What a personality he had. Could charm the birds from the trees, and such presence. Bruce is the kind of guy that could sell fridges to the Eskimo's. Thanks for a great video.
@@axelstone3131 from-BL-forum : "Over the past few years we’ve learned a lot about Bruce Lee. We now know he was a heavy coke user, amongst other drugs. And we also know that his coolie Bob Baker was importing these illicit drugs into Hong Kong for him. The letters hint at not just usage on Bruce’s part, but also distribution. After all, Bruce merely saw the film industry as a “side business”. Now if Bruce was distributing in Hong Kong, who would he be operating through? No doubt his local Triad connections. We already know that many extras on ETD were triads or affiliated. Bruce was friends with Chan Wai Man who was a known Triad boss. And I’ve been told in Hong Kong by former friends of Bolo that he was also a known triad in the 70’s and 80’s. One of the people who told me this remembers introducing Bolo to another friend, a local police officer. This police officer was also a Triad member (a very common phenomenon in the 70’s) but from a rival group to Bolo’s. Bolo got pissed off, and his friendship with my source was over. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bruce was using people like Chan Wai Man and Bolo to distribute the goods in Hong Kong at the time. Bolo has turned down so many movie roles over the past 30 years. Has anyone wondered, how has he been able to afford to live in Los Angeles and support his family for the last 30 years without doing a single film role or regular job? He sure as hell didn’t become wealthy enough to accomplish that from his C grade Hong Kong films. And I doubt he has made that much from his appearances in Bloodsport and Double Impact. He’s always been a very private person (ie secretive). Why still no autobiography or book from him after all these years? What’s there to hide? And why was his son so quick to shut down a fan made documentary on Bolo just recently? I’ve heard a few other stories about Bolo from reliable sources ie people who have worked with him, but I won’t share those here. Anyway just some food for thought, for those who enjoy speculating on such matters…"
That's a beautiful review of the Interview. I saw that interview many times in the past and I'm always amazed at how charismatic he was. Thank you for keeping Bruce's memory alive 😊🤘
Great review guys. I get the impression that Pierre was just expecting “a karate man enjoying his five minutes of fame” but got far more than that with Bruce.
Thanks for the precious video sifu, this interview has changed my life forever since I was in my teens. It was the first time I realized Bruce was fluent in speaking English, being shocked especially after watching the hillbilly image he acted in "The Way of the Dragon". He was handsome, charismatic & knowledgeable, it has driven me to learn & master my English, dive deeply into Krishnamurti's teachings & always remain studious in anything. Btw, Mao had become a fan of Lee after Lee's passing, some of Lee's movies were imported into mainland China as what you mentioned in this video. Happy 84th birthday to our huge inspiration & idol Bruce Lee as well! ❤
I expect I bought my VHS copy of the interview around the same time that you did, albeit here in the UK. It came in this stylish, yin/yang embossed black case which didn't open in the traditional way. Instead of just clicking it open, the lid was split in two halves which separated and flipped open horizontally like wings. Very cool. Also, at 1:10:50 it's clear that the topic of Brandon is somewhat upsetting for you. It cuts deep for me as well. I remember that I'd just finished reading my second biography of Bruce - Linda (and Tom's!) 'The Bruce Lee Story' - which mentions at the very end how Brandon was now grown up and pursuing an acting career. I became very excited finding this out and almost immediately afterwards, a huge cardboard cut out of Showdown in Little Tokyo appeared in my local video store's window - synchronicity in action. I was fourteen in 1991 and the pervasive feeling was that unlike with his dad, I'd been born at just the right time to get to watch Brandon's star rise. I'm sure it doesn't seem as stupid and corny to you as it may to others reading this, but there was a real elation followed by a sense of being one inch punched in the gut two years later. 30+ years on and it still makes me sad pondering what could have been. Oh, and if you haven't read it already, get Bill Allen's 'My Rad Career', for many stories about Brandon. Be warned though, there's a really way out one concerning the funeral.
I can hear the emotion in your voice when you speak about Bruce. When I hear Bruce speak or watch his movies, I always think WHAT IF he was alive longer. Crazy to see how much he accomplished in life in such a short space of time. Legends do die young. 😔
Another great episode. Love the way you break down the interview and interpret it with a deeper understanding. The man was a GENIUS. I wish he lived longer to do more interviews. It would have been nice to see him on Johnny Carson, He was a great host, interviewer.
Like you, KFG, I've watched this so many times, I literally know the dialogue (just as I do all of Bruce's movies 😎😁). The thing that jumps out at me whenever I watch this, is Bruce's intensity and presence. You can see and feel his energy when he speaks. It's hard to take your eyes off of him. As a hardcore Bruce Lee fan, I, too, have wondered what it would have been like had Bruce been with us longer. I can't think on it too much because the feeling of disappointment gets me feeling some kinda way. RIP Lee Xiao Long 👊🏾☯️👊🏾
Great great episode . Really gtreat discussion and humour and reverance . I love that your not a head in the clouds Lee fan , but I could really see your love and admiration and inspiration at the same time! .
Merci beaucoup pour vos commentaires, vos analyses, sur cette interview. En France , personne ne l' avait encore analysée. Merci Alex, merci à toute l'équipe. Bon rétablissement à Mikey. Take care ! Pierre Berton a servi pendant près de quatre ans dans l'armée canadienne pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale et est l'auteur de The Invasion of Canada et de Flames Across the Border. Il a écrit un livre sur la ville de Vimy (pas de calais, France) où des soldats Canadiens (entre autres) se sont battus pendant la première guerre mondiale. David
Thank you, another great podcast. This brings back memories of getting the VHS tape in the mail. Crazy, back then, it cost 50USD a pop and now, its free on UA-cam.
Thanks Sifu, I also acquired the VHS tape many moons ago. I was struck by his humor, and just one of the guys kind of demeanor. In any interview he never bragged that he considers himself a great martial artist. Half a century later, the world over…. Many consider him among the greats, including top MMA champions.
