Great video stripey. 👍 You made a small mistake at 11:20 but I think you will catch the mistake when you watch it back! Cheers mate, looking forward to the next video!
I used to think it was filmed in 1970, thanks to Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story! I think even Bey Logan references the year 1970 in his HKL DVD audio commentary.
@@safeashouses211 It was 71, mate, but Bey Logan did say July 23rd 1970 in the HKL audio commentary (that's probably why I repeated it) Ooooppps 😉 Cheers bud 👍
A couple of years ago, I visited Pak Chong, Thailand, where Bruce Lee filmed "The Big Boss". I went to the hotel where he stayed during filming. I think the room number was #207. The lady who served him then was still there and she told me that Bruce Lee had back issue so he called the lobby to bring a matress to be put on the floor for him. I also visited the Boss place, which is still pretty much the same as it was then, since it's a temple. A lot of dogs are still there. The water, where Lee kicked the bad guys, are almost empty. The Boss area where the Boss hit the girl with the cigarette is no longer there. If you are there, it's actually exactly the same color with the blue sky, as though Bruce Lee was still there filming. The Boss house is actually only across the street from the hotel where Bruce Lee stayed. The ice factory is still there and it's very near the Boss house, to the left as you walk out. The stream where the girl washed the clothes is actually behind the hotel. I tried to locate the Bordello and the house where all the brothers stayed, but they were no longer there. It makes sense to me because all those locations are nearby the hotel, so they don't have to carry or lug all those big camera and equipments around far.
I always loved the woman knocking the tea over, I was only a kid, and found it hilarious, not only how badly she knocks it over, but it all being instantly cleaned up lol 🤣 I don't know if you've done the one from Enter The Dragon, when Bruce kicks the guy in the face about 5 times with super fast speed, and the extra in the background, gives the biggest smile in admiration of Bruce's speed lol 🤣
Mr Stripey Rambles. I’m not sure if you’ve seen this, (I’m sure you have) but there’s this great documentary from 1978 called “Bruce Lee the Man and the Legend” if you haven’t seen it, I HIGHLY recommend it.
Brilliant video again Stripey 😊 The only thing I picked up was the piece of wood across the ice shute! Like you say so engrossed in watching the action that I don't really take notice of the small details, but now every time I watch Bruce's films I'll be watching out for them. Thanks for your hard work on our behalf and have a great week 😊✌️
Hey Stripey, i used to collect Laserdiscs many moons ago & still have a few, including Bruce Lee's movies & the rear of The Big Boss sleeve contains a shot of the deleted prostitute scene, which made me realize the movie had been subjected to a troubled history of censorship, with many scenes missing, all of which thankfully changed with the release of Arrow's set. Keep up the good work with your informative videos & all the very best.
Cheers, mate. I used to own the American laserdiscs, but long since gone, & the Laserdisc player (wish i'd kept them now) The Mandarin cut was definitely a revelation 👍
The only one I didn't know was the cup. Now I'll notice it on every rewatch. I doubt I can think of anything you don't already know, but I read the trivia section on IMDb and this one made me smile. "In the English dub, when Hsiu Chien introduces Cheng to the factory manager, the manager says "we'll see how things work out in a week". The film takes place over the course of 7 days."
Great video again, i look forward to these. Although filming conditions were poor during filming of TBB, Bruce did write that the weed in Thailand was of the highest quality lol. Every cloud.
Yet more interesting trivia & factoids that I've never even noticed before, AND I only watched The Big Boss (Mandarin Cut) again last week! LOL! Thanks for this Stripey, loving these vids pal. All the best, Bruce.😎
Did You Know: during filming and Lo Wei did not notice. A actual Muy Thai kickboxer challenged Bruce to a fight. The fighter did gave Bruce a run for his money by blocking his kicks. Bruce did win(It’s Bruce Lee) in the end the two went out to dinner and became chums.
Well, that's what a Bruce Lee Fan Club magazine said, anyway. In his recorded phone conversation with Dan Lee I recall Bruce mentioning something about a Thai boxer having been on set but he didn't say anything about having fought him.
Good vid, Stripey. Have you seen all of the promo pics of Bruce during the final fight at the Mansion doing a flying kick on the henchman with the blue t-shirt(Peter Chan)? The very peculiar thing about this is that he is not present in that fight during the film, only in the photos/stills. The weirdest thing of all though, is that his body(blue T-shirt guy) can be seen lying down on the floor face down in the grass during Bruce's fight with the Big Boss. You should do a video on this..
