He had no mind-body connection.. he was abusing his homeostasis with his body. He just thought his mind was in control over his body.. never ever undermine your body!! Its the exoskeleton that keeps you alive on this earth.. the spirit is already in etherealm. That was plain stupid or a sign he was willing to lose his life... being as smart as he was.. I believe he was just willing to go..Undetected depression like Keith Flint, Chriss Cornel, Elvis.. etc..

      It's true that Bruce used diuretics to blow off water that would give him a "ripped look." I've never heard of him taking fat reducing drugs, and I don't see that in his medical reports. Neither one would have contributed to his brain edema. Thanks for your comments.

      @@TomBleecker i think producers of the crow and director Alex Proyas need Brandon's death to make money .I think casting someone who has starred in martial arts films for the role of Eric is not a good idea. But they initially had a plan to kill Brandon so that the film would gain more fame, which ultimately happened. In 1993, Hollywood made its first film about the life of Bruce Lee. This was the best time to kill his son to attract attention to the film. I don't believe that live ammunition accidentally ended up on the set as a result of them buying all the items from the pawn shop. Moreover, Brandon's friend Jeff Imada discovered these live rounds and hid them in his car. But they asked him to bring them back to the set againThe fact that the director sent home a weapons specialist and changed the scene using a knife to a pistol also looks suspicious. It was also Alex Proyas who chose the Fanboy character who was supposed to shoot Eric. And why they don't give him a bulletproof vest?

      @@Ssssfs Your theory is built on the premise of a conspiracy between 3 - 10 co-conspirators to commit murder, which is highly unlikely. Moreover, the two main producers of "The Crow" were not new to Hollywood's film and television industry. Edward Pressman has been a producer since 1967, which is 25 years before production of "The Crow" began. He certainly wouldn't have risked spending life in prison because he was worried about a movie's box-office. Jeff Most had worked in Hollywood since 1982. Besides a list of other problems with your theory, it seems to me killing the lead when the film hasn't finished principal photography makes no sense. It would make far more sense to do this after filming has wrapped.

      After I began my training, I didn't see much of him because he soon graduated. Years later, I was marketing when I saw him pushing a shopping cart. I walked up to him and said, "Hello, Ron. Remember me? Tom Bleecker?" Because of years of training, I was now more muscular than Ron and exuded ten times the confidence. In all likelihood, Ron knew about my becoming a black belt and fighting in the Internationals. His face turned ashen, and he stuttered a bit and said, "Yes, I think I recall you," trying to distance himself. "So how has life been treating you, Ron?" He nervously gave me a quick overview of his job and marriage, after which I said, "That's great, Ron. Glad to hear it. Good seeing you. Take care of yourself" and walked away. If you haven't seen this video, the encounter with this bully remains my favorite. ruclips.net/video/F3ZnhV1z6OE/видео.html

    Greetings Mr. Tom. You speak on the subject of Br. Lee very well read and trustworthy. Please continue to create and show people what they will not learn otherwise and elsewhere, it will certainly contribute to a better understanding of the life and personality of Br. Lee's. Both the good and the bad. You have something to pass on, don't keep everything you know to yourself if such a thing still exists in your memory or physically. You may not realize it, but you have the power and the power to continue to show things as they are. We can also learn how life was in the 60s and 70s. About the drug letters = I don't think anyone bought them from B. Baker's wife, she could have sold them herself and made a lot more money. It's a mystery how they got to the flea market and I sense some false manipulation around this thing. Personal wish Br. Lee's written letter in the 16th minute of the video is probably evoked by some of his personal hardships in the past, when he was still living in occupied China. It is also known from the position of graphology that he was already under long-term stress at the time when he wrote it. Mr. Lee was a very independent person, and he also had great inner strength, if he set his mind to something, he was able to stick to it. Even though he set high goals that few would have the courage to achieve, he was so confident that he knew he could do it. And he really managed a lot. In the case of his last film, however, he exhausted his strength, because he did NOT have a solid point in his life, which was not given to him by his wonderful wife Linda, who I think was otherwise his great support, but he probably still needed something else. That he had no money at the end of his life? According to information, at that time he bought a beautiful house and a more expensive car. But what I don't understand is that Mrs. Linda was so lacking in authority that she allowed Br. Lee was a financial mess and had little legal treatment, it's true that he didn't know much about the business and was apparently a bit lazy about it and didn't think of backdoors. He was also naive in some ways. But it was also in his wife's interest to control this. Also for the future provision of their children. So thanks for your sharing and keep it up Tom! And if you want to add anything to my comment, I'd love to read it all. 🌷