I got the UK VHS, which was just called "Interview With Bruce Lee" from HMV, Barnsley (1994?). It was promoted I remember on Channel 4's "The Big Breakfast" one morning... which is how I knew to run off and pounce on it. VHS also padded out with a James Coburn interview. The cover is a cool gold and black, still have it, love it.
This was a real treat, the genius got emotional when talking about brandon lee, you should do a episode about brandon in the New year. Great episode Guys. 😊
@13:18 Bertons announcer says “December the 9th , 1971” the Take Slate lists it like “9/12/71” because it’s in the format Day-Month-Year the preferred British format (Back when Hong Kong was a “Crown Colony”), unlike the US format (Month-Day-Year): “12/9/71”.
I always felt that David Carridine was perfect for the role of Cain and Bruce was perfect for the martial arts action movies. Where one needed to be more mellow and peaceful the other had to explode.
Just finished up. Like I said got this VHS tape when it came out like you...and watched it SEVERAL times over the years and can recite alot of it. But I haven't watched this thing in YEARS. This was so cool!! And of course loved the commentary between the pauses. Thanks guys!
I really like this one. Easy to get bogged down in all the sniffed up. He's a vibrant super actor here. I understand the wistful what ifs. He's burning brightest here heading up to his peak. What up Dre.
Pierre Berton wrote over 50 books and was a major popularizer of Canadian History. His books and history shows on Canadian TV made topics like the Klondike Gold Rush or building of the Canadian Pacific Railway seem as exciting as the American Revolution.
I remember when tis came out on VHS in the 90s. I got a copy as soon as it was available. What a treasure. Around that same time History Channel did an episode of Biography on Bruce Lee.
Biography redid that documentary a short time after that because the Lee Estate made them change some things. I have the original version, but I'm not sure what is different.
I had the bootleg of this and the backyard sessions in 1990 from a Bruce Lee convention in London. This was a few years before it became marketed as "The Lost Interview". Pretty sure it was covered in Bey Logan's Combat Magazine even before that. I would guess it was readily available on the underground scene for many years , until someone realised this could be sold for home video.
Sifu Alex it is always a great episodes to talk about Bruce Lee's video interview kindly feature about his Martial Arts on Jeet Kune Do aside from his Wing Chun kung fu thanks a lot
"I MIGHT BREAK MY 🤚!!" Said Bruce when asked of breaking BROADS!! Although " They Don't Hit Back!" They leave a "MARK "if struck wrongly!! Kinda like a poisonous 🐸 if 👐 unprotected
Tuned in a little late. Loved this BL interview btw. I order the VHS tape when it came out like you. And when I got it...just like you...shit my pants. Pierre Burton's voiceover said he was teaching James Coburn, Steve McQueen, James Garner & Lee Marvin. We all know Coburn & McQueen were his students. He taught some stuff to James Garner on the set of MARLOWE (anything outside of that is news to me). But NOWHERE else did I hear he taught Lee Marvin anywhere?
I remember asking if you guys would ever examine this interview, I imagine it was coming up at some point anyway without my mention 🤣 BUT I loved this; I learned a couple of new things too! Thank you, KFG and Dre/Mikey. You guys are awesome! 🐉💯
I’d be fascinated to see an AI altered version of the lost interview in which Bruce Lee’s Cantonese accent is taken out and he speaks with a perfect Seattle accent.
Interesting how he couldn’t get the role for Kung Fu in ‘72 because they thought he was “too Chinese” and yet they had him on 4 episodes of Longstreet in ‘71 (which everybody dug when we saw it) so to me, that shoulda proved even more that he could’ve easily carried his own series?
You bring up an interesting idea. Bruce Lee not making films. I think he would have met his chief aim before 1980 and I could see him stop making films. I could see him stopping at his peak and cementing his legendary status.
Bruce became less humble towards the end of his life :( John Saxon: "In Hong Kong my Wife and I threw a dinner party in a restaurant, inviting Bruce and his Wife, and Raymond Chow. I also invited Jay Tunney, who was doing business in Hong Kong, and his wife and introduced them all to each other. Early on during dinner I casually mentioned that Jay was one of Gene Tunney's sons, the Gene Tunney who had been the Heavy Weight Boxing Champ of the World, and if my memory holds, defeated Jack Dempsey. A short while later Bruce said to Jay: 'I could have taken your Father! I have four weapons, he only had two'. And I cringed." "Cocaine is a hell of a drug" (Rick James). Seeing how the drugs affected Bruce's personality as he neared the end of his life is so tragic.
I think it’s time to stop going on about Bruce’s behaviour or traits. Why would you think he didn’t have the same sort of behaviours as other people? So what if he said that. Everyone at some point or another has said stuff out of turn.
Yeah, it’s always a red flag when people moralize about other people‘s character and whether they are “humble or not“ (oh the irony of people saying other people are not humble is always lost on the people who write those statements). Did Bruce Lee take drugs? Yes, that is a fact. What is the implication of that? These guys in the comments seem to have that completely figured out. I would love to have the level of omniscience that these guys have about Bruce Lee‘s personal character! I’m sure all of these people who moralize about Bruce are fine upstanding people because that’s what fine upstanding people do - they moralize anonymously in comments on UA-cam.
How great was that. Now I've seen the entire interview and had the pleasure of hearing your thoughts in between about what Bruce said. Also seeing the reverence you both have for Bruce is obvious. And Berton's lack of understanding many things Bruce said. But that was just indicative of the occidental ignorance about martial arts there and then at that time. The west didn't know Gung Fu. That only happened after Enter The Dragon. My early teenager years in 1974/75 was when Kung Fu movies took off and became a boom. Everybody was Kung Fu fighting by Carl Douglas was then the smash hit. What fun times that was for me then. And Dre cracked me up with his remark :"The interview Bruce Lee lost" His off beat timing is impeccable at times hilarious
I’ve seen this interview hundreds of times and wasn’t expecting to get anything new out of watching it one more time tonight. But I’m pleasantly surprised by the insight and how entertaining it is to hear KFG, Dre and Mikey reacting to it. I wonder if Bruce’s amped up, high energy demeanor in the moments before the interview is due to maybe having recently hit some Coke? Just an honest and automatic thought that I had after learning about his substance use. No shade. Also as an aside, I would love to hear KG breakdown some Alan Watts someday!