Hi Stripey, Learned more stuff on the big boss, I only saw it twice in the Cinema back in the 70's, for some reason it never got shown as often as the others, so when I got the Video I would only watch the fight scenes most of the time! ETD saw it about 27 times back then in the Cinema! - in ETD, when Bruce jumps up on the wall chasing Han, his toe catches the white chair - In the Hall of Mirrors , the Spare goes the wrong way around as Lee opens the door into the hall of Mirrors after Han has pushed it through! - Also the rope Lee descends into the caves is a lot thicker than the one he raps around the concert base to lower himself down! Just things I have picked up over the years ...Loving the Videos and Info Stripey.. Shane.
Thanks for these videos @Stripey I'm learning NEW things I didn't know, through these break down/10 things vidoes. Did U see my other comments I've left U on your last few videos?
Great ten things Stripey! Very well spotted stuff. I get the feeling the knife scene would work a little better if the angle was reversed - very clumsy editing ontheir part. I bet Bruce winced when he saw that. Probably brought the house down when shown in UK cinemas though. Quite a few mistakes I have never noticed.
Appreciate these Video's Stripey, Continuity in most movies and makes you smile with fondness...I always wondered at the end of Game of Death when Billy goes to the restaurant its at night but when he fights Hakim daylight comes through the broken windows? 😵😂😂keep up the Great Video's, yer a top man 👍
Thanks pal. Also in Game of Death's climax, its pouring down with rain, but when Billy Lo enters the boss' lair, hes bone dry. There's loads of problems with the 78 version, mate. Cheers 👍
It doesn't matter why the movie was called Fist of Fury (not the Big Boss) once a movie is released, that's it's name. That's why we call the movie Enter the Dragon not Blood and Steel. Once marketing settles in on a title, that's it. This idea of rewriting history doesn't fly. Bruce's first movie, like it or not, is called Fists of Fury in the U.S. The second movie is called Chinese Connection.
Hi Stripey great video as per usual.A couple of other facts you may or may not know.Bruce isn’t credited with any fight choreography even though you can tell which fights were choreographed by him.Han Ying Chieh who plays the Boss is credited with choreographing the fights.Also Lo Wei wasn’t the original director,he was brought in when the first director Ng Gar-seung was fired. Don’t know if any of the scenes he filmed have been left in though 🤔
Thanks Pal. I didn't realise Bruce isn’t credited with any fight choreography, but you're right. That's an interesting fact. I knew about Ng Gar-seung, but I'm unsure what he filmed, if any. Cheers Mate 👍
Great job once again Stripey. Also there are 2 versions of the final fight versus Bruce and the boss whereas once Bruce kicks the knife back and charges him, one version he doesn't bleed at all but another version he bleeds like a stuck pig. Cheers.
Thank you. I didn't get to see The Boss bleed out for years. The film was cut to ribbons. At least we now have the Mandarin cut, which is the most complete version we've ever had. Cheers Pal 👍
Great video Stripey. The death of the prostitute was always the strangest scene in the movie. I think because the budget was so low, alot of these were probably due to lack of time to worry about continuity.
I really love the white shirts Bruce wears in the Big Boss. In the eighties it was easy enough to get an authentic version of Bruce Lee's button down undershirt. I believe it's called a Lee Kung man undershirt or Wing Chun undershirt. Nowadays the shirt is not easy to get ahold of and the ones I've found do not have quite the same sleeves. If anyone has a good source to get these shirts please share. Thanks
Another Great Video , I learned some new things about the Big Boss as well ! (I didn't think I would) Bruce's hand required ten stitches must of been quite a gash on that Glass ! :O also, He badly sprained his ankle from a bad trampoline landing and had to drag his leg to finish the final fight scene between himself and Han Ying Chieh.
Cheers Mate. I'm suprised this video taught you anything, Steve (I'm happy about this) I almost mentioned the ankle. If I remember correctly that's why they incorporated the leg gash from the boss, to make sense of Bruce's limp. Thanks bud 👍
Hey stripey hope you are well pal, another great video my friend, I've gotten more appreciation for, The Big Boss aka Fists of Fury, since 110min manderin cut and I'm over the moon to have it in my collection, arrow shocked me with that release, 1971 it was made and released, easy mistake anybody can make pal, liked and shared as always Darren, until your next awesome bruce lee content, stay well 🇮🇪✌️👌👌👌🐉🙏🐲🤜🤛
Hey Michael. Thank you. I'm good cheers. The Mandarin Cut is amazing (although still not complete) it's the best we've had. I've not got any problem being corrected, mate. As a wise man once said 'Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.' Thanks for you're continued support 👍
Apparently James tien was originally going to be the star of the film....but as Bruce ability was shown on set. Lo wei changed to Bruce lee. Not sure if this is true...as film starts Bruce's role is more of a backing character and becomes the star later.
