Member David Rees Posted August 16, 2013 Member Share Posted August 16, 2013 It is well known that Yuen Wah doubled Bruce Lee for flips etc in Enter The Dragon, but here is a photo where you can actually see its him, about to do the flip kick vs Bob Wall...

Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted August 16, 2013 Member Share Posted August 16, 2013 Even as a naive kid I always felt that the post sammo fight flip and Bob Wall flip kick wasn't done by Bruce. But my friend would go mental if I ever mentioned it. Once at a kids birthday party, the parents had rented some videos for us to watch, ETD among them (the others being Neverending Story and Rambo 2... I still remember) so anyway, I mention that I don't think Bruce does the flips. Another kid agrees, and my friend throws an epic tantrum, throws his soda across the living room and runs home. Aaah, Bruce Lee fans... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaah, Bruce Lee fans... Some Bruce fans are the worst and simply refuse to admit the man was anything but flawless. I've had similar debates with people adamant that he performed all his stunts as well as claims like, "Did you know Ip Man stopped teaching him because he ended being better than Ip Man?"

Member Drunken Monk Posted August 16, 2013 Member Share Posted August 16, 2013 Does anyone have any other pictures like this: Jet Li, Jackie Chan et al with their stunt doubles? I think it's great to see these myths somewhat debunked via photographic evidence. Not because I'm an arsehole but because I think these stunt people need to get some recognition. Ok, ok...and I'm an arsehole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Drunken Monk Posted August 16, 2013 Member Share Posted August 16, 2013 plenty of jackie being doubled by the likes of Mars and Chin Kar Lok floating about Yeah, but only low quality paused screen caps. I was wondering if there were any good quality behind the scenes stills like the one above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted August 16, 2013 Member Share Posted August 16, 2013 I think good quality images of doubles in action are few and far between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Asmo Posted August 17, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 17, 2013 True, but if there (I said 'if') there were to be BTS shots from Thunderbolt floating around for example, Chin Kar Lok would at least be somewhat visible in them.

Member thesmileysmiler Posted August 17, 2013 Member Share Posted August 17, 2013 In the outtakes over the credits for City Hunter, when Jackie messes up the stunt and people rush to his aid, one of them is clearly his stunt double as he is wearing exactly the same outfit. I remember watching it back in the mid 90s, and that was the first time I realised that maybe Jackie was sometimes doubled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member andi81 Posted August 18, 2013 Member Share Posted August 18, 2013 There was a photo in a japanese magazine from the boatfight in DRAGONS FOREVER, where you can clearly see Jackie being doubled...i don't know the stuntdouble's identity...he looks a bit like Chris Li, but i think it's someone else...

Member Chinatown Kid Posted August 18, 2013 Member Share Posted August 18, 2013 Martial Artists being doubled for acrobatics doesn't bother me in films because they don't have the special training for it that say Chinese Opera students had. They can't be expected to have that ability and acrobatics serve no functinal use in actual combat anyway. It sure looks good in films though!

Member thehangman Posted August 18, 2013 Member Share Posted August 18, 2013 Think alot of the time Jackie was doubled due to injuries and also cus he was prob filming other things at the same time,has done an awful lot of his own stuff tho,even Yuen biao has been doubled!

Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted August 19, 2013 Member Share Posted August 19, 2013 If JC did the hovercraft jump first, then there's no way he did the rooftop jump later on in the shoot... no with that foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member OpiumKungFuCracker Posted August 19, 2013 Member Share Posted August 19, 2013 So guys because JC didn't do most of his stunt, that discredits him from being an action icon? Don't they list the stuntmen in the end credits anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
