Awesome video Stripey! Still remember seeing the iconic poster of Bruce in the cavern in ETD. Was mesmerised by his image alone and i was only around 6 yo 😅
Hello Stripey. This is my first time commenting as its all abit new to me, Im abit of an old fart(51😁) My Brother, Dave O'Neill, hooked me onto your channel. And can I say, what a Result!!! Im still playing catch up, but your videos, research, and insight is so appreciated. Before I start to Ramble, just a quick..... ramble. My first pair of nunckaku, I bought or traded, I was about 13/14 school lad. Im 99% sure they were made of mahogany(??), dark very heavy wood. Had very crude bored out holes top and one side. Very Ropey bit of rope with two knots. Batons were twined with red electrical tape, and the base of the batons had the ying/yang symbol in tipex and black marker. They were Amazing!!!! What were your first Nunchuks Stripey? Love the work. God Bless.
Thank you. I'm glad you're enjoying the content, mate. My very first Nunchaku, was a broom cut in half & possibly a dog chain holing the batons together (they didn't last long😆) I was very lucky, there was a Martial Arts market stand, that sold Chucks & Bruce Lee stuff. He still has a shop in town, I've know him 40+ years now. Cheers Pal 👍
Another great episode very informative mate I've got the replica game nunchaku plus suit bracelet and trainers very cool .the sets of nunchaku Bruce used in his movies look awesome.all the best Pete
Great video again Stripey. How great would it be to own a piece of history that Bruce actually used, amazing. It's always a chance when buying something like this, check, double check and check again! Have never seen any photos of Bob Wall with Bruce on the G.O.D set so I would say that this may not be true. We know Bob had a tendency to tell a porky or two! Those yellow nunchuks from the Hong Kong Bruce Lee Club would look fab on the wall😊 Funnily I'm in the middle of doing a jigsaw, with the image Milton Wong painted of Bruce holding the nunchuks from WOTD. Go for it Stripey, you know you want to😊. I really enjoyed this video, I wonder where all Bruce's nunchuks are now!? Thanks Stripey ☺️✌️
Thank you. I (like I said many times in the video) am very skeptical about these. I doubt Bob Wall was given GOD chucks but Bruce, he wasn't even there. I will get a replica set (for the wall) 👍 Milton Wong is a superb artist, enjoy the puzzle 👍
I don't believe it either but wooden nunchaku were certainly used in one scene. George Lee made multiple set's of nunchaku for Game Of Death and Bruce broke some during filming but he also gave them away to some friends visiting the set. That's all the information I have found out so far.
Thanks Stripey my friend! This is exactly the sort of video that I was hoping you'd come up with, great work! I think on The Final GOD they mention a wooden pair for close ups were used? I currently own two sets of the wooden GOD Nunchaku and they are my favourite items. I've recently had a go at making ETD style Chucks, wrapping the wood in black vinyl and am quite happy with the result. Treat yourself to those GOD Chucks and keep up the great work. Thanks
My pleasure, mate. It's an interesting subject & already in the comments I'm getting a little fact checked (I'm cool with that tho) I definitely want to pick up some kind of GOD replica chucks (for the wall) Cheers Pal 👍
Very cool. I TOTALLY remember seeing that scene in GreenHornet and I thought "Wow! the first published scene of nunchuku for Bruce!". So it was truly something consistent in his life, and as we all know Dan introduced them to him, or maybe didn't introduced but help learn the forms? Anyhow, very cool vid. Maybe one day I'll stand in front of these chucks displayed at whichever museums.
Love the way you commentate on your vids stripey...i recently got rid of my hk legends bruce lee movies as didnt see the need to keep them since i have the bruce lee box set in 4k...great content and learning new things about bruce thanks to your insight
Another great video. Thanks....How about a video about the 3 different sneakers during the filming of "Game of Death" in 1972?That is also a very talked theme...I have read in the late 90's and early 00's on the "BruceLeeDivineWind" forum that Linda sold most of his original nunchucks, sneakers, clothes, glasses and such, on an auctions in the mid 90's...Most items, circling around, are all replicas. And some of the true, original items, are still with Linda and Shannon...Cheers.
