Whether DethDiFyer was his friend or not he wasn't that close to 6'0 God bless him.179.5cm DethDiFyer says on 20/Apr/08
Brandon was 5'10 1/2"... Put it to rest. He was my brada / my friend...and I personally measured him. I'm 5'11" and we would argue about it. I am a recently retired stuntman, but current fight choreographer of 21 years, who worked on "The Crow" and "Showdown In Little Tokyo". Since this is about his height...I'll just leave it at that. Please visit brandonleemovement.com, and sign the petition therein to help us get Brandon his most deserved star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. We needed 5000 signatures, and we're over the required amount...but more helps our efforts.

he was very tall about 182-185
you dont have to fight here:)
just watch his death certificate.....i think its true then... trueheight says on 24/Jan/08
Definately not a legit 6ft - unless Ernie Hudson is really over 6'1. He's roughly the same height as Jay Leno, when he appeared on the Tonight Show to promote Rapid Fire (rare interview, it was on youtube a while ago). 5'11.5 Tom says on 14/Jan/08
Brandon was 6'0 tall. Not only was it reported in several articles, but also I have seen documentation from when he died that lists him as being that tall.
A friend of mine who meet Brandon in 1992 while on the press tour for Rapid Fire, who himself is almost 6 foot, said he was surprised how tall he actually was(he assumed he would be shorter like his dad), and he was at least 6 feet tall, according to my friend. Cat says on 19/Dec/07
hehe, im 1/2 inches shorter, but, however tall he was, he was a great inspiration and i dont think anyone can forget such a brilliant man, he said everything in such a meaningful manor, i really wish he didn't have the accident because in everything he did, he did it in character and everybody who spoke about him said he was a loveable man, i hope his soul rests peacefully and ii hope bruce lee also rests in peace aswell x Zain says on 28/Nov/07
A 5 inch difference? lol he wished more like 4 inches Ernie Hudson is 6'0'' and he is clearly taller then him in The Crow. and I doubt that would have impressed his father. Height means diddly squat if you're up against Bruce Lee Tammy says on 18/Jul/07
Brandon is quoted in the Oct 1992 (5 months before his death) People magazine interview saying that he was 6'0" tall and that he wished his father had lived so that he could scrap with him. Brandon felt that the 5 inch height difference between he and his father would have impressed his father. Bruce Lee was 5'7", that would have put Brandon at 6 foot tall. Paul says on 14/May/07
I don't believe he was as tall as 6'0. Standing next to Ernie Hudson(6'0) in heels he was barely taller than him. And Ernie was barefoot and hunching. I would say he was a little closer to 5'10, 5'10 1/2. Not much of a difference. Paul says on 13/May/07

Lmao Anonymous how in the **** can you say something like "I truely beleive brandon was only 5'9.5" Not any taller.He is a short guy" < I mean c'mon 5'9 1/2
is in no way short at all unless you were like Dutch or something.Any man over 5'6 looks average height in my books, I never hear anybody who's 5'9 get called short unless it's some ditsy girl who thinks the national average height for a man is 6'1. Shane says on 22/Apr/07
He was about 6'0" in person in 1991. Absolutely sure of that. Rocky says on 17/Apr/07
There is no way that he is 5'9'', considering that Shannon Lee is listed as 5'9'' in various places. Even assuming that she is really 5'7'' instead of 5'9'' (no base on that, it's a pure supposition), it must be really really really stunted growth if he's only 5'9''. J-Dog says on 10/May/06
The Crow is one of my favorite movies of all time, incredible. Brandon Lee in the Crow looked tall to me, he looked 6 foot and that is why he looked in Rapid Fire near Dolph, I don't see the difficulty of believing this. It's a shame about his passing it sounds cliche, but in this case it was far too soon. trueheight says on 10/May/06
post mortem measurements are usually kinda skewed. first you gotta weigh in what happens to the spine after death(any docs here lol). second, logically, you wouldn't be the *exact* same height lying down as if you were standing up. He always looked tallish and lanky though not quite 6ft Hugh Grant says on 30/Mar/06
His legendarey father was 5ft 7inches. He was more than 2 inches taller than his dad. Brandon Lee was about 6ft, give or take a centimetre. Hugh Grant says on 23/Mar/06
Brandon Lee was not a 5ft 9inch man. I am that height and he is at least a couple inches taller than i am. He says he is 5, 11 so he is. dmeyer says on 17/Mar/06
182 is possible since he didnt look that short compare to dolph lundgren phil says on 16/Mar/06
You're right, it was Jason Scott Lee. He would be 5'9"-5'10" if Robert Wagner is 5'11" and Lauren Holly is 5'5 1/2". phil says on 16/Mar/06
I justed watched "Dragon : The Bruce Lee Story" starring Brandon Lee, Robert Wagner and Lauren Holly. Wagner and Brandon have several scenes together. Brandon is clearly shorter than Wagner (listed here as being 5'11") in every scene by an inch or two. There was also a scene when he comes out of a ring and Lauren Holly is walking next to him. He is barely an inch taller than her and she is listed here as 5'5 1/2". Assuming she had 3" heels on and he was barefoot, with the clear evidence that he is shorter than Wagner, it appears to me that he was 5'9"-5'10" tall.
