Bob Wall Describes How He Sparred Bruce Lee on the Set of Enter the Dragon.

- This rare video was shot by John Graden in Bob Wall's Real Estate office in Burbank, CA as part of the research for the books, "Bruce Lee, Joe Lewis, and I: on Amazon: amzn.to/3zvLJks and "How to Master Bruce's Lee's Fighting Style." amzn.to/35nxIrn
One of the main plot points of Enter the Dragon doesn’t actually happen in the movie’s timeline itself. Wall had made the mistake of pissing Lee off on set.
In the fight scene where Wall breaks two glass bottles and jabs one at Lee, who would then kick the bottle out of Wall’s hand. After several rehearsals Bruce’s kick missed, Bob failed to drop the shattered bottle, and Bruce’s fist slammed into its jagged edge.
“Bruce was very angry with Bob Wall, “ recounted Chaplin Chang, who drove Lee to the hospital. “He said, ‘I want to kill him.’”
Lee was to sidekick Wall hard enough in the chest to send him flying into a crowd. “They put a pad on Bob,” recalled stuntman Zebra Pan, “but he took off like he’d been shot when Bruce kicked him! And Bruce insisted on 12 takes!” The force of Lee’s kick was so great that Wall flew into the crowd, breaking a poor, unassuming stuntman’s arm.

Alot of these tournament fighters were talking bad about Bruce Lee when he died. When he was alive none of them said anything to him. Jim Kelly said it best Bruce Lee was Unbelievable and was a level higher than the fighters of that time.
Jealousy
That is so so dam true they pop lots of talk after he pass boy if he was alive and herd that they would of been done no man at that era could not stand toe to toe with Bruce that man knew he shit even Jim Kelly new how he was a great fighter and John Saxon may they all rest in peace ✌️
Type hier in the searchbox "Kung Fu Genius John Little" and watch the thing. Little cleans up all claims by Wall, Norris etc. If you dont have time to watch the whole thing, start at 38,00 Minutes watch for 10 minutes, there they speak about the tournament fighters.
Jim kelly was among the few who actually told the truth of just how good bruce lee really was! The man was head and shoulders above them all......he lived, slept, ate, and breath martial arts!
Exactly my friend thats why he was what he was... A legend being a perfectionist in his martial arts training and moves.... But for some odiots like these are very hard to admit this... Apart from jim kelly and a little few others... Shame on these bustards to talk shit about a legend as bruce really was ❤️❤️😡😡😡😡😡
They should be ashamed of themselves, especially if Bruce Lee called them friends!?!?!!
Ok let's see here...Bruce Lee trained his whole life in Martial Arts both for the art and second for real life application. Everyone says he's never been in any really competition...obviously he would have been disqualified each and every time if not put behind bars...as he trained for real life situations...get the job done as quick and efficiently as possible...Side kick to the knees...there goes your legs...foot to the groin...there goes your jewels...hand strike to the neck...there goes your breathing...eye gauges...there goes your sight...No playing around here.
That's all Folks....
Yep, all that talk about he didn't fight in the ring or the tournaments. What he did was for the street, he wasn't a sports fighter. And to be a good fighter you don't have to fight in the ring with rules. There are no referees, no time limits and no weight class division to save you out on those streets. You could die especially if your head hits the concrete. Also don't gotta worry about weapons or more then one guy ganging up on you in the ring. Real fights are not fair, anything and everything goes.
Ya' said it like it IS, brother Drew. I've had a couple 'Go rounds'
with these kind of guys...Why do I waste my time? They are, I'm
convinced----Quite insane!
@Mike Baxter Evidently----you don't read too well. Either
that, or your comprehension leaves MUCH to be desired.
Hahaha lol. Right on the money!
Bare in mind he DID compete in boxing for 12 interschool competition, defeated 3 opponents in the very FIRST round, earning his way to the three time british Champion Gary Elms and defeated him.
this is not sparring, is rehearsing the side kick for a scene, the one where bruce kicks bob wall and bob picks up two bottle and stands up.
So he's a liar. He was Chuck Norris student too. I think Bob Wall has issues.
@@georgespogacich3066 The scenes are not put together with what Bobb is actually saying.
@@shawnsmith2610 What do you mean?
They did spar though before . Even Jim Kelly.
But he does call this clip sparring because they improv almost everything they do
YEP!!!!!!!!!!
Anybody notice the terror on Walls face as he tries to escape from Bruce's backhand and sidekick. I would not be surprised if there weren't some skidmarks in his drawers lol. He didn't spar him he freaking ran from him.
