Born in Chinatown in San Francisco, raised in Hong Kong, and returned at the age of 18 back to America, Bruce Lee became the founder of the martial arts.
His Hong Kong and Hollywood-produced movies elevated the traditional Hong Kong martial art films to a new level of popularity and acclaim, and sparked a major surge of interest in Chinese martial arts in the West during the 1970s. The direction and tone of his movies changed and influenced martial arts and films in Hong Kong and the rest of the world as well. He is noted for his roles in five feature-length films.