Thanks, pal. That could be an interesting topic "Training Shoes" These a lot of bootleg, replicas & forged Bruce items doing the rounds, you have to be really careful when buying this stuff 👍
Great video Stripey. I’m very sceptical just like you especially about these items that end up at auction houses. I hear Bob Wall sold his ETD gi 🥋 several times so no surprise Bruce gave him a set of nunchakus from a film he wasn’t apart of 🤣
@@StripeyR I heard something on a podcast. Don’t know if he went to jail but I’m think he was being prosecuted for something or another. Was it something to do with real estate. Might not be true. All the search results I am getting are about his death. I know I wouldn’t trust a word he said 🤣
Super video, Stripey. Really interesting and informative. Imagine having a pair of those hung up on the wall. I went to a Seni in 2008 where Linda and Shannon attended, with the Bruce Lee museum. Lots of amazing items, including the suit he wore while visiting his mother and sisters graves in Enter The Dragon.
Nice one Stripey another great vid....as in the the words of ' Big Boss ' remember your promise ! ....about the enter the dragon routine. Get the nunchucks dusted down 😊😉
Great video as always! I've often wondered what happened to the nunchucks Bruce used in his movies. I always thought Shannon and Linda had them, so thank you for enlightening me. I'm pretty sure the nunchucks in Game Of Death are not wooden, so I think Bob Wall is telling porkies lol 🤣
Hi stripey Another excellent video mate. Really enjoyed it again. Thanks mate Yes Bob wall what he says we have to take with not a pinch of salt but a ton of salt. Cheers mate.
Great video Stripey. Bruce Lee got me into Nunchakus. Still got 3 pairs that I bought in 84, Liverpool Chinatown. GOD plastic one's, that the chains is broken and two sets of wooden one's, one chain one string. I much prefer swinging the string ones. Ninja silent they are, though I ain't swung them for many years 🤣 Thanks for another great video mate.
Really interesting video Stripey. I did comment to Charles Damiano that there is a kung fu monthly edition that featured a photo of the editor standing in Gerrard Street, London, holding a set of hardwood nunchakus that were said to be the ones used in ' Fist of fury'. It gave all the details of length of club and chain. I'm still trying to find the issue that its featured in. I'll let you and Charles know when I do. I have two sets of hardwood nunchakus. One is a 'Game of Death' replica with a picture of Bruce in his GOD suit printed on each club. These were given to me by my Wing Chun Sifu . The other set I bought off Clive Parkinson when he was world Lau Gar Kung fu champion. These are black and have a universal swivel link and resemble the ETD nunchaku and they are quite heavy.
Really enjoyed the video, Stripey. One day, I hope to own something of Bruce’s: a letter or piece of equipment but I agree with you: I don’t trust auctions or COAs (especially not from Mr Wall!). Unless I could buy it from the Lee estate directly or it could be verified independently I’d stay well away.
They are 31cm in length and the chain is 21cm. I love practicing with them, Bruce would pleased to know. I met Danny Insanto here in London in 1975 at the Bruce Lee convention at Westminster Hall and we discussed the Nunchucku. I also Bruce's mother and brother Robert. They were all delightful! 😊
Another great video Stripey 👍🏻 very amusing on HK Legends issue... due to your previous videos on your collection, i decided to get to do the same thing! I used to have the original dvds back when we're released in the uk, so i bought the set platinums on ebay (brand new and sealed). Arrived today and turns out my Big Boss and Fist of Fury have no slipcover 😂 bugger!!! Just cant win when it comes to having a solid collection... oh well. One more thing mate. Would you do a indepth video on what you think of supposed lost scenes maybe out there of Bruce's films? You do know our Bruce. We all know theres missing scenes from ETD and maybe Big Boss. Many thanks Stripey
Great Topic 👍🏽 Stripey and well documented...as always 😉. I believe that Bob Wall's nunchuks are as "real and unique" as his "real and unique" yellow ETD outfit...which he has sold countless times 😂 (with a very "rare" photos from the set and his real and unique friendship with his pal Bruce) Holy Bob!
