If Bruce Lee were still alive would he still be making martial art movies?

Or would he be reduced to voicing forgettable crappy characters in kid's movies like Van Damme does now?

I guess Master Croc isn't that bad, the "Jean Claw" guy from the Minions movie is just dumb and has no reason to exist other than the dumb pun.

His death was a tragedy but dying young in his prime, both physical and fame, is probably what set his legend in stone. In his prime is how he will be remembered because we never got to see him become old and having to settle for more minor roles if he still wanted to act.

It's like that movie Shane, if you want to be remembered as a hero you need to just fuck off once you've made your mark.

I doubt it, he would be in his 70s or 80s now.

Would be difficult to say since if he was alive he would have lived to see his son die.

Bruce Lee didn't die. He just ascended to heaven.

He'd probably be semi active like Chuck Norris as he'd be too old for that.

I'm not sure about now, but there's no doubt in my mind that he’d have had a very long and successful career after Enter the Dragon blew up.

In fact, he was so in-demand and popular after his death that multiple lookalikes were astroturfed by the Hong Kong film industry as being the "next Bruce Lee" and very directly tried to capitalize on his image. This was called Bruceploitation and the sheer amount of films that fall under this umbrella is seemingly endless.
Take care of yourself
