Beuce Lee Anine Series “House of Lee” Announced, Coming in 2024

 

One of the most iconic martial artists and actors who ever lived is being honored with his very first anime series! In celebration of the 50th anniversary of “Enter The Dragon”, the legendary Bruce Lee will be immortalized in “House of Lee” - a Japanese Anime that will feature the Dragon and founder of the martial arts style “Jeet Kune Do” as he assembles a group of Dragon Warriors before the world falls into darkness and shadow.

As reported by Deadline, the project spearheaded by the late martial artist’s own daughter Shannon as well as the Bruce Lee Entertainment group - the series is expected to hit some time in 2024. It’s a fitting testament and tribute to Lee - as his fighting style, philosophy, and character have inspired several anime like Fist of the North Star and Cowboy Bebop - and now the man himself gets his own. A teaser trailer has been released (which you can view above) and will also be debuting in select theaters playing “Enter The Dragon” to honor that film’s 50th anniversary since its release in 1973.

The Year of the Dragon 2012!

Happy Chinese New Year, one and all! Celebrations officially begin today to welcome the year of the water dragon, and festivities around the world see reading of fortunes and happy people taking time to gather together in honor of this momentous occasion! In my mind, however, we also celebrate the astrological time of the year when one superb and legendary martial artist was born. He was called Lei Seil Loong or "The Little Dragon", and it may not be familiar to most people at first, but you know him better by his American and Screen name... BRUCE LEE.



Bruce Lee, 2012 The Year of Dragon

In commemoration of the Year of the Dragon and the founder of Jeet Kune Do (The Way of the Intercepting Fist), this YouTube video by one hungmanfay showcases the man who became a legend through his passion and determination as a martial artist. I found this to be extremely well done, and it pays tribute to not only the man called the Dragon, but the year he was born in as well. Enjoy, and Kung Hei Fat Choi!

"I always learn something, and that is: to always be yourself. And to express yourself, to have faith in yourself. Do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate him". - Bruce Lee

Movie Review: The Green Hornet

Honestly, I wasn't expecting the film adaptation of "The Green Hornet" to be any good. In fact, with such a history of diversity and experimentation the franchise has had over several mediums over the years, it's hard to keep track of what truly was the definite "background story" to follow based on the character's initial origins. As a kid, I grew up watching the 60's TV series starring Van Williams as The Green Hornet. It aired parallel to the Adam West and Burt Ward starring Batman Live Action series, and the show also featured a then unknown Bruce Lee displaying his martial arts prowess as the Hornet's sidekick, Kato. In Hong Kong, The Green Hornet was better known as "The Kato Show", and Lee's actions in the series added justification to why the show's name was changed in that territory, foreshadowing his inevitable rise to fame as an action movie star. After one season, the show faded into limbo, and what was once a straight superhero franchise slowly took off from the radar...