Ahhhh, HKL. Definitely lived up to the 'legend' moniker. The only weakness these releases had was the PQ-it wasn't up to the Fortune Star US releases. The extras more than made up for it though. Great vid about the nunchaku, Stripey. I always had a few extra links to the chain to lengthen the reach on my 'Bruce'-style nunchaku. Much more authentic-looking
Hi Stripey Great video. I just watch some footage of Sharon tates funeral a few months back and bruce was featured briefly surely someone has more footage on this that would a good topic.👍
Excellent video. Just think your video would've been heavily cut by James Ferman for showing the illegal weapon. Even Dragnet (1987) was cut just for showing Enter the Dragon poster! Shots from No Retreat No Surrender (1985) where the teenager unrolls a Bruce Lee holding a pair of nunchucks was cut. Thankfully we now live in enlightened times, well we started to after his retirement.
I was somewhat disappointed as a film editor to import Bruce doing his Nunchucku demonstration in ETD, where I knew for years it was the same display from two different angles made to extend the scene. When I overlaid them in Premiere, I found they were at different frame rates and were sped up. They could not match one another. Shame to find that out. Still, a great scene.
Wow, I've never done this in Premiere (I may have a look at some point) It could make an interesting video (I may pi*s some people off tho) Thanks bud 👍
Great stuff once more Stripey, really interesting to see how much these things go for at auction. can you imagine splashing out $40-50k though for a pair?! Yikes!! I still own a set which are black heavy rosewood with a ball bearing swivel chain assembly (8 inch chain I think) that I bought from a now long gone martial arts supply shop in Edinburgh. They are very heavy though, and hurt like hell when I used to clobber myself when practising with them! LOL! Now, did Bob Wall receive a pair from Bruce in 1972 on Game Of Death? I seriously doubt it, given how full of bs ol' Bob was. Did make me laugh though....Cheers Pal!
Thanks, mate. They go for a lot of money but like I mention in the video, I'd be skeptical these are all legit, especially the Bob Wall ones. Be careful with those wooden chucks, they hurt... I know 😵 Thanks bud 👍
@@StripeyR Yeah, I'm always a bit suspicious of online auction authenticity, especially as I worked as a fraud investigator in the banking sector, so I kinda know which signals to look out for. I've not used mine in a while, they're really more of an ornament now. I did rattle me noggin a few times with them however, and my elbows too! LOL! Be well pal!
Interesting video .i never knew how many there were .have you thought a siloet of bruce on wall behind you one side and nunchks on other .sorry spelling col
Morning Stripey from Glasgow. Loved that video , really interesting . I was mad about the nunchakus in the early 80s and bought a few ...got quite good at them . id love to have had a chance to bid at an auction for one of those . Thanks for a genuinely fascinating take on these relics. Any chance of doing one about the iconic yellow and black tracksuit? I bought a couple for my kids to use but really I wanted to wear one ( too fat now LOL)
Cheers, mate. I could at some point make a video on the tracksuits (that could be cool). I have also been asked to make a video on Bruce's trainers. I have the yellow pair of Onitsuka Tigers. I also have the GOD top (as you've seen hanging in my office) but I daren't get the bottoms or the whole jumpsuit 🤣😂 Thanks Pal 👍
@@StripeyR I’ve heard it was nearly a black one with yellow stripes but got changed at the last minute because a footprint of Kareem Abdul Jabbar wouldn’t show up on camera . I know the suit or at least one of them went for auction a few years ago . I think you showed a still from the auction . Cheers again
I practice two Nunchucku's daily. Their both strong and rubber. Using one you can do more. With 2 Nunchucku's you can't do as many moves. Allow me to demo for your interest!
