Loved the interview, and love Andre... he always keeps it real.
I have always believed that Bruce Lee is one of the most influential humans ... second to none. But never gets the credit he deserves.
I have met several people who knew him , a school friend of his and a guy who met him through Sterling Silliphant...and both said he was phenomenally fast and powerful.
I agree, hear so many people say The Beatles inspired them so much. Being a young teen in 1973, Bruce Lee l think changed my life, l did 2 styles of karate and tae kwon do, though l never reached black belt in any martial art, l consider Bruce Lee my teacher and when sparring my technique is more kung fu than any other, one inch punch, sticky hands with eyes closed. l consider myself even now at 63, l still have speed and can handle myself. R.I.P Bruce Lee
@@terrynitschke5776 ...young teen from 73. Enter the Dragon poster in every wall. A pair of nunchakus made out of your mother's broomstick. The theater lobby and the washroom was social media. Great time to be alive.
@James Deen true so was Elvis… still did not take away why he became one…
Really map out the questions and get him back for Part 2. Andre Morgan is it.
35:38, Jesus, there has never been a movie star to be as magnetic, charismatic and INTENSE in his poses . NOBODY EVER . The man was just a freak of nature . Arnold was great . Stallone was great . JCVD, at an extent was great . Eastwood was great . Bronson and McQueen were great . But, Lee was at a level nobody touched .
Well said
As incredible as Bruce was I understand how difficult it would be to deal with him at times. He’s like an ever ready battery that just keeps on kicking. But when one realizes that he’s not trying to put one over you but he’s for real. Very few people we meet have their soul flowing through them like he did so we’re not use to it. You are very impressive with how honest you are sir. How I see the movie is Bruce says very little compared to his other films and the quality of the look and the music and acting were of a much higher quality then his others by far. So it came across as this man is the master. Where he mostly observes and when he fights he’s in another realm. As if all these guys are no problem but he’s trying to actually hold back so he doesn’t kill them.
Lots of treasured moments in history from the Bruce Lee Era and he presents this so nicely.
Yes Bruce Lee influenced more people than any other sportsman, martial artist, movie action star who has ever lived.
I love how Andre respected and cherish his time with Bruce and didn’t avoid or waste time by telling the story of the extra on the set of ETD that has been told before. Andre Morgan is a class act. 👍🏻
Totally agree 👍
I have to say Mr. Willow, you are a great interviewer. I saw Bruce Lee in the Green Hornet before he was 'Bruce Lee'. Then I saw him in 'Longstreet'. He has had a significant impact on my life (now 61). So to see your interviews with Bob Wall (RIP) and now Andre Morgan, are like when I discovered the 'Lost Interview' with Pierre Burton. This is quite a treasure as a Bruce Lee fan and martial artist. Your questions allow the interviewees to speak and share, and since you don't gush over them, you pull real answers that let us in on the interviewees and their thoughts and feelings as well as their Bruce Lee insights. Believe me, you have a gift. Please don't stop and I thank you immensely!
Thank you so so much for the kind words, this really made my day. I will always cherish these interviews in my heart
This was interesting to watch. Mr. Morgan was in the right place at the right time many times historically. Photos with Lee in key production moments , Lee's funeral etc. He was all over the place. I wish he had expounded on other elephants in the history room like Lee's stormy relationship with Lo Wei, the media's treatment of him, and the corrosion of he and Chow's relationship when Enter the Dragon almost didn't happen. And moreover, he was with Lee on the last day of his life. He knows things Chow and many others took to the grave. You still can hear producer mode damage control in some of his narrative.
Lo Wei was before he even met Bruce ..
@@mickboswell3484 Lo Wei was what before he even met Bruce?
Seriously Andre, write a book about your Golden Harvest years (and beyond). I'll be the first to pre-order.
I totally agree!
Never heard of this silent guy
Any info about Bruce is out there already, these guys were getting rich until Shannon blocked them.
@@tonymontana4284 Matthew Polly unearthed a lot of stuff that the Lee Estate didn't like. I'm sure there's more.