If you watch the first ice factory fight where Bruce beats down all the thugs and gets promoted to foreman you can clearly see his family members are all bruised and cut up from the fighting yet when they come home singing latwr that day you can see that all their injuries have vanished
Thanks , there is a picture of the Bruce Lee logo where the flying kick is visible with the tugs under him. Can’t find it in the movie. Also one funny scene is where the tugs approach him in the garden. One guy rolled up his cap sleeve T-shirt. Ridiculous. Thank you for saying I hope you’re doing well. Means a lot. Dell
Hi bud, I hope you're doing well 😉 That picture is probably one of production stills from the film. Some of the Boss' thugs do look kinda funny Cheers Pal 👍
Hi Stripey, I did see it somewhere that The Big Boss was based on a true story, there is a statue of the character what Bruce Lee played in some field, check it out, and I might be wrong but even Fist of Fury is based on a true story.
Very well done as always :)! I didnt know some of them. An other interesting thing is maybe the age of the protagonist played by Bruce. Bey Logan stated this in an interview with Charles Damiano. Cheng was supposed to be a very young fellow, maybe 20 years old or so, while Bruce was 30 during filming. It makes sense, it explains why Cheng was so dumb and naive. It makes also sense because Maria Yi is born 1953 and Tony Liu 1952. She was 18 during the filming and he was 19, and we saw Tony's character had a love interest in Maria's character. So it would be logical Bruce's character Cheng was also around that age.
@@StripeyR Yes, very haphazard to begin with, and out of his 4 5 films his best dialogued written movie followed by the cantonese version of Enter the Dragon which BL helped co-write for the asian release and partly contributed towards the dialogue for the international version. In all honesty the english version of ETD is okay but cartoonish.
two parts you didn't mention that surprised me were the scene where Chen Chao An punches the guy threw the wooden wall and his silouhuette is left on the wall. Bruce hated that but Lo Wei insisted on it. Also, during the same fight scene where they throw 2 knives at Chen but they barely miss his face as he turns towards them. It looked like they shot that backwards.
It did cross my mind to mention the "Road Runner" type punch through the wall, but I knew most would have known this. You're 100% correct, Bruce hated it. The knives was filmed in reverse, just like the dagger being kicked into the Boss at the end. Cheers Pal 👍
Another great video thank you! Did you ever watch the legend of Bruce lee tv series or the Donnie yen fist of fury tv series? Usually anything Bruce related I will watch but have never explored these just wondered your thoughts? There are film versions of both shows to thank you
There's another obvious one too. The knife that Bruce flicks back at the boss. When Bruce punches the boss and he falls to the ground and Bruce leaps on top of him throwing punches and out of exhaustion lays flat on him but the knife mysteriously has vanished 😂
Theres also a few frames missing right at the end when the police drive though the gate. This is apparent in every edit. I was hoping the mandarin cut might fix this but noooo.
I don't think I've ever seen any more frames at the end, mate. The Big Boss has lots of stuff still missing, but, the Mandarin cut is the most complete we've had. Cheers bud 👍
@@StripeyR watch the police drive in and it jumps forward. Way of the dragon has a missing frame too. After bruce gets knocked down by chuck he gets up and begins the rhythmic style fighting and the music kicks in. Watch his arms and shoulders and it jumps.
There was always one problem I had with this film...Bruce had already broken his promise not to fight during the "4 lousy guys" scene when he hit the 2 guys in the stomach and did that 3 stooges Moe Howard hit while those two guys were behind him without looking at them. This was a small fight that shoo shain was in complete control of winning and didn't need Bruce's help, but he broke his promise pretty quickly and easily for that and jokes about it. So why take so long at the ice factory when his friends were getting slaughtered. If ever there was a time to jump in quick with the promise breaking it was then. I loved the movie, but that part always bothered me a bit.
