Bruce Jun Fan Lee (November 27, 1940 - July 20, 1973) was a Chinese American martial artist and actor. He is most famous for popularizing martial arts in the United States in the 1970s, when he starred in a series of movies made in Hong Kong, which were very successful all over the world. The most successful of these being 'Enter The Dragon', which was released after Bruce's death. He mysteriously died while filming a movie, eerily entitled 'Game of Death', during the height of his popularity (almost 20 years later his son, Brandon Lee would die while filming a movie, too). Lee also taught other people martial arts, like actors Steve McQueen and James Coburn and basketball player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, he also influenced many other actors who are famous for using martial arts in their movies including Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Chuck Norris. Jackie Chan had a bit-part in 'Enter The Dragon' and Chuck Norris co-starred in Way of The Dragon. In 1993 a film about Bruce Lees life was made called Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. Most of the film is true but some parts are made up.
Bruce starred in The Big Boss, Fist of Fury, The Way of the Dragon, Enter the Dragon and Game of Death.