Thank you so much! Mr. Morgan has had such a unique career, he's been a fly on the wall eye witness to Hong Kong film-making history like no other American ever has been. Please, Mr. Morgan, write your memoirs on your life in the movie business, your perspective, your experiences, the people you worked with, would be fascinating reading. Oh, and, Mr. Willow, thanks, and where'd you get that awesome Enter The Dragon poster, I've never seen that one, very cool!
That foot print story and the yellow track suit was incredible, yet so realistic and simple!! 👍👍👍
Why wasn't Morgan on the bio circuit telling it like it was from the beginning? This man was THE shadow. He was Chow's logistical clean up man with the black bag. And believe me, that Chow was dirty, man. He knew where the strings were in the puppet shows and where the bodies were buried when damage needed control. The things he witnessed on set. All the stuff I ever read my whole childhood, this was the guy in the box seat, first row, making things happen. He should be touring with the things he knows. The things he made go away. When Lee went after Lo Wei in the screening room and Wei called the police, Andre broke it up and hid the knife! When Lee's casket was damaged en route to Seattle from Hong Kong, he was the one who had the casket replaced for the Seattle funeral. He oversaw the Hong Kong funeral and how the body was prepared which he admitted was a botched job. Andre also knew everything that went on July 20th 1973. Clear from being in the office with Lee before he went to see Betty to the coroner's inquest months later. If this man wrote a book on his career at Golden Harvest, it would blow the roof off of every documentary made since the seventies. This interview was fine but a bit sanitized and I wish the interviewer had done more digging in his research to really flush out the texture of Morgan's experience.
Totally agree, Morgan spent almost 2 years with Bruce, and saw too many things!!
@@confuxio2 Agreed. Ive wanted to hear more from him for many years. Now, here he is. Hope he spills some beans.
@@spookyencounters9392 Here here. He was absent from the documentary wave in the seventies. He was with Lee before he left to see Betty the day he passed. Smart lieutenant , that man. Morgan appeared as only a spectator. Chow's face in the crowd. But always, he...was...there.
Texture of Morgan’s experience. Interesting wording.
I wonder why he’s been so quiet and not said or written a book
I just watched this 2 days ago with my 3 year old who is in TWD and now he can't get enough of Bruce...how can you. The Netflix series is very interesting.
This is pure gold, thanks.
These are the things I love finding on youtube. Amazing. Thank you for this.
I remember seeing this guy on the 1974 documentary Kung Fu Killers. What a fascinating gentlemen. I could listen to him for hours.
Right? I couldn't edit at all, love every second of this...pure knowledge!
Write a book Mr.Andre Morgan of the King of Martial Arts 🐉😃✌️🙏
WOW! What a brilliant man...ANDRE MORGAN! Much wisdom was shared during this interview! Thank you Bruce Willow!
Well i never met Lee but i met a very talented student of Lee!!-----wow ha ha well this guy was same size and weight of lee and awesome to watch, and he told me he wouldnt have been able to get near lee in a real fight,--nice guy who could do the one inch punch!
Thank you Mr. Morgan. I would love to read one day a book with your memories. You were in the right place.
Hi Bruce keep sharing what you love . I'm staying very active .
this is a gem always wanted to know what Mr morgan sounded like back in 73 I thought he was British, but he is American,,,,,,,,,beautiful
That's an awesome story about the yellow jump suit. Told by someone who was actually there! Imagine being a young intern going to pickup Bruce Lee, Bob Wall and Chuck Norris at the airport.
Just terrific!
Mr. Morgan is Gold! So much knowledge, experience and wisdom...
This was awesome! Thank you so much!
Great interview.
GREAT interview!
Great interview!
thanks fellas, that was phenomenal.
Great channel , this channel should have waaaaay more views . Keep up the great work
Well done, a gem ✌🏽
Excellent interview!!!
Very insightful interview about my favorite Hong Movie heroes especially Bruce Lee.
What a great interview a true gentleman. He worked with the best of the best. So Bruce is the real deal.
It really was a master class. Thanks for this. Loved the Bob Wall one as well.