Very informative video. Just my opinion, I'm not totally convinced that some of those auction pieces are what they've claimed to be. Also, the "Way Of The Dragon" replicas look way too big. We should keep in mind that Bruce Lee was only 5' 7". I think what makes the original, "Way" nunchaku look so big is the padding. They do look to have more padding than the others. To my eye, they look to be the same kind of stick used as the pairs made for "Enter The Dragon". Just my opinion.
Nice video as always, Stripey. I thought I'd completed my HKL collection, now you tell me there's a GOD 30th anniversary edition?! I tell you what mate, you got that for a great price. When I looked on eBay just now, there was just one I could see and it's £40. I've got the 30th anniversary of WotD on its way to me though.
Thanks fella. It's a HKL mindfield, mate. I did get a good price on GOD 30th (very lucky) & GoD 2 30th Is WotD the 2 disc or single? I need to get the single, then Boss & Fist (but they can wait...for now) Cheers Pal 👍
I agree with you on the game of death nunchucks no wooden ones used from what i see. i have spent yrs trying to get replicas of all the nunchucks he used but apart from the game of death ones i have never found anyone selling exact replicas. so i ended up making my own, trying to figure the swivel systems took some time but finally got some good shots to be able to get as close to (as far as i can tell) the swivels used on the enter and way ones. So i have made a good few sets on enter, way and game of death ones all usable, still making them as i try to improve each set oh! and they are not wooden ones so uasable and safe. The way ones are a bit of a challange as i have not figured how to make them as chunky as they should be but will keep trying. pity i cant post pics. I am still not sure on the heritage auction ones as the swivel system is not correct, maybe they were made but neve used. Excellent video as always.
Thank you, mate. I think I need to get into making my own Chucks. I've not made a set since the early 80s (my poor mums broom lol) You can always send me an email with the pics, fella. My emails is in the about page on my channel 👍
Hey Stripey I thought about the Bruce lee Biopic that was released in 2016 Birth of dragon can you do a video about it, even the Dragon the Bruce Lee story as well 1993
Hey bud. I will do, I've just re-watched The Young Bruce Lee aka Bruce Lee, My Brother & I absolutely loved it. I may review a few of the Bruce Lee bio's at some point, including Birth of the Dragon & Dragon the Bruce Lee Story Cheers Pal 👍
Superb video Stripey, and excellent information as well. I totally agree that the Bob Wall GOD chucks are fake. As are the last ones from Enter the Dragon since your photos clearly show them covered in vinyl and not wood. All four Enter nunchuks are seen all together in one shot only when Bruce has his back to the prison bars. Stupid story for you. I went to the Seni show in 2014 after working a 12 hour night shift so arrived after lunchtime. Paid £15 parking and walked around the ExCell centre for half an hour before finding I was at the wrong venue. Seni used the same poster as the previous year and I didn't realise. Missed not only the Bruce display but an excellent demo by SGM Danny Guba of Doce Pares with who I was training with at the time. To say I was pissed off doesn't come close.😠
Great research Stripey 😊 I still have the hexagonal wooden nunchakus I bought in 🤔 1977 🤔 hanging up in the home gym. I used to do the ETD routine too, but it's been a long time since I last tried. I don't believe Bob Wall's claim either. The GOD nunchakus were super light and like you said, where are the photos of Bob Wall on set or authenticated records that he was there. He was always hanging around Bruce whenever he could for fame by association and a chance to make some money out of the relationship (just like RC), so where's the evidence?
Thanks, mate. I think you need to give those chucks a spin (summers almost here) 😉 I think Bob was full of Sh*t. The more I learn (from the comments mostly) the more I agree he was a very lucky hanger on 👍
The wooden nunchaku from GOD were actually used in one shot only when they were dropped to the floor and I do believe them to be genuine. I've owned a set of the original Game Of Death nunchaku prop from George Lee's private collection for many years so am inevitably fascinated by the subject.
