Happy Birthday, Bruce Lee
This week would’ve been Bruce Lee Jun-Fan’s 70th birthday. Here’s a little memoriam we’ve put together in his honor: His screen test for the role of Kato in The Green Hornet (includes him doing forms in a suit); the opening credits for the Cantonese print of Enter The Dragon; a Time Magazine photo essay; and a piece about Bruce Lee’s connection to “some of the fiercest female fighters in the DCU.”