Paul Heller gives a good description of Bob Wall
great information wished I had met him years go when I was in Hollywood, I have learned so much from Mr morgan watching this podcast
God damn !! He met the dragon!! I cannot miss this!!
Said the same thing!
He has worked with him.
The intro is dope very classic 80s or early 90s very creative. 👌 👏 👍
That intro is a killer !
Great interview. Love the shirt man.
He was pivotal in The man from hong kong, 1975, where he played also an henchmen kicked by jimmy wang yu.
obrigado my new friend this was truly enjoyable
Thanx for this illuminating video
Andre is amazing, right?
You need to interview linda and shannon lee
Father Lewis from, "When Tae Kwon-Do Strikes," with Angela Mao. Also the guy on the ladder from the film, "Man From Hong Kong," with Jimmy Wang Yu.
That is baddest poster of enter the dragon! I have ever seen 😳!!
Excellent! Thank you🙏. New Subscriber.
Amazing interview. Thank you Andre. And thank you Bruce.
To work with Bruce you had to become like water!... and it should be regarded as an honor to have been a part of this legend's life!
For sure it must have been amazing
love the rock behind him
Good job Willow, I placed it on my side.
Thank you 🔥🙏
Great interview. I kind wish for his commend on that film which paints Bruce cocky in Hollywood. Also wish you let him speak Chinese a bit. He did speak one word when he picked up the phone said "Wai".
What a great f**iing great interview excuse my French , yes this is a workshop!!!!!!
I need to watch this interview a few times there are so many gems in this interview.
Thank you 🙏🏿
Sam
Well, I don't like this expression. "excuse my french". It' s racist. I could say "merde, putain fait chier", excuse my English.
@@bertrandderegnaucourt8265 peace man it’s all good stay blessed.
Pardon my French, or excuse my French, is an apology for the use of profanity; the expression dates from 1895. Pardon is derived from the old French pardoner meaning, “to grant, forgive.”
The phrase was originally used in England when someone used a French word when speaking to a person who may not have understood French. Due to the history of conflict between France and England, 'pardon my French' came to be a dig against the French.
Again I’m not French or English I’m a Yank If your French and I offended you mate my apologies 😀
Cheers from Australia
Poppa Sam
And just for laughs putain fait chier in French even is a curse word sounds great to my ears .
@@NYCSamlifeabroad No problem, I m not French anyway, but I do speak french fluently . I am Algerian.
@@bertrandderegnaucourt8265 great ‘ I use to live in Norway I hav some great friends from Algeria .😀🙏🏾 had some great laughs with them many moons ago.
Without Bruce ETD wouldn't exist or work nothing compares to him
Muitos tentaram mais ele é o mestre
It Marius from Diablo 2!
I always assumed that the yellow track suit was 1/ it was unique color 2/ it was the color of Chinese emperor's gold also the color of Heav⭐
Wow so the person who bought Lee's yellow jumpsuit from G.O.D. for $100,000 dollars at auction didn't realise that it was one of several yellow jumpsuits ? .
Wish he had just told the story of bruce being challenged on the set of ETD, just exactly what happened fs
Be like WATER, Andre.
Im sure he was present monitoring costs with all the script changes during "Enter". Decades later, before Jim Kelly passed, he never stopped being agitated talking about "Enter". He would always side sep or change the subject. I gather he never really got over how he was treated on the set and how his character was always in some way reduced or tampered with especially the fact that his character was supposed to survive in the end. To see two real martial artists fight side by side , Lee and Kelly, would have been too much for white America to take. I sure would have appreciated Morgan's take on that .
Jim Kelly was shafted in nearly all his films. Barely in Golden Needles, given nothing to do in Three the Hard Way and Take a Hard Ride, and then forced to go make cheapo films like Black Samurai and Death Dimension.
The only film he really 'starred' in was Black Belt Jones, and its great. I think he was just too ahead of his time. America wasn't ready for him.
