Bruce was actually faster than what you see. It is well known that he was constantly told to slow down because he was too fast for the cameras to pick up.
It wasn't not only for the cameras, it was for the audience's sake. Bruce would trap an opponent and punch so quickly that viewers had no idea what had happened. Even on video, where you can slow the action down, it's often difficult to follow the feints followed by an instantaneous strike,. I can't imagine what it would have been like to have actually tried to fight him. @@johnwjr7
@johnwjr7 back in the late 60s, early 70s the normal framerate was 24 frames pr second, and if you were fast enough your movement couldn't be caught of film. Today we use digital cameras that can catch movement to a 1/1000th of a second so it is practically impossible for a human to move fast enough to avoid being caught on camera
Jackie Chan was actually a stuntman/henchman in this movie. He tells a story about how when shooting a scene with Bruce, Bruce accidentally really hit him in the face with a wooden bow staff. Bruce finished the take like nothing happened but as soon as the director yelled "Cut" he went to Jackie and apologized profusely for hitting him. Jackie over sold the pain just to get some extra sympathy and attention from Bruce. For the rest of the shoot, every time they saw each other Bruce would ask Jackie if was okay. Jackie would rub his face where he'd been hit and then give Bruce a 👍to let him know he was fine.
Jackie Chan (10:28)was also one of the thugs who surrounded his sister and the old man at the beginning. Jackie was the first one to grope his sister and got nailed for doing it. @cedricholden1409
Another fun fact. They actually slowed down the film, because Bruce Lee was too fast! At normal speed the movements looked strange, because he was just that fast!
Bruce's sparring opponent at the very beginning became a legend in his own right: Sammo Hung Kam-Bo. Despite his girth his martial arts ability was absolutely incredible, while his choreography could make anyone look really powerful on-screen. In the late 1990s he became known for a TV series called _Martial Law,_ in which he played the lead role, but his earlier film work is where his true genius really shines.

There were several instances, where the camera had to be slowed down, due to the ridiculously fast speed of Bruce! Such as the television series, THE GREEN HORNET.
Saw this in theaters yesterday(8/13/23)! There was about 60 people, which is pretty good for a 50 year old film. I have this movie on VHS, DVD and Blu-Ray, but I still had to see it on the big screen at least once. Bruce Lee was such an inspiration to me as I was growing up, and it's been amazing to see how he has continued to inspire millions of people some 50 years after he died. Really glad you enjoyed the film!

The chubby guy fighting Bruce at the beginning, his name is Sammo Hung, another OG in Martial Arts genre. He was the next best thing after Bruce Lee and unique becaue his weight never stopped him. You should watch some of his movies Millionaire Express AKA Shanghai Express, Enter The Fat Dragon, The Magnificent Butcher, Eastern Condors, My Lucky Stars 1-3, Heart Of A Dragon (very emotional movie), Martial Law series, The Bodyguard, Knockabout, Wheels On Meals, Dragons Forever.
43:20 - Haha, My friends back in High School used to call me "Roper", because when we would free spar, I would go for the nuts a lot as a reflex. It got to the point that they didn't want to spar with me no more, LOL.... at least not without wearing a cup. :D
GAME OF DEATH was the only other Bruce Lee movie completed after Enter the Dragon, but Bruce Lee is not in that entire movie. He shot a few fight scenes in it before doing Enter the Dragon, but died before he could finish working on Game of Death.
Another Bruce Lee film to react to would be Return of the Dragon. The story is IMO a bit thin, but the fight scenes are fantastic. To this day, the ultimate showdown between Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris may still be the best movie fight ever. Warning: it is dubbed so if that bugs you....
The real title for that one is Way Of The Dragon. They release the film after enter the dragon explode in american theaters...yet they were told he died and that was the last movie from him. But the americans were still hungry for bruce lee. They released the previous movie and change the title to "return". A title that didnt have any connection with the movie plot. I really like the second movie. Fist Of Fury. Its a very low budget production. But the fight scenes are awesome. The fight scene in fist of fury would topped enter the ragon if it have the same budget for sure. But the best boss fight will always be bruce vs chuck. Hands down

so what Jackie Chan got his neck broken its just a movie It's not worse then what happened to Jim Kelly and we all know what happened to him like I said it just a movie I'm a big fan of Jackie Chan He's cool to just like Bruce Lee matter of fact I'm a big fan of both of them they both are awesome dudes ✊️👊
Back in the day, directors of Bruce's movies, informed Bruce to slow down his actions because he so fast. Because of camera equipment were not advanced enough like they are now. Camera filmed 24 frames per second back then as current technology are fast frame per second.
African American actor was Jim Kelly (1946-2013), and he was martial artist plus an athlete. He starred in 70's genre of movies called "Blaxploitation" meaning exploitation of African Americans, but it influenced many iconic African American filmmakers such as Spike Lee and John Singleton.