They should add all the mistakes in the film as a “Added extra”🤣🤣🤣🤣 Every 80’s movie was pretty much the same. Cockroaches are a speciality in Thailand 😂😂
Cheers pal another cracking episode 👍I'm in two minds of what to think about the cut finger as ive seen & read a lot of which says bruce cut his finger on glass & the other ' which is very cool ' cut it doing his party trick by piercing a full soda can with his finger able to go all the way through both sides & cut it when he pulled it out amazing ,what party trick that would be 😁🤜🫷🐉☯️🐉
@StripeyR such a shame mate that they didn't include the bandage finger on the enterbay boss figure that would of added extra character to the figure 👍
You 🤔 the 🗡 in the girl's chest when her back is to the 🚪where the killer was, You should watch The 5 Deadly Venoms where The Scorpion 🦂 threw his darts into The Toad's 👂 ( straight pointy throwing darts ) without bouncing off the wall or something
I learned Bruce & Lo Leigh COULDN'T STAND Each Other!! The way Bruce was treated in Hollywood as far as a relax atmosphere was concerned, Low - budget Movie 🎬 making in Thailand was Pure HELL to Mr. Lee . I'm sure Bruce didn't like some of fictional fight scenes he did RELUCTANTLY!! But ,as history was made Bruce tolerated another movie with Lo Leigh Fist of Fury ( Chinese Connection)
Great video stripey. 👍
You made a small mistake at 11:20 but I think you will catch the mistake when you watch it back! Cheers mate, looking forward to the next video!
Thanks bud. You're 100% correct. Dunno what I was thinking. It was filmed in 71. Cheers Pal 👍
@@StripeyRVery short time filming it too.....filming starts in July and released in Hong Kong cinemas in October?
I used to think it was filmed in 1970, thanks to Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story! I think even Bey Logan references the year 1970 in his HKL DVD audio commentary.

I used to own the American laserdiscs, but long since gone, & the Laserdisc player (wish i'd kept them now)
The Mandarin cut was definitely a revelation 👍
These are so great... This just takes me back to better times. Maybe get into some Bruce Li movies
Bruce is quite obviously at his heaviest in this film too. Great video 👍
Thank you. Yes, he was, although he lost a lot of weight during his time in Thailand 👍
The only one I didn't know was the cup. Now I'll notice it on every rewatch.
I doubt I can think of anything you don't already know, but I read the trivia section on IMDb and this one made me smile.
"In the English dub, when Hsiu Chien introduces Cheng to the factory manager, the manager says "we'll see how things work out in a week". The film takes place over the course of 7 days."
I'm learning as I did around to try & find Ten Things, mate. I also didn't notice the cup.
I read the 7 days one too 😆
Cheers bud 👍
Hello Stripey
One more big round of applause 👏 for this video.
Cheers mate 👍
I'm glad you enjoyed it, mate. Thank you 👍
Great video again, i look forward to these.
Although filming conditions were poor during filming of TBB, Bruce did write that the weed in Thailand was of the highest quality lol. Every cloud.
Cheers, mate. I heard Bruce though the weed was pretty good over there 😉 Every Cloud 🤣😂
Cheers bud 👍
Brilliant as always Stripey like you say when i watched it i was so engrossed in watching Bruce i never noticed these things. Bless ya 😊
Thanks mate. The next time you watch The Big Boss, you may spot these things now.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers bud 👍
A little extra Trivia ! The Boss's Lair was actually a working Funeral Home while Filming the Movie ! 👍
the sleeves had to come up or how could we see Bruce's magnificent forearms!
Indeed, fella 😉
Yet more interesting trivia & factoids that I've never even noticed before, AND I only watched The Big Boss (Mandarin Cut) again last week! LOL! Thanks for this Stripey, loving these vids pal. All the best, Bruce.😎
Cheers, mate. I'm really pleased you're getting something from these "Ten Things" videos, that's awesome.

Sounds like that scene from "Dragon: A Bruce Lee Story."
Hi Stripey. Another great video ! I was very surprised you didn't mention the saw !
