seeing her in a nude scene before.

You're into old milfs?

Ichirou · « **Reply #17 on:** March 18, 2008, 02:24:12 AM »

She's only 44, dude. And she's a hottie.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #18 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.

Ichirou · « **Reply #19 on:** March 18, 2008, 02:43:20 AM »

I would hit it, multiple times.

Also, Helen Mirren

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #20 on:** March 18, 2008, 02:46:23 AM »

Mirren is a GILF!

$:-\$

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.

49. Mmm.

Ichirou · « **Reply #23 on:** March 18, 2008, 03:07:43 AM »

Now she HAS been naked onscreen, I've seen it.

Powerslave · « **Reply #24 on:** March 18, 2008, 05:56:05 AM »

I thought Ichi was gay...
