The Real Bruce Lee, is a 1977 martial arts documentary that comes complete with a feature-length Korean martial arts film titled Last Fist of Fury (최후의 정무문, Choihui Jeongmumun).

Synopsis

It begins with a brief biography of Bruce Lee, and shows scenes from four of his childhood films, Bad Boy, Orphan Sam, Kid Cheung, and The Carnival, each sepia-toned and given a fully new soundtrack with dubbed English dialogue and a disco soundtrack such as an instrumental version of Devil's Gun by C. J. & Company.

Next, there is a three-minute highlight reel of Lee imitator Bruce Li.

Last Fist of Fury

This fourth installment is a loose Korean take on other namesake films such as Bruce Lee's Fist of Fury: The Chinese Connection (1972), Jackie Chan's New Fist of Fury (1976), and Bruce Li's Fist of Fury II: Fistful of the Dragon (1977).

Japan has invaded China and started putting shame to the glorious past of the House of the Dragon kung-fu school. When they kill one of the pupils in an uneven match, a fellow fighter named Yǒu Lóng (龙友) who is also from the school has put his own life at risk after swearing to avenge his murdered kung-fu brother against every last foreign oppressor from Japan. The film stars another Bruce Lee imitator known as Dragon Lee.

Sequel

In 2004, The Real Bruce Lee 2 was released.
