Kung-fu legend Bruce Lee's family are planning to celebrate the star and banish "fabricated or exaggerated" stories about him by releasing a new movie and book.

Hong Kong will stage a week-long Bruce Lee festival featuring film showings, a fan gathering and a tour of Lee sites to celebrate the unveiling of Lee’s statue at the territory’s Avenue of Stars – Hong Kong’s equivalent of Hollywood’s Walk of Fame – on November 27.

Late kung-fu legend Bruce Lee will be honoured on what would have been his 65th birthday with a bronze statue in Hong Kong this November.
