Ever Wonder Why Bruce Lee Almost Killed Bob Baker?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2022
- Bruce Lee and Bob Baker had an epic battle in the movie Fists of Fury when Chen Zhen fought the Russian Strongman, Petrov, in the final act of the movie.
In the fight, Chen Zhen has to tap into his Lost Track Skill, or Mizongyi, to defeat Petrov, and the fight is meant to parallel the challenge fights Chen Zhen's Sifu, Huo Yuanjia, participated in against Western fighters.
But something that's even more interesting about this fight scene between Chen Zhen and Petrov is the story gaining steam online that the actors playing these characters, Bruce Lee and Bob Baker, some kind of real physical confrontation during an exhibition.
After hearing the story, I can help but ask the question as to why Bruce Lee almost killed Bob Baker?

@Goldenbell Training So you believe drugs were the cause of his death, in contrast to the cause they are saying being cerebral edema???
@@JohnDavid888 Oh you're in Seattle, I was just there in August, exceeded my expectations, I was anticipating clouds it was sunny the whole time, I also paid tribute to Bruce, and Brandon while there, out of respect I left something of mine which is sentimental there, and is now also a permanent part of the site!!!👍
Bob Baker boxed and took karate I believe before he ever met Bruce. And Bob was a student also Bruce's bodyguard
Creo que su lesión en la columna le hizo tomar medicamentos alérgico a su última pastilla, quisiera que publicará algo sobre cómo se sobrepuso a dicha lesión y que fue lo que hizo pará sanar ,no he visto mucho sobre eso
dude, stop badmouthing people and do something productive. And spreading lies, like the one about Betti Ting Pei
Wish Bruce Lee was still here. RIP Mr. Lee. Thank you for contributing so very much to our world. 😭❤️
Why? So you can snort a line with him? 🤣
Read “The Dao of Jeet Kun Do”
Bruce was a human like us all. Good things and bad things happen. He was great at what he did, wish he were here.
From what I've read from the little-known information about Bob Baker was that he was a loyal student and close friend of his mentor Bruce Lee. He was referenced as being a quiet and reserved man and was very devastated after Bruce's death. I read he wasn't too much of a fan of being in the spotlight. And only taught Jeet-Kun Do to only a handful of students after his mentor's death. I can now understand why Baker was in quite a few of Bruce Lee's famous movies. I never get bored watching them.
Bob baker was only in one film with Bruce, (Fist of Fury). You're getting him confused with Bob Wall who appeared in 2 of his 5 films, Way of the Dragon and Enter the Dragon.
@Mike Yes Bob wall appeared in that 1978 sham which really had nothing to do with Bruce Lee's Game of Death. Bruce Lee did not star in that particular film, they just used images of him and some of his unfinished work from his "actual film" which did not star Bob Wall at all...
I apologize for the error and I appreciate the correction from both of you. I first watched Fist of Fury when it was titled the Chinese Connection during the VHS days in the 1980's. I just started rewatching some of Bruce Lee's classic movies again and was aware of Bob Wall appearing in the movies Enter the Dragon and Game of Death. I think the Way of the Dragon was named Return of the Dragon during the VHS days I enjoyed watching Bruce Lee films.
I started rewatching Bruce Lee films again and was curious on why there are so many critics and even celebrities disrespecting Bruce Lee's legacy. I was reading about the feuds Bob Wall had with Steven Seagal. I won't mention anything negative about Steven Seagal although I was a bit surprised of some of his comments. Again, I apologize for mistaking Bob Baker for Bob Wall. I will always highly respect those expert martial artists.
@@toddsands6000 Im actually replying to that guy Mike, no need to apologize. As for Steven seagal, he has lost a lot of respect from many people because he has lied so much and made comments about Bruce that are not true and Bob wall called him up on the fone and threatened him if he keeps going and Steven wisely shut his mouth after that. There will always be people who are just jealous of Bruce and will say bad things about him, i just don't pay attention to them
Yup. Lol. This brother is not a True Bruce Fan. I met and talked to Bob Wall, aka O'hara.
I started collecting Bruce Lee stuff in 73. In 1975 i was the biggest collector in the US. In 1975 i started working with Norman Borine at The Athena on Hollywood blvd. Norman became the biggest collector in 76 and is the definitive collector even becoming friends with Linda Lee. I was invited as a guest on a Bruce Lee channel a few months ago to talk about the start of Bruce Lee collecting and of course Norman and later The Bruce Lee museum he invented back in 76 which half the stuff he displayed was mine.
Thats really cool but, this is about Bruce Lee and the claims this dude is making on this video its not about you.
Definitely like you as a combat analyst I’ve been following you for Star Wars Contin and somehow I guess this is one of your other channels definitely appreciate your narration and your calm pace
I hope you still have lots of stuff of his still.
@@RachelsBadAssJamz64 smh - no need to be mean.
