This movie really is a good biopic. Although Jason Scott Lee doesn't really look like Bruce, he puts off a really good performance. I like the way the movie is made, but there is some flaws. For one, Bruce Lee didn't break his back in a challenge match. He broke his back lifting weights in an exercise routine. In fact, the real challenge match to see if Bruce could teach, he wiped the floor with the guy and threw him out of the building. Overall, don't miss this if you like Bruce Lee.

I love Bruce Lee, and I loved this movie. You're right about it not being entirely correct, but it was pretty close and very well done.

As with most biopics, some historical details have been altered for the sake of the narrative. I doubt it's 100% accurate or even 80% accurate. Here are a number of errors, some significant and others not so much: 1) Bruce Lee was already running his own kung-fu school (in Seattle) when he met his wife-to-be; he did not open this school at her suggestion, as the film indicates. 2) Bruce Lee hurt his back lifting weights, not in a fight. The fight scene is a distortion of a true-life fight in Lee's school. 3) The Tao of Jeet Kune Do was published in 1979 after Lee's death. He did not get it in the mail like he did in the movie. 4) Raymond Chow was the man who discovered Lee. 5) Lee did not even fight at the Karate tournament, he merely did an exhibition. 6) William Dozier was the producer of the Green Hornet not Bill Krieger. Dozier was introduced to Lee through a recommendation from Jay Sebring the hairstylist, not at a tournament as the movie suggests. 7) Although Bruce Lee did not injure his back during a fight to decide whether he could teach all races martial arts (he injured it doing Good Mornings, an exercise that places the barbell on your shoulders and lean forward until your torso is 90 degrees with your legs, then repeat) the fight did take place and he did win. 8) Bruce Lee began his martial arts training at the age of 13 after being beaten up by a street gang. He did not begin martial arts training at an earlier age because of a nightmare as the movie suggests. 9) Bruce Lee did not create his famous "battle cries" until he worked on _Jing Wu Men (1972)_ . However, the film shows Bruce performing his battle cries when he was a child and every moment on. 10) Throughout the movie Bruce spends plenty of time doing back flips and somersaults in his fight scenes, however the real Bruce Lee's fighting style was very grounded and direct, focusing more on effective hits than on fancy movements. 11) Key dates in the movie are depicted at the bottom of the scene. Many of these are incorrect. Lee came to the United States in 1958, at the age of eighteen. In the movie it is dated 1961.
