HONG KONG - From his skilful use of nunchaku, through his memorable movie taglines and epic yelling, to his iconic yellow jumpsuit, people from all walks of life will never forget all these symbols of legendary martial artist Bruce Lee.

In celebration of 50 years of the kung fu star’s legacy, the Hong Kong Heritage Museum is proud to jointly highlight some of his finest moments in popular culture with the Bruce Lee Foundation.
