Bruce Lee, My Brother (李小龍)

When Bruce Lee died, he was only 32.

His sudden death shocked the world.

To his fans,

he was a unique superstar.

But to our family,

he was our brother.

We grew up and spent our childhood together.

Looking at this house reminds me of

my brother Phoenix, my family

and how we grew up together.

I'm overwhelmed with emotions.

This movie is about Bruce Lee's untold story,

which is also our family story.

Why did you set me up?

I'm just a poor farmer,

I can't read poetry.

Chuen, I just got a call.

Your wife is going into labor.

Quick.

Get the car.

My Father Lee Hoi-chuen was

a leading comic in Cantonese Opera.

That year, he took Mother with him on a tour in San Francisco.

They were greeted with a surprise.

It actually snowed in San Francisco.

Push...

You can do it, push...

I can see your son.

Chuen, here they come.

Grace,

are you tired?

I'm fine.

Boy or girl?

Boy...

A son.

Thank Heavens.

Excuse me.

- Are you alright? - Chuen...

- Excuse me, sir. - She's talking to you.

We need the boy's name for registration.

Name?

Push... Push...

Push...

P... Push... Push...

Bruce?

Push... Lee...

- Bruce Lee? - Yes...

Is that it?

Push...

Push Lee.

Camera... action.

I'm sure the three of us

will be happy here.

Cut.

Is that OK?

Good take.

Is he done?

Yes.

Thanks for letting us use him.

This is for him.

You shouldn't have.

Chinese on the road

should help each other out.

You're going back to Hong Kong?

Yes, I'm trying to get tickets.

It's not safe back home. You should stay.

I can't. I have a big family to support.

I have to go back.

Mother sent a telegram yesterday.

She wanted us to stay for now.

She doesn't mean it.

She couldn't wait to meet her grandson. We must go.

Welcome home, Master Chuen.

Lee Jun-fan, you're home.

You're home.

- Where's Mother? - Upstairs...

- Watch out. - Let me see him.

- Mother... - Mother is upstairs.

Mother.

Master Chuen is back.

Mother.

Chuen?

Mother.

Father.

Phoebe, Agnes, Peter.

- Mother. - Mother.

You're home.

Yes.

Kowtow to your ancestors, not to me.

Mother.

My grandson.

So cute.

Look at Him.

Have you named him yet?

I want to call him...

Phoenix... give him a girl's name,

to fool the demons so he'll grow up well.

Phoenix...

Get me two eggs.

Pass me the ginger.

The soup is ready, turn down the stove.

The fish looks very delicious.

Hurry.

Clean up the kitchen.

Let's eat.

Let's eat.

Stop playing, Skinny.

Come here and eat.

Dinner is ready.

- Let's eat. - Let's eat.

Let's eat... Phoenix. Let's eat.

Good boy.

Let's eat.

Sorry.

Let's eat.

Let's eat, Mother.

Let's eat.

The food in San Francisco is not for man.

It's for those devils.

It's for those foreign devils.

Those steaks and potatoes...

There's no place like home, I like rice...

Chuen, don't talk with your mouth full.

- Right, Mother. - Good boy...

You know why I

named him Phoenix?

Why?

He's born in wartime.

I want him to rise like a phoenix in a fire.

Back in San Francisco, I already...

I told you not to talk with your mouth full.

Right, Mother.

Kiddo, this house is full of women,

and with a girl's name like Phoenix,

you might grow up to be a sissy.

Let me help you be a man.

Does he look like me?

Oh my goodness. Leave him alone.

Ngan, please take Phoenix.

- Phoenix. - Look at you.

What has he done to you?

I'll put you to bed, all right?

Clean him up.

Don't worry.

Go. Phoenix has gone to bed.

When I met you,

your hands were soft

and smooth.

Now they're coarse and yellow...

Thanks to your pipe.

Who knows

when the Japs will be here?

Let's hope the Brits can hold them off.

Actually, what's important is

for our family to be in a piece

and to be together.

Go to sleep, Phoenix.

Our house was always bustling.

Father worked hard to support us

while Mother looked after everyone.

The days went by quickly.

Don't bother with make-up,

the show will probably be canceled.

Why?

The Japs dropped a bomb in Shatin.

They'll be crossing the Lo Wu Bridge soon.

Forget the show.

Let's go home.

You're so lucky, Mother.

The Japs are at our front door

but you don't have to worry anymore.

The family is still together.

Phoenix is coming to his senses.

Don't worry.

Open up.

Brother Chuen?

Open the door.

Open up.

So this is the Lee residence.

Go inside... hurry.

Go with Auntie Ngan.

Go inside... hurry.

General Wakuda wants to meet the famous actor Lee Hoi-chuen.

I want your whole family to come out.

Yes.

Wakuda-san wants to

use Mr Lee's popularity

to incite your fellow actors to serve the Japanese Imperial Army.

I'm flattered

but I'm only an actor trying to support a family.

I'm afraid I can't manage.

Don't be stupid, Mr Lee.

Actors like me can only entertain the people.

I can't help you

keep a facade of peace and stability.

That's what the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere is about.

Me and the Imperial Army are serving the people.

My brother said no. Get lost.

Go away.

If he won't,
