Fear, death and struggle are three essential parts of everyday human life. In whatever part of the world a person lives or in whatever environment he grew up, he unconditionally encounters the above three terms. Bruce Lee was a unique individual and this enabled him to have a quality understanding and daily practice of martial arts, and only then the medium of film, through which he was presented to millions of people around the world. This work shows the development of Bruce Lee, his effort and commitment to bring his knowledge of martial arts to all people, not just the Chinese, and then to bring the same to the screen. The focus of the paper is to explain the philosophical motifs in his (Lee's) films, which are fear, death and the philosophy of struggle. Fighting philosophy is key to this work as it looks at Lee starting from his state of mind all the way to the execution of a single punch. And we should certainly add the founding of Lee's own style, which is Jeet Kune Do, the art of fighting without fighting.
