ON THE TRACKS OF THE DRAGON | Visiting Bruce Lee locations around the world | THEN & NOW

[@Ded9822]

In my 60’s today, growing up in Torrance CA, Bruce Lee was a big influence in my life. I even joined the FKA in 1975, Jerry Poteet, Richard Bustillo rotated as instructors for the kids class and of course Dan Inosanto. So yes, Bruce Lee was influential in my life. Missed but not forgotten. RIP

Thanks for making this video. As a Kung Fu instructor I was massively inspired by Bruce Lee. I've been to Hong Kong several times and it has become one of my favorite cities. I wish this video existed when I was going there about 8 and 10 years ago, I would have been able to visit some of these iconic locations. At the time I thought filming was mostly done at the studios so I never even made the effort to see if they did exist. At least I took a picture infant of the Bruce Lee statue on the Hong Kong Walk of Fame. Cheers!

Great stuff Martijn, many thanks. The 007 stuff is brilliant as usual, but to know you also do Bruce Lee locations is just fantastic.

Glad you like it!

Buenísimo 👏 👏 👏

[@djoneforever]

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing and the hard work. Bruce Lee Forever ❤

[@TheTraveler2222]

We all feel sadden by the fact the Bruce Lee died at just the age of 32, but in truth this man has and will continue to outlive us mere mortals, rarely a year goes by when I was growing up was there not a movie, a documentary, a remake or a TV soapie of some sort featuring Bruce Lee, then with the advent of the internet came all the Bruce Lee memes, then the IP Man movies......Bruce lee is immortal

[@laulau33170]

J'ai fait hong Kong 🇭🇰 deux fois pour visiter les différents lieux où Bruce Lee à été et j'ai eu la chance de pouvoir voir l'exposition sur Bruce Lee au hong Kong héritage muséum et J'ai été aussi en Thaïlande 🇹🇭 dans la maison du film big boss à pak chong, ce sont des moines qui vivent dans le domaine. 🙏🏻☯️❤️🇨🇵

Great Job!!!

Thanks

[@rarefiedtennis4777]

That was awesome thanks !! I'll check out Bond !

[@onthetracksof007]

Thanks!

[@vinnyvincent2862]

Great video : fun fact : The movie title "The Chinese Connection" was a marketing strategy based on the success of another movie from the same year (1971) " The French Connection " ( starring Gene Hackman ) ! ❤🙏🇬🇧

[@onthetracksof007]

You're right! 👍

[@crouchhill]

Paying respect for the Warrior till the end ❤

[@freedom174]

Well done 👍👍✌✌

[@onthetracksof007]

Thank you!

[@jwfloating-world]

Thanks for a very interesting video. I really like the overlay of the photos. The reason for the changes of the titles for Bruce's first two films was for the distribution of The Big Boss in America, due to the drug smuggling, "The Chinese Connection" title could cash in on the French Connection. But both films arrived together and the canisters got accidently swapped.

[@mikalroyhansen9586]

nice

[@Alfredo_47]

Very interesting video thank you for your effort mate I cannot believe they demolished that house what a stupid, stupid decision.

[@onthetracksof007]

Thanks. Hard to believe the city just didn't care, although it must be said that since having been a love hotel the house hardly resembled Bruce's original house.

[@Alfredo_47]

@@onthetracksof007 Yeah I was thinking while I was watching the video surely all those rooms were addeed for the hotel business? Not sure if he had that many rooms before

[@onthetracksof007]

I think maybe the number of rooms did not change that much, it's mostly the house facade, which used to be all glass, which was replaced by concrete wall for maximum privacy. And his lovely zen garden that became onsite parking lot.

[@hugoslav7786]

Really interesting video. The hotel in Rome, does it still excist?

[@onthetracksof007]

Thank you. Yes it does! Today it is the Rome Marriott Grand Hotel Flora.

[@lorenzodeluca1934]

Sadly the statue on the Hong Kong bay was removed in recent times by HK Government an relocated elsewhere.

[@onthetracksof007]

We we there a few months ago, it is still at the Avenue of the Stars

[@lorenzodeluca1934]

@@onthetracksof007 If so, I was wrongly informed. I was there in 2007. His house was stilll there, in 2019 they demolished it so I thought the same for the statue considering China government didn't love Bruce for obvious reasons and refused to participate the Statue, that was built thanx private financing. thanx.

