Today, I’m going to talk about Asians in the movie industry in America and probably the most famous Asian in all of Hollywood. Well, we all know that the most famous Asian person in Hollywood today is none other than kung fu master, Jackie Chan. Chan is in many movies including, the Rush Hour Trilogy, Shanghai noon and Shanghai Knights, Kung Fu Panda, The Forbidden Kingdom, Around the World in 80 day and many more. His name is probably most known out of all the Asian actors in America. After that, there is Jet Li, Chow Yun Fat, <3 Lucy Liu <3, and many more. We can’t forget who paved the way for most of these Asian actors, Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee was known for his phenomenal fitness, his yellow jumpsuit, kicking ass with nun chucks, and his super fast fighting moves. Lee was a first generation born in the San Francisco to parents from Hong Kong, however, he was raised Hong Kong and moved back to America to claim citizenship. The story of Bruce Lee is known by many people as a tragedy, for he died at a very young age due to swollen brain.
Bruce Lee created his own fighting style called Jun Fan Gung Fu which meant Bruce Lee’s Kung Fu. He starred in many movies such as Enter the Dragon, Game of Death, The Big Boss, and many more. Some of his feats included throwing a grain of rice into the air and catching it with chopsticks mid-air and snatching a nickel from someone’s hand before they could close it and put a penny back. A little fun fact is that Bruce Lee’s son, who also died at a young age from a tragedy, shares the same name as me, Brandon Lee