The first place I remember seeing an ad for "The Lost Interview" was in Muscle & Fitness Magazine, of all places! At the time, though I definitely wanted to get my hands on it, the 35 bucks or so they were asking was a little too much for my poor youngster (comparatively) self, I mean that was, with postage, 40 dollars for less than half an hour of Bruce Lee talking! But a year or two later (I had seen clips from the interview in an A. & E. Biography on TV) I was excited to pick up a used copy at Blockbuster Video (R.I.P., Blockbuster & Hollywood Video), still have a copy on dvd somewhere. It's too bad we don't have much more of interviews with Bruce available, but it is cool that we have this one. Regarding Mr. Burton insulting Bruce by saying he moved like a belly dancer, I think you misheard, I always thought Pierre said ballet dancer :)
You put steroids in the biceps, it becomes the biceps. You put steroids in the lats, it becomes the lats . You put it in the deltoids, it becomes the deltoids.
With Roman Polanski, his late wife Sharron Tate was trained by Bruce on some martial arts for a film she was doing. Wrecking Crew (1968) .... That's the connection.
No, not at all, my issue is that we pre-record these things weeks or months in advance and sometimes I don’t have a chance to relisten to the episode. So if I make a gaffe or a mistake, it’s usually commenters who let me know. That’s why I was just double checking that I didn’t misspeak!
Probably my favorite of his interviews. Hey for the record i love the Warrior show! It has nice fighting and enjoy the story plus its cool having a kung fu show around which we dont get alot of and its cool to see a concept of Bruces revived and done. I get its not quite the show he wouldve done and i have no doubt we’d all have preferred him being the star of the show but unfortunately that cant happen.
Awesome commentary on the Bruce Lee Documentary. I guess I might be an enigma since I am not really strongly interested in Bruce Lee or a practitioner of Eng Choon / Wing Chun. But I do admit that I tend to have some interest in how Eastern Martial Arts evolved and how different lineages have convergent and divergent paths from a common ancestry. ( Which caused me to see parallels in Silat, Karate and Southern Chinese styles. ) As for Mandarin, I think it is the "English" of China while regional tongues like Cantonese, Hokkien/Fujianese, Teochew, etc ... are kind of like the "French", "Spanish" or "Germans" there ... Perhaps my perspective would be alien to most martial art practitioners due to how I think in terms of evolutionary lineages and body motion concepts instead of techniques, self defense and combatives.
Thank you for commenting. However, relegating Cantonese into the same category of those smaller local dialects is not entirely accurate. Cantonese is much older than Mandarin and almost became the official language of China losing only by a few votes. There is a huge campaign to undercut and lessen the importance of Cantonese particularly from mainland China. And I will not stand for that lol.
@TheKungFuGenius - True. The comparison might not be exactly one to one. But to be fair, a lot of dialects are also very ancient and for some like Hokkien / Fujianese, you could hear elements of it in Korean and Japanese speech. "Hokkien is a much older language, older than Cantonese. It might have descended directly from old Chinese. Linguists say that, more than two thousand years ago, during the Qin Dynasty, the Han people in the north started to migrate to Fujian due to the war. Later, during the Jin Dynasty in the fourth century, constant wars in the north continued to sent waves of people to Fujian. Once these war “refugees” settled down, they sort of cut off the communication with the north. Consequently, their ways of communicating is kept alive till today, and is given an overall umbrella name, Hokkien."
I have a friendly suggestion, do you want to analyse Bruce Lee's fights and illustrate to the audience how his techniques were practical in real life situations. I made a video of a boxer named Maidana who copied Bruce Lee unintentionally and it paid it's dividends. Jon Jones is a fighter who consciously copied Bruce Lee, watch a few of his fight and you will see. I remember hearing Teofimo Lopez (Former Unified Champion) mention something about the "pyramid", him and his Dad are massive admirers of Bruce Lee. They said they got the "pyramid" from Bruce Lee. They were very secretive about in an interview, but Teofimo made it known that Bruce Lee inspired them. He didn't delve to deeply into what that meant by the pyrmaid, do you have any idea what it is?
I've seen this interview I don't know how many times & it only just now occurs to me Berton might not have meant tai chi at all. That sort of rock-'em-sock-'em robots stiff armed motion he did makes me wonder if he hadn't seen some karate people - or should I say karatty? - practicing kata & couldn't tell the difference.
You are spot on - it was always clear to me that Berton meant something other than what Bruce thought he was talking about. In the morning you always see old folks doing tai chi in the park but I think Berton meant he saw some martial arts in general.
A regular rewatching of the interview answers a lot about JKD... But alas...people want to think they know it all...and tell everyone else they are wrong...
What if Sammo Hung portrayed an older Bruce Lee in some kind of alternate universe movie where Brice lived on? It would need talented writers to tell a compelling story... And probably a host of other favorable circumstances to make happen... Maybe just a better made Double Dragon movie is more feasible 😅?
@@TheKungFuGenius His hand is on the table, he is a bit closer and Bruce isn't so it looks even bigger 🤣and also, Bruce is smaller than him or about his size.
Not sure how to interpret this. Was John Saxon offered the lead? “He (Bruce) was supposed to do, the television series Kung-Fu. Strangely enough I was supposed to do the television series Kung-Fu. …… and I was contacted briefly and was unable to do it. I don’t think I ever told him this” - John Saxon YT “Tracking The Dragon Convention London 1990 FULL 1hr 40mins” - Greg Probert @1:14:33 Yes, the Bruce Lee losing the part was the only version I heard back then.
