In the film, Lee had a fight scene with Benny Urquidez, who went on to teach her kickboxing. That same year, she guest-starred in an episode of the television series Martial Law alongside Sammo Hung. In 2000, Lee sang a cover of "I'm in the Mood for Love" for the film China Strike Force directed by Stanley Tong. Lee appeared in the sci-fi television film Epoch, which first aired on the Sci Fi Channel in 2001. In 2003, she played the leading role in the action film Lessons For An Assassin.

Filmmaker Justin Lin was chosen to direct the series, which debuted April 5, 2019. In 2023, Lee guest starred in Season 3, episode 6 of Warrior, which marked her return to acting after 20 years. Personal life Lee's husband is Ian Keasler. Their daughter's name is Wren Lee Keasler. Lee is the daughter of Bruce Lee, granddaughter of Lee Hoi-chuen and Grace Ho, sister of Brandon Lee, and niece of Robert Lee Jun-fai and Peter Lee Jung-sum. Lee's paternal great-grandfather was Ho Kom Tong, half-brother of Robert Hotung. Martial arts In her youth, Lee studied Jeet Kune Do, with her father's disciple Richard Bustillo, but did not practice it seriously until the late 1990s. To train for parts in action movies, she studied Jeet Kune Do with Ted Wong. She studied Taekwondo under Tan Tao-liang AKA "Flash Legs" and Wushu under Eric Chen. She also studied under the tutelage of the director of Enter the Eagles, Yuen De, Jackie Chan's Chinese opera brother. Because the film Enter the Eagles (1998) required her to fight Benny Urquidez, Urquidez himself taught her kickboxing.
