Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, A quartet of original production concept art design storyboards

A quartet of original concept art designs / storyboards from the production of the beloved biopic, 'Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story' (Universal Pictures, 1993), starring Jason Scott Lee and Lauren Holly and directed by ace-helmer, Rob Cohen ('The Fast and The Furious', 'Dragonheart').

Hand-painted by famed production artist, Nikita Knatz (Batman Returns and Predator), these four beautifully articulated storyboards depict the character of Bruce Lee fighting with the phantom, or demonic nemesis, during  the filming of the famous Hall of Mirros fight sequence for Lee's magnum opus, 'Enter the Dragon'. Each of the storyboards has been rendered in mixed media (wonderfully detailed matt drawings on vellum or translucent stock mounted on 8 x 11" bond paper) and include production-notes outlining the intended shot-sequences. For example, : "Phantom throws the Quan'Do at BL OS" and "BL Ducks, Catches the Quan'Do". The first storyboard is identified by the number '22' in the top right corner, the second by the number '23' in the same position, the third by the number '24'. and the forth by '25' All storyboards include the original punch holes from the art-department compilation-deck.

The conceptual sequence depicted in this quartet of storyboards was not actually included in the final film. Instead, the phantom appears in Bruce's imagination and drags him directly to the location of  his own gravestone. The phantom overpowers Bruce quickly, but when his young son, Brandon, appears and becomes the new focus of the phantom's deadly intentions, Bruce finds renewed strength to kill him with his deadly nunchaku. Consequently, this beautiful storyboard collection provides a fascinating insight into the unseen development phase of this very popular film.

The storyboards remain in very good 'production-used' condition, with only minor handling-wear, and are perfect for framing...
