Bruce Lee Biopic: Bruce Lee My Brother

After the Ip Man trilogy you knew it was only a matter of time before Hong Kong got rolling with the Bruce Lee stories. Unlike Ip Man which told with very fantastical forms of Wing Chun, this film looks very much down to earth. As seen in the title name Bruce Lee My Brother. The film will be out in November and is made by Bruce Lee’s brother Robert Lee.

The role of Bruce will be played by relative newcomer Aarif Lee. No relation….I don’t think. The next bit is an excerpt from Twitch.

His father, a popular Cantonese opera singer who used to tour around the world with his family, Bruce Lee is born in San Francisco in 1940 during their US stop. The Lee family moves back to Hong Kong just months before the Japanese invasion in China and goes through the horrid 3 years and 8 months of Japanese occupation in Hong Kong.
Bruce is introduced to films soon after his birth by appearing in Golden Gate Girl in 1941 as an infant. He shoots to fame at the age of 9 by starring in The Kid with the stage name Lee Xiao-long (literally “Little Dragon”). As a teenager, he is not particularly good at school but is respected as a child actor who has worked in couple of movies.
As a young man, Bruce is something of a rebel who always finds himself engaging in street fights. His favorite pastime is hanging out in Chinese teahouses with his buddies, Kong and Unicorn, also a child actor who co-stars with him and will later appear in Fist of Fury and Way of the Dragon. His recalcitrant way will eventually get him into trouble with the police, especially after numerous ruffles against foreigners in the then British colony.
Invincible as he is as a street fighter, Bruce’s romantic escapades are not as smooth and successful. He is head over heels smitten with Pearl only to realize his mate Kong shares the same passion.  Meanwhile, another girl Man-man has a crush on him and wants him for her dance partner in a Latin dance contest. Instead of accepting the offer, he enters the contest with his brother Robert and ends up snatching the top prize.
Bruce studies the Wing Chun martial arts and tastes his first “public” triumph by knocking out a Caucasian boxer at a tournament with his kung-fu skills. On the eve of his triumph, however, he learns that Kong has become a drug addict and decides to rumble the drug lord’s den together with Unicorn. This renders him the target of both the triads and corrupted cops who want him in jail. To save his life, Lee’s father has no choice but to send him off to San Francisco to pursue his studies.
