RIP, Bruce Lee. This was he last film before his passing in 1973. He was 32.
Actually that was Game of Death. He just didn't finish it.
@@Fatherofheroesandheroines Bruce filmed the Game of Death footage in September/ October 1972 before putting it on hold to film Enter the Dragon. He never got the opportunity to return to GoD before he passed in July 73.
Still Miss Him 😢
others remember him for the way he died..Linda remembered him for the way he lived
🧢 no its wasn't (game of death)
Fun fact: the scene where Parson's boat starts to sink (7:40) was not written in the original script. The boat was released, as per the script, but the film production team didn't realise that it had a leak in it. As the boat started to sink, the film crew panicked but actor Peter Archer yelled "Don't worry! Get the shot; I can swim!" Archer was an Australian who grew up around water. So Robert Clouse kept filming as the boat continued to sink.
Years later Archer reminisced "It was fine as I was a strong swimmer but, gee, that river stank! I was covered in it!”
That can also easiely happen without a leak.
Thats what the song "what shall we do with a drunken sailor? put him in a long boat till hes sober" refers to
Also ironically cast as a New Zealander, who sounds absolutely nothing like anyone I've ever heard in this country. Though it fits perfectly with the stereotype that Australians have never been able to imitate our accent in anything recognizing us.
I still cringe everytime I see that scene, haha.
"Never take your eyes off your opponent, even when you're bowing."
Fun Fact: Bruce Lee actually struck Jackie Chan in the face with one of his fighting sticks. He immediately apologized and insisted that Jackie Chan could work on all of his movies after that. Unfortunately, Bruce Lee died before he could keep his promise.
Also, an extra challenged Bruce Lee to a fight to see if he really was that good. Bruce Lee won the fight and sent the extra back to work.
I suppose you didn't watch the video.
actually jackie did do 2 other movies with bruce
Saw this in the theater when it came out. The theater was packed and the audience was really into it. When Bruce Lee is cut and he licks the blood on his finger. A woman in front of me stood up and yelled "Oh no! He tasted his blood! He BAD when he tastes his blood!". The audience cheered.
Now watch Way of the Dragon aka Return of the Dragon. Bruce Lee directed that one (the only completed movie he directed) and Chuck Norris is also in it.
LOL, you're perfectly describing the Fox Theatre in 70s downtown Detroit!
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”
One of Bruce's most profound quotes and so incredibly true.
@@LordVolkov he was an incredible dude. I wish he was able to make more movies.
If you drink it, it becomes your bladder.
@@LordVolkov agreed 😊
Definitely 🐉
If you look at the flags in the background where Lee VS Han, Bruce Lee was so fast in that scene, the footage at that moment was actually slowed down as you can see how the flapping of the flags are off and how slow they move when returning to their "Stance Positions". A common issue with Bruce as he was often told to slow down as can be seen in the behind the scene footage of Game of Death between himself and Kareem where they are both moving about too fast on camera.
Not only that, but in some scenes, when slowed down, what looks like a single punch was often 2 punches in rapid succession!
OK, she's hilarious.
You guys were good. I dug it 👍
I love it so much when Pippin reaches out and puts his little paw on your shoulder, he always looks so concerned when he does it
"Bullshit, Mr. Hand Man" is one of my favorite lines in any movie
Watch it with subtitles or read the screenplay or use Google...
It's "Bullshit, Mr. Han Man."
RIP Bruce, Jim & John.
“I will be downloading this soundtrack.” Damn right you will. Arguably the finest work of Lalo Schifrin’s very esteemed career. (I mean, other than the Mission: Impossible theme, of course.)
Lalo Schifrin was the goods. His soundtracks for "Bullitt" and the Dirty Harry films was pure funky goodness.
Much of the music was lifted directly from this film (including the martial art cries ("kiai" in Japanese) were used in the syndicated show "Kung Fu Theatre" which would air various martial art films on weekends in Los Angeles.
Coincidentally, Kung Fu Theatre's host was John Saxon
One of my favorite movies. RIP to Bruce Lee and Jim Kelly. Hope you two are having an great and awesome day ❤️
John Saxon died recently if I remember correctly as well.
