  1. I’m so excited to see this film especially since Shannon Lee is the executive producer. Recently all I’ve had to watch of Bruce Lee are the documentaries and older films starring Bruce Lee that I’ve found on DISHonline.com. They actually have a great selection and they’re free to watch without having to sign into the site. These movies may be easier to watch than this new documentary because of the limited show times. Thank you for the link, I checked the show times for I Am Bruce Lee in my state and there is one on February 9th. I love movies which is no surprise that I work for DISH, and seeing Bruce Lee on a big screen is a once in a lifetime opportunity! Take your kids so that they too can witness what an incredible individual Bruce Lee was.
