Eliza wore her wedding dress to Brandon's funeral
Eliza wore her wedding dress to to the memorial service not to Brandon's funeral, but Brandon was buried in his wedding tux.
That is a pile of crock squat. According to the Brandon Lee Movement: Being the only child for four years (Shannon was born in 1969),
Bruce and Brandon were two peas in a pod whether it was training or riding their bikes around the neighborhood. They had a tight bond.

The .44 Magnum prop revolver that killed Brandon was loaded with live bullets
Duh! Not even prop master J.B. Jones was that stupid, and he was surely stupid. Brandon Lee was not killed by a live bullet. The tip
of a bullet which somehow became sheared off and lodged in the chamber of the gun did kill him. Click

#1 Linda named Brandon after Marlon Brando
To borrow a line from the Robot on the old Lost in Space Tv series: "This does not compute." If Linda did name him after Brando, why
add the n? If she loved the On the Water Front star so much, why didn't she name her son Brando or Marlon? The fact is, she named
her son after the actor Brandon de Wilde.

Brandon Lee was one of only 14 people in the world certified to teach Tai Boxing
It's one of those rumors that we may never know. This was the only article to have mentioned it, but in the original article (which was
published only in French) it said that he had written a screenplay, but even at that stage there was only interest, and possibly it just never
got made. It does not seem to have ever been made, so we can only make our own assumption about that.--Sam, The Brandon Lee

According to Le Mundi magazine, Brandon Lee wrote the story for the movie TheBorder Line starring Lynn Redgrave
Brandon Lee owned the 1959 Cadillac used in the movie Harold and Maud
A now defunct site proved that this is not true
Is this the guitar Brandon used in The Crow?
No evidence. Word is producers issued the guitar he used in The Crow,
but it is possible that he did in fact use this, his own guitar.

Did Brandon Lee himself draw the dragon picture in the Rapid Fire art class scene?
No evidence Brandon could draw. And even if he could, movies have prop people who provide, well, props, such as this
drawing. And, you have to remember, that Brandon was really busy learning his lines, creating the Jake Lo persona,
and choreographing the fight scenes. I doubt he drew it, folks.

Brandon Lee knew he was going to die by gun shot wound
This rumor started back in 1993 with an article in the National Enguirer--a USA tabloid. In it Eliza supposedly told a friend that Brandon
would wake up at night in a sweat from nightmares about dying young from gun
shot.
The way these tabloids work, if they can't get an interview they just make stuff up as they go, and they have been sued for it many times.
You cannot believe everything you read. Even in People magazine, which is nothing more than a glorified tabloid itself. In this particular
rag, it said Brandon told a friend that he had a premonition that he would die suddenly on a movie set. The friend was not named, so who
knows if Brandon said it or not.
In my opinion both magazines were printing misinformation. Now, don't get me wrong. People do have premonitions. But I don't believe
what these mags state, and here's why.
Think about it. If Brandon had believed he was going to die on a movie set, he would have been extra careful.
He would have worn a bulletproof vest during every scene, would he not? Wouldn't you?

Brandon turned down the part of a killer marine in the movie A Few Good Men
This is true, according to Sam of the Brandon Lee Movement. Brandon regretted not playing that role since the movie turned out to be a
hit and he liked producer Rob Reiner's work.
hit and he liked producer Rob Reiner's work.
Brandon was supposed to die on March 10, 1993
Duh. This rumor has been floating around Germany for years and there is absolutely no truth to it.
This is true, according to Sam of the Brandon Lee Movement, Brandon (and his reps) and producer Robert Lawrence worked to secure a
deal with Fox for a film, which would be written especially for him. Originally, writer Cindy Cirile was writing a script called The Red
Pole, which had the storyline of a martial artist using his skills to fight the Hong Kong Mafia in New York City. However, Brandon
wanted a more realistic character who he could relate with, and after Alan McElroy came on board as one of the writers, the storyline
dealing both martial arts, dealing with loss and finding out what one is made of was more suitable to Brandon. It had the working title of
"Moving Target," until after the film was made. It was then changed to Rapid Fire.

Was Rapid Fire going to be called something else?
Brandon and Eliza have been hiding in the mountains from Asian triads all these years.
Duh. Brandon has been most def dead all these years, and Eliza has moved on, as Brandon would have wanted.
Linda Lee was awarded 3 million dollars in Brandon's wrongful death civil suit.
Doubtful. As a part of the settlement, the amount of the award was sealed.
