Birth of the Dragon (2017)
1964 forderte Bruce Lee den Großmeister Wong Jack Man, einen hochgeachteten Kung-Fu-Kämpfer, zu einem No-Holds–Barred TKO, sprich einem Kampf mit einem technischen Knock-out, heraus. Beide traten sich in einem quasi-regellosen Duell gegenüber. Das Endergebnis war mehr als umstritten, doch verhieß vor allem für Bruce Lee einen Wendepunkt in seinem Leben. Der Kampf mit Jack Man markierte Lees Übergang zu professionellen Turnierkämpfen und schauspielerischen Engagements. Ebenso entwickelte er daraufhin seine eigene Kampfkunstphilosophie des Jeet Kune Do.
