Fun fact: "HAN" accidentally cut Bruce Lee for real. The part where you see him yell and kick him outta the shot real fast/hard was real! Bruce Lee got pissed from being cut for real and kicked him so hard he dislocated "HAN's" shoulder and they kept rolling while he was in a sling.

[@nathanpark1058]

Fun Fact: One of the men getting his ass kicked in the basement by Bruce is none other than Jackie Chan.

[@christhompson6010]

Seeing this in theaters in a packed house was a life changing experience as a young teenager in the 70,s. technicolor made the colors jump off the screen. Lee had the crowd in the palm of his hand from the very first scene. just an amazing experience i will never forget. the original version i saw was different. they released it later with this extra footage added. but the original i saw was just as powerful

[@waterbeauty85]

Back when "Enter the Dragon" came out, Black Belt magazine reported that John Saxon (the actor who played Roper) was a brown belt in Shotokan karate. Since then, I've seen online arguments saying that he was a black belt. Whichever rank he was, he had some legitimate martial arts skills for doing his fight scenes in this movie.

[@Jason5818UI]

Yeah but originally Jim Kelly's character was supposed to live and Johns was supposed to die ...but Johns agent used his acting experience to his advantage but that ending would've been better as originally intended considering Jim was a middle weight karate champion

25:03 when Bruce kicked O'Hara, he kicked him so hard when he fell into the fighters, one of the fighters got his arm broken. And when Bruce fought with the guards, the guy he grabbed was the young Jackie Chan

[@kerry-j4m]

Bruce's fight scenes took up to 7/8 hrs to produce,Lee knew this film was his ticket into stardom in hollywood movies,so,the fight scenes had to shine.He was so nervous about this movie he didn't show-up to set for almost 2 weeks,Linda Lee had to coax him to start filming the film he's supposed to star in.

[@darkgable85]

@kerry-j4m yeah, and he had beef with the writer of the movie as well for that scene when he talked to his mother's grave.

[@blastradius9136]

Lee put Bob Wall (O'Hara) in a hospital for days and broke his sternum with that kick.

[@darkgable85]

@blastradius9136 No, he didn't .... but bruce did go to the hospital because he accidentally smashed his hand on the glass

[@Yora21]

It was the 70s, and in Hong Kong they really didn't think a lot about stunt safety compared to today. They just did the thing and pointed a camera at it. People got hurt a lot. It seems a miracle Jackie Chan can still walk.

[@chrisleebowers]

In the first sparring match, Bruce's opponent is Sammo Hung. The backflip he did after the match was his stunt double Yuen Wah who is the landlord in "Kung Fu Hustle" and Guang Bo, the old archer in "Shang Chi" The head goon who tries to collect Roper's debt on the golf course is Pat Johnson who trained the actors and choreographed the fights in "The Karate Kid." He was also the ref in the tournament scenes at the end. Jackie Chan is one of Han's random goons, Bruce kicks his ass a number of times Bruce was 5' 8", Bolo is *5'6".* (Jackie Chan is 5' 10") Bolo was so jacked, he looked bigger than everyone even though he was one of the shortest guys on set. Shih Kien, the actor who portrayed Han, did not speak English. He learned his lines phonetically and then they were overdubbed by actor Keye Luke, who portrayed the original Kato in the 1940 Green Hornet serial. (In HK, movies were shot MOS; meaning no sound recorded on set, all dialog looped in post, which is why The Chinese monk was obviously overdubbed by a British actor) EDIT: no, that was his own voice, looping in post makes the sync look off even when you do it yourself. And it was Roy Chiao who was Lao Che in "Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom." Thanks to @RetroClassic66 for the correction

[@LordVolkov]

@@chrisleebowers Yuen Biao is also in the movie, making this one of the first movies Jackie, Sammo and Biao work together in.

[@RetroClassic66]

The Chinese monk, Bruce’s teacher at the beginning, was played by Roy Chiao, a Hong Kong actor who spoke fluent English and later played gangster Lao Che in INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM (1984). He dubbed his own dialogue in this movie, as did Bruce Lee.

[@Rotherhamvanman]

Also Roy Chiao and Bolo starred together again in Bloodsport with Van Damme.

[@FatalCorleone07]

FUN FACT: In Bruce Lee's fight against O'Hara, man with scar, Lee's kicks were actually full contact because in rehearsals, guy playing O'Hara accidentally sliced one of Lee's fingers open on the part where he broke the glass bottle in the scene, they changed the move to Lee kicking it out his hand on the final cut. And so to get him back, Bruce really kicked him in their fight scene. The side kick that sent O'Hara flying into the crowd broke some ribs.

[@damontjordan4167]

In addition to his martial arts and film careers, Jim Kelly also became a professional tennis player.

