No single figure was more responsible for this international profile than Bruce Lee, an American-born, Hong Kong-raised martial artist and actor. Lee completed just four movies before his death at the age of 32: "The Big Boss" (1971), "Fist of Fury" and "Way of the Dragon" (both 1972), and "Enter the Dragon" (1973).
