While certain film critics might be quick to dismiss Bruce Lee's work as mere B-movie fare with subpar special effects, one cannot deny that he introduced a completely different set of values to the silver screen—values that had begun to fade from American cinema under the heavy influence of the anti-hero era, and they never truly returned.
Bruce Lee remains one of those rare modern cultural icons who isn't defined by self-destruction, substance abuse, or the gritty, hollow symbols often associated with rebellious subcultures.
One of the most recognizable recent nods to his legacy in film is, naturally, the yellow jumpsuit with the black stripe worn by Uma Thurman in Kill Bill.

He was only 32