A lot of people wrongly believe Bloodsport was the first MMA film; it was actually Enter the Dragon. EtD 🐉 inspired Bloodsport, the Karate Kid 🥋 AND Mortal Kombat.
My favourite other Bruce Lee-starring film besides this is _The Way of the Dragon_ (1972). It was the first Hong Kong film to be shot in Europe (in this instance, Rome, Italy - although interiors and certain other bits were shot in the Golden Harvest studios back in Hong Kong), and was the first - and only - film that Bruce directed. This is the film that has the much-talked-about fight between Bruce Lee and then-karate champion Chuck Norris. This fight is considered to be amongst the greatest movie fights ever.
@@marcusfridh8489 The actual fight between Lee and Norris was shot back in Golden Harvest on a soundstage made to look like part of the Colosseum, but the bits before and after that were shot at the actual Colosseum.
He started his second directorial position but it was postponed to focus on the bigger hollywood project Enter The Dragon. If he didnt die....he surely direct all his upcoming movies
Bruce Lee was basically responsible for mainstreaming martial arts in western movies and television, but because of his iconic status a lot of people mistakenly assume that he is one of the greatest martial artists of all time, the only way that could be measured is in head to head fighting between fellow martial artists which Mr Lee never took parts in
Classic. I still remember my older brothers letting me hang out with them and their friends and watch this movie. Lots of fun memories watching this for the first time
All the yells and screams as he does for a dubbed in he never did this in the movie for some reason they added up in there just because he normally doesn't do that when he fights and also the data slow down the camera because it's too fast
Bolo Yeung Began his Kung Fu training at 10 years old. He held the Mr. Hong Kong bodybuilding title for 10 years. Bolo met Bruce Lee when they were filming, of all things, a Winston cigarette commercial. Winston had become a sponsor for the martial arts event.
45:05 - Bruce Lee was an obsessive trainer. He had like less than 3 percent body fat on him at any time, and so he always looked extremely ripped, and like he was "always flexing", LOL. :D
One of the greatest martial arts films ever made was "The Prodigal Son" (1981), starring Sammo Hung, Biao Yuen, and Ching-Ying Lam. It's a Wing Chun based movie, and the fight choreography is off the meter, and to perfection. And the story is really good too.
No that was not Cung Lee it was martial arts and movies legend, Bolo Yeng. The person who fought against Bruce Lee during opening of this film is Sammo Hung another absolute legendary person, filmmaker, stuntman, martial artist, actor, stunt coordinator, stunt/fights choreographer. He did work a lot with Jackie Chan during 70s and 80s and early 90s, they did a lot of films together, some of them Sammo Hung directed, and choreographed fights, stunts and action. The best films Sammo and Jackie did together were Wheels on Meals, Dragons Forever, My Lucky Stars, Project A, Heart of the Dragon. I highly recommend you to watch any of them, if you like pirates theme, try Project A with Jackie and Sammo, you wont be disappointed (all what you will see there was for real, no cgi, real stunts and almost full contact fights) 😎
It actually was Chong Li - the character of the movie Bloodsport played by Bolo Yeung, this lady had watched Bloodsport in one of her earlier videos and recognized him
@@spectralsymphony I thought she said it Cung Lee, my mistake. As for that character Bolo played in Bloodsport, yeah of cource it is nice reference for sure)
Bruce Lee could punch in 0.3 of a second. Sometimes they had to slow down the film footage because the film cameras could not capture Bruce's moves at normal speed. Bruce was remarkably FAST! By the time a martial artist had begun to start a kick or a punch, Bruce had already blocked it. Bruce developed his own style (sometimes called the style of having no style) of Jeet Kune Do (The Way of The Intercepting Fist) taking the best of many different styles, which was probably the first form of mixed martial arts. On the set of Enter The Dragon one extra challenged Bruce because he thought he was faking it. Bruce soon showed him that he was no fake. Also there were people who turned up and tapped their foot on the ground three times in front of Bruce. This was a challenge to fight. Bruce took them out back and fought them. Sammo Hung, the fat guy in the start sequence tournament, was trained at the Hong Kong Opera along with Jackie Chan, who also appeared in Enter the Dragon. Do not let Sammo's bodily appearance fool you. Sammo is an exceptionally fast and flexible martial artist too, and Bruce Lee was his hero (just watch Enter The Fat Dragon). He asked Bruce to show him his kicking to see how fast he was. Bruce gave a head kick so fast that Sammo had not even begun to respond when Bruce's foot was at the side of his head. He said to Bruce, 'You're FAST!!' Sammo and Jackie are great guys, just like Bruce. In Enter The Dragon Jackie Chan was a stunt artist. In the guards fight scene Jackie unfortunately was hit with a staff by Bruce. When they cut the filming, Bruce ran straight over to Jackie asking if he was alright and apologized. Jackie took the attitude that things like this happened to stunt men, and it was no big deal. But he laid it on thick because he could not believe it. He was with Bruce Lee. Bruce was Jackie's hero too! What is more, Bruce did not forget Jackie, gave him some good fighting tips, and some good well paid parts. One day in Hong Kong Jackie spotted Bruce. He shouted over, 'hey Bruce' and Bruce asked Jackie where he was going. Jackie told Bruce that he was going bowling, so Bruce tagged along. Jackie said that all the guys in the bowling alley could not believe it. They asked, 'Is that really Bruce Lee?' and Jackie responded, 'Yes. Don't you know he is my good friend.' What great guys.
