Ok, here we go :

" I worked with Bruce Lee on all of his movies since the first one, Big boss in Thailand.

During the shots, he was always a cool guy, always  proposing some ideas.

This guy, even if he had been sitting among ten thousands of persons, you would have spotted him at once !

It's him who, the first of all, has given an international fame to Hong Kong cinema, because kung fu is an universal language."

Thankyou very much for translating and posting the interview. I really like this last part.

How Bruce Lee and street fighting in Hong Kong helped create MMA

 

Quote

Most people credit the US with inventing mixed martial arts (MMA) but combat sports have long been an intrinsic part of Hong Kong’s culture. As a teenager, Bruce Lee was one of the first to combine different martial arts disciplines in the city’s street fights, decades before the formation of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in America

Sadly this interview has sound issues, not sure it the original recordings fault or the way it's been up-loaded?.

Growing up with Bruce Lee

Quote

Palmer remembers the 135-pound Lee arm-wrestling and beating a tough 225-pound kid, and later doing one-handed push-ups with the same kid on his back. But he also adds to our understanding of Lee by recounting his love of corny jokes and talking about his years working in Ruby Chow’s restaurant. When the manuscript is published, it will provide further insight into the man who was Bruce Lee.

Doug Palmer with Bruce Lee in Hong Kong (1963), I'm not sure who the third person is?.

Is that John Little doing the narration?.

Don’t think so but they do sound similar,if you are into boxing he has done some great videos and short documentaries on some of the great fighters and incidents of the past.