@@shhshepherds6319 unfortunately I sold 99% to Norman Borine in 77. It all ended up in The World of Bruce Lee.
Another great video! Always loved that Lee vs. Baker fight in the movie.
.
Bruce awarded me my black belt in 1972. He was, is, and will always be the finest martial artist this world ever produced
Yeh he was fine. Cool story
he left me his Mercedes and Nora Mao's telephone number in his will.
I didn't know that Master Bruce Lee bought into "Belt Rank" systems. He never persued "Black Belt" rank himself. He went from teacher to teacher, adopting what was effective and discarding all else. I could be mistaken, having only studied under his students and schools infuenced by Master Lee.
Was it real Leather ! 😆
@@vinnyvincent2862 yes, leather with a silver buckle...he only awarded one of them.
FWIW I heard a story that Joe Lewis heard a Japanese stuntman saying Lewis’ sidekick lacked power. He didn’t know Lewis was fluent in Japanese.
At the next take Lewis blasted the stuntman several feet through the air and through a shoji wall.
Semper Fi, Joe.
-Matt’s dad
Robert Baker was an Oakland student of Bruce, and later on, one of his bodyguards. My JKD teacher is James Lee's son, Greglon, and knew him well, and says there was never any beef between them. Why would people lie just to make a story is beyond me.
Feel free to correct me if I am mistaken but....
Did Bob Baker take over the teachings of Bruce's Oakland School after he passed?
I read an interview with Jesse Glover, Bruce's first student that he took over the Oakland School after Bob had passed.
After James Lee passed? I can find out for you.
@@mactherealestateman VERY WELL
Greglon Lee? He teaching? I'm from Original Oakland JKD school as well. I didnt know Greglon was teaching still. There's only one other Oakland JKD school in the Bay Area that teaches. You might know.
Yeah Bruce Lee knew Bob Baker and was his student in the 60's. Bruce didn't become friends with him after Fist of Fury, in 1972.
Bruce Lee is nothing but a Natural Genius...a kind you only meet once.
He was an actor who had to take daily steroid injections so that he could walk.
@@chalkandcheese1868 very funny
@@chalkandcheese1868 " Louis Delgado was the last fighter to beat Chuck Norris in a tournament. Delgado said in a karate magazine in the 60/70's that Bruce was the most difficult guy he ever sparred with and he was in awe of Bruce. " - oot
An intelligent mind is an inquiring mind. It is not satisfied with explanations, with conclusions.
They are undoubtedly great in their respective sports but they are binded and limited to certain styles and patterns.
Like Bruce Lee said: "All fixed set patterns are incapable of adaptability or pliability. The truth is outside of all fixed patterns.”
And even malaipet is a fan of Bruce Lee. He also quotes from Bruce Lee:
"I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.”
Conor McGregor UFC Fighter - Interview at UFC Fight Night 37 in 2014
“I have no doubt he would have been world champion in MMA, no doubt. He’s fluid, he’s loose, he’s fast. His movement is fluid, it’s efficient, it’s functional. So many guys are addicted to strength and conditioning, they just get bulked up and stiff and slow. Bruce was free, his body was nimble.”
Here’s a short story of Bruce by Hayward Nishioka :
Hayward Nishioka (1942 - ), a 9th degree black belt in Judo, former Judo Gold Medallist at the 1967 Pan American Games. He won five consecutive national championships from 1965 to 1970 and was ranked 5th in the world in 1965 and 1967.
On January 13, 1987, Nishioka, retired from competing and at the age of 44 tossed Rickson Gracie (age 28) with a number of throws at his Judo school. Nishioka admitted training with Bruce in the 60s and personally sparred with Bruce. He was in awe of Bruce’s exceptional martial art prowess.
I couldn't hold a candle to him (Bruce). He was too fast for me; he would tap my head before I even got set.
He was the quickest person I’ve ever seen. In that area he was king. And he knew it.
Nishioka said in fact, many martial artists had sparred with Bruce and had the similar experience as him but many would not admit, mainly because they were afraid of losing face. Richard Bustillo, a student of Dan Inosanto, said he personally saw a sparring session with Chuck Norris and Bruce that left Norris red faced. Grandmaster Jhoon Rhee said he would not spar Lee because he would knock you out. As Lee was experimenting and creating his own art, thus, he would take up most challenges. He sparred anyone who wanted to spar.
Bruce studied and mastered many different arts and techniques and was a very different martial artist in 72-73 than he was in the 60's. What is the consensus about Bruce from "real deal" fighters (Norris, Lewis, Wallace, Stone and Rhee) was that he was the fastest and possibly the strongest man that they had ever seen. Master Rhee has categorically stated: "I would demonstrate a kick to Bruce and a week later he would be able to do it as good as me”.