    • @TomBleecker

      Hello, Anna, and thanks for your comments. If Bobby Baker's wife tried to sell those letters on her own, it would have been unlikely that she could have gotten anywhere near the half-million dollars for them. There also would have been the problems of authenticating the letters and maintaining her anonymity. Moreover, by having the highly reputable auction house broker the letters, she avoided being the target of a potential lawsuit. I think the flea market story was simply put out there to protect her anonymity. Clarification: Bruce never lived in China. In his youth, he lived in occupied Hong Kong, which was briefly occupied by the Japanese, and then for a much longer period, the British. His "Chief Personal Aim in Life" was written when he lived at the luxurious Barrington Plaza and was likely founded in what he was taught as a child, which was that money was all that mattered. Before Bruce's death, Raymond Chow purchased Bruce a home (although a car was ordered, it was never delivered). The house, however, was in the name of Bruce's butler and childhood friend, Wu Ngan, and after Bruce's death, the house sold at a loss. As I pointed out in my book "Unsettled Matters," although Bruce had very little money when he died, he was owed a lot of money by Raymond Chow. Collecting it, however, proved to be a monumental task that took ten years. Lastly, Bruce's legal and financial mess can be attributed to Adrian Marshall, who acted as Bruce's attorney and financial advisor. Adrian Marshall was sued a few years ago for his decades of unprofessionalism by Lee's daughter and Linda, who settled their case out of court. Cheers

      @@TomBleecker Thank you for your reply and providing the exact context. As to the sale of the letters, if I understand it correctly, the wife in question could therefore sell them through an intermediary who offered them to the auction house and split the profit with him. I would like to ask about the book you mentioned, even though I don't promise to buy it yet = do you sell it in person and in electronic form? Mr. Lee's lawyer must have been an outrageous person! I don't want to believe that, but still I believe that he and his wife should have been more careful, even lawyers have to check themselves, then surely he had friends among the actors who could help him in some way, recommend another lawyer. I am also unclear about Mr. Chow's debts to Br. To Lee, maybe the disagreements between him and Lee play a role here, when Lee wanted to become independent and Chow did not want to let go of the "golden calf" that would make him money. Br. Lee didn't want to be owned by anyone. This show business is pretty dirty. After all, what isn't today. Thank you.

      @@annabudasova8258 It's more likely that the letters were cosigned to the auction house, which then sold the letters and were paid a commission. This put authenticating the letters as the responsibility of the auction house. In any case, to me, it makes the most sense that Baker's wife initially had the letters. Many of my books are listed on Amazon, "Unsettled Matters" being one of them. Amazon has both hard copies and kindle editions. Regarding Bruce's difficulties with being paid for his acting, the main problem was Bruce and Chow never had any written contracts. As an aside, there's a huge difference between Hong Kong producers in the 1970s and producers who work in the Hollywood film and television industry. Cheers

As I already understand alone by myself,that Bruce used some drugs in the last 3/4 years of his life,to do what wanted to do.....show to the world who he really was on the screen and "destroy" the Ashkenazi of Hollywood Babylon and he did it! Nobody could know how much was his struggle for his back pain and I don't think was an excuse to do heavy drugs....i think it was his personal choice to use cocaine and even acid! I was a Martial artist when I was young totally inspired by him but after 5 intense year i quit to stsrted to play and sing,30 years of professional Thrash Metal in my country especially l,ITALY,but I never forget Kung Fu and Bruce,i drink tok much in my life and used a lot of drugs,especially hashish and ganja.....i finally quit drinking as i'm sober since 8 years ago,sometime i stiil smoke a little joint,so to me it's not a scandal that Bruce used to smoke or sometime sniff some coke!

