It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

This is one of the best documentaries out there made about the greatest martial artist ever appeared on the silver screen. 'Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey' doesn't concentrate not so much about the legendary actor's career in films, but more on his philisophies on fighting, film making and life in general. Most people know Bruce Lee as one of the greatest film stars and action heroes throughout the film history, and that's it. Actually Bruce was much more - he was philosopher at first, all the reast came after that. And this documentary does excellent job to explaining Bruce Lee's mindset.The second part of the movie contains the completed footage of 'The Death Game' like Bruce had intended to be with original dialogue. To know how much effort Bruce put into 'The Game of Death' it is almost painful to know about the botched up 1978 versioon directed by Robert Clouse. One can only think, if only. . .Bruce Lee was highly skillful martial artist (who turned his body into piece of art itself), thoughtful philosopher, dedicated actor, masterful filmmaker. And he didn't let his sudden stardom get into his head. All he wanted to do was to create great art.

I love this documentary because it gives a better image of who Bruce really was and how much of a great hard worker and perfectionist he was. The only thing that kills me about this documentary is when they talk about the tv series Kung fu. Everybody and their momma know that Bruce should have been playing that role instead of that worthless Carradine. This shows you what type of world we live in. But anyway, I loved the Game of Death footage because of the offbeat comedy between Bruce and his buddies. I liked the way in which Bruce is relaxed and how his buddies sit back and watch him save the day. I really appreciated the lost footage especially compared to that sorry crap they put together back in 1978. Robert Clouse should have his ass kicked for making that garbage. Overall I highly recommend for everyone especially Bruce fans like myself. 4.5 out of 5.

This is without a doubt one of the greatest documentaries that I have ever seen. The narration is easy to follow, not too self-consciously obtuse or referential to previous films, and the piecing together is simply masterful. The only quibble is the lack of information on Bruce's early life. Things to love about this film:* the Game of Death sequence, fully restored, edited and soundtracked to Bruce's wishes (according to recently found production notes)* The one finger (and a thumb) pressups - although rather short* The one inch punch Truly awesome and 10/10.

Short and sweet: If you're a Bruce Lee Fan, You have to have this DVD. If you're not, you will be. Watching this Doc/Feature was like going back to the early 70's. Seeing this never before released footage reminded me why I became a fan. It's a treat to have the "Real Bruce" visiting us again. The original 30 minutes or so of Bruce's (not Robert Clouse's) "Game of Death" makes this DVD a must have. Anyone that does have the Clouse's version can now dump that film in the trash. Why settle for a film with 7 Bruce Lee imitators when you can have the one-and-only. "Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey," though only containing 30-or-so minutes of the original "Game of Death" is (the real) Bruce Lee's last film. Enjoy :-)