[@grovermonster883]

That's Kung Fu queen Angela Mao Ying playing Bruce Lee's sister in the film. Famous for her many Golden Harvest films including "Hapkido" and "When Taekwondo Strikes", she is one of the all-time greats.

[@ericechols6056]

Greatest martial art movie of all time. There will never be another Bruce Lee!!! Fun Fact: In the original script Jim Saxon's aka Roper was suppose to get killed, by Hans, but he didn't want his character getting killed, so they killed off Jim Kelly's character aka Williams. Bruce & Kelly were to team-up at the end to fight Han's men. That would have been way more epic. Saxon to me was just a brawler, but Bruce was an intense & powerful fighter & Kelly was a smooth & cool fighter, so they balanced one another, the ying & yang! 😃👍

[@InlandOne]

You just gave me a smile down memory lane. Bruce Lee was huge growing up & as kids we were fascinated seeing martial arts by him for the first time. When the Green Hornet TV series aired all we wanted to see was him as the GH’s chauffeur/sidekick use those skills on bad guys!

[@Scorpion-Gamer82]

John Saxon (Roper) started out as a teen idol in 1950s feature films. He then had numerous movie and TV roles (including playing a doctor in The Bold Ones: The New Doctors TV series with E.G. Marshall (12 Angry Men) and David Hartman (Good Morning America)) leading up to Enter the Dragon. In real life he held a black belt in Shotokan karate and had done martial arts since 1957. Later roles included two horror classics, Black Christmas and Nightmare on Elm Street.

[@scgreek1114]

There's a great parody of this in the 1977 comedy "Kentucky Fried Movie." Also, the short b&w screen test of Bruce trying out for the role of "Kato" is a really fun watch.

Bruce Lee was a visonary who had many people wanting him to not reveal his peer's art to others because of traditonal thinking or ways, without him I don't see actors like Jackie Chan or Jet Li making movies in the US or even Martial Art sports be this popular and glamorous as boxing. How he brought people from all over the world to enjoy what they love to do and turn it into a world phenomenon was a stroke of genius.The movie Dragon the Bruce Lee story is one the best biopic to delve into if youre curious about his upbringing.

[@ThistleAndSea]

How much fun was that? 😄 I discovered Bruce as Kato in the Green Hornet when I was a kid in the 60's. and have loved his movies ever since. You will love Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon when you see it! You should also add House Of Flying Daggers and Hero to your list, both very good. Thanks for sharing this one, Nia. It was fun rewatching it with you! Oh, and add The Crow from 1994 to your list to see Bruce's son Brandon Lee. He was exceptional too.

[@steve8510]

Saw it back in the mid 70's down in Chinatown here in Melbourne Australia, my best mate and I went every day for weeks, Bruce was everyone's instant hero, you'd have to go back to James Dean for comparable hype and tragedy.

[@johnscott4196]

Bruce Lee was a special talent Master of Kung Fu, philosopher and talented actor. He had a supporting role in the Green Hornet series and the later TV series "Kung Fu" was written with him in mind. But Hollywood wasn't ready for a Chinese leading man and they hired David Carridine for the role. You saw him as Bill in Kill Bill. Playing a similar character

[@SurvivorBri]

@Jason5818UI I understood why they killed him off but it still sucks. During the fight, the birds distracted him and gave Han an opportunity. I really think that was the difference. Not saying he would have survived but it made it a no win situation. But his death didn't seem necessary.

[@Jason5818UI]

Yuen Wah doubled Bruce for more acrobatic bits in the Sammo Hung fight at the beginning, although Yuen Biao doubled Bruce for the flip-kick against Oharra (Bob Wall).

Jackie Chan was raised as a performer of Peking Opera, so he is a stage performer and somewhat of an acrobat. Bruce Lee was involved in street fights in Hong Kong. These differences in their lives shows in their martial arts styles and movie stories.

Ip Man only taught Bruce Lee the foundations of traditional martial arts. Bruce's eventual style was "having no way as way." That means totally unpredictable, freestyle fighting, much like an animal would fight. Lee even said that a total beginner can be more dangerous than a so-called "expert" with years of training because the beginner is not bound by rules or conventions.

[@neutrino78x]

The only actor among the main characters who didn't know martial arts in real life was "Roper", the gambler/golf guy. Apparently the studio insisted on having him because he was an established star in Hollywood at the time. (Bruce Lee was an American, born in San Francisco! 🙂) The black guy was like 4th degree black belt in Karate, iirc. A really good show you should check out is "Warrior" on "MAX". It's based on Bruce Lee's notes for a TV show he wanted to do on CBS in the 70s. But CBS decided they didn't want an Asian-American as the star, so they declined his offer but then turned around and made a show called Kung Fu with a white guy as the main character. Warrior is about a guy who comes to San Francisco from China in the late 1800s looking for his sister who was kidnapped. (at that time, China was a free country.) He finds her, but she has become a drug dealer. Our hero ends up in a gang, and at first he's an unintentional bad guy, but over time he becomes a guy who just uses his role in the gang to pay the bills, and behind the scenes he's doing good stuff for the people of Chinatown. Everybody in Warrior who is portrayed as knowing martial arts, the actor actually knows it in real life! The main character is played a British man of Japanese descent (he fakes an American accent for the show). Bruce Lee's daughter is the producer of the new show. She knows Jeet Kune Do herself! (her father's art.) But her father died when the kids were very young, so it was Bruce Lee's friends who taught her JKD. It's a really good show!! 🙂

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.

