World premiere 30.12.72 , budget a mere 130k

Love this one , not only a kick a** traditional martial arts movie but also has charm....it was unheard of back then for a little movie co from H.K to travel to Europe to shoot , again as usual Bruce Lee set the standard.

Bruce Lee has always been one of my favorite martial arts actors in all time. I remember hearing in an interview with Jackie Chan that he actually got to spar Bruce Lee, but unfortunately, Jackie could only take a small amount of hits before KO.

I remember reading that Bruce Lee died of some weird Brain condition, very sad, but he can kick Chuck Norris' *** any day. =D

Honestly I think his producer Raymond Chow let him die (Chow was present at both May 10th '73 (when he nearly died) & July 20th '73 (day he died)

because he knew he'd be screwed when Bruce went for Hollywood....

Take the opening sequence of "Enter"

You could tell Bruce was falling apart in that scene (filmed April '73 AFTER the US crew had returned home) , on May 10th '73 he nearly died & 2 months after that collapse he died

I think Raymond Chow deliberately let Bruce die because he knew Golden Harvest studios would be screwed when Bruce left H.K for good : why do 15k salary films when Hollywood will pay 1-2 mill ?

-Chow was also present on both May 10th & July 20th incidents , he knew damn well the signs that something was wrong....why drive Bruce to QE Hospital when Baptist Hospital was closer ?

-Betty (Bruces mistress ?) just sat in the livng room watching TV for hrs yet never saw anything wrong with Bruce in the bedroom....was she stoned or something , honestly I don't buy it ??

-Why are Chow , Betty & his wife Linda reluctant to speak of this matter if Bruces death was normal & why did Linda bring Bruces body to the US when autopsy hadn't even been properly done....was she afraid they'd find evidence of foul play ?

-It is likely Bruce had a violent outburst on July 20th , maybe Chow notified Triads that he couldn't be reasoned with (GH was prolly financed by mobsters and it was common for entertainers to pay them....Bruce refused this)

-Why did Wu Ngan (Bruce's childhood friend/butler/co-star) leave H.K immediately after Lee's death with 55k ?

-It's rumored that Robert Baker (Russian villain in Fist of Fury) supposedly brought drugs & guns to Bruce (he was also in H.K the day Bruce died) , was he afraid that he'd given him a bad stash....he also left H.K immediately after Lee's death ?

-Why did Linda refuse the theory that drugs being cause of death....insurance money that's why !

-Bruce was also thinking of going to court because of Chows finances (Bruce & Chows production company was called Concorde fyi)

-Raymond also tried to pull a fast one after Lee's death , refusing to pay Linda any money....she fought him in court for several yrs before he coughed up the money (Bruce was owed profits for "Fist" , "Way" & "Enter" & also living expense bonus....Chow bought the rights for the films for peanuts , incl the "Game" footage.....Linda could've gotten more for them)
