Bruce Lee | Meeting the Legendary Composer of Bruce Lee G.O.D

In this video we sit down with Tomohiro Endo, the legendary Japanese composer of the soundtrack for the movie Bruce Lee G.O.D. Endo-san is a huge Bruce Lee fan, nerd and a jeet kune do dojo full of fun. We talk about his many Bruce Lee music projects, his eye-raising collections, his fascinating story of composing music for the Bruce Lee G.O.D film and a whole lot more. Grab your nunchucks, and get ready for a load of fun.
Bruce Lee is a legend full stop. As a young boy I had my first introduction to Bruce in a crowded movie theater in Portland, Oregon in the late 1970's. My friends and I saw 'Enter the Dragon' at a Bruce Lee film festival and I was blown away. Soon after we were all throwing punches and kicks, belting out blood-curdling 'kiai' screams and making our own nunchucks out of wooden dowels and rope. Legends never die.
Bruce Lee G.O.D is the Japanese production Bruce Lee movie released in 2000 that combines scenes from the incomplete movie Game of Death, recreation scenes of Bruce's life during the filming of Game of Death and interviews with movie staff, colleagues and more. Tomohiro Endo composed the soundtrack for this film. Prior to Endo-san, Joseph Koo was the composer for many Bruce Lee movies including 'The Way of the Dragon', and Lalo Shifrin for the 'Enter the Dragon'. All legends!

👍 Nice one Peter. Great video and you can tell that you are good friends with the banter 😂. ✌️ 💖 🙏 Levent 🦁

This was really cool getting an interview with Endo Tomohiro. But it needs to be said that Endo did the music for the first version of Bruce Lee In G.O.D. For anyone who doesn't know, Bruce Lee G.O.D. came in two versions: The 2000 version and the superior 2003 Special Edition version that had much better editing of Bruce Lee's Game of Death footage, better sound design and a completely different music score that was better than the 2000 version (no offense to Endo Tomohiro). The 2003 version also had legendary Hong Kong action star Yuen Biao hosting the movie. Not many people outside of Japan know of the 2003 Special Edition version of Bruce Lee In G.O.D. but they should because it was much better put together than the first version put out in 2000. Too bad both have been long out of print. Thanks for the upload! Maybe you can find the people who were involved with the 2003 version and do a video with them? Thanks again!

What a treat, Peter! An interesting backstory on Endo-san, his fascinating collections and well done on that cake! Slick editing with effects, I like how you dropped in the collection discoveries throughout the interview.

[@suechun8871]

PVG your superhero look is cool...congrats...

[@jason_from_canada]

"As you think, so shall you become" Bruce Lee. Endo-san is a character. It was interesting to hear his thoughts on scoring the music and to learn his process. Well done Peter, a story well told! 👍😎

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Sorry I missed the premier! Got to watch it after, really enjoyed this episode! I love Bruce Lee! Cool Endo-san did the music for it! Such and important part of any T.V. show or movie! Thanks Peter-san! Aloha 😁🤙🏽

[@Tastychronicles]

I freakin' love this PvG. Thank you for interviewing Endo-san. Endo-san is one of the coolest and passionate Bruce Lee fans around. So glad we got to meet him through your KZbin video. I am also a long time Bruce Lee fan. Yes, Bruce Lee is real! I have fond memories growing up as a kid watching all the his movies on weekends with my siblings and getting myself out of make believe fights.

[@ChritsianBucic]

Very interesting topic and interview with Endo-san, a cool encounter👌🏻It reminds my childhood too, as a fan of Bruce Lee's era 😀. Well done Peter! One step more, be like water, for your channel my friend! 😎

[@randolph5401]

Hello Peter, :) my wife and I were just watching NHK World Japan Fukushima Monologue, and we recognised your voice almost immediately. so cool, it was nice for you to be in that video. Wonderful insight into the lives that are still keeping strong amidst large challenges. Keep up that great work.

[@forestsnowfall]

super cool video, PvG. bruce lee was really something else. earlier this year i was going through a pretty bad time and i read a little book about bruce lee's life and philosophies and i think it helped me out. the man was really a genius.

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

Agree Charles! BL is the man! Those words of wisdom...

[@Bad_Karma1968]

PVG great vlog as always ! Your friend has an interesting collection

[@jarihult]

Hi Peter. This is Kohei. You made an awesome video ! Nice edit👍 I'm glad that I could help you out :)

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

Thanks Kohei! And THANK YOU for the awesome translations!!! 😀

[@astroboy3507]

That was good Peter and Endo was nice happy guy very creative too!! P.s go the asics onitsuka!!!!💛😊

[@51941028]

I love how music can set the tone of the movie, enhance the emotions of the moment, advance the plot, provide transitional elements. I'm a huge fan of John Williams and his memorable film scores. This was an interesting look at Tomohiro Endo's work (and shoes and arsenal)! Thanks, PVG.

[@cityhunterpython]

Those Onitsuka Tigers are legendary.

[@Chiapaneco]

Good stuff ! Thanks for sharing

[@briannotbryan3888]

Incredible interview! I would like to buy the CD with the complete Bruce Lee GOD soundtrack, is there any way to get it in digital form at least?

[@user-sk3rr3ch2o]

Very interesting interview PVG .Let me suggest (although it will be hard to book it) an interview from Haruki Murakami He is one that knows a lot about the way society will be shaped in the future Love your barbed humor.

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

THAT would be a great vid. Hmmm... 😗

Like this form better.

[@davide.s.9880]

I looked after watching this for Bruce Lee G.O.D on Amazon in America . OH MY GOD $386.96 on DVD and Region 2 so no play back in America. That is kind of OK at $386.96.

How Do You Feel About Bomberman Being A Mii Brawler Costume?

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

Wasn’t aware of the costume but I imagine he wears it well?

[@jamescreel1644]

Thanks for sharing! BTW, didn’t know that you got the role of a thief in Wonder Woman 1984! Kidding, the dude owes you $ for imitating!

[@Azel247]

Hey Peter! Did you by any chance voice the intro to Arashi's live stream concert on Dec 31?? It sounds like you haha

[@gameofgianpa]

Hi Peter, maybe you will be interested i observed on the NHK REGARDING NEW GTR :- In collaboration with McDonald’s in Japan, a miniature toy car Nissan GT-R NISMO will be available in the “Tomica Happy Set”, a popular McDonald's meal set for children. To promote this, today Nissan and McDonald's held a joint event at Nissan’s headquarters in Yokohama. The Happy Set will be on sale for a limited time in Japan, starting on April 30.
