Enter The Dragon Bruce's Real Voice

Segments of the monk scene from 'Enter The Dragon' originally deleted from the film. This is Bruce Lee's real voice which was dubbed over by John Little in the re-release.Several dialogues are missing and sorry about the ending

[@jungyew]

Actually, that is Roy Chiao's real voice. He grew up near an American military base and as a result, spoke English fluently. I had met him when I was a kid in Chicago and he indeed sounded like an American.

[@AlkadMzu_mayal]

they should have always used his real voice. thanks.

[@cypresspuz]

"There is not opponent" This guy was a freaking Philosopher and i do believe his skill was so developed that he was on a spiritual level.

[@abrahamgonzalez8270]

Yeah. But his toughest opponents were his inner demons. He thought he was high and mighty and better than everyone

@@abrahamgonzalez8270 no he didn’t. Don’t spread misinformation.

[@abrahamgonzalez8270]

@@axelstone3131 Bro. Bruce Lee was super cocky. He was the biggest action star in the world during his time. He thought he can beat everyone up but point is, he had demons in his life like everyone does. I believe his family was marked for death. Look what happened to Brandon. There were even rumors that The Chinese mafia wanted to recruit him and that they killed him.

[@mranderson4580]

@@abrahamgonzalez8270 not true, it is easy to mistake his self actualized confidence for arrogance. If you consider what he said about the illusion about being a "super star" you'll understand that he is too self aware to think he is better than everyone. I believe that his seemingly cocky mannerisms were just a very unique personality honestly expressing itself.

This is Bruce Lees real voice as it clearly matches with all his dialogue in the rest of the film. No one really knows why John Little took it upon himself to dub over the original for the anniversary directors cut. But as pointed out by another post the Criterion collection does give you the choice of the original mono track. A few people have also asked about Roy Chiao and if its his real voice. Yes it is. Roy could speak perfect English and also had a hand in the the films production. Roy had a pilots license and took the director Robert Clouse up in his plane to take shots of "Hans island" to be used in the finished production albeit with some Mattes added in post production.

[@kennymurphy4461]

John told me the studio sound guy wanted to use his voice. He reluctantly did it with Ted Wong bkessing.

[@zaraki888]

Can't believe why they removed this part in the Original movie. We need more wisdom!

[@jacobstevens979]

[@SteCollects]

The voice was never removed, its in the movie.

[@cabijista1]

@@jacobstevens979 The original cinematic release of Enter The Dragon doesn't include this scene at all. It was added on the dvd release.

It was removed from the original run of the movie in the theaters. It was added back many years later on DVD.

Lee: Teacher? Shaolin Abbott: I see your talents have gone beyond the mere physical level. Your skills are now at the point of spiritual insight. I have several questions. What is the highest technique you hope to achieve? Lee: To have no technique. Shaolin Abbott: Very good. What are your thoughts when facing an opponent? Lee: There is no opponent. Shaolin Abbott: And why is that? Lee: Because the word *I* does not exist. Shaolin Abbott: So, Continue... Lee: A good fight should be like a small play, but played seriously. A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come. When the opponent expands, I contract. When he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, I do not hit. It hits all by itself. Shaolin Abbott: Now, you must remember: the enemy has only images and illusions behind which he hides his true motives. Destroy the image and you will break the enemy.

[@heavenhell5909]

This should never had been cut or used as dub from someone else.....it's the sense of the film and the way......love this thank you

Primeira vez que vejo a voz dessa Lenda, totalmente diferente do dublador brasileiro dele

[@EUROFIGHTER14567]

He is my idol

[@euroglime2210]

Comparing the audio dialogues of this vinyl and the official disc release, i've found that the same exact dialogue track is used, but with some static feedback cleaning. Everything from the pitch of each word is identical. Bruce Lee's voice was *not* dubbed whatsoever in ETD.