Interesting, was the drop to the floor in the 72 Bruce Lee shot or the 78 Robert Clouse film? It's must be amazing to have a pair created by George Lee. That's so cool 😎 Cheers 👍
theGOD scene with the "drop" is the 1978 pair ! The Green Hornet ones are still in the hands of collector Perry Lee . All others here are fake . The FOF vinyl set just went for USD 165.000 ! The SENI ITEMS , including the signatures etc all fake . courtesy of a certain American BL historian . Barrington Plaza were vinyl , not wooden. I will send some info to your Twitter !
@@StripeyR That is a question I've been pondering myself for many years. Studying the footage now available I strongly suspect that the wooden nunchaku dropping to the floor scene is from 1978 so not originally part of GOD, would love to be proven wrong though. I took part in George Lee's first ever auction and was attempting to buy Bruce's personal nunchaku but was outbid, George offered me the only other nunchaku he had, he was very concerned that the were a prop and that I wouldn't understand. George did stipulate that the were not screen used and were simply a set he had kept for posterity.
@@user-lk3gr2ju1x Please do, even better send info to my email (I hardly go on twitter, it sends me down rabbit holes) Any information on this is appreciated 👍
Great video Stripey ! If you want to see an unbeleivable video, look at one called "Enter The Dragon Cast - Then and Now". The thumbnail has Jim Kelly supposedly aged into an elderley WHITE man ! My comment is the first one on there ! You will not beleive your ears and eyes !
Bob had a confused memory I feel .. its not the first time I had seen him make claims simlair to this when he was selling a ETD Gi which was clearly a re-made one when compared .. The GOD nunchaku were covered with material and imo never wooden.. maybe in the 78 version .. Wall was never on that set ,
Stripey great video! Thanks for the plugs and kind words! Keep up the great work! See you Friday for more Bruce Lee fun!
Thank you! It's my pleasure bud. See you Friday Charles 👍
@@StripeyRthanks buddy see you then!
When I met Jim Kelly at a convention in Anaheim, he *did* mention that he had gotten black nunchaku from Bruce!
Awesome, mate. i'm glad you cleared that up for me 👍
I wouldn't believe a word that Bob wall says after the stuff he's said after Bruce passed away 😞
Bob full of shit 💩
Hi stripey. Another great video 👍 fantastic.!!! We all know Bob wall B.S. 😅 enjoy your day my friend.
Thanks, mate. Bob was quite a character 😳 😂
Cheers pal 👍
Hi Stripey. Great channel and video's, well done! Probably the most factual and informative posts of Bruce I've seen in years. Keep going!
Thank you. I try, mate, but I can only go on the info I find on the web. It's in the comments we usually get to the truth. 👍
Awesome video Stripey! Still remember seeing the iconic poster of Bruce in the cavern in ETD. Was mesmerised by his image alone and i was only around 6 yo 😅
Thanks, mate. That's still one of my fav posters of Bruce 👍
It's really great thanks a lot
How about that medalion in the Big Boss? It's so valuable now, that no one thought about keeping it. Probably in the trashcan in Thailand then.
That would be priceless 👍

I saw the three piece suit as well. It was Bruce's own as there are photos of him wearing it at party with Raymond Chow. And it was really small.
How could the Bob Wall claim be doubted? I mean he is a bad-ass as he even said that he slap blocked Bruce Lee’s famous side kick.
😆😅🤣👍
Great video! Thanks. I was wondering if you would make a similar video about the shoes he wore in the different movies...
Thank you. maybe, mate, that's not a bad idea 👍
Fantastic video with great information Stripey thank you as always. Your new studio looks amazing.

Would you do a indepth video on what you think of supposed lost scenes maybe out there of Bruce's films? You do know our Bruce. We all know theres missing scenes from ETD and maybe Big Boss. Many thanks Stripey
Great Topic 👍🏽 Stripey and well documented...as always 😉.
I believe that Bob Wall's nunchuks are as "real and unique" as his "real and unique" yellow ETD outfit...which he has sold countless times 😂 (with a very "rare" photos from the set and his real and unique friendship with his pal Bruce)
Holy Bob!
