...those sorts of sentiments running through Li's film corpus. In Bruce Lee's action movies, the Eurasian outsider fought for no greater cause than himself (the sole exception is 1972's Fist of Fury, in which he battled the cocksure Japanese).

In New York, Notchi tried so hard to approach Obama at front of the Hammerstein Ballroom, where he was attending a Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen concert, he had guns pointed at him by policemen. He went to Obama's house in Chicago, but ended up being taken to a police station for questioning. (The director and the camera crew ran away when he got caught).

...with CO2, which is found in greater concentrations in coal than any other fossil fuel, that force plants in the permitting process to be reevaluated, delaying them for months or longer. "In a nutshell it sends [new plants ]back to the drawing board to address their CO2 emissions," says Bruce Nilles, director of the Sierra Club's National Clean Coal campaign.