@@ajclements4627 he passed away on July 25, 2020
Rip to Bob wall shek kin (mr han) as well, only sammo, Angela mao, bolo yeung are still alive
Bruce Lee The Man The Legend.He’s the reason why so many of us took up martial arts in the 1970s.My favourite Bruce Lee movie is actually FIST of FURY.My favourite Bruce Lee fight is Bruce against Chuck Norris in WAY of the DRAGON.A fight that still stands up today over 50 years later.This year 2023, is the 50th anniversary of his passing in 1973, and I hope there are plenty of celebrations for what Bruce gave to the martial arts and martial arts movie community.
@@ninjavigilante5311 And don’t forget Jim Kelly and John Saxon have also gone to.🙏
Love this movie. So many ppl overlook the philosophy. He was one of a few ppl back then that took eastern & western philosophy & put them together.
Bruce made the sounds for real. He used them as a distraction for his opponent. He equated it to animal sounds like tigers who hissed and growled before they attack.
Emily, if you are interested, there are some videos of Bruce Lee doing demonstrations of his skills, he really was fast. His best move the "one inch punch", was hitting his opponent with his fist from a few cm and he could make his opponent fall a few meters. Did you know that one of his students was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?
Bruce was tiger-fast and Olympic weightlifter strong...Many of today's MMA champs have praised him, saying "No doubt about it--He would've been a longtime champ for sure, Possibly retire undefeated" So sad Lee didn't get to live long enough to see this movie become Warner Bros. top 5 in 1973 and a critically praised gem--Just as he wanted.
I simply love “ The art of fighting without fighting”
Love this movie. I first saw it as a little boy in the theater with my dad. You should watch Return of the Dragon with Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris
'Way Of The The Dragon' (it came out in Hong Kong before 'Enter The Dragon' did) - the US distributor changed the title to 'Return Of' after 'Enter The Dragon' was a worldwide hit (even though it has no direct connection to 'Enter The Dragon' at all).
For reacting to this film ..."You have our Gratitude"
Thank you posting this. "These men are drunk and don't care where they are."
@@josemuse4119 "And these men don't know who they are and don't care, but don't drink!"
Two of the worst injuries Bruce Lee suffered filming this movie were: When he was fighting Oharra, the bottles were real glass, and he got his leg and foot cut pretty badly. Also, when he let the snake loose in the radio room, and as he was trying to step on it, the snake bit him and he had to be rushed to the hospital.
More Bruce Lee movies! 😊
Big Boss and Fist of Fury are classics!
Check out the original Cantonese version, see how Bruce Lee became a Hong Kong superstar.
This was always and will forever be my favorite Bruce Lee film
Next you need to watch “way of the dragon” aka “ return of the dragon” starring and directed by Bruce Lee , the final fight scene is probably the best there ever was in a kung fu movie !
Also "Fist Of Fury" (1972). And the words about Bruce's apology to Jackie Chan for a strong blow refer specifically to this film. And there is a video about Bruce's screams: ruclips.net/video/Jv0qjWsXgP8/видео.html
Great reaction to an awesome Martial Arts film you two.
Fun Fact: Yeung Sze (better known as Bolo Yeung) also appeared in several movies with another martial arts action star, Jean-Claude Van Damme, such as Bloodsport (1988) & Double Impact (1991).
There is black and white screen test footage of Bruce Lee where he demonstrates martial arts. In the footage Bruce gives a high-pitched yell during some of his moves, which leads me to believe Bruce did dub the high-pitched yells in Enter the Dragon. Great movie!
I love how this movie is the beginning of Martial Arts as a genre in America, and how much ground work it laid. You had Bruce, Sammo, Jackie, and Bolo all in the same place. That's the *start* of the legacy of this film.
and they had Jim kelly who was a martial arts master himself and starred in his own movies
@@antoineporche-rideaux4841 Oh snap how could I forget Jim.
What I learned in Jeet-Kun-Do is that the noises we make when striking is mainly for breathing and getting ready for a counter so you can counter back. tightening of muscle in case you take a hit when getting in close also, there's less of a chance of getting the breath knocked out of you if taking a body shot. JKD was about distance and ending the fight quickly. Bruce Lee took fencing, Mahamad Alis boxing and Wing Chun and made JKD which he was always trying to perfect. He was a philosopher as well. it's been a long time since I have done anything related to it all. BTW the noises we make aren't too loud but changing up how and when we do it can throw people off.
I read that although John Saxon was really a martial artist in addition to being an actor, this is the only movie he ever used martial arts in; he apparently wasn't interested in doing it elsewhere on film.
