Our love of kung fu goes back to the Bruce Lee days in the 1970s. Outside the action, we loved the interesting, heartfelt stories and the dialogue. It was RZA's idea to draw all that in there as samples.

The two biggest influences of the '70s were Don Cornelius and Bruce Lee.

A guy like Bruce Lee, I've always been a fan. How he used to be able to move and be so quick. You look at some of the exercises that he did, and it was all majority free weight, like standing on your hands. That works every muscle. Everything is firing.

Adrian Peterson

Everybody watches Bruce Lee. That's a legend. He's the man!

Astro

It's 'ow,' like, you stubbed your toe. 'Lee,' like Bruce Lee. Then, you add an 'e.' Auli'i Cravalho.

Bruce Lee has always been a hero of mine, and the choreography in 'Enter The Dragon' is amazing.

Benedict Wong

I don't want to be remembered as 'the son of Bruce Lee'.

Brandon Lee

I was raised on Bruce Lee.

Bridget Fonda

My father was, like, the token bad white guy in all the old Jackie Chan/Bruce Lee films.

Celina Jade

What was Bruce Lee like? How did you meet? What was it like to choreograph the fight scene in Rome with him? Did you spend much time together off-screen? Those are a small sampling of the inquiries I'm asked often, wherever I go around the world.

Chuck Norris

I did a movie where my character was obsessed with Bruce Lee, so I learned everything about Bruce Lee, read everything, watched his movies.

Dakota Johnson

Bruce Lee was the first star I idolized. Growing up as a Chinese American, there weren't many people like me on the big screen.

Daniel Wu

My mum lives in Boston; she's famous for teaching wushu and t'ai chi. So from when I was young, my mum and aunt were like: 'You're training; you're not playing baseball or football.' Training every day was normal. Later, when I was almost a teenager, Bruce Lee became my idol.

Donnie Yen

For years, I looked to Bruce Lee as a mentor as being a Chinese and Asian man living in this country.

Donnie Yen

I always said I wanted to become a master of my game, like Bruce Lee. I mastered my art of football, because that's what it truly is when you understand it.

Ed Reed

I use a Bruce Lee technique: 'The way of no way.' He had the idea that he would learn everything, so that whoever he had to fight, he could improvise anything. The best way of starting a gig is just to not think of anything - to clear your mind, not in an empty Zen state, but more just to go on and see where you go.

Eddie Izzard

When Bruce Lee gets his cameo in 'The Green Hornet' - as one of the drawings in Kato's notebook - it clarifies what the film is: an unrealized sketch. A sketch can afford to allude to a point of view. Moviemakers need to show their point of view, something this shrug of a movie never gets around to doing.

Elvis Mitchell

The main thing about Bruce Lee is that, he was a little guy. And you know, his quickness, his aggressiveness, his explosive power, you have to be a great athlete to have all these, his body, his look, you know, all these things have to do with discipline and structure. He was able to go against the biggest guy, regardless of who he was.

Evander Holyfield

My god-father, Bob Wall, was in a couple of Bruce Lee movies, and he trained Bruce Lee when he came to America.

Freddie Prinze, Jr.

I never wanted to be the next Bruce Lee. I just wanted to be the first Jackie Chan.
