Jason Michael Lee was born on April 25, 1970. He was born and raised Southern California; Jason Lee started skateboarding at the age of 13. By the age of 18 he was on a professional skateboarding circuit. There he popularized a move called the "360 flip". In the early 1990's, Jason took some of these tricks to the camera, appearing in several music videos - including one for the Sonic Youth song "100%". Jason got his first taste of acting in 1991, when he turned up alongside Spike Jonze as a teenage drug customer in Allison Anders's Mi Vida loca.
Jason Lee's movie career began when he got a lead role in Kevin Smith's Mallrats. While the film was almost universally planned, Jason received high marks from critics and audiences for his turn as "cynical sidekick", Brodie Bruce. Kevin Smith was please with Brodie, so he wrote a part for Jason in his next film, Chasing Amy. Jason won an Independent Spirit Award for his performance.
Once appearing in several independent and made-for-Television movies, Jason switched to acting in Kissing a Fool. Starring opposite David Schwimmer and Mili Avital, he played a writer who works through his last breakup by writing a book. In 1999, Jason landed two significant acting gigs: one as the demon "Azrael" in Kevin Smith's Dogma, and another as the eccentric young billionaire "Slop Skipperton" in Mumford. Then he went to work on Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous, in which he played a member of the fictional '70's band "Stillwater".
Who was the biggest name in martial arts before Bruce Lee?
Before Bruce Lee the martial arts were not big outside of the Asian Pacific region. His demonstrations and movies helped bring it to the main stream in the US and related countries. While martial arts movies were huge in China and environs as early as the 1920s and 30s, they didn't catch on in the US until the late 1960's with Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris. The success of the television show Kung Fu (originally designed for Bruce Lee) was also a driving force. Later on, Jackie Chan, Jean-Claude VanDamme and Stephan Seagal kept the genre alive and moving. It's true that there wasn't much mainstream interest in the martial arts prior to Bruce Lee's demonstration at Ed' Parker's 1964 Long Beach International Karate Tournament, there were others before Bruce Lee that were teaching and competing. There was a whole thriving martial arts community in the US that included Ed Parker (instructor and body guard to Elvis Presley), Bill "Super Foot" Wallace (world champion, instructor and actor) and Chuck Norris (world champion, creator of Chun Kuk Do, instructor, actor). There are many others that were here long before Bruce came on the scene. Famous champions of the 60's include Joe Lewis, Mitchell Bobrow, Skipper Mullins, Thomas LaPuppet, Alan Steen and Mike Stone. Most of the instructors that were around before that fateful day in 1964 learned their arts while stationed over-seas during their military service in WW II and Korea. There was a time in the 40' and 50's when the public's knowledge of the martial arts ended with Judo and instructors of the "new" styles had to advertise as Judo schools in order to get any students.

What is the story behind the Chinese Demons Bruce Lee Conspiracy?
Ahh good question......During "Enter the Dragon" Bruce worked harder than ever and his body became more and more fatigued. He once collapsed after a take for the movie and nearly died. He said that it was like fighting a Demon. Another answer to this is that Bruce's parents had a boy before him but he died still a baby. They thought a demon took him so when they had Bruce, they gave him a a boy's name and a girl's name in chinese, Sai Fong(translated "Little Phoenix"), the girl's name would confuse the demon and think Bruce was a girl so he would not kill him. Those are two stories having to do with the Demons.

Brandon Lee was accidentally shot in the spine during a filming accident.
During some earlier time, modified bullets were shot off from a gun as blanks. Unfortunately, they had been modified incorrectly, and the result was that a bullet became lodged in the barrel of the gun. The gun was then loaded with blanks, and used in the filming of a scene where Brandon was to be shot. The discharge of the blank propelled the stuck bullet and ended up hitting Brandon Lee, leading to his death.

He was shooting the first scene where 'Funboy's' gang were in their loft, and Michael (a.k.a. 'Funboy') aimed at a grocery sack which contained a fake blood pouch up against Brandon's stomach. Brandon clutched his stomach were the 'fake' gun had shot, twirled around, and slid down the wall. The directors, from what I hear, thought he was just mixing things up and joking. Once they said "Cut!", he didn't move. Eliza, I THINK, went over to him. His heart stopped beating, but an ambulance was called and they revived him. He was flown and taken to many places. His grave is next to Bruce's, originally where his mom was to be buried once she passed.
Also, the gun was fake, but it was improperly loaded. You see, the Weaponry guy, the guy who tells the characters how to use the weapons, didn't know Anything about guns. He took REAL bullets, cleaned the gun powder out, and put them back in. While they should have created a 'pop'-ing sound and exploded like, within a foot of the gun, there was just enough gun powder still left in the gun to make it strong enough to tear thru a grocery sack, Brandon's abs and a blood pouch.
Yeah. You could say I am obsessed