Besides being a martial arts classic, that funky 70s soundtrack by Lalo Shifrin alone is worth the watch.
when you see Bolo Yeung in an 80s movie, you'll wonder how he's defeated aging
this movie really kept Pippin's attention
most famous bit of lore: when Bruce kicks that one guy into the crowd. he was hit so hard and moved back from kick. he broke thecarm of one of stuntmen in crowd.
That's Keye Luke dubbing the voice for Han. Among 100's of other roles, Luke played the blind Master Po on the original Kung Fu TV show. A show whose producers considered, then passed on, Bruce Lee as the star. The role went instead to David Carradine, a noted rope enthusiast.
Bolo Yeung plays a hero (for a change) in the movie "Bolo." It's a martial arts comedy remeniscent of Terrance Hill and Bud Spencer's comedy westerns.
MAN ....U COME RIGHT OUT A COMIC BOOK!!
Sho-nuff!
Highly underrated Sammo Hung movie - Eastern Condors, with Yuen Biao (one of the 'Three Dragons' with Jackie and Sammo)
I loved him in "IP Man 2."
Sammo Hung is an absolute legend in his own right. His choreography made everyone he choreographed look as good an on-screen combatant as they could.
Wonderful reaction. You guys are so fun. Now go watch Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. It's a blast, and it's gorgeous, and it has amazing fight scenes, and a beautiful love story. The thing that makes it so entertaining as a biopic is that it's like a Bruce Lee movie. The score is so great that bits of it have been used in commercials, trailers, sports videos, all over the place. You won't regret it. Jason Scott Lee looks nothing like Bruce, but he channels him. You believe him instantly. He's magnificent.
Absolutely loved it when Matthew said, “ No mha’ta here.” Now Emily must watch Bloodsport immediately after this. I tip my hat to you, Sir Matthew, The Silver Screen Supreme
The Shaolin priest that Bruce Lee speaks to at the beginning of the film is Roy Chiao, an actor from Hong Kong who also played Lao Che in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom". The reason that the dub is so bad is because that was a deleted scene that got inserted into the movie decades later.
Jim Kelly, who played Williams, made several other action films in the 70s. I'd recommend "Black Belt Jones" and "Three the Hard Way" if you're looking for more quirky 70s martial arts entertainment. These films were later parodied in "Black Dynamite", with Michael Jai White.
Roy Chiao also played Senzo Tanaka in Bloodsport.
Black Dynamite is epic
Two things....there was talk of doing more films with this character as a sorta James Bond adventure series. The other...when George Lucas was in college and writing his treatments for what would eventually become Star Wars, George created the Jedi based on Bruce Lee. In fact George was hoping when he got the chance to eventually make Star Wars he wanted to cast Bruce as Obi-Wan Kenobi
corridor crew Gui a stunt man talked about that specific scene, and pointed out that Bruce didn't turn his hip all the way and still had that amount of power/force.
Yeah if you got hit by that in real life "you'll be dead!"
Recommendations for other movies to watch. You talked about respect for the stunt men, so I will suggest Ong Bak (2003) and Chocolate (2008). Its not really a martial arts movie but I liked the idea of Gun-fu so I will also suggest Equilibrium (2002)
I first saw Enter the Dragon when was 7 years old 1978. My father was caretaker of a college that had a film club. So one night I was allowed to stay up late and watch this great film in a college gym on the big screen.. Next day I was Karate chopping everything in sight..
Great movie. Now she needs to see Bloodsport so she gets the reference...and more Bolo😉
And btw, yes, Bruce Lee was that fast. Many of the Hong Kong stars (including Jackie, Sammo, Jet Li) had to radically slow down and exaggerate their movements to be able to catch the details on film.
One story I remember about Enter the Dragon. The one kick Bruce did to O'Haire where he flew back into the extras, was apparently so hard when O'Haire fell back into the men, one of the men broke his arm as they fell to the ground.
Pippin's cool. About 30 years ago I had a big gray cat named Gandalf. On more than one occasion they had to ask Bruce to slow down because he was nothing but a blur on film.
Yes, that was Bruce handling a 9 foot cobra.
I would have to say, though yes, the screaming and yells were done in the dubbing studios, I would have to say they were done by Bruce as they were not present in the first movie he had not part of the dubbing process, but from his second film on, the screams were present and sounded similar from there on and were no longer present in other Martial Arts movies after Bruce's death. Including all the 70s Bruceploitation films that followed since. Though Bruce never made those sounds in real life, he did for these movies.
as a lifelong Hong Kong film fan Enter The Dragon is a treasure trove of actors that would go on to have huge careers including Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and the awesome Lam Ching-Ying to name just a couple.
