Peter Ralston trained with Sifu Wong in the 1970's which was decades before I learned anything from him. Just the fact that he was the first Caucasian to win an international full-contact Martial Arts World Tournament should make people question the validity of these claims that the fight was over racism. In my experience, when one thing in someone's story is proven to be a lie there's usually a lot more falsities people don't know about.
Jeet Kuen Do isn't a style though. It even says so in Bruce's book. It's about how to make the style you have effective. It's not bad info either overall and has some interesting aspects to it.

Making a movie doesn't give something more relevancy though. Does it?