The style and the gloves in the opening scene are called Kenpo. Film cameras, unable to catch some of the punches and kicks, had to be shown in slow motion, and Bruce was asked to slow down.
If you haven't seen them yet: The Raid: Redemption, The Raid 2 and the IP Man. Three incredible martial arts movies. Then anything by Jackie Chan and Jet Li and your set for martial arts movies for a long time.
Great movie 🎥 50 years. 🎂 The late Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco 🌉 10 years after Clint Eastwood. Both are the most popular San Francisco native actors of all time. I was born there many years later. 😃 Chow Yun Fat is the 1st fighter vs Bruce Lee. The late John Saxon later co-starred in many of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies 🎥. RIP John Saxon, last year, Bruce Lee, 50 years on 20 July 2023, his son Brandon Lee, 30 years during The Crow 😢 . Bolo Yeung, who is the fighter against John Saxon, later co-starred in Bloodsport. Jackie Chan was in the prison scene. Suggested reviews of movie 🎥 1 Game of Death starring Bruce Lee and Kareem Abdul-Jabaar 2 The Crow starring the late Brandon Lee. 3 The Deadpool starring Clint Eastwood.
The Shaolin are trained from childhood to adult hood. The torture these students endure is beyond belief! Look it up. They are trained to be invincible. No pain is real to them for they have endured far worse in training. A punch or kick to the body is nothing to them. They are literally numb to pain. Their nerves are all dead. They are fighting machines!
One of my favorite martial arts movies. Sadly, Bruce Lee died before this movie premiered, but the legacy he left behind will live forever. this is also one of the only times where you can hear his accent. Most of the others, he's overdubbed by someone who doesn't have one.
39:02 - Did you know this guy grabbing Bruce in this shot was a young, Jackie Chan? Jackie tells stories about his working with Bruce on this film in interviews. The shot all happens so fast, but if you pause it just right, you can see Jackie's face. :)
This was the 4th and final movie Bruce Lee completed and the only movie where he actually spoke English in his own voice. Sammo Hung was guy Bruce Lee sparred against in the opening scene. That was a stunt double who did the flip and handspring not Bruce.
What I heard about Bruce Lee's speed is that he would do his moves so fast, the directors would often tell him to slow it down if he can, so that their cameras could catch a clear image instead of a blur. That's how fast he is in real life.
You mentioned Bruce wearing blue, and interestingly enough when ninja were operating at night, they'd wear darker blue to blend better with the foliage under a moonlit sky. Also, Bruce Lee came up with his own system. He called it Jeet Kune Do. His concept was to curate a system around the practitioner and not to curate a practitioner around the system. His philosophy was that every person is different, and therefore every individual is better suited to certain syles over others. Furthermore he emphasized in learning and practicing what best works for the individual. All of it was rather ahead of his time. Oh, and for his own personal style, he took up a few styles. His base was Wing Chun, with some boxing, a little Judo, and he took a few kicking techniques from Tae Kwon Do/Tang Soo Do, and I guess it depends on who you ask which. And even Dan Inosanto(Bruce's closest student) said that they started practicing some more grappling techniques towards the end of Bruce's life. He also said that Bruce was constantly wanting to evolve the system. He said Bruce told him that Jeet Kune Do will look different every few years.
I love your enthusiastic and excited reactions to Bruce Lee's fighting skills and the movie. You are a pleasure to watch. Not to mention that you're a very beautiful woman. Your husband or boyfriend is indeed a lucky man. Continue reacting so that I may enjoy more of your responses in the future. Take care.
Hey Reema. Loved your reaction and the energy you brought. This was a cult movie embedded in my mind growing up and manifested itself for me to read more about Bruce Lee. Keep making more videos. You are awesome !
i remember when i first saw enter the dragon i was over my aunt house and she had the first video version of enter the dragon i think was the 1986 movie VHS video the black cardboard box movie video you know one that came in early 80s that was the first time i saw this movie it still a very good movie it doesn't matter how many times you watch it it still awesome very good Bruce Lee's movie i love that movie that is my favorite Bruce Lee's movie of all times have fun watching enter the dragon You going to love it ❤🐉👊
Originally everyone walked out at the end of the movie making Bruce Lee sounds aaa woo hilarious... love the way you say oo it's acid... piranha fish..more fun
A very young Jackie chan was one of the extras on the island. The guy Bruce was fighting in the beginning (sammo hung) at the monastery had an American TV show in the 90s that ran for 2 seasons I think - called Martial Law. It was quite good.
