Tom Bleecker recalls great times with Brandon Lee

Brandon was a hero to the kids growing up in the 90s! Listening to these stories of him playing Carmen Sandiego and his heurse car really made me feel like I knew him. I have never heard of these stories before and tells us more about his personality outside of his movies. The world would never have known any of these memories... you knew him first hand. Thank you!

A truly touching story, Tom! I flash back to his smile at your wedding…May Brandon and Bruce continue to Rest In Love 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for sharing your memories of Brandon. It’s been so Long that we’ve heard anything new. I’m a long time fan. I’ve heard The Carmen Santiago story before. I believe I have your book somewhere in my repertoire. It’s just so important to keep his memory alive so that future people who are researching him could understand the man that he was. The special light that he was, and how devastating his loss is to the world. Thank you so much it’s so appreciated.

Great video Tom👍👍👍keep Brandon stories coming love Brandon and bruce❤

Hello Tom, thank you for this video and for honoring Brandon's memory. I'm sure he was very endearing by his charisma, his humor, his sensitivity, his calm. I will never forget it any more than March 31, a date that I would like to be happier. Thank you Tom for this beautiful testimony. a big thought for Linda, Shannon and Eliza the love of his life. rest in peace Brandon. Marie from France

Hi Tom...thanks for sharing so many good memories of Brandon. I was born and raised in the South Bay and lived there most of my life. I was a fan of Bruce and knew he and Linda had two kids, but didn't think anything of it until one day in the early 90s my sister called me to tell me to watch a movie called Showdown in Little Tokyo because there was an actor in it who reminded her of me. Lo and behold, it was Brandon. (my dad was also Asian and my mom was Caucasian) I did a little digging and realized he had about 8 years on me, same as my older brother...who pulled out his old high school yearbook to show me Brandon's freshman year pic...(yes, Brandon stayed just long enough at BMHS to get his pic in the yearbook...then bounced around to other high schools!) I was excited but my brother said he never really crossed paths with Brandon. The next time I heard about him was when my mom told me he had been shot on the Crow set. I'm kinda rambling on here, sorry about that, but I just wanted to say I'm enjoying your videos and can't wait to see more. Did Linda and the kids have any favorite hangouts in the Rolling Hills/Torrance area? I've always been curious about that. Thanks again Tom!

Touching moments with you and Brandon. You're so good at delivering gems. I mean your story telling is captivating. Thanks.

Thank you so much for this, Tom 💓

I think what I find most impressive about Brandon is how gracious he was in the interviews I've seen of him during his career. He's there to talk about a particular film but the questions always go back to his father. Instead of Brandon saying anything about not wanting to answer questions or that he is his own man, he was so gracious with the interviewers and answered their queries. I think the best is the story he shared with Jay Leno about the burglar Brandon caught in his house and how Brandon said the man must have made a connection due to the photos of he and his father.

I would like to hear more stories🙏👍✌

Happy birthday Brandon you were a great talent I know you would of done great things

Thank you for uploading & talking about memories of Brandon … if you ever feel like sharing more memories that would be amazing… Brandon was a great man

This was hard to listen to as it was so sad. I can see it was very hard for you to do this video too. Thank you for your strength to bring these memories to us. I saw the Crow once many years ago, but today I can't watch the it thinking about what happened to him during the making. Just imagine what he would have contributed to the world.

Thanks for this, Tom. I’m from Liverpool, England, and I remember being 14 in 1992 when me and my other two pals began training in wing chun / JKD concepts. Brandon burst onto the scene with Rapid Fire, and he became an instant martial arts idol - along with Bruce. Ah, such fond coming of age memories. BTW I remember Carmen Sandiego game from way back when 😂

Great Video Tom, Brandon had huge potential. Would like to see some more videos on him too!

Absolutely a great video!

Thank you for this video. If you can, Please do share more memories of Brandon 🙏 As many videos as it takes.. we don’t mind. The more the better. It’s one way to keep him alive so he doesn’t fade away. There’s so little of him that fans have

Hello I'm sorry for your loss ,I would like to thank you for sharing your memories with such a great person, I never cared so much about a person who I have never met before .Brandon Lee he was just a genuine person that you could see that his personality just came out through his interviews and you could just read what kind of a person he was the same with his father .if you have more memories that you'd like to share I would love to hear them and thanks again .

Fantastic stories! Thank you very much for sharing them.