I don’t know how to interpret that either. The “Carradine stealing the kung fu TV series from Bruce” is an old trope which seems to be completely debunked at this point. A lot of people conflate the kung fu TV series with Bruce’s warrior project. I suspect even some of Bruce’s actor friends may have got these two things confused, especially so many years later when these guys were finally interviewed about these topics. Also, at that time, Bruce really was looking to get into film and not TV.
@@TheKungFuGenius I didn’t know it was myth until your channel. At the Bruce Lee convention John Saxon was a last-minute replacement for Bolo Yeung, who cancelled to film Double Impact. We were devastated then but John Saxon is clearly a better public speaker. From memory this was the first convention appearance for John Saxon & Bob Baker. I’m sure their personal recollections were fine, but they wouldn’t be reliable for information outside of that. Author George Tan was present also but his research never came out as far as I’m aware.
SIFU 😯?? I ACTUALLY REMEMBER THAT INTERVIEW 📼!! I 🤔 I brought it from Black Belt or Inside Kung-fu...It was a Great INTERVIEW & for the 1st time I 👀 Bruce AS HIMSELF!! Not a character he's portraying in his 📽!!
Also sifu Alex as Kung Fu Genius can you also imclude in your podcast about Bruce Lee's interview by Harry Martin in 1966 during the Green Hornet days with his costar Van Williams many thanks to you sir
Why is Bruce Lee's "Lost Interview" called the lost interview, when all of his filmed interviews have been lost. If they had existed then this would have made sense to be called Bruce Lee's "Lost Interview" cause then it was eventually found, but that's not the case.. That's always puzzled me Bruce Lee's "The Lost Interview" But anyway Great episode! Great as always..
It’s really easy - until they found this interview in Canada around 1990 it had been “lost“. That’s why there is no photo, screenshot, or quote of this interview throughout the entire 70s and 80s.
Bruce should have just stuck with the "style" called Chinese Boxing. It sounds cool and is technically not a style right? Also respects to Grandmaster Keith Kernspecht. Crazy for him to pass away the day before Bruce Lees Bday. I just finished training and am listening to this while I repair my WC Wallbags. Cleaning up rice and sand from my patio as well.
@Alex, Thanks for doing this podcast, enjoyed it and I agree with you that the Dan Lee conversation was the best. I still have the audio tape which I ordered from Shaolin Video back in the 90s. Chris Alexis owned the shop in London and sold rare Bruce Lee footage and uncut films and rare uncut documentaries. Bey Logan was familiar with Chris as he did the Tracking The Dragon conventions where Shannon and Bob Baker and John Saxon and Jim Kelly and others were invited to come to the UK to talk about Bruce Lee which I think can be seen on UA-cam. Wonder whatever happened to the 1970/71 Enjoy Yourself Tonight interview where Bruce did a demo? Brandon was there as well but maybe Robert Chua the guy who interviewed him might know and he's on Facebook and knew Bruce Lee so maybe he could shed some light. Keep up the great content. Regards from England 🇬🇧
I remember having an unproductive argument with Chris Alexis over the phone, wherein the b*****d hung up on me. Non-Brits might not know this, but the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) had a fun time chopping up Bruce Lee videos in the mid eighties to nineties time period. Let's be honest here, nobody watches Bruce's films for their amazing plots, acting and production values; we watch them for the fights. So naturally, the main selling point was the part that the BBFC decided to hack to smithereens with their garden shears. All nunchaku scenes were excised and Way of the Dragon in particular was an unwatchable mess. The only way that us die hard Bruceketeers could get our fix was through bootleg copies of the movies and Chris Alexis of Shaolin Video was the guy. Unfortunately, he was also a BS-er of the highest order and took advantage of my innocent, younger self (no, not in that way you pervs) by telling me that his version of The Big Boss was uncut, complete with the infamous 'saw through the head' scene. I trusted that this was the truth and sent good money to the scumfluck. Money that wasn't reimbursed and to a tight fisted Scot, this equates to a lifelong grudge that will one day be avenged... in blood.😡
@ I don’t mind reboots much but this case was different. I felt something I can’t explain when I heard about the reboot of this movie. Brandon made this movie special.
I tried this podcast out with the Bruce Lee interview episode. Absolutely terrible .the silly banter between the two hosts constantly interrupting the video that they are playing was extremely annoying as Alex was trying to show off how knowledgeable he was about everything. He obviously has a sick obsession with Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee was an exceptional martial artist, but a very poor character of a person. He was quick tempered, extremely egotistical very materialistic, and never hesitated to cheat on his wife if he could not someone you wanna emulate.
"very poor character of a person"......no-Hwood-star-is-a-hero,theyre-just-courtjesters. "He was quick tempered, extremely egotistical very materialistic, and never hesitated to cheat on his wife" , many-stars-are-like-that&the-more-temptations,the-more-likely-they-will-be-tempted-to-cheat
The comments I get on this channel range from unbelievably insightful to purposefully inflammatory. Some are trolling, while others are insanely dumb. Occasionally, there are some that are perfect pieces of sarcasm and irony. And sometimes they’re so dumb they could be sarcastic or ironic by accident. The problem is I have no idea what this one is.
You guys said students will always support their teacher. I get it that you think Bruce Lee schooled Wong Jack Man, but like you said, unless you were there you have no right to trash Wong Jack Man, because I’d say the opposite. And I would have legit sources too. So you lose credibility from guys like me who think you represent Wing Chun well. I really love watching Bruce Lee do his thing. Not to presume your intent but it looks like you’re running a Bruce Lee fan club.
I’m missing the part where you are not allowed to have your own opinion or I’m supposed to wear a muzzle because some random guy doesn’t agree with me. Wonder why Mr. Chin from WJM‘s entourage conceded that Bruce won? Asking for a friend. “I’m a Bruce Lee fanboy and that’s why I think he won and you have the truth on your side and that’s why you get to stigmatize the sheep who believe the official story cause blah blah blah”

Oh, and if you haven't read it already, get Bill Allen's 'My Rad Career', for many stories about Brandon. Be warned though, there's a really way out one concerning the funeral.
