Member DragonClaws Posted September 10, 2019 Author Member Share Posted September 10, 2019 Gene LeBell Comes To Grips With Bruce Lee: Gene LeBell and Bruce Lee Met in Hollywood Quote “At that time I had a small dojo near Paramount Studios,” LeBell explained. “Bruce would come to my school and I’d go to his. Back then he had a small school in China Town. We worked out on a one-on-one basis and we both learned a great deal from each other. He taught me a lot of kung fu moves that I had never seen before, and Bruce was phenomenal with his kicks. He taught me how to do crescent kicks, and spinning back kicks. Of course nowadays everybody does those kicks, but back then it was all new and exciting. In return, I showed Bruce some judo throws and grappling techniques. In fact, he used one of the judo grappling armbars I taught him in “Enter The Dragon.” Source- https://www.martialartsentertainment.com/gene-lebell-comes-to-grips-with-bruce-lee/ Gene LeBell takes another on-screen hit from Bruce Lee as Kato. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently got a magazine entirely dedicated to The Green Hornet, with a lot of pictures and comments (that I still haven't had time to read...) and the guy who sold it to me sent a dvdr with a lot of pictures of Bruce Lee on and outside the set of Green Hornet, among which there are these ones you posted. I didn't know that it was a public appearance and I thought that it was an Indian actress in one of the episodes. On this dvdr I got, there are a lot of pictures of Bruce and Van Williams (such beautiful eyes !!) having fun on the beach and elsewhere, pictures on what looks like a wedding banquet, pictures of Bruce with his wife and son, teaching him some moves and so on... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a great find @ShawAngela, and that's really cool of the seller to include the DVD-R you mentioned. 21 hours ago, ShawAngela said: I didn't know that it was a public appearance and I thought that it was an Indian actress in one of the episodes. I was guessing that it was a public appearance rather than being taken from filming of the show. You might be right about her being an extra. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who can name the Martial Artist James Coburn and Bruce Lee refer to in this quote?. That refer's to Coburn Martial Arts teacher, for his role as Derek Flint. Quote Coburn had starred in the James Bond parody Our Man Flint, in which his character was meant to be a martial arts expert. Coburn asked Lee his opinion of the teacher he’d used for that film, and Bruce said he was “pretty far down the bottom” of all the martial arts teachers in the US.

Member DragonClaws Posted November 17, 2019 Author Member Share Posted November 17, 2019 Bruce Lee’s one-inch punch kung fu moment recreated in Ip Man 4 Source- https://www.scmp.com/sport/martial-arts/kung-fu/article/3037042/bruce-lees-one-inch-punch-kung-fu-moment-recreated-ip Quote It's one of the most iconic moments in Bruce Lee’s career and fight fans will be able to relive it in the latest instalment of the hugely successful Ip Man franchise. Lee’s one-inch punch – where from a single inch away, the martial arts legend was able to muster an explosive blow that could knock opponents clean off the ground – comes to life again on the big screen. Lee demonstrated his prowess in Long Beach, California in August 1964 a few years before he became a TV star, playing Kato in the hit series, The Green Hornet. Bruce Lee demonstrating his One Inch Punch with Bob Baker during the mid 60's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DragonClaws Posted January 5, 2020 Author Member Share Posted January 5, 2020 Quote Thomas G Kuhn has had vast experience in the entertainment industry as studio executive (Warner Bros. TV), network television executive (NBC), corporate executive (RCA Video), and independent producer. He has produced television movies, series and mini-series, as well as Home Video projects, and Theatrical Feature Films. Perhaps Mr Kuhn’s main claim to fame was when he was Vice President in Charge of Production for Warner Bros. TV and supervised the series Kung Fu. Bruce Lee was desperate for the part and gave an unauthorised audition for Tom in his office, the famous fist managing to stop a fraction of an inch from Tom’s chin. He has worked with some of Hollywood’s most iconic directors and stars including Robert Altman, Jean- Luc Godard, Nicholas Roeg, Bruce Beresford and Ken Russell. Stars included Diane Keaton,Elliot Gould and Jane Fonda.

Member DragonClaws Posted January 11, 2020 Author Member Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) Quote For instance, on page 108 Tommy Gong asserts that the book Wing Chun Kung-Fu by James Yimm Lee (Ohara Publications, 1972) was actually written by Bruce Lee in or around 1968. After later giving up on the Wing Chun system, Lee decided to shelve the project. Yet when his close friend James Yimm Lee needed help covering his final medical expenses (he died of lung cancer caused by chemicals employed in his career as a welder) Bruce asked his contacts at Ohara to rush the book into production. They were to list James Lee as the author and to send him the advance on the royalties. Gong asserts that James was named as the author of the book as Bruce did not want to be associated with the project after having decided to distance himself from the Wing Chun system. This is a remarkable story. The only supporting source that seems to be listed is an intertextual mention of a conversation that the author had with Ted Wong (who helped in the photography for the project). If true this account has some pretty important implications. To begin with, it would mean that the single most influential book on Wing Chun ever produced (and possibly the best selling English language book on the Chinese martial arts) was actually written by Bruce Lee. Better yet, it was written by someone who was trained by Ip Man (and his senior students) in the 1950s, who could faithfully relate what his system was actually like (at least up through Chum Kiu).

Link- https://chrisjonesblog.com/2008/10/meet-marlyn-mason-force-of-nature.html Quote Marlyn is also chock full of old stories about the Hollywood of yesteryear, always threatening to spill the beans… One story really resonated with me. She was working with Bruce Lee, yes BRUCE LEE! And she was having a bad day and generally stomping around in a mood, perhaps even throwing a hissy fit – Bruce grabbed her by the arms and forced her to stop still for a moment, then quietly said, ‘Marlyn, what is… IS…’ She told me that hit her like a train wreck – she wandered around for a week trying to make sense until she finally got it – from that day she never complained again, and to this day, is generally the most exciting, passionate, fun and dynamic person in any room.There is a lesson for us all in this story…‘what is… IS…’ Edited February 2, 2020 by DragonClaws 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DragonClaws Posted February 4, 2020 Author Member Share Posted February 4, 2020 Has John Landis ever talked about Bruce Lee in any other interviews?. Are there any other sources that confirm what he says in the video below?. I cant help but feel there's some truth in what he says about most of Hollywood, not caring about Bruce Lee. During his first attempt to crack the American market in the 60's. Thing's had clearly changed a lot, when he was later approached to make a certain well known co-production in 1972. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DragonClaws Posted February 13, 2020 Author Member Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) Quote Bruce probable weighed 135 pounds at most, but he could hit like a mule. I know, because he knocked me under Sharon Tate’s barstool at Columbia Pictures in 1968. Bruce never confronted any big men to my knowledge. There are stories out there, but none I personally know of.