🤣😂 Thanks Pal 👍
Ahhhh, HKL. Definitely lived up to the 'legend' moniker. The only weakness these releases had was the PQ-it wasn't up to the Fortune Star US releases. The extras more than made up for it though. Great vid about the nunchaku, Stripey. I always had a few extra links to the chain to lengthen the reach on my 'Bruce'-style nunchaku. Much more authentic-looking
No, Jim Kelly did not use nunchucks in black belt Jones. He used a rubber hose.
Awesome!
Thank you Stripey.
As always, mate 😉
Cheers pal 👍
Hi Stripey Great video. I just watch some footage of Sharon tates funeral a few months back and bruce was featured briefly surely someone has more footage on this that would a good topic.👍
I did a video a few months ago about Bruce & Sharon Tate, mate czcams.com/video/n6Ex3jdvR2o/video.html 👍
Great video mate! Nothing better than Bruce Lee working chucks!!❤
Excellent video.
Just think your video would've been heavily cut by James Ferman for showing the illegal weapon.
Even Dragnet (1987) was cut just for showing Enter the Dragon poster!
Shots from No Retreat No Surrender (1985) where the teenager unrolls a Bruce Lee holding a pair of nunchucks was cut.
Thankfully we now live in enlightened times, well we started to after his retirement.
Thank you. You're 100% correct Mr. Ferman wouldn't approve 👍
I was somewhat disappointed as a film editor to import Bruce doing his Nunchucku demonstration in ETD, where I knew for years it was the same display from two different angles made to extend the scene. When I overlaid them in Premiere, I found they were at different frame rates and were sped up. They could not match one another. Shame to find that out. Still, a great scene.
Wow, I've never done this in Premiere (I may have a look at some point) It could make an interesting video (I may pi*s some people off tho)
Thanks bud 👍
@@StripeyR Cheers. It only proves that speed ramping took place in editing for ETD, so it brings up more doubts.
I have to agree, I don’t buy Bob Wall’s story. Fascinating video from start to finish!
Thank you 👍
Great Memories 👍🏽
I read somewhere that the Game of death Nunchuks were made from leather, Sand filled with a yellow cord. I maybe wrong
I’m not calling the late Bob Wall a liar, but … wait. Yes I am.
🤣😂
Great stuff once more Stripey, really interesting to see how much these things go for at auction. can you imagine splashing out $40-50k though for a pair?! Yikes!! I still own a set which are black heavy rosewood with a ball bearing swivel chain assembly (8 inch chain I think) that I bought from a now long gone martial arts supply shop in Edinburgh. They are very heavy though, and hurt like hell when I used to clobber myself when practising with them! LOL! Now, did Bob Wall receive a pair from Bruce in 1972 on Game Of Death? I seriously doubt it, given how full of bs ol' Bob was. Did make me laugh though....Cheers Pal!
Thanks, mate. They go for a lot of money but like I mention in the video, I'd be skeptical these are all legit, especially the Bob Wall ones.
Be careful with those wooden chucks, they hurt... I know 😵
Thanks bud 👍
@@StripeyR Yeah, I'm always a bit suspicious of online auction authenticity, especially as I worked as a fraud investigator in the banking sector, so I kinda know which signals to look out for. I've not used mine in a while, they're really more of an ornament now. I did rattle me noggin a few times with them however, and my elbows too! LOL! Be well pal!
Excellent Job as usual!!!
Interesting video .i never knew how many there were .have you thought a siloet of bruce on wall behind you one side and nunchks on other .sorry spelling col
Morning Stripey from Glasgow. Loved that video , really interesting . I was mad about the nunchakus in the early 80s and bought a few ...got quite good at them . id love to have had a chance to bid at an auction for one of those . Thanks for a genuinely fascinating take on these relics. Any chance of doing one about the iconic yellow and black tracksuit? I bought a couple for my kids to use but really I wanted to wear one ( too fat now LOL)
Cheers, mate. I could at some point make a video on the tracksuits (that could be cool). I have also been asked to make a video on Bruce's trainers. I have the yellow pair of Onitsuka Tigers.