Yuen Biao is also in this (and not just two instances in which he doubled Bruce), and you also get Mars and Chung Fat as two of the four guards whom Bolo pulverises.
I also later found out about Mang Hoi being the little boy to whom Lee hands the rope connected to Parsons’ boat, as well as Tai Po being briefly visible in Lee’s flashback sequence.
He was 5'7", 126 lbs. He was also obviously chinese, but he is also german. On set of Enter the Dragon some extras challenge Bruce Lee to a street fight and he accept. He won every one of the challenges. He had extensive library at his apartment / house, so he liked to read a lot. He born in United States, San Francisco on November 27, 1940.
Actually, English, though they though German for a long time.
The sounds he made were apparently meant to mimic the sounds cats make - which is fitting as cats don't really give any indication that they're going hit, either. There is a reference to the cat thing in the Colosseum fight scene between Chuck Norris and Bruce, when the kitten make's a few appearances.
Actually, they had to slow down the camera frames to catch how fast he was. He was faster than what you see in this movie.
Bruce was actually faster than this. The camera couldn’t keep up with his speed and he had to slow down his attacks for film lol. Loved your reaction ❤
I really feel like you would enjoy "Black Dynamite" from 2009, especially if you enjoyed the character of Williams in this movie. So much of the attitude in this movie is highlighted in Black Dynamite, as are many of the tropes of 70s martial arts and "blaxploitation" movies. I would love to see you react to that one.
Definitely agree. It's a masterpiece.
Want to see a good funny movie, watch Dolomite. That movie was so funny and pretty good. They made the movie kind of like the way they made Evil Dead.
I was pleased to see your reference to the Kentucy Fried Movie. A hard R movie I wish more reviewers would do.
Pippen was like,, WAIT, CAN I SEE THE SCENE THAT HAD THE OTHER CAT IN IT?
Get Emily some WAAAATERRRR for all the Bolo scenes lol.
At 14:48 when Bruce Lee kicks O'Hara and knocks him into those guys, the force was so great that one of the extras broke their arm as they went down.
yes, and you can see that Bruce actually push more than kicked in that scene.
that kick would have killed Bob if Bruce had stretched his legs fully a split second before and kicked with full power
if you wanna see more of bolo, then check out blood sport if you haven't seen it. And if you have, yes that's him, man looks the exact same for it being 15 yr gap.
American-born, Hong Kong-raised.
Bruce Lee was an actor and martial artist since childhood.
A career spanning nearly two decades, from film to tv and back to film.
His art was taught to many people between his Kung Fu schools and close circle of known celebrities.
Such philosophy and genius made him a renegade to the status quo.
While in most free minds, he was revolutionary.
Enter The Dragon aka Iron and Blood was prepped by filmmakers in Hollywood since Lee's stardom in HK.
An opportunity of a lifetime for Lee to bring his creativity to a higher mass of people across cultures.
It became the first-ever Hollywood made, Worldwide released, Martial Arts action feature.
Bruce's untimely yet mysterious death rocked the world.
His stardom in the aftermath of the film rose to worthy, legendary heights.
He set the bar for so many and still he continues to inspire all walks of life.
So many of the cast and filmmakers have passed away.
But are just as remembered for their contribution to this history-making masterpiece.
You just can't say enough about it without knowing it's importance.
Well said.
Yes, Wikipedia exists....
Thanks for the copy-paste, I guess.
@@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself i don't copy paste.
I say what I know.
The trick of challenging the braggart to a duel and putting him off the boat is from the real-world story of historical Japanese Duelist Musahi Miyamoto
Fun fact: mr. Han is actually dubbed by Keye Luke who also played mr. Wing in both Gremlins movies. Since Shih Kien who played mr. Han barely spoke english or very broken english.
And when Robert Wall who played O'Hara picked up the bottles, one of them straifed Bruces hand which resulted in a cut that required stitches.
You mean he was voiced by Master Po?
The guy sent to "collect the dough or gotta break something" is Pat Johnson who was the referee in the final match of Karate Kid. This was the only movie Bruce Lee spoke in English the rest he was dubbed. Any of the Bruce Lee movies are good for a follow up and of course Bloodsport. (Have a feeling its on the list) ❤ You guys.