Sadly Bruce did not live to see his movie become a big hit. This is more than just a kung fu movie with no plot. It has a back story. The fighting scenes were very realistic and when Bruce kicked O'Hara he flew backwards and the stunt men got injured trying to catch him. This is a good Saturday afternoon movie.
this is the godfather of modern Martial arts movies, It has influenced everything from video games to movies to past and current martial arts stars, there is no chuck norris, there is not JCVD, there is no Jackie Chan, I can go on. speaking of Jackie Chan, was a stuntman in this movie and was the guard that got his neck broken in the underground fight with the guards. this is a masterpiece that I still watch today from time to time.
"Did they speed this up?" No, actually, they had to slow it down. They had to capture more frames per second when filming Bruce Lee, because his movements would be too fast and blurry.
Man I love this movie. The fight scenes in this is still amazing for it time. Bruce Lee is the GOAT. A true legend. But anyway I hope you have a wonderful day. Stay safe, take care and stay amazing Reembok Reacts.
Every time some upstart new ingenue claims to be " the first female action star " they're always reminded about Sigourney Weaver. I always want to say " tell that to Angela Mao"
Thankfully, Lee was able to actually sneak in a few movies at the last 1.5 year of his life. Prior to that...there are zero movies, he was simply a veteran at live combat. In live situations he had fought; Black Belts, Pro Fighters, Ex military, Champions, 3rd degree Masters, Rival Martial Artists, and opponents that outweighed him by 100 pounds. His battle experience started as a young boy and lead all through out his teens + adulthood. The few movies he DID make were only at the last 1.5 years of his life which was a brief opportunity for him to report his entire life experiences and give insight into live combat. He only made 3 little movies plus One Hollywood film, a very small body of films but we're lucky he at least made them for a year and a half just before he died to show us his insights on his life of hard combat. Sports Illustrated has ranked Bruce Lee in the Top 50 Greatest Athletes of All Time. as he was able to raise unbelievable weights that pro weight lifters could not.
In a lot of Bruce Lee film performances the film had to be slowed down so they could see his moves especially when filming his Green Hornet 1960s American TV show ✌️❤️
Think it’s funny when she says “young Bruce Lee”. It was almost literally as old as he was going to get. Like, three months younger than he was ever gonna get.
The fight scene at the start of the movie was last scene to be shot, it would also be Bruce's last ever time on a movie set. Bruce Lee died 2 months later.
Bruce Lee was the OG Martial Arts Star, at least as far as the West is concerned. It was just a Hong Kong thing before then. Bruce was VERY special. He's arguably the best of all time, and he died in 1973. He started with the same Wing Chun that most other movie martial artists in Hong Kong. It's the Chinese self defence martial art. It was developed by a woman, to defend against bigger men. Bruce was able somehow to blend two forms of Wing Chun. Usually you'd have to compromise, speed over strength, or strength over speed. He was able to be BOTH at once. He knew what he wanted to do with his life, from an early age, and was VERY determined to constantly improve. He only started with Wing Chun. He added more and more and more, to constantly refine and improve, until he had his own formless Jeet Kun Do. This is what you're seeing in this movie. To answer your question, yes, he most definitely was that fast. He had to slow down, so the cameras could properly capture him. If you want a couple of suggestions for double features (see how I got four movies in there?) The Raid, and The Raid 2 from Indonesia by Gareth Edwards has OUTSTANDING martial arts from all involved. The story is amazing too. Be prepared though, because it's very brutal. Another curious double feature is Fist Of Fury, from 1971, starring Bruce Lee, followed by The Legend Of The Fist: Return Of Chen Zhen, from 2010, starring Donnie Yen. Chen Zhen is the character Bruce Lee plays in the first movie. It's Donnie Yen playing as Bruce Lee. The historical backdrop is the Japanese occupation of China. The music is PHENOMENAL, and it turns into a Marvel Arts movie. An odd thing I picked up with this movie, is that Han seems to prefer the white Karate Gi as the uniform of his martial arts army. They're also practicing what looks like Karate to me. All of that is Japanese. Han, and Lee are members of the Shaolin Temple. The Shaolin are CHINESE, not Japanese. Lee's outfit is a traditional Chinese Gi. Han really should have been written as being from some OTHER school, instead of the Shaolin.

Jackie Chan is the one who runs up behind Bruce Lee at the 39:03 mark of her reaction. Bruce Lee maneuvers out of it and snaps his neck.

