Bruce Lee (Birth of the Dragon)

==Summary==
Bruce Lee (李小龍), born Lee Jun-fan (李振藩), is the owner of the San Francisco Kung Fu Academy. Originally raised in Hong Kong, he often got in fights, leading his father to enroll him in Kung Fu lessons. He became a student of Sifu Ip Man, but when the Shaolin temple found out his grandmother was white, they made him stop teaching him. When he was 16, he was sent to America after he beat the son of a tong boss and a contract was put on him. There, he opened up his school for everybody. By 1964, many people in Chinatown did not like the fact that he taught Kung Fu to anyone. When Wong Jack-man from the Shaolin temple claimed his technique was limited by his own attitude, he challenged him to a fight. Lee eventually saw the error of his ways, realizing that Wong intended to help him exceed his limits.
