[karmen19]

hi guys

i am hoping that you guys can help...


...i am looking for the rumoured enter the dragon out takes which showed bruce lee fighting extras and other cast members during time out on the great film!

does this exist or is just another great rumour?

also does anyone have footage of bruce lee in real time fights or Mas Ohyama, dvd would be great....or am i just dreaming?

i dont believe they have any actual film of bruce fighting his extras.

im not sure about oyama, but all the footage of bruce fighting was just his backyard training, or some real horrible quality video of him demonstrating full contact sparring at a convention.

The rumour is actually a true story.In the book written by the director,Robert Clouse,which I think was called "Making of Enter the Dragon",He tells the story of how some of the Hong Kong extras called out Bruce for a fight between takes.Bruce took up the challenge,so he wouldn't lose face to the other chinese on the set,and ask the extra to "try to touch me".The guy tried to hit Bruce and wasn't landing anything,even though others who saw the incident said the guy had some talent.I think Bob Wall saw the incident and made the comment that Bruce was just playing with the guy until he said my turn and open up on him,giving the guy a bloody nose and other injuries.Bruce was not yelling,not in any fancy stance but was in full serious JKD mode.Some photos still exist and are in some books written about him.And yes footage existed of this incident but was destroyed by the editor who was also making a behind the scene's making of the movie.Some biographers of Bruce have made comment that the missing footage would have been the only real film of Lee in full serious functional JKD mode.The other stuff is either show stuff from demos or him acting in movies. P.S.One story from this is that the guy was stabbed the next day in the steets because he challenged their great chinese hero,and died from the wound.
