In celebration of the Max Original series Warrior Season 3, Max partnered with multicultural artists to create murals with iconic images of Bruce Lee in front of elements bridging the gap between Chinese and American history. These murals are not only larger than life, they are interactive and can be located in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
“Seeing Warrior return for our 3rd season during this 50th anniversary year for my father is just the ultimate celebration of his legacy,” said Shannon Lee, Executive Producer on Max’s Warrior and president of the Bruce Lee Foundation. “I couldn’t be more proud of our show, our cast, our crew, and the impact our show continues to have and the entertainment it continues to serve up and celebrating through art and interactivity in 3 cities across the country all at once is just an amazing way for a lot of people to get in on the fun!”
Each mural was unveiled in-person yesterday with talent including Shannon Lee, Olivia Cheng, Perry Yung, Dianne Doan, and Andrew Koji in attendance. The murals are interactable using web-based augmented reality (AR) technology that involves a simple scan of the QR code embedded in the artwork, which will provide an AR experience that brings fans into the world of Warrior and shows off some of the historic weapons from the show in 3-D along with a preview of Warrior Season 3.
