History Series / TheLegendOfBruceLee

* BlackBestFriend: Jesse, who started out as a taxi driver, and whom Bruce saved from some thugs upon his first arrival in the U.S.

* UncleTomfoolery: Bruce's BlackBestFriend Jesse, the thieving coward.

* AnachronismStew: For a {{Biopic}} series meant to be set around between the [[TheFifties late 1950s]] [[TheSixties to]] [[TheSeventies early 1970s]], historical accuracy was clearly not a going priority here; most locations were shot without any set dressing to make them period-appropriate, so many locations, especially the American ones, are seen in their gentrified, early-2000s form rather than in 1960s/70s recreation; it's not difficult to spot car makes from the 1980s and later in the background! The producers, to be fair, made some attempts to recall that era, say by using a 1960s Mercedes-Benz sedan in the Hong Kong scenes, but most of the period styling is done on a shallow level. (Sometimes there are even period pieces ''from the wrong period''—see the profusion of ornate rotary phones that look more suited to the RoaringTwenties than TheSixties, for instance. The boxy late-1970s cars seen in Seattle are another example.)

* TheMentor: Kimura and Dan Inosanto, among others.

** (Not that this is a bad thing; it's possible that since the story revolves around Bruce Lee himself, as long as the crew telegraphed his actions and personality accurately, and highlighted key events and people in his life without too much revision, the producers would conclude that the show would've fulfilled its function. After all, it's called "The ''Legend'' of Bruce Lee", and in RealLife, legends, even those about real people, are often subject to various changes in detail while still retaining the core concept.)

* TheMentor: Wang Li-chao, Kimura, and Dan Inosanto, among others.

An epic Chinese series based on, of course, the life of Bruce Lee, starting with his dancing days as a mouthy teenager, and going ALL the way through his first learning kung fu, rise to stardom, and eventual tragic death. The series is shot to evoke Lee's most famous films, turning his life into one long, LONG, action movie.

* AGodAmI: After Bruce chases of some racketeers, the local store owners start calling him their "god of protection." He doesn't mind.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Young Bruce, even before he learned how to fight. Seriously, he's kind of a jerk.

* HeyItsThatGuy: Creator/MichaelJaiWhite shows up as random boxer, and later get a named character in Ali. Creator/MarkDacascos is a random Thai boxer, and Creator/RayPark is motherfucking Creator/ChuckNorris!
