Member The Dragon Posted December 29, 2007 Member Share Posted December 29, 2007 That was Bruce's best character. He actually drank some Hennessy, and boned a trick! That is his most realistic part. A bit of the real Bruce..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of the real Bruce..? Doubt it, he believed in being of right mind, ALL THE TIME! It's in Tao of Jeet Kun Do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member fabhui Posted January 1, 2008 Member Share Posted January 1, 2008 Doubt it, he believed in being of right mind, ALL THE TIME! It's in Tao of Jeet Kun Do. Tao of Jeet Kune Do wasn't written by Lee. It's a collection of writings he had taken from the books of Haislet, Dempsey, Driscoll, Nadi and Krishnamurti for his own use. It was then all put together in a hodge podge fashion and published as though is were Bruce's own work. A far better read to gain an understanding of Jeet Kune Do is 'Jeet Kune Do: Bruce Lee's Commentaries On The Martial Way' published by Tuttle. Also towards the end of his life Bruce Lee liked to have more than just a drop of Saki!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Dragon Posted January 1, 2008 Member Share Posted January 1, 2008 Amen, to that, fabhui. Straighten Sifu out on this subject. Bruce was FAR from the monesteric Monk type. He probably would have yelled at the screen when his own character in WOTD ran from the room when the "Italian Beauty" walked in topless! Lol. In reality, he'd offer her some hashish brownies, and then explore her 'brownies', or browneyes. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want me to believe that everything in Dragon: The Bruce Lee story and all information provided by Linda Lee Caldwell is total bullshit! Most of us here are experts of information of the genre, but in the end I'd believe their word over yours, just like you'd the same if I gave you some conflicting info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Chinatown Kid Posted January 3, 2008 Member Share Posted January 3, 2008 Even though Bruce Lee was an incredible, charasmatic Martial Artist, he was still human like the rest of us with his own faults and bad habits. This doesn't make what he accomplished in his lifetime any less great. Do I think he ingested hash and fooled around on his wife? Yes! Do I still respect him for his skills and accomplishments? Yes! It is my belief that his bad habits is what caused his premature death. Then again, maybe it was his hyper-sensitivity to equagesic. I'm no Doctor so don't have the authority to really say....

Member fabhui Posted January 3, 2008 Member Share Posted January 3, 2008 I've seen it and it is widely known that the majoriy of the movie is a load of bullshit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chinatown Kid Posted January 3, 2008 Member Share Posted January 3, 2008 Yes Dragon is a highly fictionalized account of Lee's life. For the more accurate story it would be better to read one of the biography books on Lee, one I will recommend is Fighting Matters by Bruce Thomas which I found highly imformative and seemed well researched. One big thing that stands out as false in the Dragon movie is that Bruce fought Wong Jack Man(played by John Chaing) at Ed Parker's Internationals. Bruce actually only put on a demonstration, but it was fabulous and amazing none the less. That guy also never kicked Bruce in the back causing his back injury, he actually injured it lifting weights. Bruce did fight fight Wong Jack Man when he was younger and accounts were that Bruce won but didn't look too impressive and Bruce himself thought it took too long and found himself winded, so changed his workout routine after and added alot more strength and stamina exercises to it. After this he got into alot more phenominal shape and kept improving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even though stories are minced about him he was one of the greatest martial artists period. And even though I don't believe him to be full of debauchery, he may've been into. Who hasn't though.

Member The Dragon Posted January 6, 2008 Member Share Posted January 6, 2008 Why end it? There is a wealth of info. available Sifu if you seek the truth... Otherwise, if you want to hold the film-image of Lee as his true persona, you are not being realistic. Only in recent years have more evidence of unsavory sides to his life/lifestyle are being brought to the forefront. Remember, "People are more inclined to believe a HUGE lie than a little one..." Society is like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Society is like that. My point exactly, those "truths" we were talking about, him doing drugs and so on, could be just as speculative. Just because somethin's on wikipedia doesn't make it truth. Even if it's in a biography, it could be bull, if Linda Lee Caldwell says it I'd believe it though. Wouldn't you, to do so would be ignorance in my opinion.

Member Milkyway Posted January 8, 2008 Member Share Posted January 8, 2008 those "truths" we were talking about, him doing drugs and so on, could be just as speculative. it's well known that Bruce was taking drugs in one way or another. Bob Wall confirmed once that Bruce was testing marijuana for the first time since Steve McQueen introduced the drug to Bruce. even Chan Wai Man has confirmed that Bruce used marijuana for relaxation.

Member Chinatown Kid Posted January 8, 2008 Member Share Posted January 8, 2008 It was confirmed in Bruce's autopsy that cannibis was found in his stomach, I don't see why that wouldn't prove any doubt he took the drug. It is well known that he took the drug as a way to relax being the high strung type person he was. Bob Wall claimed that Lee being a non-smoker ate the stuff in cookies.

I don't believe you are as informed as you may like to be, however, we here at the KFCF would be more than happy to enlighten your path as you seek razors in the dark... then again... NOT!

Member fabhui Posted January 9, 2008 Member Share Posted January 9, 2008 Bruce took cannabis...FACT...Bruce liked more than just a drop of Saki...FACT...Bruce was a womaniser...FACT Does all of that make him any less of a person? Does it bollocks!! All of us have our faults, our weaknesses and flaws. We are human beings and not one of us is perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