That was one thing one of the stunt guys said years later - when Bruce Lee hit you you stayed hit for DAYS.

so what Jackie Chan got his neck broken its just a movie It's not worse then what happened to Jim Kelly and we all know what happened to him like I said it just a movie I'm a big fan of Jackie Chan He's cool to just like Bruce Lee matter of fact I'm a big fan of both of them they both are awesome dudes ✊️👊
Back in the day, directors of Bruce's movies, informed Bruce to slow down his actions because he so fast. Because of camera equipment were not advanced enough like they are now. Camera filmed 24 frames per second back then as current technology are fast frame per second.
African American actor was Jim Kelly (1946-2013), and he was martial artist plus an athlete. He starred in 70's genre of movies called "Blaxploitation" meaning exploitation of African Americans, but it influenced many iconic African American filmmakers such as Spike Lee and John Singleton.
This was like Star Wars for martial arts. We had never seen ANYTHING like this before. Every kid wanted to be like Bruce Lee.
Bruce had a punch 500th of a sec 😳and Sammo was fast as hell for his size.
A lot of people wrongly believe Bloodsport was the first MMA film; it was actually Enter the Dragon. EtD 🐉 inspired Bloodsport, the Karate Kid 🥋 AND Mortal Kombat.
39:02 - That guard who is about to have a very bad day is a 19-year old kid named Jackie Chan.
My favourite other Bruce Lee-starring film besides this is _The Way of the Dragon_ (1972). It was the first Hong Kong film to be shot in Europe (in this instance, Rome, Italy - although interiors and certain other bits were shot in the Golden Harvest studios back in Hong Kong), and was the first - and only - film that Bruce directed.
This is the film that has the much-talked-about fight between Bruce Lee and then-karate champion Chuck Norris. This fight is considered to be amongst the greatest movie fights ever.
In the flavian amphitheater, aka coloseum of Rome
@@marcusfridh8489 The actual fight between Lee and Norris was shot back in Golden Harvest on a soundstage made to look like part of the Colosseum, but the bits before and after that were shot at the actual Colosseum.
I like that movie a lot too.
He started his second directorial position but it was postponed to focus on the bigger hollywood project Enter The Dragon. If he didnt die....he surely direct all his upcoming movies
Rip Jim Kelly and Bruce Lee
And John Saxon
This channel popped up in my feed the other day, and I am glad it did. I enjoy your videos very much.
Bruce Lee was basically responsible for mainstreaming martial arts in western movies and television, but because of his iconic status a lot of people mistakenly assume that he is one of the greatest martial artists of all time, the only way that could be measured is in head to head fighting between fellow martial artists which Mr Lee never took parts in
Classic. I still remember my older brothers letting me hang out with them and their friends and watch this movie. Lots of fun memories watching this for the first time
All the yells and screams as he does for a dubbed in he never did this in the movie for some reason they added up in there just because he normally doesn't do that when he fights and also the data slow down the camera because it's too fast
Bolo Yeung Began his Kung Fu training at 10 years old. He held the Mr. Hong Kong bodybuilding title for 10 years. Bolo met Bruce Lee when they were filming, of all things, a Winston cigarette commercial. Winston had become a sponsor for the martial arts event.
This movie is coming back to theaters on Sunday for its 50th anniversary! Definitely going to check it out in the theater
Hope you have a great time! I got to see Enter The Dragon on the big screen in 2012, and I had a ball watching it.
Loved your reaction video!! Imagine seeing this in a packed SRO movie theater in 1973!!
45:05 - Bruce Lee was an obsessive trainer. He had like less than 3 percent body fat on him at any time, and so he always looked extremely ripped, and like he was "always flexing", LOL. :D
One of the greatest martial arts films ever made was "The Prodigal Son" (1981), starring Sammo Hung, Biao Yuen, and Ching-Ying Lam. It's a Wing Chun based movie, and the fight choreography is off the meter, and to perfection. And the story is really good too.
No that was not Cung Lee it was martial arts and movies legend, Bolo Yeng. The person who fought against Bruce Lee during opening of this film is Sammo Hung another absolute legendary person, filmmaker, stuntman, martial artist, actor, stunt coordinator, stunt/fights choreographer. He did work a lot with Jackie Chan during 70s and 80s and early 90s, they did a lot of films together, some of them Sammo Hung directed, and choreographed fights, stunts and action.
