4K UHD Review - Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story

B26

With a title like "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story," one expects to learn something about the subject. The 1993 endeavor isn't interested in providing a thorough investigation of the media star and martial artist, preferring to explore the cinematic ways of his life. Co-writer/director Rob Cohen creates a bit of a hagiography with the film, carefully sanding down Lee's rough edges, making his story palatable to a wide audience as the writing primarily focuses on bigotry and response to adversity. It's a commercial for Bruce Lee, which adapts his wife Linda Lee Cadwell's 1975 book, "Bruce Lee: The Man Only I Knew," and she's extremely protective of his reputation and legacy. "Dragon" is sanitized and filled with fantasy, but Cohen (in what's easily his finest movie) crafts an engaging picture, best digested as entertainment that features reminders of Lee's philosophy, passions, and physical abilities, sold through a sensational lead performance from Jason Scott Lee.
