Bruce Lee initially had the birth name
Li Yuen Kam, Pinyin: Lǐ Xuànjīn given to him by his mother, as at the time Lee's father was away on a Chinese Opera tour.. This name would later be abandoned because of a conflict with the name of Bruce Lee's grandfather, causing him to be renamed to
Jun Fan upon his father's return..
Bruce Lee's screen names were respectively
Lee Siu Lung (in Cantonese), and
Li Xiao Long (in Mandarin) Pinyin: Lǐ Xiǎolóng, which literally translate to "
Lee Little Dragon" in English.. The more likely explanation however is that he came to be called "
Little Dragon" because according to the Chinese zodiac, Bruce Lee was born in the Year of the Dragon and in the Hour of the Dragon..
at the age of 5, a young Bruce begins appearing in children's roles in minor films..
At the age of 12, Bruce commenced attending La Salle College, and was later beaten up by a street gang, which inspires him to take up martial arts training..
Bruce also took up cha-cha dancing, and at the age of 18 won a major dance championship in Hong Kong.
However, his temper and quick fists saw him fall foul of the HK police on numerous occasions, and his parents suggested that he head off to the United States..
He enrolled at the University of Washington as a philosophy major.. It was at the University of Washington
that he met his future wife Linda Emery, whom he would marry in 1964. He had two children with Linda, Brandon Lee (born 1965
) and Shannon Lee (born 1969)..
He was a gang leader in his teenage years.. The name of his group was known as "The Tigers of Junction Street"..
On July 20, 1973, Lee was in Hong Kong, due to have dinner with former James Bond star George Lazenby (one of his martial arts students), with whom he intended to make a film..
According to Lee's wife Linda, Lee met producer Raymond Chow at 2 P.M. at home to discuss the making of the movie
Game of Death.. They worked until 4 P.M. and then drove together to the home of Lee's collegue Betty Ting Pei, a Taiwanese actress who was to have a leading role in the film. The three went over the script at her home, and then Chow left to attend a dinner meeting.
A short time later, Lee complained of a headache, and Ting Pei gave him an analgesic
.. At around 7:30 P.M., he laid down for a nap..
After Lee did not turn up for the dinner, Chow came to the apartment but could not wake Lee up. A doctor was summoned, who spent ten minutes attempting to revive him before sending him by ambulance to Queen Elizabeth Hospital
..
However, Lee was dead by the time he reached the hospital.. There was no visible external injury; however, his brain had swollen considerably, from 1,400 to 1,575 grams (13%)..
Lee was thirty-two years old.. On October 15, 2005, Chow stated in an interview that Lee was allergic to Equagesic (combination drug indicated for short-term pain treatment accompanied by tension and/or anxiety in patients with tension headache)

Weighed only 128 pounds (58kg) at the time of his death..
Son of Bruce Lee : Brandon Lee..
birthname : Brandon Bruce Lee.. Pinyin :
Lǐ Guóháo.. born on February 1, 1965, Oakland, California.. He studied Martial Arts and drama, like his father.. He attended several high schools but was expelled due to bad behavior -- on one occasion he drove his car in reverse through oncoming traffic.
When Brandon was eight, his father died suddenly from a cerebral edema..
1986 - his first sequel to the TV series..
1988 - Lee then made a guest appearance in the short-lived American television series..
1991 - Lee signed a multi-picture deal with 20th Century Fox..
On March 31, 1993, the 52nd day of a 60-day shooting schedule for
The Crow, the scene being filmed involved Lee's character walking into his apartment and discovering his girlfriend being raped by thugs..
This would subsequently lead to Eric (casting Brandon Lee) being brutally killed, along with his girlfriend, by the thugs.. Actor Michael Massee, who played one of the villains named Funboy in the movie, was supposed to fire a gun at Lee as he walked into his apartment with groceries..
Because the movie's second unit team were running behind schedule, it was decided that dummy cartridges — bullets that outwardly appear to be functional, but contain no gunpowder — would be made from real cartridges, which had been brought to the set earlier in production..
Bruce Merlin, an effects technician, dismantled the live cartridges by removing the bullets, emptying out the gunpowder, detonating the primer and reinserting the bullets.. This rendered the cartridges inoperative but realistic in appearance..
Merlin and his propmaster, Daniel Kuttner, took initiative to create some blanks by removing live cartridges and replacing the gunpowder with firework powder; the bullets were not reinserted.
Later, a cartridge with only a primer and a bullet was fired in a pistol; this caused the bullet to lodge in the forcing cone of the revolver.. When the first unit used this gun to shoot the death scene, the chamber was loaded with blanks which had no bullets..
However, there was still the bullet in the barrel, which was propelled out by the blank cartridge's explosion.. Consequently, Lee was shot and severely wounded as cameras were rolling at the Carolco Studios in Wilmington, North Carolina..
Seconds later, director Alex Proyas stopped the scene, but Lee remained on the floor.. Stuntman (and Lee's friend) Jeff Imada ran over to him with a paramedic, and discovered a thin slit an inch below to the right of his navel..
By this time, Lee had slipped into unconsciousness and was rushed to the hospital where doctors discovered that a bullet was the cause of the damage. They fought for five hours in an attempt to save him, but at 1:04 PM he was pronounced dead at the age of 28.
At the time of his death, was engaged to Eliza Hutton.. They moved in together in 1991 and became engaged in October of 1992. They were to be married in Mexico on April 17, 1993, a week after Lee was to complete filming on
The Crow - just 18 days after he died
At the time of Lee's death, only eight days were left before completion of the movie. A majority of the film had already been completed with Lee and only a few scenes had to be done..
His Chinese star sign is the Dragon. He was born on Chinese New Year's eve, last day of the dragon..
It would be Brandon Lee's last film. Filming began on February 1, 1993, which was his 28th birthday..
