Boris Ivković, better known by his stage name Bore Lee is a Croatian martial arts enthusiast and amateur filmmaker from Sinj.
Ship-builder by trade and a great fan of Bruce Lee, he studied martial arts from an early age. In 1994 he began displaying his skills on short low budget martial arts films that were recorded on a VHS camera. Gradually, those films became underground sensations in his native town of Sinj and the shooting of these films on city streets became a popular spectacle.
Bore Lee's fame reached Zagreb when a group of four filmmakers decided to make a film with Bore, titled Bore Lee-U Kandzama Velegrada (In the Claws of the Big City) 2004, a low budget martial arts parody that later turned out to be the most popular trash film in Croatian cinema.In 2005, once again with the same 4 filmakers and this time with a slightly better low budget, Bore Lee appeared in his 8th film titled Bore Lee-"Cuvaj se Sinjske Ruke" Bore Lee: Deadly Sinjs!. Also, with this movie, Bore Lee, became famous all over Croatia, and very soon, in neighbouring countries ( Bore Lee was invited in Montenegro, where he also made his movie, "Golden Sticks" - this is videospot from that movie, authors of music are hip-hop stars from Montenegro - Mc Marko & Mc Niggor ).
Some his movies featured some prominent Croatian celebrities, as well as plenty of pop culture references and healthy humour (although film tries to be serious). As a result, it soon became one of the most popular films in recent Croatian history. In later movies, Bore Lee attracted more Croatian celebrities.