    I saw the movie where they show B Lee seriously injured and thought it was based on a real event. But I later found out that wasn't true. Unfortunately, this is how his fans get confused, in various discussions people write that this is why Lee suffered from pain all his life, he took cortisone for it, and this could be the cause of his death. You wouldn't believe how many people believe this. I agree with you that such an approach by filmmakers is irresponsible. There is a lot of nonsense about B Lee and I often don't know what is true and what to think. I'm glad I came across your channel to reply because you had access to B Lee. Mr. Bleecker, I would like to ask, is it true that B Lee had his armpit sweat glands removed? If so, I think it's a health gamble and may have contributed to his death. It is said that Lee was represented by a stuntman in the movies, for example in the movie The Dragon Comes, there is a scene where Lee kicks an opponent and does something like a somersault, turning 360 degrees in the air around his axis. You must have seen this scene. Lee had a stuntman, is that true? I don't know what to believe. And then I read that B Lee only had one testicle. Is this true information? And how did it happen to him? I assume he had some sort of injury and had to have it removed. This would partially explain his fatigue in the last year of his life. I'm a B Lee fan so I'd like to know the truth, not some made up nonsense. I will be very happy for your answers if you know them. Thank you very much and have a nice day.

      If you are interested in weeding out much of the disinformation about Bruce's life and death, I suggest reading my book "Unsettled Matters" that was published in 1996 and is available on Amazon. As to your questions: (1) It is true that Bruce had a substantial number of his sweat glands removed from under his arms because he had profuse sweating, which caused problems for him when making films (wardrobe constantly had to dry these areas of his shirts. Partial removal of these sweat glands would have had no adverse effect on his health. The human body has millions of sweat glands throughout the skin. Most people block these glands regularly with antiperspirants (resulting in anti-sweat), (2) I'm not aware of a movie "The Dragon Comes" that Bruce appeared in. You can check the credits of any movie on IMDB.com to see what movies Bruce may have had a stuntman, and (3) when Bruce was young, only one of his testicles descended, which resulted in the undescended testicle having to be surgically removed in 1969. Lastly, it is true that Bruce had a back problem for several months that resulted in Dr. Tanney giving Bruce cortisone injections in his back. X-rays showed no abnormalities of Bruce's spine, and his back ailment was later diagnosed as a muscle spasm that healed with muscle relaxants and Jacuzzi. Although Bruce stopped getting cortisone injections from Tanney, Bruce continued to use cortisone for an assortment of ailments during the last two years of his life (at that time, little was known about the dangers of extended cortisone use), which Dr. Richard Hunter concluded resulted in Bruce's kidney failure that led to Bruce's brain edema. I hope this helps to answer your questions. Cheers

      @@TomBleecker Thank you very much! As for your book, I will definitely consider buying it, I was looking at Amazon, they offer 2 versions of this book, 1996 and 2017. What is extra in the 2nd edition compared to the 1st edition? I don't know which version to choose. And one more thing Mr. Bleecker: is there a download of the book for the price of the printed book, in PDF format? The price for delivery to my country will be more than the price of the book itself. The film I'm writing about - the dragon is coming - was released in the USA under the name Enter for dragon. Thank you and I wish you good health.

      @@petrroby1409 The link that I provided at the end of this message will explain the three versions of UM. With the exception of a minor exclusion in the 2017 printing, it is the same as the 1996 printing. Unfortunately, the PDF you mentioned is a pirated copy offered by a disreputable person or company that has been ripping off authors for many years. I think the name of the film released in the US is "Enter the Dragon." Thanks for your comments. Cheers ruclips.net/video/31ypiWAbNXA/видео.html

    Do you personally believe it was a cocaine overdose? Also have you seen the apparent last photo of Bruce before his death? Any truth to it?

    Bob Baker's daughter sold them at a flea market. Linda even wrote some of the letters on Bruce's behalf. You should ask her about it.

    Mr. Bleecker, I wanted to ask you a very controversial question. Being that Linda Lee testified that Bruce did not ever use drugs to her knowledge, what kind of impact so you fell these letters would have on any claims of insurance fraud? Do you think this is may be why she has declined commenting in this issue? Do you think that this may be why she along with others wanted an open and shut momentum on the death inquiry? Much love and respect to Linda and her brilliant and beautiful daughter Shannon. It’s just something that has been on my mind lately.

    • @TomBleecker
      @TomBleecker Месяц назад

      There is no question that those letters would have been highly damaging to the insurance claims. My feeling is that at the time, Linda was following the advice of Bruce's attorney, Adrian Marshall, with regard to what she said to the court and the press. Why Linda hasn't commented on those letters only she knows. Cheers

    My mom was 15/16 years old at the time in Hong Kong and she said they thought it was a publicity stunt for Game of Death. My father was living in the Midwest at the time and his sister, my aunt, told him. He couldn’t believe it as Bruce was seen as superhuman by the Chinese. “How could Bruce Lee die?”
