Director Rob Cohen combines fantasy with reality, respectively to each other, to illustrate the spiritual and philosophical aspects that have structured Bruce's identity throughout his life in an ever-changing world. Cohen also manages to bring forth the physical, athletic elements which gave rise to Bruce's legend as a "Dragon", which formulated the indigenous entities that helped him create his very own system of martial arts, Jeet Kune Do.

Regardless of what some have, and will say about the film's principle star, Jason Scott Lee's imperfect Bruce Lee-likeness, Jason performs the title role with brilliance and absolute class, absorbing and emulating every quality about Bruce Lee as much as possible to fit the film's commanding standards, giving viewers a piercing look into a realistically surreal, ethereal and magical world of Bruce Lee.

Supporting actress and co-star Lauren Holly gives a progressively beautiful and evolving performance as the woman who would later become Mrs. Bruce Lee, and ultimately succeed Bruce's legacy through the Bruce Lee franchise, thanks to Universal Studios.

Other co-stars and supporting cast members, including Sven-Ole Thorsen, Ric Young, Luoyong Wang, Clyde Kusatsu, Nancy Kwan, Michael Learned, Sterling Macer Jr., Ong Soo Han, Robert Wagner, Kay Tong Lim, and John Cheung, Hong Kong action cinema veteran and the film's co-star, and co-fight choreographer, all do the film justice in performing their respective roles, with regard to the integrity of the film's story.

Moreover, John Cheung, as mentioned above, along with the aid of Jeet Kune Do coordinators, Fran Joseph and Jerry Poteet, all shared a common goal in creating the highly electrifying and whimsically entertaining fight sequences needed for the film to work, also aiding the concept of Bruce's goal in highlighting the differentiating concepts of martial arts: style and substance.

The TV series approved by Shannon Lee, daughter of Bruce Lee, for production for TV broadcasting in China features some immense star power, with names like Gary Daniels, Michael Jai White, Ray Park and Mark Dacascos. However, after watching the respective, boring 3-minute long trailer for the TV show, it does not come with much surprise in realizing that this, Rob Cohen's Hollywood production, is the BEST biographical observation of Bruce Lee's eclectic and wondrous life, spanning years in the entertainment industry and martial arts world.

Conclusively, Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story is, inarguably, the only production of its kind that can do what it does on the big screen. Needless to say, there will be no other production like it, or any TV show of any kind that can imitate it!