He is as heavy as a featherweight(64kg) but punches as hard as a heavyweight (90-120kg)
- from Joe Lewis (Father of Kick-Boxing)
He has exceptional speed, many of his training partners have always said one thing in common : that no one could match his speed.
“Bruce Lee had his punching and closing speed measured with an electric timer at Glover's house.
In the book "Bruce Lee - Between Wing Chun and JKD", Glover states, Lee could land a punch in around five hundredths of a second (0.05 second) from 3 feet away, and could close from 5 feet away in around eight hundredths of a second (0.08 second).
While Glover's own times from three feet were between 11 and 18 hundredths of a second (0.11 and 0.18 second). Closing from a distance they were in the low twenties.”
To say his fighting style would not work in MMA is just being plain silly. His fighting style evolves over time. So it’s difficult to compare something that is constantly evolving to "today's" MMA, because you never know how would Bruce adapt.
These are legit examples of Bruce Lee’s phenomenal abilities.
Based on the Tao of Jeet Kune Do, he was already researching about grappling techniques.
Most would say Bruce Lee was just an actor.
However, if you get martial arts experts like Joe Rogan/MMA fighters to analyse his fight.
They would say : “his moves show perfect timing, something not achievable by being just an actor. He certainly did lots of sparring and had a really excellent sense of timing and flow”.
The way he fights now is similar to how MMA fighters fight. Mind you, he has been gone for 45 years and what he did 45 years back then was simply unknown to the world. Even the Gracies, Joe Rogan, Conor, Anderson Silva & etc have said that he is the pioneer of MMA.
Here we have Sugar Ray talking about Bruce Lee. When boxing legends like him, Mike Tyson speak so highly of Bruce Lee, you know that Bruce was a legit martial artist and not just a mere actor.
Unlike most traditional martial artist Bruce Lee didn’t study one thing, but rather everything. He studied multiple martial arts, and developed his own martial art that combined them all. Next to Krav Maga (an Israeli military self defense method) Jeet Kune Do (Bruce Lee’s method) is considered the second best martial art in the world for self defense.
Bruce trained full contact often against people bigger and stronger than him.
After all the founder of MMA is going to be a lot better at it than someone who learned MMA, because Bruce understood how and why the different forms worked. He would have chosen the best techniques to maximize his performance in the octagon, and focused on mastering them. He was also a master of studying his opponents; meaning he would have a different form and strategy against a striker than he would a grappler. His speed and reaction times were unmatched, and I don’t see anyone in his weight class touching him.
Its hard 2 hear these stories but i'd rather be slapped with the Truth then ignoring my gut feeling. Nobody is "perfect" and everyone has their flaws. Its what makes us human. Thanks for the great video 🙏.
When I saw the title I said to myself this is new, and I have never heard of Bruce and Bob fighting. Then when you said you heard it on Beerdy channel, then I said now it makes sense. That guy has all kinds of stories and tall tales about Bruce. 🤷♀
He was not only isolated and lonely but somewhat worried about his constant back pain and collapsing on the set of ETD. February 1972. I can’t help but think the disc issue pushed him toward some of the pain killers.
This idea that Bruce taking marijuana is a revelation from the letters is crazy. Marijuana is on the death certificate tox report. I read in more than one place that he preferred to eat it as it hurt his lungs to smoke.
The Robert Clouse biography briefly mentioned the effects of pain killers/ heavy training and Bruce’s sex drive. Way back in the 80’s when it came out.
This new era of Bruce Lee fans making him nearly a deity was exactly the opposite of what he stated he ever wanted. I seem to remember he said something about ‘man I can’t think of anything worse than being a picture on the wall of a school that people bow to one day’
This comments Basic message was spot on. Bruce hated mans negative weaknesses, like creating a false picture without a colour, or false prophet without any substance. Aknowledging these ,and tempering oneself to overcome these limitations, is what Bruce sherished.
After all Bruces character was very much about anti comformity and anti traditionist, wich make him inherently anti authority.
But that doesnt mean he was anti
self dicipline
Oh my gosh why would he fight with game show host Bob Baker?
@@johnreidy2804 Bob Barker?
@@nickcraft6235 He was fighting with Bob Baker too? Why? What is going on in this world?
Bruce collapsed on May 10, 1973.a precursor to his death on July 20,1973.
