Bruce Leee and Van Williams were good friends - not as the
movie portrays as self absorbed whinny A -Hole

Honestly that's not surprising and I'm willing to take your word for it.

The Bruce Lee Story was done (obviously) with a lot of input from someone close to him.

For example, the incident in Hong Kong involving the Aussie sailor could have (might have?) gone down differently than the movie showed.

Bruce Lee "was no choir boy" but his impact on the martial arts and on culture can't be denied, and The Green Hornet TV show was where he first appeared. (Me, 10 year old: Kato knows judo!! Big brother, No, Kato knows karate!! Don't you know what karate is??)

I still liked it though, the producer played by Robert Wagner was the positive character in that part of it. The period where he was washing dishes in the Chinese restaurant and his relationship with the lady proprietor were hilarious.