The best films Sammo and Jackie did together were Wheels on Meals, Dragons Forever, My Lucky Stars, Project A, Heart of the Dragon. I highly recommend you to watch any of them, if you like pirates theme, try Project A with Jackie and Sammo, you wont be disappointed (all what you will see there was for real, no cgi, real stunts and almost full contact fights) 😎
It actually was Chong Li - the character of the movie Bloodsport played by Bolo Yeung, this lady had watched Bloodsport in one of her earlier videos and recognized him
@@spectralsymphony I thought she said it Cung Lee, my mistake. As for that character Bolo played in Bloodsport, yeah of cource it is nice reference for sure)
Bruce Lee could punch in 0.3 of a second. Sometimes they had to slow down the film footage because the film cameras could not capture Bruce's moves at normal speed. Bruce was remarkably FAST! By the time a martial artist had begun to start a kick or a punch, Bruce had already blocked it. Bruce developed his own style (sometimes called the style of having no style) of Jeet Kune Do (The Way of The Intercepting Fist) taking the best of many different styles, which was probably the first form of mixed martial arts. On the set of Enter The Dragon one extra challenged Bruce because he thought he was faking it. Bruce soon showed him that he was no fake. Also there were people who turned up and tapped their foot on the ground three times in front of Bruce. This was a challenge to fight. Bruce took them out back and fought them.
Sammo Hung, the fat guy in the start sequence tournament, was trained at the Hong Kong Opera along with Jackie Chan, who also appeared in Enter the Dragon. Do not let Sammo's bodily appearance fool you. Sammo is an exceptionally fast and flexible martial artist too, and Bruce Lee was his hero (just watch Enter The Fat Dragon). He asked Bruce to show him his kicking to see how fast he was. Bruce gave a head kick so fast that Sammo had not even begun to respond when Bruce's foot was at the side of his head. He said to Bruce, 'You're FAST!!'
Sammo and Jackie are great guys, just like Bruce. In Enter The Dragon Jackie Chan was a stunt artist. In the guards fight scene Jackie unfortunately was hit with a staff by Bruce. When they cut the filming, Bruce ran straight over to Jackie asking if he was alright and apologized. Jackie took the attitude that things like this happened to stunt men, and it was no big deal. But he laid it on thick because he could not believe it. He was with Bruce Lee. Bruce was Jackie's hero too! What is more, Bruce did not forget Jackie, gave him some good fighting tips, and some good well paid parts.
One day in Hong Kong Jackie spotted Bruce. He shouted over, 'hey Bruce' and Bruce asked Jackie where he was going. Jackie told Bruce that he was going bowling, so Bruce tagged along. Jackie said that all the guys in the bowling alley could not believe it. They asked, 'Is that really Bruce Lee?' and Jackie responded, 'Yes. Don't you know he is my good friend.' What great guys.
It's really 70's but it's so awesome. Side characters get to shine and the script is simple and solid and Lalo Schfirin music is great.
Kien Shih (Han) didn't speak English, so his lines were dubbed in by Keye Luke, who played in Kung Fu and the Gremlins series.
The style and the gloves in the opening scene are called Kenpo. Film cameras, unable to catch some of the punches and kicks, had to be shown in slow motion, and Bruce was asked to slow down.
Greatest martial arts movie of all time!!!!
If you haven't seen them yet: The Raid: Redemption, The Raid 2 and the IP Man. Three incredible martial arts movies.
Then anything by Jackie Chan and Jet Li and your set for martial arts movies for a long time.
Great movie 🎥 50 years. 🎂
The late Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco 🌉 10 years after Clint Eastwood. Both are the most popular San Francisco native actors of all time.
I was born there many years later. 😃
Chow Yun Fat is the 1st fighter vs Bruce Lee.
The late John Saxon later co-starred in many of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies 🎥.
RIP John Saxon, last year, Bruce Lee, 50 years on 20 July 2023, his son Brandon Lee, 30 years during The Crow 😢 .
Bolo Yeung, who is the fighter against John Saxon, later co-starred in Bloodsport.
Jackie Chan was in the prison scene.
Suggested reviews of movie 🎥 1 Game of Death starring Bruce Lee and Kareem Abdul-Jabaar 2 The Crow starring the late Brandon Lee. 3 The Deadpool starring Clint Eastwood.
Not only was Bruce Lee that fast, they actually had to slow the footage down because they couldn't see his techniques!
You are correct...Yang Tze ( Bolo) at the time had a 2nd degree black or nidan in Shotokan Karate. He's a very accomplished martial artist.
The Shaolin are trained from childhood to adult hood. The torture these students endure is beyond belief! Look it up. They are trained to be invincible. No pain is real to them for they have endured far worse in training. A punch or kick to the body is nothing to them. They are literally numb to pain. Their nerves are all dead. They are fighting machines!
Great reaction. At 39.05, when they zoom in on Bruce snapping that guys neck, that’s Jackie Chan :)
One of my favorite martial arts movies. Sadly, Bruce Lee died before this movie premiered, but the legacy he left behind will live forever. this is also one of the only times where you can hear his accent. Most of the others, he's overdubbed by someone who doesn't have one.
What you've written is an impossibility. Everyone who speaks has an accent.