[Editor Rob: I think you meant jason scott lee?
from Soldier, with Kurt Russell...actually he was taller wasn't he than Kurt?] trueheight says on 13/Mar/06
Happy to see some1 agreees /w my 'long neck' conjecture. he had quite narrow shoulders for a 6footer. Look at photos of his mother, its where he gets his long neck from. TNTinCA says on 14/Feb/06
In Rapid Fire with Powers Boothe, I would say there was roughly 2 inches of difference between Brandon and Powers. Powers is close to the 6 foot 2 inch mark (perhaps a little under). That would put Brandon close to 6 foot.
Brandon had a very long neck which adds to his height. His shoulders were probably futher from his head than most people.
On an aside, was really sad when he passed on. He was a great martial artist and a great guy from what I heard. Damn shame. John says on 13/Feb/06
I dont think ChickKick met Brandon Lee a "few years back" The poor guys been dead since 1993...I little more than a few years back. trueheight says on 30/Jan/06
good that you upgraded him b/c i've been looking at alot of his sites. Again his body is that of a 5-9 or 5-10 but he has a super long face and neck lol ChickKick says on 27/Dec/05
He was about 5'll. I met him a few years back and he was a few inches taller than me, and I'm 5'6. So 5'll.75 is a reasonable guess. Adrianna says on 13/Dec/05
I would say 5'11 as well. He did not look shorter than that. 5'9? I don't think so...! TheMan says on 27/Aug/05
I actually think Brandon was somewhere around 5,10 to 5,11. Lungren is 6,5 anyone would look small so i would say around there somewhere. If He's dad was 5,7 to possibly 5,8 then he probably is around 5,10 to 5,11. trueheight says on 2/Jul/05
Get over it. This guy was definately over 5'10". I understand why you guys would place him lower; He had a skinny frame, but he had long neck and a long face. His mother had a long neck too. If he had a proportional face and neck, then he might have been on the 5'9" side. He is clearly two inches above Michael Wincott, who is 5'9" himself. I have seen this guy in person in NY few years back at a "Before Night Falls" screening. I'm 5'8" and had chucks on, he was definately more than an inch taller than me. He had on dress shoes. Lawrence says on 13/Jun/05
I have Rapid Fire on VHS at home. Rob, I went through the film today upon reading your comment. I found several scenes where Lee and booth are close together at the same angle. I don't know how tall Power Boothes is but there was a 3.5"-4" advantage for Boothe. That means if Lee is 5'11.75", Boothe is anywhere between 6'3 - 6'3.75" I went on alot of sites and discovered Boothe is 6'1" tops. That means Lee is only between 5-9.5"-5'10".
Rob, if you watch the movie you WILL see what I am saying and you will agree.
No word of a lie there was a big difference between Lee and Boothe. There was also a scene where there was a close-up of Lee and Booth standing at someone's door ringing the bell. Both were perfectly standing together, facing the door. The shot was so close up you can clearly see their shoulder difference. There was at least 3.5" of difference. Both were wearing 1.25" heels. However, I noted that the distance from the top of their heads was only 2.5". I think Lee really had sloopy shoulders and a very much longer neck than Booth. I think thats what added to the height he claimed to be, 5'11". But with such a long neck and sloppy shoulders he looks 3-4" shorter than Boothe in terms of shoulders. So I think proportions has alot to do with perception here. Who ever mentioned he is 5'11.75-6'0" is dead wrong. Brandon Lee must have been only 5'9.5-5.10" and not any taller than 5'11".
[Editor Rob: Ok I had another look at Powers. Could he be taller than we imagined? powers beside timothy olyphant.] Anonymous says on 13/Jun/05
Brandon Lee's height is no more than 5'10 3/4.
[Editor Rob: has anyone seen rapid fire lately, can you recall how much difference there was between him and powers boothe?] Lmeister says on 13/Jun/05
I agree with u Lawrence. a friend of mine who is 5'2.5'' told me that her boyfriend is almost six feet tall. The first time I saw this guy he told me that he is 5'9.5''(measured by a doctor). I honestly don't think that Brandon was even 5'11''. 5'10.5'' seems much more accurate... Lawrence says on 12/Jun/05
Come on do you really believe Brandon was 6'2 with 2" heels, thats BS.
That is wrong information dude.
Brandon was no more than 5'10 1/2" for sure.
So on the set 5'10.5" + 2" heels equals almost 6'.
So that lady on the set doesn't know what she is talking about, and she is short. trueheight says on 11/Jun/05
He really was 5'11. A person who worked on the "crow" in wilmington told me she spoke with him, and she just marveled at how tall he was. "He was already six foot to begin with, and he was waering two inch heals so, I REALLY had to look up"
(she was like 5'2)
Michael wincott is 5'9, and wears heels in the "crow", in their scene together towards the end Brandon clearly has a two inch advantage at least.
The reasone he may appear shorter is because he inherited thin shoulders from his mom and that can cause a discrepancy in height.
Plus if you do the height calculater they use for predicting children's heights, bruce lee was 5'7.5, linda lee was 5'7, So Brandon is spot-on at 5'11" Anonymous says on 11/Jun/05
I truely believe Brandon was only 5'9.5" Not any taller. He is a short guy. Watch many of his movies and compare him to other actors/actresses, you will see what I mean. Lawrence says on 9/Jun/05
Brandon Lee was truely much smaller than Dolph...I'd say Brandon was no more than 5'11" In some movies like "The Crow" and "Rapid Fire" there were scenes were he looked tiny...just a couple of inches taller than his dad. lawrence says on 29/May/05
no way, he is no more than 5'10 inces! trust my intelligence!
[Editor Rob: I too didn't think Brandon was as tall as he had said (182cm) but once he done a film with Dolph Lundgren and you know I think he could have been this...]
