This Sunday, Spike TV will honor martial arts legend Bruce Lee by broadcasting a few of his movies, not to mention a bit of cross-promotion with GameTrailers.com. Here's the schedule:
- 1:00 p.m.: Game of Death
- 3:00 p.m.: Fist of Fury
- 8:00 p.m.: Enter the Dragon
- 10:30 p.m.: Dragon: the Bruce Lee Story
Enter the Dragon will be presented by Lee's daughter, Shannon Lee, who will share anecdotes about her father and some behind-the-scenes footage. Also, both the GameTrailers and Spike TV sites will feature digital content to coincide with "Bruce Lee Day."
Dragon: the Bruce Lee Story, for those of you who don't know, is a biopic made after Lee's death and features Jason Scott Lee as Bruce Lee. It is based on the book Bruce Lee: The Man Only I Knew, written by Linda Lee Caldwell, Lee's widow.
I don't know if much will be said either on TV or online about Lee's role as Kato on the old Green Hornet series, so enjoy this short clip of Lee as Kato beating the crap out of some bad guys:

I love Bruce Lee's movies but Spike should have never included "Game of Death" in the schedule. This is the worst movies that Bruce Lee never made! While filming this movie he was offered to star in "Enter The Dragon". He planned on resuming filming but died before he could do so. The director filmed scenes with a stand-in which was pieced together with original footage of Lee and footage from earlier in his career. The movie was released 5 YEARS after his death. Most memorable scene: The stand-in looking at himself in the mirror with an obvious cardboard cutout of Lee's face pasted onto the mirror's surface.
