A giant 7.5 tall bronze statue of Kung Fu innovator Bruce Lee makes it short debut in Los Angeles' Chinatown. 150 thousand more dollars is still needed to make the statue a permanent fixture in the Chinatown square. The statue was made in China back in 2008 and kept in storage at LAX airport till last week.
