THE INFLUENCE OF BRUCE LEE CANNOT BE DENIED, HERE ARE 14 EXAMPLES!

Greetings everyone. For those of us who grew up in the 70’s and 80’s we are fully aware of the powerful influence of Bruce Lee and that he was not “just an actor”. I find such a notion preposterous. He has had such a powerful affect on my life as a martial artist that I would need a separate post to share all the ways. However, I am not going to go deep into his fighting ability in this post. I simply want to show how much his influence has shaped our entertainment over the decades from the 70’s to modern times. I present to you 14 Bruce Lee archetypes that we have all watched in cartoons or played in video games. Feel free to share your thoughts.
