While we're on the subject of heavenly bodies, here's Bruce Lee. For someone who'd made just 4 movies and died before the release of Enter the Dragon, his impact on the world is phenomenal.
This documentary covers the life of Bruce Lee in view of his impact across the world and across all ages. How Tarantino to John Woo, rappers and bodybuilders, are still doffing their hats at one of the fittest men the world has ever seen (just look at that body!:p)
I want to review all his movies and the one tv serial he did. Enter the Dragon was the first movie I saw in my life and it's remained in my memory (probably why I took up Krav about 3 decades later. lol). Lets see if the movie still makes an impact on me. This documentary is very good, if you're into cinematic history. [The statue is in Kowloon, Hong Kong. There's an 18-ft one coming up in China.]

mr lee , has made an impact on many a karate ka.
many lessons have been learnt from that movie which we watched many a times with a disciplined seat like watching it at a dojo.
there was one scene i still remember, where he teaches moves to a child and the child bows, lee taps his head , reminding him, not to take off the eye contact even when bowing.
great lessons from a simple master, for a life time of disciplined living.
true, Venkhat. He's left us with a taste for a deeper simplicity and alertness.