I also have the GOD top (as you've seen hanging in my office) but I daren't get the bottoms or the whole jumpsuit 🤣😂
Thanks Pal 👍
@@StripeyR I’ve heard it was nearly a black one with yellow stripes but got changed at the last minute because a footprint of Kareem Abdul Jabbar wouldn’t show up on camera .
I know the suit or at least one of them went for auction a few years ago . I think you showed a still from the auction .
Cheers again
I practice two Nunchucku's daily. Their both strong and rubber. Using one you can do more. With 2 Nunchucku's you can't do as many moves. Allow me to demo for your interest!
Very informative video. Just my opinion, I'm not totally convinced that some of those auction pieces are what they've claimed to be. Also, the "Way Of The Dragon" replicas look way too big. We should keep in mind that Bruce Lee was only 5' 7". I think what makes the original, "Way" nunchaku look so big is the padding. They do look to have more padding than the others. To my eye, they look to be the same kind of stick used as the pairs made for "Enter The Dragon". Just my opinion.
I can't wait to watch this video with the sound on - my wife wouldn't appreciate it if I turned the volume up at bedtime 😂
Thanks Pal. I've bought you're book for my hol's, looking forward to it 👍
@@StripeyR Thanks Stripey, I Hope you enjoy it 😃 Have a great time 👍🏼
@@martinschell4212 Thanks pal 👍
Nice video as always, Stripey.
I thought I'd completed my HKL collection, now you tell me there's a GOD 30th anniversary edition?! I tell you what mate, you got that for a great price. When I looked on eBay just now, there was just one I could see and it's £40.
I've got the 30th anniversary of WotD on its way to me though.
Thanks fella.
It's a HKL mindfield, mate. I did get a good price on GOD 30th (very lucky) & GoD 2 30th
Is WotD the 2 disc or single? I need to get the single, then Boss & Fist (but they can wait...for now)
Cheers Pal 👍
@@StripeyR It's the 2 disc, just woke up to find it's been delivered.
Still think the Bruce Lee estate are holding stuff back on Bruce and some game of death footage.
More than likely, fella 👍
I agree with you on the game of death nunchucks no wooden ones used from what i see. i have spent yrs trying to get replicas of all the nunchucks he used but apart from the game of death ones i have never found anyone selling exact replicas. so i ended up making my own, trying to figure the swivel systems took some time but finally got some good shots to be able to get as close to (as far as i can tell) the swivels used on the enter and way ones. So i have made a good few sets on enter, way and game of death ones all usable, still making them as i try to improve each set oh! and they are not wooden ones so uasable and safe. The way ones are a bit of a challange as i have not figured how to make them as chunky as they should be but will keep trying. pity i cant post pics. I am still not sure on the heritage auction ones as the swivel system is not correct, maybe they were made but neve used. Excellent video as always.
Thank you, mate. I think I need to get into making my own Chucks. I've not made a set since the early 80s (my poor mums broom lol) You can always send me an email with the pics, fella. My emails is in the about page on my channel 👍
Hey Stripey I thought about the Bruce lee Biopic that was released in 2016 Birth of dragon can you do a video about it, even the Dragon the Bruce Lee story as well 1993
Hey bud. I will do, I've just re-watched The Young Bruce Lee aka Bruce Lee, My Brother & I absolutely loved it.
I may review a few of the Bruce Lee bio's at some point, including Birth of the Dragon & Dragon the Bruce Lee Story
Cheers Pal 👍
Superb video Stripey, and excellent information as well. I totally agree that the Bob Wall GOD chucks are fake. As are the last ones from Enter the Dragon since your photos clearly show them covered in vinyl and not wood. All four Enter nunchuks are seen all together in one shot only when Bruce has his back to the prison bars. Stupid story for you. I went to the Seni show in 2014 after working a 12 hour night shift so arrived after lunchtime. Paid £15 parking and walked around the ExCell centre for half an hour before finding I was at the wrong venue. Seni used the same poster as the previous year and I didn't realise. Missed not only the Bruce display but an excellent demo by SGM Danny Guba of Doce Pares with who I was training with at the time. To say I was pissed off doesn't come close.😠
Thanks Pal. You're Seni tale 😭I think I would have been pis*ed too.