Cheers bud. I did think about it, but pretty much everyone knows about that. Who knows maybe "Ten Things" pt 2
Thanks pal 👍
That was ACTUAL Crowd 😮? I think that was cool 😎 👌!! It shows how authentic the area's location was. Wasn't made in some studio location

Hi Stripey great video as per usual.A couple of other facts you may or may not know.Bruce isn’t credited with any fight choreography even though you can tell which fights were choreographed by him.Han Ying Chieh who plays the Boss is credited with choreographing the fights.Also Lo Wei wasn’t the original director,he was brought in when the first director Ng Gar-seung was fired. Don’t know if any of the scenes he filmed have been left in though 🤔

Great job once again Stripey. Also there are 2 versions of the final fight versus Bruce and the boss whereas once Bruce kicks the knife back and charges him, one version he doesn't bleed at all but another version he bleeds like a stuck pig. Cheers.
Thank you. I didn't get to see The Boss bleed out for years. The film was cut to ribbons. At least we now have the Mandarin cut, which is the most complete version we've ever had.
Cheers Pal 👍
The one that he doesn't bleed it's from Fists Of Fury print and the one that he bleeds it's from The Big Boss 83' print
Wow so many things I never noticed. Going to have to watch more closely. The 3 girls in the bordello. The girl on the left looks like Betty ting pei.

Also one funny scene is where the tugs approach him in the garden. One guy rolled up his cap sleeve T-shirt. Ridiculous. Thank you for saying I hope you’re doing well. Means a lot. Dell
Hi bud, I hope you're doing well 😉
That picture is probably one of production stills from the film.
Some of the Boss' thugs do look kinda funny
Cheers Pal 👍
Hi Stripey, I did see it somewhere that The Big Boss was based on a true story, there is a statue of the character what Bruce Lee played in some field, check it out, and I might be wrong but even Fist of Fury is based on a true story.
I'll look into this, cheers mate 👍
Very well done as always :)! I didnt know some of them. An other interesting thing is maybe the age of the protagonist played by Bruce. Bey Logan stated this in an interview with Charles Damiano. Cheng was supposed to be a very young fellow, maybe 20 years old or so, while Bruce was 30 during filming. It makes sense, it explains why Cheng was so dumb and naive.
It makes also sense because Maria Yi is born 1953 and Tony Liu 1952. She was 18 during the filming and he was 19, and we saw Tony's character had a love interest in Maria's character. So it would be logical Bruce's character Cheng was also around that age.
Cheers, mate. I watched all three episodes of Charles interviewing Bey Logan (great viewing)
Thanks Pal 👍
Stripey Rambles please do a Game Of Death II video
I will do, fella 👍
In a 1971 or 1972 interview Bruce was asked about the Big Boss script, BL said, you wouldn't believe how i had to help rewrite the dialogue.
From all accounts The script was scribbled on a few pages & the filming was very haphazard 👍
@@StripeyR Yes, very haphazard to begin with, and out of his 4 5 films his best dialogued written movie followed by the cantonese version of Enter the Dragon which BL helped co-write for the asian release and partly contributed towards the dialogue for the international version. In all honesty the english version of ETD is okay but cartoonish.
two parts you didn't mention that surprised me were the scene where Chen Chao An punches the guy threw the wooden wall and his silouhuette is left on the wall. Bruce hated that but Lo Wei insisted on it. Also, during the same fight scene where they throw 2 knives at Chen but they barely miss his face as he turns towards them. It looked like they shot that backwards.
It did cross my mind to mention the "Road Runner" type punch through the wall, but I knew most would have known this. You're 100% correct, Bruce hated it.
The knives was filmed in reverse, just like the dagger being kicked into the Boss at the end.
Cheers Pal 👍
Another great video Stripey 👍Game Of Death 78 should be interesting
Cheers Pal. The 78 version... Where do I start? 😆Thanks again bud 👍
Man, Stripey if you did a tour of Bruce Lee films sites in Thailand, Rome, Hong Kong, that would be truly epic! 😉👌
I'd love too, bud. My holy grail is Lake View Cemetary in Washington (to pay my respects) Also Hong Kong would be cool. 👍
@@StripeyR Absolutely 🎯💯 Lake View Cemerary, For both Brandon & Bruce. Looking forward to The Crow 4k release in a few weeks.
Hey Stripey, hope your doing well. Do you think you could do a Dance Craze vinyl first play. That would be lovely. Cheers Stripey!
Hey bud. I will at some point. I have a ton of records to review 👍
Nice
The english dub always make me laugh when the villain grabs the pack of drugs from the broken iceblock and says "hand it over" after he's taken it
There's a few dubbing clips in The Big Boss that make me chuckle. The "Hand it Over" is funny 👍
Another great video thank you! Did you ever watch the legend of Bruce lee tv series or the Donnie yen fist of fury tv series? Usually anything Bruce related I will watch but have never explored these just wondered your thoughts? There are film versions of both shows to thank you
Thank you.
