ting down the five most fascinating
things that you probably didn’t know
about Bruce Lee the philosophy really
actually had was the simpler the better
the most effective the direct line the
other stuff was all Halloween will be
sticking to things that we could
actually verify as true so you won’t
hear anything about him playing ping
pong with nunchucks I was a digital
creation and didn’t actually happen this
isn’t real what is real how do you
define real number five he could dance
as well as he could fight
we all know about his fists but Bruce
Lee had feet of fury for kicking yeah
but I mean also for dancing in the 50s a
young Bruce Lee built a reputation as a
street fighter in Hong Kong he even ran
with a gang called the Tigers of
Junction Street however his coordination
also learned him surprising recognition
as a dancer
shortly before leaving for America in
1958 Lee actually became a national
dance champion when he won the crown
colony cha-cha championship his parents
knew that he was destined for even
greater things through martial arts
though and packed him off on a ship to
the United States without a lot of money
to his name still while traveling to the
US Lee utilized his second skill and
charged fellow steamship passengers for
dance lessons
number four an extra challenged Leon set
and lost the words stop and it’s an
illusion is something what the public
calls you as Lee’s famous Ries so did
the challenges against him
never one to back down he reportedly
once had an encounter with an extra on
the set of enter the drag oh don’t hit
back the story goes that the young man
taunted Lee who is eventually like
welcome at me bro though the kid was
apparently pretty good all accounts
describe Lee’s systematic destruction of
his opponent and afterwards Lee gave his
rival a lesson in how to improve his
technique another similar anecdote came
out of Enter the Dragon a young Jackie
Chan was working on the film when we
accidentally smashed him in the face
with a stick Chan laughed the incident
off though more grateful to be touched
by his idol than anything else and
actually I’m not paying any more because
you know young guy a knee very tough but
it certainly I don’t know why I just
pretend very painful oh oh
I just want Butley homie along as always
his camp number three Lee’s corpse is on
film forensic scientists from around the
world came up with a conclusion that he
had had a hypersensitive reaction to
this medication that he had been given
for a headache for all Lee’s triumph he
led a tragically short life as well
starring in just five movies before he
suddenly died at the age of 32 audio
like back at the time of his passing Lee
was midway through production of the
appropriately named Game of Death in
order to complete the film writers wrote
around leaves absence by having his
character faked his own death sparked a
bit of controversy however as actual
footage of leaves memorial including
close-ups of his open casket were used
in the final cut also in the final cut
were a few moments where it was very
clear that a body double or a cardboard
cutout was standing in for Lee you
shouldn’t have done that
no that was a very big mistake number
two Lee helped bring martial arts to the
west
it used to be the gum few practitioners
believed that martial arts should only
be taught by the Chinese to the Chinese
Bruce saw it differently our back yard
was always a backyard school so for
Jimmy Coburn to come over or Stephen
Queen to come over was like not that big
a deal he opened up a school in San
Francisco that didn’t discriminate as
his fame grew so did the profile of his
clientele which included Hollywood
celebrity Steve McQueen and James Coburn
an NBA star Kareem abdul-jabbar which
was the best depending okay not as a
fighter
Steve Steve McQueen’s that son of a gun
got the toughness in him his teaching
and the fact that he was a movie star at
a time when there was still a lot of
prejudice towards Asian people in
Hollywood Meili instrumental in bringing
martial arts to America and Beyond and
that the wrong kinda number one li was
too fast for the cameras just how fast
was Bruce Lee there are lots of stories
on the internet that are hard to
actually confirm as fact for instance we
couldn’t find any footage or eyewitness
testimony of him grabbing grains of rice
out of the air with chopsticks as many
sites claimed he was able to do another
popular legend that we couldn’t confirm
is that they had to shoot his fight
scenes at a higher framerate because he
was too fast to be caught at 24 frames
per second whether that’s true or not he
could clearly move fast enough to look
like a blur on film there is a finger
jab there’s a punch there was the
breakfast and then lo of course then
they used Lake straighted a gun or come
up he did say that he learned to slow
down his technique for the benefit of
the camera and still if you slow down
some of his moves you can often see that
what you thought was just one strike was
actually too
so what do you think how much of Bruce
Lee is legend and how much is fact and
you really think that’s true until next
time the words of Lee himself punch when
you have to punch kick when you have to
kick for more tough guy top 10s and