Cheers 👍
Great research Stripey 😊 I still have the hexagonal wooden nunchakus I bought in 🤔 1977 🤔 hanging up in the home gym. I used to do the ETD routine too, but it's been a long time since I last tried. I don't believe Bob Wall's claim either. The GOD nunchakus were super light and like you said, where are the photos of Bob Wall on set or authenticated records that he was there. He was always hanging around Bruce whenever he could for fame by association and a chance to make some money out of the relationship (just like RC), so where's the evidence?
Thanks, mate. I think you need to give those chucks a spin (summers almost here) 😉
I think Bob was full of Sh*t. The more I learn (from the comments mostly) the more I agree he was a very lucky hanger on 👍
Ah i actually own a pair of the hong hong bruce lee club, there busted up and their plastic with a fabric wrap.
Ah, thanks for letting me know. I think I'll avoid them then. cheers 👍
Tagged you in a video I shared. Let me know if you see it.
I did go to that seni event in London and saw all that stuff at there Bruce museum…I think bob was talking shit again lol
The wooden nunchaku from GOD were actually used in one shot only when they were dropped to the floor and I do believe them to be genuine.
I've owned a set of the original Game Of Death nunchaku prop from George Lee's private collection for many years so am inevitably fascinated by the subject.
Interesting, was the drop to the floor in the 72 Bruce Lee shot or the 78 Robert Clouse film?
It's must be amazing to have a pair created by George Lee. That's so cool 😎
Cheers 👍
theGOD scene with the "drop" is the 1978 pair ! The Green Hornet ones are still in the hands of collector Perry Lee . All others here are fake . The FOF vinyl set just went for USD 165.000 ! The SENI ITEMS , including the signatures etc all fake . courtesy of a certain American BL historian . Barrington Plaza were vinyl , not wooden. I will send some info to your Twitter !
@@StripeyR That is a question I've been pondering myself for many years.
Studying the footage now available I strongly suspect that the wooden nunchaku dropping to the floor scene is from 1978 so not originally part of GOD, would love to be proven wrong though.
I took part in George Lee's first ever auction and was attempting to buy Bruce's personal nunchaku but was outbid, George offered me the only other nunchaku he had, he was very concerned that the were a prop and that I wouldn't understand.
George did stipulate that the were not screen used and were simply a set he had kept for posterity.
@@user-lk3gr2ju1x Please do, even better send info to my email (I hardly go on twitter, it sends me down rabbit holes)
Any information on this is appreciated 👍
Hey stripey, which bruce lee dvd releases is the best?
Hey bud. I'd humbly say the Hong Kong Legends DVDs are pretty cool 👍
The only wooden nunchaku from GOD was in the shot where “Billy” drops them over a dead Pasqual that was filmed in 1978.
Great video Stripey ! If you want to see an unbeleivable video, look at one called "Enter The Dragon Cast - Then and Now". The thumbnail has Jim Kelly supposedly aged into an elderley WHITE man ! My comment is the first one on there ! You will not beleive your ears and eyes !
Thank you, I'll check it out 👍
Bob had a confused memory I feel .. its not the first time I had seen him make claims simlair to this when he was selling a ETD Gi which was clearly a re-made one when compared ..
The GOD nunchaku were covered with material and imo never wooden.. maybe in the 78 version .. Wall was never on that set ,
He sold his ETD GI a few times, mate.
I feel the same way about the GOD chucks, the 78 version, but not Bruce's 72 footage.
Cheers Pal 👍
Well done Stripey , another excellent video . As for Bob Wall , he's full of shite
Good stuff man. I’m not sure who is more full of shit, Beerdy or Bob Wall! The yellow ones from GOD looked like foam all the way.
Cheers bud. Bob was full of it. 👍