[@MilanKrezovic]

what is location of restaurant in Way of the dragon and back alley fight??? thanks for answer...

[@onthetracksof007]

The exterior of the restaurant was filmed at Via Borgognona 29 in Rome. The interior and back alley fight was done in Golden Harvest Studio.

[@josselinpietri]

Je fait des peinture sur bruce lee suis passionner

[@hugoslav7786]

In Enter The Dragon, down at the beach where Bruce Lee arrives from the boat. There is a small house there, every location video have this small jouse or cabin. I cant remember it from the film, do you know why everybody film that house?

[@onthetracksof007]

You can just vaguely see it stick out behind the wall around the fight courts

[@sitthirithphay9590]

Please, In the way of the dragon, do you have the exact address of the ending scene ? The one where Bruce is walking alone. I can't find which cemetery it is. (Verano ? Non catholic ? ...)

[@onthetracksof007]

Verano it is

[@sitthirithphay9590]

@@onthetracksof007 So I have to come back to Verano. Very hard place to find. Many many thanks.

[@onthetracksof007]

It is huge, but yes, you will have to come back now! 😁

[@sitthirithphay9590]

​​​@@onthetracksof007 I have the pleasure to announce you that I found the right place. Thanks to your confirmation, it gave me confidence and it paid off ! So glad 😊 !

[@erickjackson4713]

When I was younger I saw the original cut of Fist of Fury. There was a guy who jumped out of a black van he started talking to Bruce Lee however it was not part of the script the two guys fought and he tried to drown Bruce Lee and muddy water Bruce Lee pretended like he was dead and he jumped up smashing the guy in the chest doing that yelled at he always do. Where is that footage because Bruce Lee smash the camera he was very upset about that this happening during filming.

[@MofazzalHossainRizu]

Which one is the abandoned house' scene on the movie Enter the dragon where so many people nowadays go??Actually I am not sure about the scene..

[@onthetracksof007]

Me neither. The only 'abandoned house' I can think of was Bruce's own house in Hong Kong, but that has been demolished by now.

[@MofazzalHossainRizu]

@@onthetracksof007 Okay.. Wish I go to Hong Kong to go to film location of enter the dragon only for Bruce Lee ..

[@808music3]

Paved the way for everyone and everybody to be excepted regardless Color creed and nationality. No one is Above or under…!

[@onthetracksof007]

Well said

[@hugoslav7786]

You should make a Rambo location video there is only videos of the first one on youtube

[@Wolfinger1935]

Anyone know the name of the Actor who played the big bearded Italian thug? Mam Mia! Can't find anything anywhere on the web.

[@MofazzalHossainRizu]

And also please tell the location where Angela mao committed suicide in the film enter the dragon....

[@onthetracksof007]

That was a studio set. They used to have a permanent shanty town set behind Golden Harvest Studios and that is where they filmed that scene.

[@MofazzalHossainRizu]

@@onthetracksof007 Okay..

[@TienChoihk]

The officials of the HKG have always been so short-sighted...the house of Bruce should have been purchased, if not directly, by a third party guy for the construction of a Bruce Lee museum

[@onthetracksof007]

Totally agree!

[@punisher6871]

What is the net worth of Bruce Lee today ? I've found here and there that was 10 millions $ at his death around 80 millions $ in 2024 Which is still ridiculous.

[@КонстантинГромов-ц3ъ]

Не пойму по видео....Дом Брюса Ли в Гонг Конге...., снесли что ли???Совсем больные???? Можно сузей создать было...

[@onthetracksof007]

Yes, it has been demolished

[@numeric.alphabet]

Kuaing bere bahasa Jawa!!

[@Veteran007]

There is no Way of the Dragon in U.S. It's called Return of the Dragon, mainly because it was released after Enter the Dragon even though it was made before that film. What determines the actual name of a movie is what the marketing department decides upon. That's where the money and promotional efforts are spent. It's not what some Bruce Lee purist says the movie should be called. Go back in time and look at all the posters, magazines and newspapers clips from the 70s and you'll have your answer. Stop rewriting history.

[@onthetracksof007]

The other option was to say the Americans fucked up all the titles, but I was just trying to be more subtle ;-)

[@frogtastic1000]

Great video

[@onthetracksof007]

Thanks!
