00:00Well, he was a globally renowned film and martial arts pioneer, and tomorrow would have been Kung Fu legend Bruce Lee's 70th birthday.
00:08A ceremony is being held in the U.S. to mark the occasion. What's that got to do with Scotland? Here's Gavin Walker to explain.
00:16It's not just in martial arts practice that Bruce Lee has followers still in Scotland, but also in filmmaking.
00:23Ara Payaya is arguably the world's leading independent martial arts action filmmaker and...
00:29I do all my own stunts, I do all the action scenes, I choreograph them, I edit them, I shoot them.
00:34I teach the people how to do the martial arts that they need to perform in my movies.
00:38Bruce Lee's influence has been huge, I mean, not only on me, but the entire martial arts cinema world.
00:45There would be no Jackie Chan, there would be no Samo Hong, John Woo.
00:49There would be none of this stuff if Bruce Lee hadn't broken the mold for Asian cinema,
00:54and he was the first Asian superstar to kind of get Western approval.
00:59Bruce Lee would have been 70 tomorrow, but here in Scotland it seems his legacy is still alive and kicking.