Shih Kien (Han) actually knew Bruce’s father as fellow actors decades before.

33:00: A young Jackie Chan gets his neck broken, then is the last hit by the bo staff, and is the one flying into the acid after being hit by the nunchaku.

Bruce is very skilled, but what makes him iconic is his flair. He used to compete in cha cha dancing competitions and surely added to his fluid footwork and sense of drama

[@djaynorequest]

Great reaction...will you be doing his other movies?

[@henrysedillo5834]

💪👉🙇.... great reaction episode 🎧😎💯👍 .......

Saxon played a robot in an episode of The Six Million Dollar Man. 🤖

[@peterdavis8471]

I like the female reactions to the old school kung fu movies

[@AfroSamurai215]

You're talking about Zack Effron from High School Musical, the actor's name in this movie who you compared him to is named John Saxon; I agree... they both look similar.

Super classic. Many hk stars were the guards and fighters in this movie way before becoming famous. Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao and many more hk stars. Would love to see The Foreigner make this channel staring Jackie Chan. Enjoy subbed

[@XRos28]

Fun fact: in the fight that Bruce Lee fought after he left the telegram machine room, one of the fighters was none other than Jackie Chan, it was the one Lee "broke the neck" of... Speaking of muscles, watch Jackie Chan's earlier movies, you'll get to see his...

The hitting part is real some Kung fu teachers use bamboo reeds to make students focus.

Bruce ❤

1:43 Yes, that bit *was* supposed to be in English, but in the original version released in 1973 that whole scene was cut due to it at the time being deemed "too preachy" for a Western audience. It was not added until sometime in the 1990s, by which point, although Roy Chiao was still alive, Bruce had died long beforehand so someone else had to dub his voice. Also, this was a Hong Kong production. At the time Hong Kong movies were not shot sync-sound so all voice-recording was done after filming wrapped. The first Hong Kong film to be shot sync-sound was not until _Police Story III: Supercop_ in 1992, and even then it would not be until 1998 that this became standard practice in Hong Kong cinema.

Best funky 70s soundtrack. Lalo Schifrin is just great.

[@Lenkic13]

I love how this has both Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan in it. Also Angela Mao, who plays Bruce Lee’s sister, is fucking amazing. Try to check out her films.

*Now...* you need to react to "Kentucky Fried Movie" It's the very first movie from Zucker-Abrams-Zucker ("Airplane" "The Naked Gun") and it features an extended parody of ETD. (If you've never seen "The Wizard of Oz" see that first too) Bruce only made five movies. They're all worth seeing, except maybe "Game of Death" - it was completed after his death using unfinished footage and his stunt double in sunglasses. Instead, find the documentary "Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey" it contains all the Game of Death footage in it's original cut. And although it's highly fictionalized, the biopic "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story" is a lot of fun What you really should check into is 80's and 90's HK action like *classic* Jackie Chan ("Police Story" "Project A" "Dragons Forever" "Operation Condor" "Drunken Master 2") Jet Li (Once Upon a Time in China I & II, Fist of Legend) and John Woo ("The Killer" "Hardboiled" "Once a Thief") and the fantasy movies like "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "The Bride with White Hair"

[@KungFu_Dean78]

The Big Boos, Fist of Fury, The Way of the Dragon, Game of Death.

[@SurvivorBri]

This was Bruce's first Hollywood movie.

[@jessiechen279]

If you fancy more 'Martial Art's' movie's....'Drunken master', 'Method man' {now known as 'Fearless boxer'}, 'Shoalin soccer', 'Ong bak', 'Kung Faux' & 'Fist of the conder' for a nice mix of classic modern and comedy martial arts.... I'd also recommend 'District 13'{2004} & the 'Taxi' Franchise{1998 on}....both french action crime movies, both under-rated but great! 😉

[@waterbeauty85]

They didn't have spun sugar breakaway bottles, so those were real broken glass bottles in the scene when Ohara attacks Lee. Bruce Lee actually cut his hand on one of the bottles, and filming of his fight scenes had to be delayed while his hand healed.

[@faroutfan3.024]

Bruce broke some mirrors in the last fight scene. Broken mirrors= bad luck.

[@JedHead77]

If you look closely, Bruce has a bandage on his knuckes.
