Bruce Lee (born Lee Jun-fan; 27 November
1940 – 20 July 1973) was a Chinese American,Hong
Kong actor, martial arts instructor, philosopher, film director,
film producer, screenwriter, and founder of the Jeet Kune Do martial
arts movement. He is widely considered by many commentators, critics, media and
other martial artists to be the most influential martial artist, and
a cultural icon. Lee was born in San Francisco to parents
of Hong Kong heritage but was raised in Hong Kong until his late
teens. Lee emigrated to the United States at the age of 18 to claim his U.S.
citizenship and receive his higher education. It was during this time that
he began teaching martial arts, which soon led to film and television
roles. His Hong Kong and Hollywood-produced films elevated the
traditional Hong Kong martial arts filmto a new level of popularity and
acclaim, and sparked a major surge of interest in Chinese martial
arts in the West in the 1970s. The direction and tone of his films changed
and influenced martial arts and martial arts films in Hong Kong and
the rest of the world, as well. He is noted for his roles in five
feature-length films: Lo Wei's The Big Boss (1971) and Fist of Fury (1972); Way of the Dragon (1972), directed and written by
Lee; Warner Brothers' Enter the Dragon (1973), directed by Robert Clouse; and The Game of Death (1978),
directed by Robert Clouse. Lee became an iconic figure known throughout
the world, particularly among the Chinese, as he portrayed Chinese
nationalism in his films. He initially trained in Wing Chun, but
he later rejected well-defined martial art styles, favouring instead to use
techniques from various sources in the spirit of his personal martial arts
philosophy, which he dubbed Jeet Kune Do (The Way of the Intercepting
Fist).