[@superlex611]

but his voice is not the same

[@superlex611]

***** it is not dubbed

[@euroglime2210]

***** right. it was not dubbed. never go full schizo

[@superlex611]

***** where is the dvd then, that it was dubbed ?

[@superlex611]

***** One of two English-language movies in which Bruce Lee(Enter the Dragon) speaks with his natural voice

The real and complete hero of the universe is a philosopher himself.

[@truthinbottle99]

You are absolutely right! You obviously know the significance of this scene.

[@EpicMars]

@cypresspuz indeed he was on a spiritual level, a great philosopher and martial artist. his art will live forever

[@andriygriffin4782]

Criterion put this back in the mono track for their recent box set release!

[@cruzemissile]

0:59 look at bruce's face when the monk grabs his arm, looks like he wanted to destroy the monk for grabbing him haha :P

[@gutz1981]

This is one of those situations where they may have not gotten the best recording in the dubbing studio and tried to get Bruce to do it over the phone and it did not work. Shame. He says it with way more passion.

[@speedy18ify]

he makes any teacher look like shiiiiiiiiiitT !!!! EVEN TODAY

[@sofoclebeat]

Be water, my friend ! It's awareness ... sort of dynamic meditation as a martial art.

[@TurnOntheBrightLights.]

Legendary.

[@shengchenfan]

It sounds like the speakers at the old drive-in theaters.

[@phambo101]

@IG8E8 That's Roy Chao...Chao was one of Hong Kong's actors from the Shaw Bros. and King Hu Productions who usually played a roles of leadership.

[@Karmoon7]

These teachings are applicable to a lot more than martial arts. To him, martial arts was his way of life, that's why he reached conclusions that are applicable to life in general

[@aradeleon2734]

Una de mis escenas favoritas

[@katobrucelee08]

So glad Criterion restored these takes

[@butterp7]

No, on the re-realeased version of Enter the Dragon which came out in 1998 John Little redubbed Bruce's lines for this scene. But in this sequence here THAT is Bruce's voice.

[@brucleedarai1759]

[@allensagalla1579]

Thankful that my copy of the movie has the real voice of Bruce Lee 🙂

[@williamwest7008]

Not of this scene it doesn't

[@GibranMalikRecordings]

I've been a professional audio engineer for 17 years. The first segment i don't believe is Bruce lee's voice but it's a much better rendition than the voice actor used in the dvd release for this scene. It seems like this recording was done back in the 70's, perhaps planned to be included as an extra scene in a home release version. The last segment at 1:18 however does sound like Bruce lee.

[@300589389]

I believe that that Bruce's dialogue were found after the re-release of the movie in the late 90's and early 2000's.

[@Arch777Angel]

@cypresspuz i think he was born with that spiritual level and then his skills followed.

[@jimbob202019]

when you hear him say IIIIII do not hit the i sounds the same way when hes just about to do his scream sounds off the chain kinda like the same pitch r.i.p bruce lee

[@MaxDemboNo1]

I believe this is Bruce lee's voice because there is another version they used in a release and it is so obviously not lee's voice- you can find it here on KZbin check it out and compare.

[@ilian1001]

@DippersandSmiles this is a really good question. So the original movie was again in chinese?

[@phambo101]

@jungyew Are you sure that's the same Chiao playing the abbott in this scene, not the director Raymond Chao? From what I heard, Roy Chiao was "borrowed" from the King Hu Productions to star guest in ETD. By the way, is Mr. Chiao still alive? Thanks.

[@ps2hacker]

@owenlhere Wasn't the original dialog in Chinese? That's usually why voiceovers are dubbed in. Why can't I find a clip on youtube, of the cgi commercial that took the famous scene of Bruce Lee intimidating a group of thugs with amazing nun-chuck showmanship, but replacing the nun-chucks with a balloon, culminating with a ballon animal? That had to be one of the funniest things I have ever seen, and the statement, the implication that Bruce Lee could intimidate thugs with anything?