No dropped frames. He is that fast. So fast, in fact, that when he did, The Green Hornet, he had to slow his movements way down, as all you could see on film was a black blur, and bodies flying. ❤
Nice review guys. ETD is a 10/10 for me. It was Bruce’s real voice and war cries throughout the movie (except where he talks to the monk at the beginning- this was a scene re-inserted in the movie years after release and the audio of Bruce wasn’t of high enough quality to use).
‘Charlie Bronson always has rope’ - boondock saints?!?
Thank you so much for doing this one! It's one of my favorite! I tell everyone, if you don't like this film, you won't like any martial arts film, because this is the best!
Fun EtD fact...due to UK censorship laws surrounding the depiction of certain weapons in film and TV, the nunchuck sequences were cut from most releases for many years, since nunchucks were on said list of forbidden weapons.
Also, as I understand it, there were several injuries sustained during filming, particularly surrounding the O'Hara fight.
I believe the bottles he picks up and breaks, weren't stunt bottles, but real glass, and at one point Bruce's fist collided with said broken bottle.
Also, the kick that sent O'Hara flying back into the spectators, apparently broke someone's arm.
Yes, those bottles were genuinely glass bottles. Unfortunately Hong Kong film budgets were so low that they could not afford sugar-glass.
Big Bad Han has some absolutely iconic prosthetic 'hands'!
"And here I thought 'Iron Fist' was just an expression!"
"I questioned having fur on the one, but I guess he has the right to BEAR ARMS!"
The Bolo they are… the harder they fall!!!😂😂😂
I have the 25th anniversary edition,in the making of this movie. They said the fight scenes were worked on so much,that a mistake of one inch could result could be permanent injury.
Great movie. You should watch his other movies. My Favorite is Fist of Fury. There is also a great remark of that movie with Jet Lee called Fist of Legend. Also a great bio pic drama on Bruce Lee is Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story a great movie. Also just to remind you guys watched the spoof of this movie in the Kentucky Fried Movie reaction in "The fistful of Yen" spoof.
Me laughing that you didn't recognize the scene from The Last Dragon as you wear your Bruce Leroy shirt. I always look at your husband cause he usually looks into the camera when you miss something. I love watching movies with you two.
This film is iconic for a reason. Funny thing. Enter the Dragon (1973) inspired Jean-Claude Van damme´s Bloodsport (1988), that inspired Mortal Kombat franchises... So you guys are not completely off with test your might. The impact of Bruce Lee is just... immense in modern day popular culture.
I was breathless from laughter the first time I saw him jump on that guy while making that noise. Man what a legend.
We had this on Betamax back in the day, I’ve lost count of how many times I watched it growing up.
When I was a kid, most of my friends in my neighborhood had their Bruce Lee imitations down! We also had homemade nunchucks and no broom handle was safe from us. We had fun right up until we hit ourselves in the face with our own weapons.
Not sure if you've already seen them but BLACK DYNAMITE and WHO KILLED CAPTAIN ALEX might be a fun watch.
This whole movie is one big blueprint for the first Mortal Kombat game. They're not even hiding it.
What is Bruce Lee's favorite drink? WAATTAAAAAAA.
Also, check out Way of the Dragon for a fight with Chuck Norris.
my best friend and i saw this when it came out. we left the movie theater enthralled. soon after we enrolled in martial arts classes.
there is footage on line I saw once of Bruce Lee playing someone at table tennis using a nung chuk instead of a table tennis bat ,was unbelievable to watch !!
An all time classic...It don't get any better than Bruce Lee.
Thanks for reacting to this classic!🙏🏻
One of my favourite films of all time. Bruce Lee is the best of all of us. My dad was a big fan and I believe I was named after him too. The theme song is in my head very often. The scene in the hall of mirrors is so iconic.
"There are no dropped frames. He's just that fast."
No, he was faster. He actually had to slow down so the camera could capture his moves.
54 yrs old. Can you imagine watching this high? I dont have to imagine. ;)
A follow up to this HAS to be Way of the Dragon, if only for that awesome fight s ene in the colluseum in Rome.
Also, the opening fight scene. The somersault over the students was performed by Wah Yuen who is an actor and stuntman who bore a remarkable physical resemblance to Bruce. Wah Yuen is still around and has a prominent role in Shang Chi The Legend of the Golden Rings.
Yuen Wah also doubled for Bruce doing the somersault kick @ 14:25.
@@BPrice1A thought the same, but later found out that the flip-kick against Oharra (Bob Wall) was another of the Yuen clan: Yuen Biao.
