Bruce Lee''s last movie, Game of Death, was released shortly after the megastar''s tragic death. From its first screening, controversy surrounded the film, with millions of fans worldwide believing it misrepresented Lee''s vision and undermined his legitimacy as a martial artist and philosopher. Bruce Lee: A Warrior''s Journey offers readers a unique insider''s account of the remaking of this incomparable film--a film in which Lee intended to showcase not only his mastery as a martial artist and actor but also his personal philosophy.

After searching nearly thirty years, Bruce Lee expert and award-winning filmmaker John Little found Lee''s original scripting notes, directorial instructions, and more than ninety-five minutes of unreleased footage from this film. In the late 1990s, working closely with Lee''s widow and referring to Lee''s own copious notes, Little painstakingly reconstructed the movie according to Lee''s vision. Here, readers get the inside story, firsthand from the man who made the discovery, remade the movie, and, in doing so, honored the best-loved and most highly respected martial artist in living history.

The perfect complement to Warner Home Video''s movie of the same name, Bruce Lee: A Warrior''s Journey offers fans a rare behind-the-scenes account of remaking the film as well as the most comprehensive presentation of Lee''s philosophy available to date.
