History of the Lee Family

Pat explores the history of Lee Moon-sheun (Bruce Lee’s father), Bruce Lee, and Brandon Lee. He discusses the martial arts Bruce learned and taught to his son despite the triad being upset by the teachings. Learn about their storied acting careers with many famous movies including Bruce’s Enter the Dragon and Brandon’s The Crow.

The Debate

Pat and Rebecca debate if the Lee family was cursed. While Bruce Lee’s mom believed a demon might have cursed her son, others believe that Bruce’s insistence on teaching his martial arts to non-Chinese people was controversial (to say the least). Did either of these cause father and son to be cursed?