Wah Yuen was also the landlord in the Stephen Chow film “Kung Fu Hustle.”
Please react to The Mask Of Zorro (1998) it's directed by Martin Campbell who directed Goldeneye (1995), Casino Royale (2006), & The Foreigner (2017) & it stars Antonio Banderas, Sir Anthony Hopkins, & Catherine Zeta-Jones. It's based on the pulp magazine character created by Johnston McCully in 1919. Zorro is one of the main inspirations for Batman along with the pulp magazine character The Shadow and Sherlock Holmes. Zorro was created in 1919 & 20 years later Batman was created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger in 1939. Fun fact Bruce Wayne & his parents had just come out of a showing of the 1920 silent film The Mark Of Zorro when they were killed in the alley by mugger.
"No mate here" Oh now you have to put it on the list. God bless you cinema sherpa!
I was maybe 8 years old when i first saw this in the early 2000s and i shit you not...Bruce Lee carried the vibe of being a Borderline Superhuman. I can only imagine what it was like in the 70s when it came out in theaters.
Not only the most Influential Martial arts movie ever made,but it's maybe one of the most influential movies in African American cinema.
This Is maybe the most popular movie to interwine Black Culture's love for Martial arts and Martial Arts Cinema going foward from the 70s.
And not to mention the influence on Anime and Video games with the "Tournament Saga" possibly originating here.
And that's only talking about movies and pop culture,in real Life Bruce Lee is the Great Grandfather of Mixed Martial Arts due to him being the one to found the idea of taking the teachings of All Martial arts and combining them into your own style,which would influenced movies like "Bloodsport" and real life fighting Organizations like the very early days of the UFC.
Lol, this film popularized the nunchucks throughout Latin America. 😂
@ really? That's cool to hear.
Bruce Lee was only 32 when he died and I've adored this film since I was about 10 years old. I'm now 5 years older than Bruce Lee before his death. This sh*t wrinkles my brain... Love the film and the reaction!
Bruce Lee is the kinda martial artist that you can visualise in the middle of a sphere, and anyone attempting to penetrate that sphere, he has an instant answer to. You're NOT sneaking up on him easily. He was inhumanly fast, and powerful. This was also the start of the Western obsession with Nunchucks. This was a major blockbuster movie, in movie chains, making nunchucks cool. This led to various countries making them illegal. As fancy as they look to untrained eyes, they're not actually very difficult to learn, and not as effective as they appear. The landlord character from Kung Fu Hustle worked with Bruce Lee as one of the extras, and Jackie Chan had a "blink and you miss it" spar with Bruce too.
Bruce Lee always with the fkn deep ass words of wisdom!
Also I love Emily's "fiah" (fire) lol.
One of {in not the} the finest on John Saxon's performances.
Bruce Lee's speed;
he would do something that he called a "1 inch punch" where he would hold his hand flat palm down with his finger touching the target (board, person, etc.), then close his fist and punch in one smooth, fast motion generating enough power to break boards or bricks.
"Charlie Bronson's always got rope." Now ya gotta watch The Boondock Saints.
Oh, god. She's already seen "Fistful of yen"!
Lol, yep, Kentucky Fried Movie is on the channel 😊
I would love to see you react to "Once Upon a Time in China 2" starring Jet Li (with Donnie Yen as one of his main antagonists). I believe you can get the gist of the social and politcal evironment that the movie is set in without watching "Once Upon a Time in China" (which is also a very good movie, but 2 is more of a crowd pleaser), and the story has a stand on its own plot. The relationships between established main characters might be a little confusing without part 1, but I think the story is engrossing enough you'll be willing to let that go.
@ 6:44 LOL!!! It really did look like Pippin was actually saying "It's-It's calm down. it's not that bad. Shake on it?" Lol!! Classic movie. An all-time favorite.
Highly recommend The 36th Chamber of Shaolin.
“Can you imagine watching this high?” I have, its amazing.
Rip To All Those Who We're In This Movie,Are No Longer With Us, We Still Miss You All
The Greatest to ever do it! Lee!
20+ years ago I attended a seminar taught by Ted Wong when he visited my JKD gym here in Stockholm, Sweden. He would have been about 65 at the time and even at that age he toyed with our Sifu as our Sifu would have toyed with us. After seeing his strength and speed first hand I have no problem believing that Bruce Lee was indeed as fast as he seemed on film. No camera tricks needed.
