I Am Bruce Lee (2012)

With the existing archive footage of Lee being so well known, the only way to get a different perspective of the man behind the myth is to find people that knew him well and hope that they can offer new insight. With a few obvious exceptions (family members), this documentary picks anyone it can find with a big enough ego to talk absolute shite for as long as the camera's on them. It’s disappointing and disrespectful to the genre as a whole. Trying to disguise a lack of relevant content with quick edits and a shifting perspective is not just trickery, it’s also irritating.
