Changed the world? Like Jonas Salk or Thomas Edison? Don't know about that, although this 2-hour documentary makes some compelling arguments. It seems the greatest way he changed the world is that every man since Enter The Dragon came out has pretended to be Bruce Lee in front of the mirror.
Also, if you're like yours truly, you know all kinds of Bruce Lee fun facts. And these aren't phony, like the ones about Chuck Norris...
1. Bruce Lee was considered medically unfit for the Vietnam War because he had an undescended testicle.
2. His real name is Li Jun Fan - a girl's name. His mother named him that to ward off evil spirits she thought attacked male children.
Rumors about his death, which at least officially was brought on by a brain edema in his mistress's house, caused by an allergic reaction to the prescription painkiller Equagesic:
1. His demise was a delayed reaction to a Shaolin Monk's death touch.
2. He overdosed on Spanish Fly.
All right, Dorkfest 2009 is now over.