1:00:50 So true, Bruce had a sense of humour and was not this serious dude 24/7. A lot humility like you said
I can hear the emotion in your voice when you speak about Bruce. When I hear Bruce speak or watch his movies, I always think WHAT IF he was alive longer. Crazy to see how much he accomplished in life in such a short space of time. Legends do die young. 😔
Thank you! I think we feel similarly about Bruce!
Awesome episode! Many thanks! :)
As a kid in the 70s growing up in L.A. I used to take the RTD bus to downtown LA to buy my Bruce Lee magazine from Chinese vendors.
Another great episode. Love the way you break down the interview and interpret it with a deeper understanding. The man was a GENIUS. I wish he lived longer to do more interviews. It would have been nice to see him on Johnny Carson, He was a great host, interviewer.
Thank you!
Like you, KFG, I've watched this so many times, I literally know the dialogue (just as I do all of Bruce's movies 😎😁).
The thing that jumps out at me whenever I watch this, is Bruce's intensity and presence. You can see and feel his energy when he speaks.
It's hard to take your eyes off of him.
As a hardcore Bruce Lee fan, I, too, have wondered what it would have been like had Bruce been with us longer. I can't think on it too much because the feeling of disappointment gets me feeling some kinda way.
RIP Lee Xiao Long
👊🏾☯️👊🏾
1:08:17 the humility is amazing.
I particularly liked this episode. Great work from you Mr KFG and the crew.
I did wonder if the podcasts were going to get Bleeker!
Great great episode .
Really gtreat discussion and humour and reverance .
I love that your not a head in the clouds Lee fan , but I could really see your love and admiration and inspiration at the same time! .
Thank you, I feel you accurately described me here!
Merci beaucoup pour vos commentaires, vos analyses, sur cette interview. En France , personne ne l' avait encore analysée. Merci Alex, merci à toute l'équipe. Bon rétablissement à Mikey. Take care !

Be Water Interview = The Lost Interview. Thankful for Dr. Beardy and his team of sound engineers who remastered this gem 🫶🏻
Haha
Thank you, another great podcast. This brings back memories of getting the VHS tape in the mail. Crazy, back then, it cost 50USD a pop and now, its free on UA-cam.
Thanks Sifu, I also acquired the VHS tape many moons ago.
I was struck by his humor, and just one of the guys kind of demeanor.
In any interview he never bragged that he considers himself a great martial artist.
Half a century later, the world over….
Many consider him among the greats, including top MMA champions.
I got the UK VHS, which was just called "Interview With Bruce Lee" from HMV, Barnsley (1994?). It was promoted I remember on Channel 4's "The Big Breakfast" one morning... which is how I knew to run off and pounce on it. VHS also padded out with a James Coburn interview. The cover is a cool gold and black, still have it, love it.
This was a real treat, the genius got emotional when talking about brandon lee, you should do a episode about brandon in the New year. Great episode Guys. 😊
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Looking forward to this as I love this interview. I bought it on VHS when it came out.
I remember the first time they showed it on tv in the UK. Later I got a dvd of it
His screen test and interview would be another cool review
Hope Mickey gets well soon. Hopefully Santa gets him the much needed health insurance this year.
@13:18 Bertons announcer says “December the 9th , 1971” the Take Slate lists it like “9/12/71” because it’s in the format Day-Month-Year the preferred British format (Back when Hong Kong was a “Crown Colony”), unlike the US format (Month-Day-Year): “12/9/71”.
I always felt that David Carridine was perfect for the role of Cain and Bruce was perfect for the martial arts action movies. Where one needed to be more mellow and peaceful the other had to explode.
Hey buddy, we recently recorded an episode entirely about The Last Dragon. It should hit in about four weeks. We mentioned you in it!
That’s so nice I’ll be looking forward to it.
This is why we love him🙏
Just finished up. Like I said got this VHS tape when it came out like you...and watched it SEVERAL times over the years and can recite alot of it. But I haven't watched this thing in YEARS. This was so cool!! And of course loved the commentary between the pauses. Thanks guys!
I really like this one. Easy to get bogged down in all the sniffed up. He's a vibrant super actor here. I understand the wistful what ifs. He's burning brightest here heading up to his peak.
What up Dre.
Pierre Berton wrote over 50 books and was a major popularizer of Canadian History. His books and history shows on Canadian TV made topics like the Klondike Gold Rush or building of the Canadian Pacific Railway seem as exciting as the American Revolution.
Thanks for that!
I remember when tis came out on VHS in the 90s. I got a copy as soon as it was available. What a treasure. Around that same time History Channel did an episode of Biography on Bruce Lee.
Pretty much the same for me! I remember that documentary
Biography redid that documentary a short time after that because the Lee Estate made them change some things. I have the original version, but I'm not sure what is different.
I had the bootleg of this and the backyard sessions in 1990 from a Bruce Lee convention in London. This was a few years before it became marketed as "The Lost Interview". Pretty sure it was covered in Bey Logan's Combat Magazine even before that. I would guess it was readily available on the underground scene for many years , until someone realised this could be sold for home video.
Anyone like myself who attended the Tracking The Dragon convention in London in 1990 would've seen this interview 4 years before its official release.
You win!
John Little asked me to write an article on the lost interview. I will send it your way.
He seemed like a real cool cat. A Very unique individual
We have Beerdy to thank for remastering this interview I'm assuming..
If not for Beerdy we’d only have a few black and white still shots of Bruce.
I thought when Bruce Lee did the Tai Chi movement, it looks so beautiful. It's like he's dancing with hist hands.
Sifu Alex it is always a great episodes to talk about Bruce Lee's video interview kindly feature about his Martial Arts on Jeet Kune Do aside from his Wing Chun kung fu thanks a lot
I really enjoyed how you broke it down. 👍🏻
Glad you liked it!