Everyone in the day partied. This version of Bruce's story is pretty damn accurate. He and Bob in fact were close friends...there's much more that isn't covered to prove this. I was around in the day and everyone kept up with everything Bruce Lee. if Bruce stepped over a speed bump some would say he climbed Mt Everett! he was bigger than life and many of the incredible things he did actually happened. He didn't believe in film enhancement or any of that stuff...the fact is the cameras at the time and camera men literally at times couldn't keep up with his speed. That's a fact. Bruce was the catalyst for the film industry to develop a different more modern camera system that captured details at higher speeds without doing all the adjustments on site. He was a Wildman for sure! Lol. The guy was having fun like other people of the day. But man was he something special! a freak of nature you might say....and that's the truth
They literally had to slow film 50% just to see the action of Lee
All I have too day about this conflict is Bruce was very unpredictable spirit
I mean you'll feel like that too if you just hot railed a whole line 🤣
Hollywood is the devil and if you are part of it, you judge yourself as evil. Bruce was a false prophet because he rejected the Kingdom of Almighty God our Savior. God will destroy Hollywood Babylon very soon. I pray for all MMA and martial arts honorable warriors to fight against lucifer and his kingdom for our Lord Jesus is the greatest warrior and won the victory for our salvation.
@@jamestodd9189 You heard the Internet and you bought right into it huh?
LOL...."they had to slow the camera down to catch Lee he was so fast"
No...that along with most of what you heard about Lee is a L I E/
If I'm wrong prove it.
And you don't prove it be quoting someone who is just repeating a rumor
@@johnmatonne7834 I'm 61 I dont buy anything show me I've seen and felt
Now lol. Me no care.
Since the early eighties, when I first saw Bruce'n'Bob tear it up I always had the feeling that they were buds.
I love Bruce Lee and his movies, philosophy and skills. Now as you can see, my name is also Bob Baker. I had never heard this before.
If you watch enough UA-cam you will find out that Bruce Lee fought everybody except Richard Simmons and Martha Stewart. And that he could have and almost did kill every one of them. Prince, I can't find fault with a single word you uttered in this video. Thank you for sharing it with us.
How did he do against Stewart? She must have learned some dirty moves in prison.
🤣 good one !
The fact that this channel actually divulged the REAL relationship with Baker is a testament to your legitimacy. Good job.
I have watched a few of your vids and your sincerity equals a sub from me matey...
Am a huge fan of Bruce Lee, bought all the books, didn't collect mags and stuff, just enjoyed his legacy. I remind friends low on steam about him a lot.
My two favourite fights ever are fist of fury vs Baker and colleseum vs Norris. No cgi, no fake and boring choreography just two fellas going at it. Still the best fight scenes ever 50 years on.
God be with you Bruce, and Mr Baker and Mr Norris.
Thanks for a good video.
My God, what a speed when he said I train martial arts every day!! And I would be sure he didn´t even try his best.
I can´t even move my hand half the speed he did move his foot! Just incredible!
You could if they speeded up the camera the way the did for Bruce Lee
Hey man, really enjoy your content. I'm not a regular viewer but whenever I watch your content seems well researched and unbiased
Lol he makes things up based on his own views; with zero evidence.
Thank you Goldenbell Training for your insight into the legendary Bruce Lee, a great martial artist with a unique talent, like many stars, Lee was flawed & it is interesting to see an alternative insight into what may have contributed towards his untimely demise.
Bob Baker was a close friend & student of Lee's, alongside Joe Lewis during the 60's, in fact Baker was one of Lee's first students dating back to 1963, he played the main protagonist in Fist of Fury & was featured in Way of the Dragon, Bakers training with Lee began many years before those movies were filmed.
Lee collapsed whilst completing dubbing on his latest project & was rushed to hospital, the doctor treating him discovered swelling of the brain & gave him the drug Mannitol, which reduced the swelling & Lee regained consciousness & made a full recovery.
The doctor quizzed Lee on his taking of recreational drugs where Lee admitted using hash, the doctor suspected he was violently allergic to it & advised Lee to discontinue using the drug & Lee upon returning to Hong Kong, was given a medical which he passed & was given a clean bill of health, he'd stopped ingesting the drug which gave him a false sense of security & soon after he began ingesting it again, soon thereafter he collapsed a second time & they were unable to revive him.
The doctor who treated Lee & saved his life during his initial collapse was interviewed many years later & stated him not being surprised to hear of Lee's second admission & his passing, in fact they expected to see him again. He remained adamant that Lee's overuse of narcotics contributed towards his demise, the doctor tried to warn Lee over the dangers of using hash as a recreational drug & Lee didn't believe him, which cost him his life.
Can I ask, what's source of the medical information you give here, please?
Thanks for the informative comment. And basicly i agree with you, The only problem is, there isnt a much of scientifical evidence behind the hash hypothesis.
Everyone is flawed.
Thanks for the info. Great video!!! 😎
Bob Baker lived in Hayward, eastbay of the San Francisco Bay Area. I passed his house but that's when the house was sold to someone else longtime ago. Maybe Bob sold it in the 1980s. Bob Moved on because he was not getting any movie roles after his role in Chinese Connection with Bruce Lee. He is of Russian descent.
People have to be realistic about this man ,he had faults like any other man and couldn’t be perfect.
no one is perfect true, but Bruce sadly was a narcissist through and through, now when talking about narcs you cant just say oh he hd faults because they opererate on another reality, you see so its better to make sure narcissist never exist again, they are virus to society they are a leech, they are manipulators.
