Fans of Bruce Lee are also creating a huge buzz when it comes to this film’s debut. Here is what Alex Billington has to say about “ I Am Bruce Lee”

“There can never be enough Bruce Lee, in movies especially. And now someone has made an entire documentary about his legacy and his spirit. It’s titled simply, I Am Bruce Lee, directed by Pete McCormack, and features a whole hell of a lot of celebrities, including Mickey Rourke, Ed O’Neill, Manny Pacquiao, Black Eyed Peas’ Taboo, Haywire’s Gina Carano and yes, even Kobe Bryant himself pops up in here. This looks like a kick ass doc for a martial arts legend, just exploring who he was and why he was such a legend, but we already know the reasons anyway. “