"I MIGHT BREAK MY 🤚!!" Said Bruce when asked of breaking BROADS!! Although " They Don't Hit Back!" They leave a "MARK "if struck wrongly!! Kinda like a poisonous 🐸 if 👐 unprotected
Tuned in a little late. Loved this BL interview btw. I order the VHS tape when it came out like you. And when I got it...just like you...shit my pants. Pierre Burton's voiceover said he was teaching James Coburn, Steve McQueen, James Garner & Lee Marvin. We all know Coburn & McQueen were his students. He taught some stuff to James Garner on the set of MARLOWE (anything outside of that is news to me). But NOWHERE else did I hear he taught Lee Marvin anywhere?
It’s never too late to tune in! I don’t know about the Lee Marvin thing either, but the media often gets bits wrong.
Great Show
I remember asking if you guys would ever examine this interview, I imagine it was coming up at some point anyway without my mention 🤣 BUT I loved this; I learned a couple of new things too! Thank you, KFG and Dre/Mikey. You guys are awesome! 🐉💯
I’d be fascinated to see an AI altered version of the lost interview in which Bruce Lee’s Cantonese accent is taken out and he speaks with a perfect Seattle accent.
Hi guys! Excellent breakdown love that interview a personal fave, ok fellow humane beings have a good weekend!
Thank you!
@@TheKungFuGenius Your very welcome.
Interesting how he couldn’t get the role for Kung Fu in ‘72 because they thought he was “too Chinese” and yet they had him on 4 episodes of Longstreet in ‘71 (which everybody dug when we saw it) so to me, that shoulda proved even more that he could’ve easily carried his own series?
You bring up an interesting idea. Bruce Lee not making films. I think he would have met his chief aim before 1980 and I could see him stop making films. I could see him stopping at his peak and cementing his legendary status.
Happy Birthday Lee Jun Fan🎂
Didn't he say the same philosophical meaning of water in the 1964 screen test for the role of "Kato," in, "The "Green Hornet?"
The KFG Jersey/NYC version is “Be Wooter”.
Bruce became less humble towards the end of his life :(
John Saxon: "In Hong Kong my Wife and I threw a dinner party in a restaurant, inviting Bruce and his Wife, and Raymond Chow. I also invited Jay Tunney, who was doing business in Hong Kong, and his wife and introduced them all to each other. Early on during dinner I casually mentioned that Jay was one of Gene Tunney's sons, the Gene Tunney who had been the Heavy Weight Boxing Champ of the World, and if my memory holds, defeated Jack Dempsey. A short while later Bruce said to Jay: 'I could have taken your Father! I have four weapons, he only had two'. And I cringed."
"Cocaine is a hell of a drug" (Rick James). Seeing how the drugs affected Bruce's personality as he neared the end of his life is so tragic.
I think it’s time to stop going on about Bruce’s behaviour or traits. Why would you think he didn’t have the same sort of behaviours as other people? So what if he said that. Everyone at some point or another has said stuff out of turn.
Yeah, it’s always a red flag when people moralize about other people‘s character and whether they are “humble or not“ (oh the irony of people saying other people are not humble is always lost on the people who write those statements).
Did Bruce Lee take drugs? Yes, that is a fact. What is the implication of that? These guys in the comments seem to have that completely figured out.
I would love to have the level of omniscience that these guys have about Bruce Lee‘s personal character! I’m sure all of these people who moralize about Bruce are fine upstanding people because that’s what fine upstanding people do - they moralize anonymously in comments on UA-cam.
How great was that. Now I've seen the entire interview and had the pleasure of hearing your thoughts in between about what Bruce said. Also seeing the reverence you both have for Bruce is obvious. And Berton's lack of understanding many things Bruce said. But that was just indicative of the occidental ignorance about martial arts there and then at that time. The west didn't know Gung Fu. That only happened after Enter The Dragon. My early teenager years in 1974/75 was when Kung Fu movies took off and became a boom. Everybody was Kung Fu fighting by Carl Douglas was then the smash hit. What fun times that was for me then. And Dre cracked me up with his remark :"The interview Bruce Lee lost" His off beat timing is impeccable at times hilarious
Thank you! What a great comment!
I’ve seen this interview hundreds of times and wasn’t expecting to get anything new out of watching it one more time tonight. But I’m pleasantly surprised by the insight and how entertaining it is to hear KFG, Dre and Mikey reacting to it. I wonder if Bruce’s amped up, high energy demeanor in the moments before the interview is due to maybe having recently hit some Coke? Just an honest and automatic thought that I had after learning about his substance use. No shade.
Also as an aside, I would love to hear KG breakdown some Alan Watts someday!
Thank you! I don’t know if I’m competent to comment on Watts though!
The first place I remember seeing an ad for "The Lost Interview" was in Muscle & Fitness Magazine, of all places! At the time, though I definitely wanted to get my hands on it, the 35 bucks or so they were asking was a little too much for my poor youngster (comparatively) self, I mean that was, with postage, 40 dollars for less than half an hour of Bruce Lee talking! But a year or two later (I had seen clips from the interview in an A. & E. Biography on TV) I was excited to pick up a used copy at Blockbuster Video (R.I.P., Blockbuster & Hollywood Video), still have a copy on dvd somewhere. It's too bad we don't have much more of interviews with Bruce available, but it is cool that we have this one.
Regarding Mr. Burton insulting Bruce by saying he moved like a belly dancer, I think you misheard, I always thought Pierre said ballet dancer :)
I think you’re right that I had misheard that. Either way was cool to brush it off!
Nice! Video!!
You put steroids in the biceps, it becomes the biceps. You put steroids in the lats, it becomes the lats . You put it in the deltoids, it becomes the deltoids.
😂😂😂
I see what you did there 😆
"Be steroids my friend".
Thanks for the Bleecker quotes!
Mr. Lee stated that the word superstar was a turnoff, yet in his 1969 “chief aim” letter, his goal was to become a superstar.
