Always be limber. Greenbamboo posted this a few days ago at the Bruce Lee Lives! forum.

Cool shot, they must have taken hundreds of pictures, just on that shoot alone.

I've not seen GreenBamboo on these forums for awhile, seems like a cool guy. It's a real shame LJF doesnt post as regular over at Bruce Lee Lives. Guess somebody told him he should be charging people money for the research he shared?. He provided so much materiel, and never once charged fans for it. Not that I feel everything should be given away for free, especially if you have worked hard and spent large amounts of money, collecting materiel on a subject.

I guess LJF was tipped off by people that some others were reposting his articles and translations on their Facebook pages and other sites without crediting him. Kind of funny though since he uses Bruce Lee's initials. He provided good content nonetheless.

Bruce Lee, David Chiang, Chen Kuan Tai, and Chang Cheh all in the same picture. That's incredible...

Bruce Lee hanging out with some fans. He always took time out of his day, to give back.

Fans? if I'm not mistaken that's Raymond Chow with his back to the camera and the King Boxer himself, Lo Lieh...

Exactly. Without the fans, he would have been long forgotten. The man knew his place in the universe.

RIP former Bruce Lee student and friend Allen Joe. The number of people who personally knew Bruce Lee continues to shrink.

An animated Bruce Lee, telling a story? or trying to get an idea across to Robert Clouse and Fred Weintraub.

A very common image of Brcue Lee on the set of ETD, putting on the dark blue jumpsuit.

Lee made the most of the set's lighting, for this image.

Even though Lee wasn't of particularly solid health throughout ETD, it's still impressive how he could show off his lithe body with just some basic flexing.

Thats right, despite the 125 pound bodyeight, what little of him that was left, was solid weight resistance, developed muscle. The guy new just how to present himself to the audience. He got them to rig the lighting just right, for the cavern/mirror room sequences.

I still find it mesmerizing that Bruce went through a similar weight loss process in Big Boss, but nowhere does he seem as gaunt as he does in ETD.

I think the pain in his back might have been worse by the time he made ETD?, I'm only taking a guess there. There was also the stress and lack of sleep, the guy was pushing himself hard. His time for international fame had come, and he had a lot to lose. He was a real human being with problems just like other people, and not the invincible movie character some see him as.

I know that he requested a hotel lady a specialized mattress so he could sleep in the floor during filmimg of the BB.
