Talk:Bruce Lee

Gary Elms

"Lee defeated three-time champion British boxer Gary Elms". I can't find any other sources that even mention this name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reonidas (talk • contribs) 05:14, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

legally speaking, it is impossible to be Chinese/ American

I'm an American citizen, born in Ohio, that has lived in China for close 10 years (Jan 2002). Since then, I've married a Chinese and have had 2 kids born in Shanghai. It is legally impossible by both US & Chinese law to be American/Chinese citizen. I looked into it, I spoke with high dollar lawyers. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE DUAL CITIZENSHIP BETWEEN THE 2 COUNTRIES!!!! Bruce Lee was a person born in China that became an American. please correct your literature and while at it, check the laws. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.38.77.27 (talk) 13:46, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Your statement is false. Bruce Lee was born in California. He was never a Chinese citizen, although he did grow up in the British crown colony of Hong Kong. — Myasuda (talk) 15:51, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure "Chinese American" is not at all referring to dual citizenship. Lee was born in the U.S. and so is a full American citizen COMPLETELY LEGAL. The added word "Chinese" is in reference to his genetic identity. As is the term African American does not refer to dual citizenship of U.S. and Africa. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.193.62.206 (talk) 10:05, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

"Genetic identity" you say. Shouldn't he be called a "Han American" then? 184.96.202.120 (talk) 16:11, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Electric shock

In Linda's rendition of Lee's life, she briefly mentions his usage of body electrodes and electric shocks to exercise his body. A documentary on Lee's life I watched many years ago blamed his ever-increasing usage of electrical body shocks as the cause of his death. I don't see any mention of this at all in this article. Is this a controversial issue? – Paine Ellsworth ( CLIMAX )  07:34, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

I believe it's simply unsubstantiated. Was there any doctors support for the documentary? Was the documentary picked up by others and pursued? Just because it was in a documentary doesn't mean it's true or verifiable. Padillah (talk) 15:30, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

This claim is mere conjecture unless verifiable sources can be found with evedice of electrode usage for muscle gain is dangerous/deadly. Therefore it does not belong on the page..yetP0PP4B34R732 (talk) 20:05, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you both very much, Padillah and P0PP4B34R732! All makes sense to me. – Paine Ellsworth ( CLIMAX )  06:19, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

When you said "Linda's rendition" above, what exactly did you mean? I did perform a search on this topic, but only found a reference to electric shock in "The Tao of Bruce Lee: A Martial Arts Memoir" by Davis Miller (Chapter 22) and this claim did not appear to have a source attached to it. Regarding the documentary you mentioned, I suspect you're referring to the movie Bruce Lee: The Man, The Myth which cannot be regarded as reliable. — Myasuda (talk) 13:06, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Al Novak

Mr. Novak seems to have a fairly important early role in Lee's life, according to the info in these references: [1][2][3][4][5]. Could someone work this into the article, if I dont get around to it. He needs his own article.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 08:31, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