With Roman Polanski, his late wife Sharron Tate was trained by Bruce on some martial arts for a film she was doing. Wrecking Crew (1968) .... That's the connection.
Yes, we are well aware of that connection. Did I say I didn’t know what that connection was? I’ve discussed this at length on other episodes.
@TheKungFuGenius I just wrote the comment for others who may not be aware. I haven't watch all the other Pods. Wow, I didn't know I was offending.
No, not at all, my issue is that we pre-record these things weeks or months in advance and sometimes I don’t have a chance to relisten to the episode. So if I make a gaffe or a mistake, it’s usually commenters who let me know. That’s why I was just double checking that I didn’t misspeak!
Probably my favorite of his interviews. Hey for the record i love the Warrior show! It has nice fighting and enjoy the story plus its cool having a kung fu show around which we dont get alot of and its cool to see a concept of Bruces revived and done. I get its not quite the show he wouldve done and i have no doubt we’d all have preferred him being the star of the show but unfortunately that cant happen.
Awesome commentary on the Bruce Lee Documentary.
I guess I might be an enigma since I am not really strongly interested in Bruce Lee or a practitioner of Eng Choon / Wing Chun.
But I do admit that I tend to have some interest in how Eastern Martial Arts evolved and how different lineages have convergent and divergent paths from a common ancestry. ( Which caused me to see parallels in Silat, Karate and Southern Chinese styles. )
As for Mandarin, I think it is the "English" of China while regional tongues like Cantonese, Hokkien/Fujianese, Teochew, etc ... are kind of like the "French", "Spanish" or "Germans" there ...
Perhaps my perspective would be alien to most martial art practitioners due to how I think in terms of evolutionary lineages and body motion concepts instead of techniques, self defense and combatives.
Thank you for commenting. However, relegating Cantonese into the same category of those smaller local dialects is not entirely accurate. Cantonese is much older than Mandarin and almost became the official language of China losing only by a few votes. There is a huge campaign to undercut and lessen the importance of Cantonese particularly from mainland China. And I will not stand for that lol.
@TheKungFuGenius - True. The comparison might not be exactly one to one.
But to be fair, a lot of dialects are also very ancient and for some like Hokkien / Fujianese, you could hear elements of it in Korean and Japanese speech.
"Hokkien is a much older language, older than Cantonese. It might have descended directly from old Chinese.
Linguists say that, more than two thousand years ago, during the Qin Dynasty, the Han people in the north started to migrate to Fujian due to the war. Later, during the Jin Dynasty in the fourth century, constant wars in the north continued to sent waves of people to Fujian. Once these war “refugees” settled down, they sort of cut off the communication with the north. Consequently, their ways of communicating is kept alive till today, and is given an overall umbrella name, Hokkien."
Also in Marlowe movie with James Garner
Keep up the 👍 work mr. genius!!
Thanks, will do!
I have a friendly suggestion, do you want to analyse Bruce Lee's fights and illustrate to the audience how his techniques were practical in real life situations. I made a video of a boxer named Maidana who copied Bruce Lee unintentionally and it paid it's dividends. Jon Jones is a fighter who consciously copied Bruce Lee, watch a few of his fight and you will see. I remember hearing Teofimo Lopez (Former Unified Champion) mention something about the "pyramid", him and his Dad are massive admirers of Bruce Lee. They said they got the "pyramid" from Bruce Lee. They were very secretive about in an interview, but Teofimo made it known that Bruce Lee inspired them. He didn't delve to deeply into what that meant by the pyrmaid, do you have any idea what it is?
I've seen this interview I don't know how many times & it only just now occurs to me Berton might not have meant tai chi at all. That sort of rock-'em-sock-'em robots stiff armed motion he did makes me wonder if he hadn't seen some karate people - or should I say karatty? - practicing kata & couldn't tell the difference.
You are spot on - it was always clear to me that Berton meant something other than what Bruce thought he was talking about. In the morning you always see old folks doing tai chi in the park but I think Berton meant he saw some martial arts in general.
A regular rewatching of the interview answers a lot about JKD... But alas...people want to think they know it all...and tell everyone else they are wrong...
🔥🖤🙏
Bruce seems to also have tha beatnik, jive talking soul brother swag...ya,dig?
Steven Seagal and Michael J. White left the Chat…
Thanks.
I am guessing this is the Canadian Pierre interview ?
You win a detective hat for the day!
What if Sammo Hung portrayed an older Bruce Lee in some kind of alternate universe movie where Brice lived on? It would need talented writers to tell a compelling story... And probably a host of other favorable circumstances to make happen...
Maybe just a better made Double Dragon movie is more feasible 😅?
Head size got me🤣👏👏👏
I would never caught that.
It’s insane!
@@TheKungFuGenius His hand is on the table, he is a bit closer and Bruce isn't so it looks even bigger 🤣and also, Bruce is smaller than him or about his size.
Not sure how to interpret this. Was John Saxon offered the lead?
“He (Bruce) was supposed to do, the television series Kung-Fu. Strangely enough I was supposed to do the television series Kung-Fu. …… and I was contacted briefly and was unable to do it. I don’t think I ever told him this” - John Saxon
YT “Tracking The Dragon Convention London 1990 FULL 1hr 40mins” - Greg Probert
@1:14:33
Yes, the Bruce Lee losing the part was the only version I heard back then.
I don’t know how to interpret that either. The “Carradine stealing the kung fu TV series from Bruce” is an old trope which seems to be completely debunked at this point. A lot of people conflate the kung fu TV series with Bruce’s warrior project. I suspect even some of Bruce’s actor friends may have got these two things confused, especially so many years later when these guys were finally interviewed about these topics.
Also, at that time, Bruce really was looking to get into film and not TV.
@@TheKungFuGenius I didn’t know it was myth until your channel.
At the Bruce Lee convention John Saxon was a last-minute replacement for Bolo Yeung, who cancelled to film Double Impact. We were devastated then but John Saxon is clearly a better public speaker.
