History Film / DragonTheBruceLeeStory

A year later, it received a LicensedGame available for Creator/{{Sega}}'s consoles, the UsefulNote/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem, and the UsefulNotes/AtariJaguar. It contextualizes the story as a series of fights inspired by Bruce's films and personal life, as well as introducing a metaphysical villain known as the Phantom, representing Bruce's fear of death. Interestingly, it utilized three-person multiplayer, each player controlling a clone of Bruce.

* FightingWithChucks: Bruce uses nunchucks against a racist British sailor towards the beginning, and in the end, when he defeats his family demon.

* TheCameo: Van Williams (Britt Reid from ''Franchise/TheGreenHornet'' series) appears as the director in the ''Green Hornet'' scene.

* SmallNameBigEgo: The portrayal of Van Williams in the brief ''Franchise/TheGreenHornet'' scene. Evidently this was for comedy and emphasizing Kato's BreakoutCharacter nature, but Bruce and Van actually became good friends on the show and remained that way afterwards (Van himself cameos in the aforementioned scene as the director).

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: In-Universe. While the Green Hornet lasts only a couple of seasons, it was immensely popular in Hong Kong, many Hong Kong residents considered [[EnsembleDarkhorse Kato to be the main character]] thus it is marketed as a the ''Kato Show''.

-->'''Bruce:''' I'm somebody here, I'm special. Back there, I'm just another gook. Just another wetback, two-bit coolie CharlieChan no-nothing dishwasher from a fishy-stinking restaurant!

* ButNotTooForeign: Discussed. On the set of ''TheGreenHornet'', a network executive is shown commenting about Bruce "He's awfully Oriental...", but producer Bill Krieger assures him nothing is wrong with Bruce, because he's merely "playing Oriental" as Kato. Regardless, the executive asks him if he can stay masked at all times, and it also prevents Bruce from starring in ''Series/KungFu'', despite helping develop it with Krieger.

** The film implied that Bruce was neglecting his family in favor of his movie career. Not only do many biographies claim otherwise, to the point that Lee was famous for often inviting his family to the set while filming, but one of which shows pictures of them together on the set of ''GameOfDeath''.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Towards the beginning, Bruce is depicted idolizing JamesDean, another movie icon that passed away at a young age.

* TemptingFate: "I can beat any man in this room in sixty seconds!" Bruce is about to learn a lesson that (in [[{{Kayfabe}} kayfabe]]) pro wrestlers often learn the hard way: open challenges '''always''' get answered, usually by the one(s) you'd least like to face. [[spoiler: Subeverted in that Bruce wins the challenge, knocking his rival clear into the audience after 58 seconds.]]

%%* AllAsiansAreAlike: {{Discussed}} at length throughout the film.

* YellowPeril: Referenced by Linda's mother when she objects to her marrying Bruce. She even refers to possible mixed-race grandchildren [[KickTheDog as "yellow babies"]] [[spoiler: Though she ultimately gives in after some time.]]

** One part implied, that Bruce was neglecting his family in favor of his movie career. Not only do many biographies claim otherwise. One of which shows pictures of the real Lee spending time with his family on the set of GameOfDeath.

* TemptingFate: "I can beat any man in this room in sixty seconds!" Bruce is about to learn a lesson that (in [[{{Kayfabe}} kayfabe]]) pro wrestlers often learn the hard way: open challenges *always* get answered, usually by the one(s) you'd least like to face. [[spoiler: Subeverted in that Bruce wins the challenge, knocking his rival clear into the audience after 58 seconds.]]

* YellowPeril: Referenced by Linda's mother when she objects to her marrying Bruce. She even refers to possible mixed-race grandchildren [[KickTheDog as "yellow babies"]] [[spoiler: Though she ultimately gives in after some time.]]

* StockFoottage: Much of the premiere and edit scenes of Bruce's movies, used real footage from Bruce's Movies.

* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: It doesn't quite get to the level of DanBrowned, but a great deal of artistic licence is taken due to RuleOfDrama:
** Bruce is depicted opening his first martial arts school out of inspiration by Linda, whereas in real life he'd opened it long before meeting her.

* SmallNameBigEgo: The portrayal of Van Williams in the brief ''Franchise/TheGreenHornet'' scene. Evidently this was for comedy and emphasizing Kato's BreakoutCharacter nature, but Bruce and Van actually became good friends on the show and remained that way afterwards.

* AreWeGettingThis: During filming of ''Film/TheBigBoss'', as Bruce finds himself fighting Johnny Sun's brother, the director and cameramen are initially confused by what's apparently happening off-script, but decide to film it anyway. However, after the fight, Bruce destroys the footage, upsetting the director, who says that was some of the best fighting he'd ever seen.