Aside from Christ, all men have faults.
@@michaelangel25 so you mean by saying , just because so many did not even live at his era and did not see him do all these things , it cant have happend , i myself is a huge fan of bruce lee , but i dont see him or adore him as a god in martial art , i just accept that he was as good as people who saw him in action and trained with him are telling us he was . then he must have given many martial arts instructors the world over an impression of himself they really think mean something since they have his posters on their dojo walls .
@@michaelangel25 ok , well , i cant other than accept your point of view and opinion aboute bruce lee , and again ty for your responce .
@@stigtuneback1966 I agree with your comments. I dont agree with these people who think every martial artist who competes in competitions will automatically beat those who didn't. A street fight can happen out of the blue with no rules. And you wont have months to study film on your opponent.
We should never sugar coat the truth. It's absolutely true, that when you make little convenient lies, eventually, it catches up to you. And I respect you for not making a cult around a guy (even if that guy was BL) Thank you, Goldenbell.
Bro? So glad to have found this channel! Keep at it!
Congrats on 100k man! I love your stuff
Bruce was a grown man who made his own decisions. Even if the drugs were the direct and only cause, Baker can't be held accountable for Lee's downfall.
Downfall?If what Bruce Lee did in his short life is "downfall", especially in the end,where, you know, he made only one of the greatest martial art movie, ever, the movie that started the tsunami wave all over the world with the martial art phenomenon - "Enter the Dragon"...Well, such a "downfall" is to be desired, no?
@@acegrafik Not sure what point you're trying to make. It seems you thought I was talking badly about him or his career but if so you misunderstand. All I mean by "downfall" is death. My comment is only stating that even if cocaine was the direct cause of his death, you can't blame another man for Bruce's decision to use that drug
@@watchmman3408
I see.Point taken.Cheers.
Lee's cause of death, due to his addiction is his fault alone. However, Bob is to be partially blamed as well. There was no gun to his head to be forced to supply his friend addiction.. therefore if Bob had chosen to just say no, or make an excuse of. Then perhaps Lee would have looked elsewhere, but Bob's hands will be in theory Clean of any unfortunate situations.
@@gabrielacevedo7081 The only person that should realistically put blame on Bob was Bob himself. Surely he could have said no but so could Bruce. Bob was likely profiting financially from it and likely felt subservient to Bruce. Bruce was the star that was opening doors for all of them and they looked at him as a mythical figure. Their teacher, their master. It's not easy to say no to someone like that
Plus the culture and limited knowledge of cocaine at that time. The negative effects of the drug hadn't been thoroughly documented for the public the way they have been now
Thanks for all the great vids
I have heard a lot of people say that Bruce Lee had insane amounts of energy he got to where he didn't sleep a lot and he was just always at full speed I've known people taking drugs that was like that so it's not unreasonable that he may have been using as inspiring as Bruce was or is his story is also very tragic
He's a Sagittarius born in the year of the dragon.
The only Bob I ever heard Bruce wanted to kill was Bob Wall when he accidentally cut him with that broken bottle in their fight scene. He supposedly went on about how he wasn't going to pull his kick and end him. The director diffused the situation.
I'm a big, life long Bruce Lee fan and Ill never forget this;
I was in the music industry in the early 90's. Briefly getting to hob-knob and rub elbows -n -such and after one gig one person who was "in the know" referred to Bruce Lee as "The Hash Eater". It hit me hard at first. Then I was like,
"Yeah, so what. Big deal." The Bob Baker letters only confirmed what I had heard.
Btw, eating hash is better for the lungs of an athlete as opposed to smoking pot but not so good for the brain.
Great video as always 👍
Life..art.... Doesn't matter. Mr. Lee knows. You know too.
Great channel.
As usual very interesting. I learned something I was not aware of. Thank you.
Golden Bell training Bruce Lee inspired all of us to train in martial arts and when I was a kid I wanted to train Kung Fu karate Taekwondo they are Wing Chun Kung Fu kyokushin karate Taekwondo itf these are the best most well known used and practice styles of kung fu karate Taekwondo ever effective and work in self-defense street fighting I also want to add Sanda because I love Kung Fu so much more than karate Taekwondo and other Arts and the ones that mastered these four I will be able to make my very own hybrid Kung Fu made for self-defense and street fighting
I wish Asian dudes in NY city had your same attitude. West Coast you f* with the wrong Asian that is A. In a gang or B. Does know how to fight because he took some martial arts. Tai Boxing and Judo can go far and can always adjust by learning other more disciplines.
im fine learing does arts but thanks
Beerdy's latest video is titled, "Tony Liu Challenges Bruce Lee To A Real Street Fight..... You Won't Believe What Happened Next"
You're right Beerdy, I won't believe it!