From memory this was the first convention appearance for John Saxon & Bob Baker. I’m sure their personal recollections were fine, but they wouldn’t be reliable for information outside of that. Author George Tan was present also but his research never came out as far as I’m aware.
SIFU 😯?? I ACTUALLY REMEMBER THAT INTERVIEW 📼!! I 🤔 I brought it from Black Belt or Inside Kung-fu...It was a Great INTERVIEW & for the 1st time I 👀 Bruce AS HIMSELF!! Not a character he's portraying in his 📽!!
Also sifu Alex as Kung Fu Genius can you also imclude in your podcast about Bruce Lee's interview by Harry Martin in 1966 during the Green Hornet days with his costar Van Williams many thanks to you sir
Is that the short one with the bike?
@TheKungFuGenius yes that's it thank you so much sifu
Why is Bruce Lee's "Lost Interview" called the lost interview, when all of his filmed interviews have been lost. If they had existed then
this would have made sense to be called Bruce Lee's "Lost Interview" cause then it was eventually found, but that's not the case..
That's always puzzled me Bruce Lee's "The Lost Interview" But anyway Great episode! Great as always..
It’s really easy - until they found this interview in Canada around 1990 it had been “lost“. That’s why there is no photo, screenshot, or quote of this interview throughout the entire 70s and 80s.
@@TheKungFuGenius Okay, Thank you for the information. Makes sense now.
Bruce should have just stuck with the "style" called Chinese Boxing. It sounds cool and is technically not a style right? Also respects to Grandmaster Keith Kernspecht. Crazy for him to pass away the day before Bruce Lees Bday. I just finished training and am listening to this while I repair my WC Wallbags. Cleaning up rice and sand from my patio as well.
😂 They stole the idea from Bruce Lee.
?
Dude weird, I hit "comment" when Dre says "Chinese Boxing".
And you answered my question lol thats incredible timing.
@Alex, Thanks for doing this podcast, enjoyed it and I agree with you that the Dan Lee conversation was the best. I still have the audio tape which I ordered from Shaolin Video back in the 90s. Chris Alexis owned the shop in London and sold rare Bruce Lee footage and uncut films and rare uncut documentaries. Bey Logan was familiar with Chris as he did the Tracking The Dragon conventions where Shannon and Bob Baker and John Saxon and Jim Kelly and others were invited to come to the UK to talk about Bruce Lee which I think can be seen on UA-cam. Wonder whatever happened to the 1970/71 Enjoy Yourself Tonight interview where Bruce did a demo? Brandon was there as well but maybe Robert Chua the guy who interviewed him might know and he's on Facebook and knew Bruce Lee so maybe he could shed some light. Keep up the great content. Regards from England 🇬🇧
I remember having an unproductive argument with Chris Alexis over the phone, wherein the b*****d hung up on me.
Non-Brits might not know this, but the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) had a fun time chopping up Bruce Lee videos in the mid eighties to nineties time period. Let's be honest here, nobody watches Bruce's films for their amazing plots, acting and production values; we watch them for the fights. So naturally, the main selling point was the part that the BBFC decided to hack to smithereens with their garden shears. All nunchaku scenes were excised and Way of the Dragon in particular was an unwatchable mess.
The only way that us die hard Bruceketeers could get our fix was through bootleg copies of the movies and Chris Alexis of Shaolin Video was the guy. Unfortunately, he was also a BS-er of the highest order and took advantage of my innocent, younger self (no, not in that way you pervs) by telling me that his version of The Big Boss was uncut, complete with the infamous 'saw through the head' scene. I trusted that this was the truth and sent good money to the scumfluck. Money that wasn't reimbursed and to a tight fisted Scot, this equates to a lifelong grudge that will one day be avenged... in blood.😡
Oasis 🔥
Hello
He interrupted him 2 times which was terrible.
Even Bruce reacted.
"Bruce is getting upset !" (Seinfeld referance,lol)
@@postersandstuff Haven't seen it :/
KFG, you can skip the new The Crow movie 💯
I won’t only skip it, I will also burn any TV screens showing it.
@ I don’t mind reboots much but this case was different. I felt something I can’t explain when I heard about the reboot of this movie. Brandon made this movie special.
I tried this podcast out with the Bruce Lee interview episode. Absolutely terrible .the silly banter between the two hosts constantly interrupting the video that they are playing was extremely annoying as Alex was trying to show off how knowledgeable he was about everything. He obviously has a sick obsession with Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee was an exceptional martial artist, but a very poor character of a person. He was quick tempered, extremely egotistical very materialistic, and never hesitated to cheat on his wife if he could not someone you wanna emulate.
The more you comment, the more people will watch my annoying videos. Thank you!

This not a lost interview. Ive seen this numerous times😂. C'mon you call yourself a fan.
🙄
The comments I get on this channel range from unbelievably insightful to purposefully inflammatory. Some are trolling, while others are insanely dumb. Occasionally, there are some that are perfect pieces of sarcasm and irony. And sometimes they’re so dumb they could be sarcastic or ironic by accident. The problem is I have no idea what this one is.
You guys said students will always support their teacher. I get it that you think Bruce Lee schooled Wong Jack Man, but like you said, unless you were there you have no right to trash Wong Jack Man, because I’d say the opposite. And I would have legit sources too. So you lose credibility from guys like me who think you represent Wing Chun well. I really love watching Bruce Lee do his thing. Not to presume your intent but it looks like you’re running a Bruce Lee fan club.
I’m missing the part where you are not allowed to have your own opinion or I’m supposed to wear a muzzle because some random guy doesn’t agree with me.
Wonder why Mr. Chin from WJM‘s entourage conceded that Bruce won? Asking for a friend.
“I’m a Bruce Lee fanboy and that’s why I think he won and you have the truth on your side and that’s why you get to stigmatize the sheep who believe the official story cause blah blah blah”
Mickey can you lump Phil Collins in that pile somehow ?!❤🎉
A lot of rumours about old Phil 😉