I've not seen either, mate. I think I need to pull my finer out 😉
Cheers 👍
Love these Stripey
Thanks bud 👍
There's another obvious one too. The knife that Bruce flicks back at the boss. When Bruce punches the boss and he falls to the ground and Bruce leaps on top of him throwing punches and out of exhaustion lays flat on him but the knife mysteriously has vanished 😂
Maybe he buried the knife further in 😉
Cheers bud 👍
@@StripeyR 👍😆
What's the sound track to the original film and where would I find it ? Gawd bless you
Theres also a few frames missing right at the end when the police drive though the gate. This is apparent in every edit. I was hoping the mandarin cut might fix this but noooo.
I don't think I've ever seen any more frames at the end, mate. The Big Boss has lots of stuff still missing, but, the Mandarin cut is the most complete we've had.
Cheers bud 👍
@@StripeyR watch the police drive in and it jumps forward. Way of the dragon has a missing frame too. After bruce gets knocked down by chuck he gets up and begins the rhythmic style fighting and the music kicks in. Watch his arms and shoulders and it jumps.
Yay i made it to the Premiere
Cheers fella. i appreciate it 👍
please do one on game of death and game of death 2
I'll be gathering Ten Things of Game of Death 78 this week bud. I may do pt 2 (I have loads of videos lined up + I do need to review the film) 👍
Hey Stripey
Re: missing cup
It’s a dart blown into the maids chest not ash. One of the other girls has scars from a number of darts.
Great vid 👌
Cheers Pal.
Darts...Ouch. I mentioned ash because it came from his pipe, but ya probably right. Cheers 👍
@@StripeyR "The Bastard Shot me with Darts" is a line that sprung to mind ... :) yeah it was darts (or at least the English Dub led us to believe ..
There was always one problem I had with this film...Bruce had already broken his promise not to fight during the "4 lousy guys" scene when he hit the 2 guys in the stomach and did that 3 stooges Moe Howard hit while those two guys were behind him without looking at them. This was a small fight that shoo shain was in complete control of winning and didn't need Bruce's help, but he broke his promise pretty quickly and easily for that and jokes about it. So why take so long at the ice factory when his friends were getting slaughtered. If ever there was a time to jump in quick with the promise breaking it was then. I loved the movie, but that part always bothered me a bit.
I'd never thought of that before, fella, but you make a really good point. 👍
They didn't have a script and just made it up as they went along, something which bothered Bruce Lee.
The end fight with the big boss Bruce gets cut on the chest with the knife Bruce licks wound what happened to thar scene 🤔
Originally the big boss was 115 mins long what happened to the 5 mins of missing footage private collector has it no one knows 🤔
They should add all the mistakes in the film as a “Added extra”🤣🤣🤣🤣
Every 80’s movie was pretty much the same.
Cockroaches are a speciality in Thailand 😂😂
They should indeed 😆That would make a fun extra 👍
Cheers pal another cracking episode 👍I'm in two minds of what to think about the cut finger as ive seen & read a lot of which says bruce cut his finger on glass & the other ' which is very cool ' cut it doing his party trick by piercing a full soda can with his finger able to go all the way through both sides & cut it when he pulled it out amazing ,what party trick that would be 😁🤜🫷🐉☯️🐉
Thanks. I heard it was washing a glass, but, the soda can trick sound feasible 👍
@StripeyR such a shame mate that they didn't include the bandage finger on the enterbay boss figure that would of added extra character to the figure 👍
You 🤔 the 🗡 in the girl's chest when her back is to the 🚪where the killer was, You should watch The 5 Deadly Venoms where The Scorpion 🦂 threw his darts into The Toad's 👂 ( straight pointy throwing darts ) without bouncing off the wall or something
I learned Bruce & Lo Leigh COULDN'T STAND Each Other!! The way Bruce was treated in Hollywood as far as a relax atmosphere was concerned, Low - budget Movie 🎬 making in Thailand was Pure HELL to Mr. Lee . I'm sure Bruce didn't like some of fictional fight scenes he did RELUCTANTLY!! But ,as history was made Bruce tolerated another movie with Lo Leigh Fist of Fury ( Chinese Connection)
A boomerang knife 😂
😉👍