@@JohnDavid888 Yes I heard about that years ago, but had forgotten about it!
@@JohnDavid888 I also heard deon the Choy Lee Fut guys thay the embarrassed Bruce Lee and his students when they challenges them in Frisco
Lol dude I love the way u threw Dave Chappelle clip in their... hilarious!!!!! And I'm a huge bruce fan myself and jeet kun do master!!!! Brother your facts are on point and your knowledge of bruce lee is true!!! Is correct!! I enjoy your videos of Sifu Lee !😇😇😇🙏🙏
It crushed me to hear about the "drug letters" but then I realized the guy was only human.
Love this video!
I’ve watched one too many of these. I’m ready for my first Bruce Lee movie ….
My skills became substantially elevated after I discovered Lee, back
in the 60's. I even Bested the two Black Belt Instructors, at the Comm-
unity College I used to attend. And I was only a Yellow Belt, at a Kaji
Kenpo Class back then.
I gotta say, you are the man! Very well done and concise with your comments and ideas in your videos. You are one of the few people who has done his homework. Beyond the myth of Bruce Lee and his exploits you seem to have real insight and awareness about what is truth and what is bullshit. There is a ton of bullshit out there and it's refreshing to hear someone speak from a place of truth. I also noticed if you don't know or are not sure, you say so. You don't make shit up. Having studied for over 53 years in various soft and hard arts and fighting methods it's a delight to listen to your ideas and opinions about Bruce Lee. Keep up the great work! Thanks, Nick Demitro.
The parts of the movie you have shown I don't remember them being on the DVD version. I did this see this movie in the theater but unfortunately it was many years ago so I just can't remember the entire movie. Thank you so much for posting this.
👍Great video bro.
Hi how are you I really like your videos I was in the martial arts for quite a few years and ran into your video channel I'm not really able to do it like I used to and you inspired me to get involved in Tai Chi and I really do like it could you please do some videos on Tai Chi thanks a lot appreciate you
Thanks for keeping it real!
You got a new sub!!
Thank You for mentioning Professor Wally Jay, hardly anybody ever mentions him as being part of Bruce Lee's instructor, back in the day they developed a mutual liking as they both believed in learning and teaching multiple fighting arts both martial and boxing as Professor Jay learned Judo, Ju-jitsu and boxing and developed his "small circle jujitsu" Professor said Bruce would be waiting in front of his house so that they could go train in the back of the house and they taught each other different styles and techniques and how to incorporate them. When Bruce Lee became famous Professor would invite him over and Bruce would just ask for his flight and room as Bruce was grateful for the times they spent together in Bruce Lee's lean years when he was living with his wife at James lee's house. Thanks again for mentioning the lost Oakland years that nobody seems to want to mention ever existed.
Talked about Wally Jay at least 3x in videos covering that phase of Bruce's life
I’ve been a fan of Bruce Lee ever since I saw fist of fury at a very young age and probably shouldn’t have been allowed to watch it at that time but that was my first time seeing any kind of martial arts and it was a great introduction for me at 6 years old and I sat and watched in amazement at what he could do and the sounds he made I found quite amusing and I was instantly hooked on the genre but if it wasn’t for Bruce Lee opening the door to the west I think things today would be very different and as far as the new revelations about his drug use I’ve found over the years that most closets have skeletons but this does not change my opinion of him and I hope that the rest of Bruce’s fans will see it the same way he was a pioneer and a hero to millions for decades and I still think his legacy will inspire people for many years to come
And thank you prince for your work and commitment to telling people the truth this is so far the best page for Bruce Lee fans to learn about a real legend he’s just as influential in 2024 as he was all those years ago
The one inch punch demo is flawed if you notice the opponent has his legs in line rather than in a stance granny can knock me over if my legs are in line, but good video
Yeah, all of those demos are parlor tricks. Like the guy with the hands to the side trying to block BL’s attack. No one stands like that in a real fight.
Keep up the good work
I have only recently become aware of your channel. I appreciate your dedication in bringing the unedited, brash truth about Bruce Lee's life. It would be nice to hear someone address the spiritual side, the reason his parents gave him a feminine variation of his true name. This was depicted in the movie Dragon: the Bruce Lee story, in the scenes where the unexplained attacks on him culminated to the point of Bruce fighting the entity to save Brandon his son. Please, give your take on this. Seems most important to me!
"Stories from the multiverse'... great line.
I don't train martial arts or even work out, (most I do is meditate for 1-2 hours a day, which should be more admittedly), but I love these videos, man. Keep up the good work
They was friends long before the filming of
First of Fury aka
The Chinese Connection.
Bob Baker was a student of his from the States and he invited Bob to work with him on the set , probably because he knew what they could do together with his style blending. 👏👋👏👋👏👋👋
Excellent video
Yes there's always a load of garbage put on the internet about Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee was the reason I started in Martial Arts seriously. The man is a Ledgend.
