  • The adventures of a Shaolin monk in the Wild West were hugely popular in the early 1970s, with both US and UK audiences loving the kung fu action

Bruce Lee remembered: how Steve Kerridge is devoting his life to keeping the martial arts icon’s teachings alive, writing books on classic kung fu films Fist of Fury, The Way of the Dragon and The Big Boss - By Tracey Furniss

Quote

“Like thousands of others, the whole explosion of what is generally known as the ‘kung fu boom’ grabbed my attention as an impressionable 10-year-old around the late summer of 1973,” says Kerridge. “But for all the Jimmy Wang Yus, Lo Liehs and David Chiangs, there was only one that truly hit home, and that was Bruce Lee.”
