Bruce Lee’s stunt actor was in that too as landlords wife. He did the backflips in enter the dragon!

Bruce was once asked during an interview how he would feel facing an opponent with a knife. He shook his head and said he would pity his opponent because a man with a weapon becomes fixated on the weapon and loses sight of the rest of his natural weapons. I've wondered if the shaking of his head when the nunchucks came out was a nod to that interview.

I noticed that "Bruce Lee" held his nunchuck close to the chain. That's how I was taught to hold them for better control, but the real Bruce Lee held nunchucks clear down at the bottom for more power. Half the fun of studying martial arts is watching films and finding every flaw in the fight choreography. :)

If I'm not mistaken, the guy who plays Bruce Lee here (Danny Kwok-Kwan Chan) is the same guy who plays Bruce Lee in the 2008 series 'The Legend of Bruce Lee', although the actor for Master Ip in that show is very different. Danny is obviously extremely good in the role

I wore my karate gi to a restaurant (slightly fancier than a diner but not much) once, and to corner shops a few times... but this was when I was a preteen karate student with Dad taking me to those places on the way home from lessons, not wearing it just to show off that I do karate. Also I didn't pick fights with other styles to try and prove mine was better. My approach was - and still is - trying to show my opponent concepts their art doesn't teach, and trying to see things in their moves that I wasn't learning at my dojo. Unless someone's actively trying to cause harm, the goal of a fight is to teach and learn, not to win or lose.

The light break was a nod to Bruce Lee only he could reach over 10 feet. Did it in Matlock and a few other sketches Love your reaction

This actor was also a Bruce Lee tribute in one of my favorites: Shaolin Soccer! He has the best Bruce Lee impersonation ever!

The light kick was originally done by Bruce Lee in a television series. The series was The Green Hornet, Bruce wore a mask and was the Green Hornet's driver. There was going to be a fight scene in a basement or warehouse and Bruce improvised the overhead light kick just as the fight was going to start. I enjoyed the first 2 Ip Man movies more than the follow on. Have you done anything on Sonny Chiba? He was Japanese, practiced a "hard" style karate, and was one of the first martial artist in movies. Later he was an adviser and choreographer for many U.S. movies.

It took me a while to learn to not hit the backs of my elbows (funny bone). Once I figured that out, I never hit myself again.

The only reason I can see why those guys were still in their uniforms at the beginning is because the scene takes place right after a Karate Tournament that Bruce Lee and his school participated in alongside other schools. It would still make sense that folks would have changed back into some casual clothes by the end of it, (Bruce Lee certainly took the time to change) but I’m guessing these guys wanted to quickly find and pick a fight before Bruce Lee went home for the evening.

Exactly buddy in the alleyway kicking lightbulb out

At my older age and knowing the world and my life Id love to be young again if I could study with IP.

Remember Bruce Lee's famous quote. "The best style is no style." Once you use a style you confine yourself to it and your opponent will be able to read you. "Be like water" Shape yourself to the task at hand. If the moment requires a haymaker punch then do it. Knowing as much as possible is good. But practice makes perfect and knowing to much will slow down the process of learning the important things. Jeet Kune Do is the basis of what is important to learn first. "Fear not the man who has practiced 10000 kicks once. Fear the man who has practiced one kick 10000 times" Striking a balance between these two methods is the key to mastering martial arts.

Alternate timeline: No one engages with the karate guys and all sit in the restaurant eating while that guy in the alley continues to wait lolx

Not really... Bruce's exposure to boxing happened very early on. He was a championship boxer in the late 50s in Hong Kong.

I strongly urge you to watch the fights in Once Upon a Time in Shanghai. It stars Phillip Ng (who played as Bruce Lee in Birth of The Dragon) and Andy On (he fought Donnie Yen in Special ID). This movie is apparently a remake of the Shaw Bros. movie The Boxer From Shantung, just like how the movie Hero is (the 1997 movie not Jet Li’s Hero) the fight scenes were choreographed by Sammo Hung last I checked (he also stars in the movie too)

yes some of thise punches were haymakers but around this time when Bruce had his own school he did study both boxing and fencing for technique and style. So I like nod to that.

I love that fight

karate dude got his aSs handed to him says GG after the fight massive respec

Wow...he is very simple in fight...

Damn, this guy is more like Bruce Lee than Bruce Lee himself. The setting with the taverns and back alleys truly captures the scene from the video games "street fighters" where Ken and Bruce Lee are fighting. I wish Chun Li would appear and defeat both of them with her shadowless, fatal kick."