Prince...You are the Truth....And this is soooo refreshing after hearing and reading so many lies and mixed in with the truth about Bruce....You are very respectful BUT HONEST...In the giving of information about Bruce... I love how you break it down that the man was a superstar... BUT STILL A MAN...AND ONLY HUMAN...AND EXPERIMENTAL.... The drug use and side chicks should be no surprise to no one...and this doesn't make him a bad person... Being on some backstabbing tip wasn't in his nature according to the people that knew him.....But your humor, articulate approach, bravery, and honesty about this man Bruce Lee the icon...Is greatly appreciated...When do his life story "again "...I really hope they use your channel as a reference point.
Never heard of Beerdy, till he came on UA-cam!! 😮
People forget Bruce was a human that like everybody else, did make mistakes, that was struggling at his time. Bruce used drugs so what? Some people forget to put things in perspective of the 60's/70's.
Thank you for the video.
I haven't done any serious matial arts training in my life, but I have done professional powerlifting for the better part of 5 years, so I somewhat get the vibe.
Just the way you speak reminds me of important things in life, thank you for that. I bet I'm not the only one who thinks that way.
Imo not indulging so much in contoversy would help your channel grow, I might be wrong though, as things are currently on the internet)
I don't know what's so controversial about using someone's fake stories to talk about the real Bruce Lee, but the more "controversial" topics grow my channel the most.
What is the name of the movie with the funeral scene @4:27 ?
Thanks for keeping it real and factual
Prince thanks so much for always exposing the BS and getting to the truth. 🙏
@@wingit7335 Take a look at the Bruce Lee drug letters over at Kung Fu Genius. Prince also has a video that references it as well.
Good on you man glad you're a true historian
You hit the nail on the head🦾🧐
After hearing the yrs. An yrs. Of training I kno my Sifu didn't train him🙏😑im a student of Tae Kwan Do an Bruce Lee was my reason for learning Karate🙏😑i appreciate you makin this clear to everyone!!! Stay blessed my young brother🦾😑
Agree with you regarding Baker 👍🏽 💯
I thought the title said Bob Barker. Now I'm sad 😂
Did you do any coverage re: David Caradine- Prince I would immensely appreciate your providing illumination and I anxiously await your rendering. Please do remain strong.
What internal matial arts do you practice?
BOB Wall was Bruce Lee's Body Guard. Bob Wall/Baker is a standup guy too, he in many interviews , Would defend Bruce's Reputation.
Good video have my volume all the way up can barely hear you
I seen this movie in Detroit in the early 80s at a movie theater and never seen the same one again, I've seen this movie many times but not that one, must have been uncut and would love to see it again.
Any data on Bruce Lee's diet?? Love to hear
Thanks!
For a split second I thought the title said Bruce almost killed Bob Barker. 😂
You didnt hear about that? Happened during a martial arts exhibition at an unaired (for obvious reasons) taping of The Price Is Right 🤥🤣
Me too 🤣
Love the Dave Chappelle clip edit bro😂😂😂😂
Thanks 🙏
Have you done some videos on Brandon Lee or Sharon Lee?
What about Chuck Norris story? He said Bruce had a script for opiates from a dislocated disc from weight training and it didn't go so well when he mixed it with a headache remedy is what killed him?
Bruce died from complications from a heat stroke he previously had in China in a hot non air-conditioned editing room. The collapsing, headaches etc. came from that according to the autopsy show that went into detail about it. It also didn't help the fact he had his sweat glands removed from his arm pits months before his death. It makes sense medically. Untreated heatstroke can quickly damage the heart, kidneys, muscles and brain. It mentioned how the damage can get worse the longer treatment is delayed which increases the risk of serious complications or death
The heat stroke theory was thoroughly debunked in a documentary that came out last year where Bruce's brother, Robert, was investigating Bruce's cause of death. Matt Polly came up with that theory. The sweat gland removal from the arm
pits was purely cosmetic, and it would not have contributed to a heat stroke. It's not much different from wearing an anti-perspirant.
Are you going to do a video about Bruce Lee and Vic Moore ?
The kick and punch demonstrations are great, and we know that Bruce could kick and punch. But the recipients of the kicks and punch demos were willing participants who didn't brace their bodies and allowed themselves to be blown back. This might be a good thing for preventing injury, as well as making for an exciting demo, but it also exaggerates the actual power being delivered.
He got almost all of his original students after beating them up
Umm. Bob Baker was a student of Bruce Lee's in the mid/late (?) 60's and it was him who was on the end of Bruce Lee's punch at the Long Beach Karate Internationals in 1967.
So Bruce Lee knew Bob Baker and pretty well, years before Fist of Fury (love that fight scene btw).
I do sometimes get Bob Baker and Bob Wall mixed up. They kinda even have a similar vibe or something. I'd have to go back and Google when Bruce Lee met Bob Wall, but he'd known Bob Baker years before Fist of Fury ✌️
Where is this video ?
