* The Creator/BruceLee film ''Film/FistOfFury'' is based around the death of a real man named [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huo_Yuanjia Huo Yuanjia]], a beloved martial arts master who took ill and died suddenly in mysterious circumstances. A note at the beginning of the film, that otherwise [[ThisIsAWorkOfFiction says that the events depicted in the film are fictional]], mentions that the screenwriters were inspired to create the story from one of the theories circulating around the circumstances of Huo Yuanjia's death at the time -- that he was assassinated by jealous foreign rivals because he had become a symbol of Chinese pride and national identity (Yuanjia had defeated several foreign fighters in publicized matches at a time when Chinese sovereignty was being eroded by foreign imperialism and concessions to other powers like the British Empire, Russia and Japan).
