Bruce Lee brings inspiration to Super Movie Saturday!

Welcome back to the Mutantville Theaters for another installment of Super Movie Saturday. It’s a crazy weekend in the world of speculative fiction as the latest Batman movie – The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters across the country. We have all been shocked by the events of the Aurora, Colorado theater shootings so what we all need is a bit of inspiration and good karma to go out in the world to counterbalance the pain this event has brought to us all. In the latest episode of MVP Mutant Radio we discussed the principle of “murdita” and finding joy in the success of others so who better to bring some inspiration to Mutantville.com than the man, the myth, the mega-legend – Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee is one of the most inspirational and influential individuals of the past century and it seems only fitting that we celebrate him here at MVP with a screening of the documentary How Bruce Lee Changed the World.


Bruce Lee not only changed the way we train martial arts, but the way fights in movies and television are choreographed, came up with innovative ways of body building but in honor of the Dark Knight Rises – Bruce even inspired several of the stuntmen involved in the movie and in the past Batman has been doubled in fight scenes by legendary Jeet kune do mixed martial artist Erik Paulson in Batman Returns and Batman Forever. Bruce Lee blazed through the world of television, martial arts and movies like the brightest comet in the sky – and even though he is long gone – his influence and inspiration continues to be felt every day.

The Mutantville Players would like to send our most sincere condolences to the families of those hurt in the Aurora theater shootings. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.

To show we will not be deterred in life and give this event more energy than it deserves – we will refocus on the positive and what helps fuel us and help us through life by revisiting the inspiration of one of the greatest not just martial artists – but one of the greatest artists to ever walk the earth – Bruce Lee. So what are you waiting for? We have a special screening of the very cool documentary How Bruce Lee Changed the World waiting for you right here on Super Movie Saturday.