Great video, thanks for the deepdive.

This is the guy that said Bruce Lee had to learn from green hornet stunt men, when Gene Lebell himself said he was the one doing the learning. Gene is on record saying just that so it can never be disputed
Both things can be true. Gene and him were friendly, so he’s not going to criticize a legend that’s no longer with us. People that criticize Lee are automatically attacked by his loyalist.
@@airforcex9412
Yes, and few people openly abuse Bruce Lee like Quentin Tarantino did.
If someone had spent only fifteen minutes with Bruce Lee, he makes a series of videos about that experience explaining in tedious detail how fast, strong and powerful Bruce Lee was. And each video gets ar least ten thousand views, even a million views are not uncommon for such videos.
So, as you said, if you criticize Bruce Lee, you get attacked by his loyalists whereas if you praise him blindly, you could be laughing all the way to the bank!
We all know now Bob was his drug mule.
Somewhere in the mass of legend and lore, I remember somebody challenging Lee in Hong Kong, some nonentity wanting publicity. The story goes that Lee pointed to Baker, who was with him, and told him Baker was his bodyguard and if he could beat him he would fight. Any truth to this, or did I remember it wrong?
As for the drug use, Lee stepped down off that pedestal when he became a Hollywood star- they all did. It reminds me of the Frazier episode where he doesn't want to do a commercial because he felt it demeaned his role as a legitimate psychiatrist. Niles compared him to Marylin Monroe, that he had already left the pure profession and entered show biz- and 'they have already looked up your skirt'. Lee as a struggling teacher, searching for the core of combative arts, is very different from Lee becoming a success in movies.
😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
I read a book that wrote Robert stole Bruce's nunchucks & then poked his feet.
Bob Baker really is a "3 more drinks" type of guy. XD
Wow what a truth . Thank you for that
Not really into Bruce Lee stuff but your *Down to Earth* Analyses of this Martial Arts legend is intruiging...
Keep it up! 👍
I like your honesty but pls if i can ask you something, if s there chance to find some lessons for people who don' wish to dive to deep into m. arts?
2nd question is how is possible that i kicked 2 bullies in a high school who trained karate. I didn't fought against them in the same time, also i have no formal training but i did had to fight often since i grew up in such part of town, in specific era .
Moreover i hate fights so i was usually try to avoid em and those bullies would perceive it as perfect opportunity to try to humiliate me. Simply i did trained swimming and my shoulders and arms could punch 10's of times fast without me getting tired, as i told i have no training in ma. arts but i did aimed for their nose, or any open part of body that would cause them pain.
One even hit me a few times and put an arm around my neck in order to choke me, so i garbed him my arm that was on my right side and pulled him for hair and my left hand that was beside his back i start to punch as hard as i could in the back of his head. Damn i was afraid when i saw that blood fallows down from his face and he was getting like some sort of seizure so i stooped immediately. You know His hair was shivering. Then his friends approached to take care of Him, and felt sorry.
i did reported myself to principle because i was afraid that i caused him some health issues. It ended all OK, He didn't came to school for a few days. His friend who wished to fight me that ended up in less bloody manner. One had a brown belt and another had green i think.
but the never ever tried to attack me again. I'm sure that they don't teach them to go and bully people or try to showing off.
Now i have to explanation for that except that i know how to fight dirty ala street fight were there are no rules and i was i a good shape. This story can be cheked out with people who went with me in that high school. To this day i hate to fight but when someone push you and with to attack you or even hit you , what could i do? Except to defend myself.
So i would like to learn at lest something how to defend myself with hitting someone in the nose etc, i won't like to hurt people and when they pass that line i had a bit of problem to control my anger and would go with all my ''power'' to try to hurt them which sucks. That is not OK.
I don't know why some bullies perceive avoids of a fight and conflicts as calling out for them to show off. That may be another reason why i won in that stupid schools fights because they were underestimated me, like ala ''how don't train m arts so he is essay target'' , i don't know is that the way some of those people thinking but they are descrace for karate. IMHO karate isn't about that at all or i got things in wrong way.
Thx in adavce
You can talk about Bruce Lee for the next 200 years with this kind of tales.
Deep💯
agaib, thank you dude
Bob Baker a super heavyweight? Not a chance in hell, he's like almost the same size as Bruce Lee
I don't think he's a super-heavy weight either but he was a bit bigger than Bruce Lee,as for power I'm not really sure but pound for pound I'd think Baker was more powerful,but for fighting skill and accuracy,execution,speed and timing I'd say Bruce Lee was unmatched
Love the calling out of misinformation. Misinformation is dangerous, especially when given maliciously.
Its hollywood, Scooby-Doo isn't a real dog. People looked up to lee He was a hero to millions, That's it...
