“Bruce Lee: His Last Days (1976) u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e* (out of 4) u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis Shaw Brothers production has become quite controversial over the years because no one, other than Bruce Lee and Betty Ting Pei, really know if itu0026#39;s true or not. There have been many conspiracy theories to what really killed the martial arts superstar but many put the blame on Pei who plays herself in this bio pic that tells about her relationship with Lee (Danny Lee). I canu0026#39;t say Iu0026#39;m a Lee expert so I really donu0026#39;t know too much about his personal life but hopefully it was a lot more exciting than this film. The version I watched was the English dub, which was also Pu0026amp;S so Iu0026#39;m not sure if the original version would be better but I seriously doubt it. What we have here is a pretty weak little film that doesnu0026#39;t manage to do anything except bore the viewer. We have several martial arts scenes but the majority of them are badly staged and come off rather funny. Danny Lee gives a pretty performance as Lee, although the screenplay really doesnu0026#39;t give him a lot to do. For the most part he plays Lee as a practical joker and I think these scenes come off as the most interesting in the film. Danny Lee is able to bring out this comic side of the legend but how much of this side is true is something I donu0026#39;t know. His fighting scenes are rather boring but again, this has more to do with the way they are staged. Pei on the other hand isnu0026#39;t very good playing herself. Iu0026#39;m really not sure what it was but she came off pretty fake from start to finish as if she was really wanting to show herself in a certain way and didnu0026#39;t want to steer off of that. Iu0026#39;m not sure if thatu0026#39;s fair to say but thatu0026#39;s the way she came off. The film runs just under 90-minutes but there are very few interesting marks. Iu0026#39;m really not sure what the point of the film was as the film never knows how to look at Pei, her relationship with Lee or even say much about the legend himself. In the end it comes off as something incredibly boring, which makes it rather worthless when there are better documentaries, bio pics and Leeu0026#39;s own movies out there.”
