Bruce Lee
Although Hong Kong’s best-known kung fu film star, Bruce Lee was, in fact, born in the USA. In Hong Kong he appeared in over 20 movies as a child actor. He died young at the age of 33 from cerebral oedema, a few days before the premiere of his most famous movie of all, the Hollywood production of Enter the Dragon; he never got to see the enormous impact he was to have on the action movie world.
