If there were an award given to the actor that moved so fast, no one could catch him, the recipient of that award would be Mr. Bruce Lee. He was so fast that his speed was considered “inhuman”. On November 27, 1940 a martial arts legend was born in the heart of San Francisco, CA. Although Bruce Lee’s original name was “Jun Fan” in Cantonese, he chose to use the English translation of Bruce Lee.
