Ted Takes Film Facts, Birth of the Dragon:
- The original cut of the movie was so poorly received by audiences that the film had to be extensively re-edited in a desperate attempt to please fans by removing many scenes of Billy Magnussen and focusing more on Philip Ng as Bruce Lee.
- The character of Steve McKee was based on actor Steve McQueen who studied with Bruce Lee in the late 1960s.
