You know the tiger rug Inosanto have in his chair in the movie Game of Death , that was a tiger who tried to play hardball with me one day , which is not a clever thing to do , lets put it like that.

Wan Kam Leung Recalls Bruce Lee Fighting Wong Shun Leung

 

Quote

Some sources claim that Wong choreographed some fight scenes in Enter the Dragon, saying that “… when shooting Enter the Dragon in Hong Kong, he [Bruce Lee] invited Wong to come on location to discuss the fight scenes” and that “Wong in fact had been invited to choreograph some of the fight scenes in Enter the Dragon.” The documentary Dragon since 1973 consists of interviews with various Hong Kong personalities, mostly those who worked with Lee in his Golden Harvest days. None of the interviewees, including Bee Chan (one of Lee’s most trusted assistants), Shek Kin, and Chaplin Chang, mentioned that Wong had been invited to work as a fight scene choreographer for Enter the Dragon.

King Kung(Article)

Rumours of drug abuse and extra-marital affairs have dealt Bruce Lee's reputation a blow. But, says Clark Collis, his image as the greatest martial arts icon is intact

Quote

Film extras are a notoriously difficult bunch, always sparking up fags and jabbering on their mobile phones - "Hello! I'm on a film set! It's rubbish!" - when they're supposed to be portraying 18th-century noblemen or Roman slaves. But at least most directors have the option of getting security to remove the worst malcontents. That was not, however, an option open to Robert Clouse when he came to direct his 1973 chop-sockey classic Enter The Dragon. For one thing, the 300-odd extras he employed were mostly martial arts experts. And, for another, many of them were also mobbed up.

Let me put in here that I support the rights of Lee’s heirs to profit from his stardom, no matter how ghoulish or crass their efforts (seriously, Bruce Tea?). But if you were shocked about my revelations in Part 1, you should know that the effort to build up and proliferate the legend of Bruce Lee is a massive one—one that goes far beyond his legitimate heirs, with many people seeing his status as a cultural icon as an opportunity to cash in, including the creation of a new sub-genre of film: Bruceploitation (A portmanteau of Bruce and exploitation, these generally low-budget films starred “Lee-alikes” and were in their heyday from 1974–1981).

 

The above quote is taken from one of the following four articles, covering some diverse Little Dragon related topics.

When I wrote the first book about the first international kung fu star less than a year after his death, I never imagined how it would impact my life or that he would still be a pop culture icon 45 years later.  Now he is the subject of a first rate new biography
