A priceless gem from the fine folks at The Internet Archive: Bruce Lee’s only existing television interview, from 1971. Martial arts expert Bruce Lee became world-renowned for his performances in such Kung-fu classics as ENTER THE DRAGON. Now his only interview in English is available. Just after the release of his first film THE BIG BOSS, he spoke in Hong Kong with Canada's premier journalist Pierre Berton. This is the closest one can get to this extraordinary master.
Acting
Lee's screen presence is atomic—charm, intellect, and physicality fused.
Writing
Every quote is tattoo-worthy; he spoke in permanent ink.
Director
Michael Rothery
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was filmed in Lee's Hong Kong apartment, mere weeks after The Big Boss premiered and made him a sudden star across Asia.
Lee's frustration with Hollywood's racist casting—'they want me in pigtails'—directly fueled his return to Hong Kong and creation of truly global cinema.
