The article is not about anything at all.
I think that if you take absolutely any moviegoer and ask whether the work of Bruce Lee influenced his life, he will nod his head importantly and utter a pathetic phrase about how Lee’s life and work inspired him.
By the way, break dancers (B-Boys) are also very respected and believe that the Dragon influenced the origins of Breaking.
Such personalities are cool. It's nice just to see them. What about Jet Li? didn't he really admire the Dragon?
Still, he played in the remake of Fist of Fury.
You should ask the author of the article. I didn't want to change the text too much. And so, I slightly changed some of the characters. In general, by and large, there is probably no fighter who does not admire Bruce Lee.
Anderson Silva is also a big fan of Bruce
Maybe it was my imagination, but it seems that the photo is not of Billy Blanks, but of his brother Michael!
Vadya,
May be. Billy has a hard time finding a suitable photo for young people. Replaced. The new one is definitely Billy.)