If you talk then you have an accent.
@@mikecombe7130I meant that in any of the other movies he did, his voice was dubbed over by a strictly English-speaking actor.
39:02 - Did you know this guy grabbing Bruce in this shot was a young, Jackie Chan? Jackie tells stories about his working with Bruce on this film in interviews. The shot all happens so fast, but if you pause it just right, you can see Jackie's face. :)
This was the 4th and final movie Bruce Lee completed and the only movie where he actually spoke English in his own voice. Sammo Hung was guy Bruce Lee sparred against in the opening scene. That was a stunt double who did the flip and handspring not Bruce.
What I heard about Bruce Lee's speed is that he would do his moves so fast, the directors would often tell him to slow it down if he can, so that their cameras could catch a clear image instead of a blur. That's how fast he is in real life.
That's exactly the fact of which many people around the world are still aware off but you got it buddy 👍🧐
You mentioned Bruce wearing blue, and interestingly enough when ninja were operating at night, they'd wear darker blue to blend better with the foliage under a moonlit sky. Also, Bruce Lee came up with his own system. He called it Jeet Kune Do. His concept was to curate a system around the practitioner and not to curate a practitioner around the system. His philosophy was that every person is different, and therefore every individual is better suited to certain syles over others. Furthermore he emphasized in learning and practicing what best works for the individual. All of it was rather ahead of his time. Oh, and for his own personal style, he took up a few styles. His base was Wing Chun, with some boxing, a little Judo, and he took a few kicking techniques from Tae Kwon Do/Tang Soo Do, and I guess it depends on who you ask which. And even Dan Inosanto(Bruce's closest student) said that they started practicing some more grappling techniques towards the end of Bruce's life. He also said that Bruce was constantly wanting to evolve the system. He said Bruce told him that Jeet Kune Do will look different every few years.
My favorite Bruce Lee
You have to react to "The Way of the Dragon"! The fight scene with Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris is still one of the best fight scenes ever!!
This is a great movie reaction🐉
I love your enthusiastic and excited reactions to Bruce Lee's fighting skills and the movie. You are a pleasure to watch. Not to mention that you're a very beautiful woman. Your husband or boyfriend is indeed a lucky man. Continue reacting so that I may enjoy more of your responses in the future. Take care.
Young Bruce Lee YEAH Bruce Lee didn't get old he is part of the 27 club!
Hey Reema. Loved your reaction and the energy you brought. This was a cult movie embedded in my mind growing up and manifested itself for me to read more about Bruce Lee. Keep making more videos. You are awesome !
Also on a side note Bruce Lee was the founder of his own style Jeet Kune Do
22:53 "If you don't see anything you like...?" took me a long time to truly understand what she meant by that
i remember when i first saw enter the dragon i was over my aunt house and she had the first video version of enter the dragon i think was the 1986 movie VHS video the black cardboard box movie video you know one that came in early 80s that was the first time i saw this movie it still a very good movie it doesn't matter how many times you watch it it still awesome very good Bruce Lee's movie i love that movie that is my favorite Bruce Lee's movie of all times have fun watching enter the dragon You going to love it ❤🐉👊
Originally everyone walked out at the end of the movie making Bruce Lee sounds aaa woo hilarious... love the way you say oo it's acid... piranha fish..more fun
A very young Jackie chan was one of the extras on the island.
The guy Bruce was fighting in the beginning (sammo hung) at the monastery had an American TV show in the 90s that ran for 2 seasons I think - called Martial Law. It was quite good.
Bolo didn't die too easily. Roper kicked him in the right shoulder and broke it, then finished him off with a kick to the face.

Damn I've searched RUclips for way of the dragon for years I never find one lol. Please do that next
Sadly Bruce did not live to see his movie become a big hit. This is more than just a kung fu movie with no plot. It has a back story. The fighting scenes were very realistic and when Bruce kicked O'Hara he flew backwards and the stunt men got injured trying to catch him. This is a good Saturday afternoon movie.
this is the godfather of modern Martial arts movies, It has influenced everything from video games to movies to past and current martial arts stars, there is no chuck norris, there is not JCVD, there is no Jackie Chan, I can go on. speaking of Jackie Chan, was a stuntman in this movie and was the guard that got his neck broken in the underground fight with the guards. this is a masterpiece that I still watch today from time to time.
"Did they speed this up?" No, actually, they had to slow it down. They had to capture more frames per second when filming Bruce Lee, because his movements would be too fast and blurry.
Man I love this movie. The fight scenes in this is still amazing for it time. Bruce Lee is the GOAT. A true legend. But anyway I hope you have a wonderful day. Stay safe, take care and stay amazing Reembok Reacts.