@@theflyingninja1 Thats a valid point. I didn't notice the collective reduction in those roles. Even with Black Belt Jones which I liked, he had to endure Bob Wall as the fight choreographer. That was strictly Fred Weintraub's doing to keep him on set since he was cast as a thug with couple of lines. Kelly and Wall had the same instructor once--Gordon Doversola, who taught everybody in L. A. at one time. They didn't exactly do bar-b-ques and ball games together but being the film business is so lubricated by false association, they were never tight . Bruce wasn't tight with anyone but he did favor Kelly because he would have been useful had Lee lived.
A lot Jim Kelly's fight scenes in his own movies unfortunately turned out unintentionally funny
How old is this guy, it seems like a lot of people who knew Bruce Lee and were close to him are getting old and dying off. Bob Wall died last year. So who is left? Chuck Norris is still alive and this guy, who else?
Still living; chuck, j chan, s hung, a Mao Ying, bolo to name a few....

Are you bringing Jackie back for cannonball run? Trump never said to drink that! It was only reported that he said that. However bleach disinfectant is actually a treatment that scientists are working on which is why trump made the comment about disinfectants!
The Year Of Skull & Bones: MMA Fighter Victoria Lee Dead At 18 Years Old (CAUSE OF DEATH UNKNOWN???)
I get the feeling listening to him that martial arts including UFC in it's true sense is really a science. And just like it's name an art about who is the more skilled opponent and they should bow out of respect to each other. They should also do that in UFC make it mandatory to touch gloves and bow.if you don't you automatically lose the fight for unprofessional conduct. In this era I don't think being a "badass in pop terms" is cool. Being respectful and humble is what it is. This psychological warfare and dismissing someone's martial arts and not challenging them to a real life fight is soft. I don't really respect that. Im from the old school, if you're tough enough to shame somebody's martial arts you better be willing to back your words in a fight and not come up with a crazy conspiracy to get someone killed or murdered. Martial arts isn't about being evil and devil worship either. I sincerely hope martial arts changes it ways. Social media is the devil. Even worse is seeing a "plant" some bum who has no experience in a particular martial arts style fight with someone who is a popular martial arts style and get soundly beaten, just to prove the popular martial arts style is better, many videos like this pop all over RUclips. lol what kind of elementary school crap is that? I know when someone is a plant and someone is an actual expert martial artist.
World health organisation no jack shit
I wonder if he has anything to do with this whole cocaine story.
what cocaine story?
@@BruceWillow ...check out thr Kung Fu Genius video and yeah..you'll see The Cocaine Letters. Hit me back. Let me know what you think. You'll see my comments.
@@kelvendyson1508 Ok, I will...but, to be honest...I hate those gossip channels that are always trying to get more engagement with new theories on settled subjects from the 70s and what not...and stuff like who would win against who...That's kinda lame to me.
@@BruceWillow ...I totally understand and agree. His channel gives analysis on the history of Kung Fu. He's really a Bruce Lee enthusiast and a practioner... not hyping his channel to you but some of seems damning. But I have a raised eyebrow about all these letters. You'll see my comments there. Just want to know your take. Cheers 🍺🍺
He's right. Trump doesn't know anything about covid.
The Truth ? I was with Wong shun leung who taught limited wing chun to BL and myself in Hong Kong and we knew BL was just an actor .Eddie he was 16- 17 not 13 and thats not true..he was not ip man student because yip man was never a teacher to anyone but more like a symbol so his seniors did and wong shun leung told me he was on and off maybe 1,5 years to pick up some lessons ,, i was in hong kong and with him ,.jet kun was founded by fook yueng in seattle ,bl learned from him and he later stole it and named it as jeet kune do and fook yueng who was a friend of his dad remained silent, linda his widow called his name in a meeting in seattle, where is he where is he .. here he is fook yueng was bruce s teacher and mentor, shannon li con artist erases everything i claim ,she edit wikipedia with buncha lies and made up stories ,she wants to sue anyone whos telling the truth , I know bls lies and game better than anyone in the world and i challenge anyone to face me. bl was also a druggie and we all heard that at that time and he was listed as a druggie by the british crown colony police in Hong Kong..
there is no way an actor can fight an extra in motion picture, its not acceptable by law so please pass that lie ,
