Revisiting a legendary Bruce Lee fight

Bruce Lee died in 1973, but the image of the superbly conditioned martial artist unleashing lightning-fast kicks and backfists to whiplike sound effects is etched in martial arts lore.

Now, a movie financed by China's Kylin Films is in production (scheduled for release later this year) that re-creates a legendary battle that the jeet kune do master had in Oakland, California, in 1964.

Birth of the Dragon tells the story of Lee's showdown with Shaolin kung fu master Wong Jack Man.
