191.0. "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story" by 5235::J_TOMAO (Free your mind and the rest will follow..) Tue May 18 1993 12:53

    Excellent!!!! Excellent movie!!!!
    
    I have only seen one or two Bruce Lee films but I am very familiar with
    his story and his style.
    
    Jason Scott Lee (no relation) Did an awesome job of portraying BL.  JSL
    was absolutly great to watch for 2 hours too :^)
    
    This is the story of Bruce Lee's life based on a book his wife Linda
    wrote.  Great entertainment - lots of fights (of course) but I thought
    they did a good job of showing little to no graphic bloody scenes.
    
    This is one I wil rent and watch again but try and see it on the big
    screen.

191.1	Not bad, grade = B-.	12027::BRASS		`Fri May 28 1993 15:54`	5
	I felt this movie was not bad. I do not think it is a very accurate story of his life but, it did have some interesting parts. I was dissappointed that they left some well known true things out of the movie, and added a lot of probably not true/definately not true/fantasy stuff in. Bob
191.2	poss. banned in the Uk	42806::BODDY	Slaven was born offside !!!	`Wed Jun 02 1993 11:14`	6
	I have heard that this film could be banned in the UK because it shows scenes with Lee using the Nankutcha ( sp?) . These sticks with a chain in the middle are banned here . Bill
191.3	A few small cuts...	YUPPY::EVANSJ	This Boys Life	`Thu Jun 03 1993 10:01`	8
	Last I heard about that the British Board of Film Classification were requesting that those scenes be cut - I assume they are the ones from the end of "Enter the Dragon" I saw a trailer for the movie and it looked quite good. There is going to be a tie-in book available in the U.K. published by Warner Books. John
191.4		ESGWST::RDAVIS	Not so genteel as real gentlemen	`Thu Jun 03 1993 12:11`	4
	Does the British Board of Film Classification request that any scenes featuring a handgun be cut from movies? Ray
191.5	Unusual hot button	GOLF::HERMAN	What's so funny 'bout P,L&U?	`Thu Jun 03 1993 12:35`	9
	I think it's more a 'ninja' thing. :^) The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles became the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles on their trans-atlantic journey. :^) Cheers, George
191.6		45106::ALFORD	lying Shipwrecked and comatose...	`Fri Jun 04 1993 05:01`	8
	Re: .4 > Does the British Board of Film Classification request ... Don't expect a sensible answer to this one. Noone knows by what criteria the BBFC make their decisions. Random snipping seems to be the most popular method !
191.7		44243::IGOLDIE	Dope for guns	`Sun Oct 03 1993 08:54`	8
	a bit late in reply but here goes.... the BBFC don't allow the word "chainsaw" either in movie titles anymore so.."hollywood chainsaw hookers" becomes.."Hollywood(insert picture of a chainsaw)hookers".Its a really stupid rule but one they plan to stick with!