[@thysecondbirth]

I can only hear the dubbed voices from Game of Death 2 as I watch this clip 😂

[@KareenLuvMooMoo]

Okay definately Bruce Lee's voice here is the same as in the Warrior's Journey. As well I think this is Bruce Lee's real voice since he has such a strong canto accent, and with both the voice actor of Bruce Lee that was apparently used, they are both non asian. And its extremely hard for a non asian to immitate a canto accent while speaking english. I dont think anyone dubbed him.

@phambo101 I'm sure it's Roy Chiao and his real voice. Funny, I'm watching Bloodsport right now and Roy Chiao is in that movie also and speaking English! BTW, Raymond Chow is a tiny man, so it wasn't him that played the large abbot in ETD.

[@alonzovillarreal4666]

Is this movie available anywhere in the original language ?

[@dragon067]

Bruce Lee did in fact use his real voice for Enter the Dragon, but this rare unused footage is not Bruce's voice. It was dubbed by John Little and it was added to the new anniversary release. John Little is the author of many Bruce Lee books and was able to copy his accent and sounds close. I believe he does receive credit for it.

[@Dad_Brad]

I think any native Hong Kong speaker could have done better than J. Little.

[@theerealaykay47]

This is Bruce lee official voice

[@squatch545]

So why was only Lee's voice dubbed? The monk's (Roy Chiao) voice is in both versions. I don't get it.

[@squatch545]

***** What 70s vinyl album has Lee's voice from this scene on it?

[@rw7269]

Joe Smith my way of Kung fu was the 70 s album.

[@dragon067]

Probably because he only dubbed what they were going to use. They were already over the budget and didn't want to waste more on dubbing something that wasn't going to be used.

[@touvue7754]

How come the 25th anniversary doesnt have his real voice???...

[@phambo101]

Bruce is the only one in his actual voice in this scene because Roy Chao couldn't speak or understand one word of English.

[@LittlePhoenixDragon]

Dubbed normally means dubbing over another language. Bruce Lee is speaking English in the movie. He is not dubbing over Cantonese.

[@Dad_Brad]

John Little. I never heard what happened to him after his falling out with the Lee estate. He was a ghost writer for several of those Bruce Lee books that came out in the 90s. He narrated some Bruce Lee documentary stuff too as well as appeared some interviews. I have no idea if he ever even met Bruce Lee, but he was friends with Linda and he has the original Marcy Circuit Trainer that Bruce owned which he used for weight training in Hong Kong while filming Enter the Dragon. My only real concern with John little is that he followed the Lee estate’s party line in regards to only revealing Bruce as some kind of saint, completely magnifying his good side and minimizing the realities of Bruce’s life which were often not so saintlike-but that which made him so much more interesting as a real person.

[@andriygriffin4782]

What do you mean by a falling out with the lee estate? Any references?

[@iztheillest]

was his voice dubbed in the iTunes version?

[@73mrbmx]

was that Roy Chiao's real voice ?

[@razzles5338]

That's not Bruce Lee's voice. That is the voice of John Little.

@SuperGraceland wtf are u saying?

[@razzles5338]

What the fuck are you people talking about? What dubbs and voice overs?

Alas, For those intensely & seriously trained to instantly defend..and sometimes do both simultaneously as in Wing Chun. They know Master Lee is oh so correct. From a reactionary point of fact at a high level of development, it does, " Hit all by itself in certain situations. Therefore the judge should not have laughed at a friend of mines regarding a domestic violence mishap and ruled against him. He tryed to explain how a if someone's wildly, emotionally flailing car keys towards your neck and eyes, yelling at the top of th.. He tryed to explain how its through no gault of his.. How a Battle tested Vietnam veteran could, accidentally slap a toof out a bitch mouth- [Like he indeed did) If she basically didn't get the fuk out his face. Not intentionally. It hit all by it self Yahonour. Maybe if they had not sat on this footage for 2 decades ..bruh coulda used it. Bruce is credibility. 👊
