Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey is a documentary about Lee's life, career, and untimely death, which uses rare behind-the-scenes footage to paint a portrait of both the star the world knew and the man behind the image.

This documentary marks the first time the surviving Game of Death material has been assembled according to Lee's script notes, in an attempt to honor Lee's ambitious intentions for the film. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    I enjoyed the documentary very much, but it was the missing fight sequences at the end that had me at the edge of my seat. The true film looks like it would have been one for the ages.

As a project to place Bruce Lee's final, unfinished 1973 film, The Game of Death, in its proper context, Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey is up to the task. Full Review
