Lee starred in a number of films that were released in the U.S., three of which (Enter the Dragon, Way of the Dragon, and Game of Death) premiered after his death.
Some interesting feats of Bruce's:

-Bruce did one-hand push ups using only 2 fingers.
-Bruce was able to break a 250 kg (764 lbs) bag with a sidekick,and could easily destroy a 750 lbs dense peice of concrete.
-Bruce's famous "One Inch Punch" was able to knock back and off balance a 200lb man into a chair, using only 1 inch of striking distance. The target stands with their feet squared and is unable to turn to a sideways stance because of the chair being in the way, thus being knocked off balance.
-Bruce's last movie Enter the Dragon was made for US$850,000 in 1973 ($3.74 million in 2005 currency. BLS[13]). To date, Enter the Dragon has grossed over $100,000,000.
-Bruce was able to hold a 57 kg (125 lb) barbell at arms length in front of him (with elbows locked) for several seconds.
-It was reported that Bruce Lee had one of the lowest ever recorded pulse rates per minute in human history, illustrating his extreme physical conditioning. An average resting pulse rate per minute is between 64 and 72, and an athletes pulse rate is between 40 and 60. At his peak, Bruce Lee's was 18.