Every time some upstart new ingenue claims to be " the first female action star " they're always reminded about Sigourney Weaver. I always want to say " tell that to Angela Mao"
I used to have a praying mantis as a pet! They are very aggressive in their arm movements. It's also a style of Kung Fu! 🙂
Greatest Martial Arts film ever! Love Bruce Lee! @39.03 That's Jackie Chan, who grabs Lee from behind.
Interesting 🤔 I never noticed Jackie Chan in it,and I love his movies!! Thanks for sharing that information 😉
Для меня Брюс Ли самый великий и лучший мастер боевых исскуств и создатель своего боевого исскуства Джит Кун До!!!
46:27- I love that kick by Bruce Lee you reaction is amazing 😂
Thankfully, Lee was able to actually sneak in a few movies at the last 1.5 year of his life. Prior to that...there are zero movies, he was simply a veteran at live combat. In live situations he had fought; Black Belts, Pro Fighters, Ex military, Champions, 3rd degree Masters, Rival Martial Artists, and opponents that outweighed him by 100 pounds. His battle experience started as a young boy and lead all through out his teens + adulthood. The few movies he DID make were only at the last 1.5 years of his life which was a brief opportunity for him to report his entire life experiences and give insight into live combat. He only made 3 little movies plus One Hollywood film, a very small body of films but we're lucky he at least made them for a year and a half just before he died to show us his insights on his life of hard combat.
Sports Illustrated has ranked Bruce Lee in the Top 50 Greatest Athletes of All Time. as he was able to raise unbelievable weights that pro weight lifters could not.
RIP to the BEAUTIFUL & LOVELY Marlene Clark (Ropers Secretary) who just passed last May of 2023 at the age of 85 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❣️❣️❣️❣️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
In a lot of Bruce Lee film performances the film had to be slowed down so they could see his moves especially when filming his Green Hornet 1960s American TV show ✌️❤️
Are we watching (The Last Dragon) some time soon??
It’s funny you asked if it was sped up somehow, the exact reverse is true. He was a blur on film so they had to use faster cameras and s.ow him down.
Think it’s funny when she says “young Bruce Lee”. It was almost literally as old as he was going to get. Like, three months younger than he was ever gonna get.
The fight scene at the start of the movie was last scene to be shot, it would also be Bruce's last ever time on a movie set. Bruce Lee died 2 months later.
You said: "Lower your eyes to show respect". That's submission, not respect. Reacting someone by bowing your head, sometimes torso, but never eyes. ❤
I enjoyed watching that with you. 😎✌
So it was acid...I always wondered as a kid why it was a big deal being dropped into a pool of water heh heh
The book is out by John Little, Wrath of the Dragon, Bruce Lee real fights. This is the author who had approved access to Bruce Lee’s personal notes.
Reembok is a BeaUTY! This is BY FAR the best reaction to this classic movie on YewTube.
The guy Bruce Lee was fighting is his bodyguard Bob Wall. 😊
Roper is a first class traveler. That's why he had all those suitcases.
Bruce Lee's master in this movie is the same actor that trained Van Damme in Bloodsport.
Bruce Lee was the OG Martial Arts Star, at least as far as the West is concerned. It was just a Hong Kong thing before then. Bruce was VERY special. He's arguably the best of all time, and he died in 1973. He started with the same Wing Chun that most other movie martial artists in Hong Kong. It's the Chinese self defence martial art. It was developed by a woman, to defend against bigger men. Bruce was able somehow to blend two forms of Wing Chun. Usually you'd have to compromise, speed over strength, or strength over speed. He was able to be BOTH at once. He knew what he wanted to do with his life, from an early age, and was VERY determined to constantly improve. He only started with Wing Chun. He added more and more and more, to constantly refine and improve, until he had his own formless Jeet Kun Do. This is what you're seeing in this movie. To answer your question, yes, he most definitely was that fast. He had to slow down, so the cameras could properly capture him.
If you want a couple of suggestions for double features (see how I got four movies in there?) The Raid, and The Raid 2 from Indonesia by Gareth Edwards has OUTSTANDING martial arts from all involved. The story is amazing too. Be prepared though, because it's very brutal. Another curious double feature is Fist Of Fury, from 1971, starring Bruce Lee, followed by The Legend Of The Fist: Return Of Chen Zhen, from 2010, starring Donnie Yen. Chen Zhen is the character Bruce Lee plays in the first movie. It's Donnie Yen playing as Bruce Lee. The historical backdrop is the Japanese occupation of China. The music is PHENOMENAL, and it turns into a Marvel Arts movie.
An odd thing I picked up with this movie, is that Han seems to prefer the white Karate Gi as the uniform of his martial arts army. They're also practicing what looks like Karate to me. All of that is Japanese. Han, and Lee are members of the Shaolin Temple. The Shaolin are CHINESE, not Japanese. Lee's outfit is a traditional Chinese Gi. Han really should have been written as being from some OTHER school, instead of the Shaolin.
