# Bruce Lee

> He turned martial arts into a global film language, then died at 32 before the full wave hit. His five feature roles rewrote how fight scenes moved, what Asian leads could be, and why the West suddenly cared about kung fu.

## Bio

Born in San Francisco in 1940, raised in Hong Kong by a film-industry father, Lee trained Wing Chun under Ip Man, won a boxing tournament, and fought on rooftops before moving to Seattle in 1959. He opened martial arts schools while studying at the University of Washington, teaching students like Chuck Norris and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar after relocating to Los Angeles. American TV gave him Kato in The Green Hornet, but Hong Kong gave him leading roles: The Big Boss and Fist of Fury in 1971-72, then The Way of the Dragon, which he wrote and directed. Enter the Dragon, the American co-production, arrived in 1973. He founded Jeet Kune Do, a hybrid philosophy born from street fighting and Taoist thought, and his choreography replaced wuxia fantasy with grounded realism. Brain edema killed him in July 1973, but the films kept moving - commercially, culturally, and into every corner where someone wanted to see a punch land differently.