Bob: “yea I was a punching bag against Bruce Lee…..err I mean I sparred against him…yea sparring”
So many say they cld beat Bruce Lee..and some claimed they sparred and fought him.all footage I've seen looks like Bruce and whoever are just playing around and practicing
wow seeing the side kick in real time.. dam bruce was fast and that side kicks hard
MAN, BRUCELEE WAS 140 LBS PACK WITH PURE POWER, VERY FAST AND PERCISE, 50 YEARS LATER AND EVERYONE IS STILL TALKING ABOUT BRUCE..
This is a Disgrace how they bad talk Bruce Lee after 50 years
@Malibu exactly Jim said in a interview it was the producers Keller and Weintraub
Quite a few martial artists that were alive and interacted with Bruce Lee during his time on this earth when they speak of him in ill terms I can only judge it by the skill level that I see in those movies even though it's just a movie his skill level is so much better than everyone else's so I dismiss what they say about beating him and all this other nonsense, he was a superior athletic specimen and everything he did was crisp and precise and quite frankly everyone else looks sloppy 👊
Exactly 💯
😂😂😂
The untalented speaks about talent !
Think Bruce have beat the shit from both.
Bob was a untalented liar.
Joe Lewis was jealous of Bruce Lee in both !
Fighting force, and of course of his impact in Cinema and popularity worldwide !
Legend Nr. 1 - Bruce Lee
Peter archer aka parsons, said he saw bruce spar Bob and Bob was having much difficulty because of lees sheer speed and athletiscm. Bruce made bob look real slow.
I can imagine that 🔥
@UCGG16b6wIYnCjnA5wqXzMOg you idiot, they were point fighters, swimming on dry land , Bruce would batter them.
Can you provide a link or a source for what Mr. Archer said? I’m a sucker for info like that.
@@Garrett316 It's in one of my 1000 mags in garage. I'd have to find it.
But archer said Bruce was poetry in motion and he he had an intuitive sense about how he went about doing things like a sixth sense. That's what made Bruce so special is what archer went onto say.
Bruce made most if not Everyone he was with look slow.
Bob wall owes his whole career to bruce lee,without bruce doing what he did they would be unknown that includes norris,Kelly,innosanto,and many more have profited from crossing paths with bruce regardless of whether he was a real fighter or athletic actor.
Lee had amazing quickness and speed. No wonder they had to slow down the camera speed.
Actually the technique is to speed up the camera, probably from 24fps to about 30fps. This allows more "snapshots" per second otherwise the camera would have captured a bit of a flinch and Lee's full movement wouldn't have been captured. It would have looked weird and incomplete. I'm surprised Lee (knowing about cameras) just didn't slow down a bit. It wouldve let his "opponents" react authentically and spared any special camera settings.
Bob-slow as hell-Wall talking a lot of smack,saying he went to Lee's house to to see if Lee was going to smash him,I doubt this happened.Never underestimate the male ego.Wall was Lee's punching bag.
Bruce Lee about Bob, "He could take a kick to the nuts like nobody else in the business..."
When he says “fuck him, I’m not afraid of anybody” in regards to freddy saying “Bruce said he’s gonna kill you”
Sure he did. What a load of bullshit. I think most of these guys, if not all of them were afraid of Bruce.
What you're saying is exactly right on. And pretty much what I heard from Danny Inosanto and Greg Lee.
Was Bruce afraid to swim?
Actually Bruce Lee and Bob Wall were good friends
Jim Kelly , told me personally what occurred during the Bob Wall fight scene, based on his discussion with Bob Wall and why Bob didn’t drop the bottles when Bruce got accidentally cut. Bob told him that he didn’t think Bruce kicked him hard enough to force the bottles to drop. Jim told Bob , “it’s the movies man “, they can adjust speed for that regardless.
He didn't tell you anything ,clearly you just repeating what Jim Kelly stated in the Bruce Lee documentary Curse of The Dragon.
I sense sour grapes, whatever. Who is Bob Wall ? LOL
He along with Lewis, Norris, etc they all know Lee had a tremendous speed advantage over them so they can say whatever they want now. Easy to talk smack years after he has passed away. Wall trying to pretend Bruce was no big deal " not afraid of anyone ".... okay, doesn't change the fact he could kick his butt and everyone else's. Lots of false bravado in his words as well as a little bit of resentment for the
" kung fu " stylist is what I got out of some of the comments from the old school Karate fighters. Yeah, not bad for a Kung Fu guy. And who by the way was the student and who was the teacher ? That says it all right there.
And as the very humble & respectful Jim Kelly said ounce about Bruce "He was untouchable" I don't think anyone could of have said it better.
Punisher 777 Spectacular answer to those bullies statements.
There are, as you know, punisher, a few MORONS out there in
Loopy land that seem to think Lee was no more than an
Actor. You can't reason with these guys----they're either com-
plete IDIOTS...or just Trollers attempting to "rattle our chains."
Or...Both!
FACTS!
Yeh what the hell is going on in this video? Why are they talking about Bruce like this? So called friend. Bizzare video.
UH HUH!!!!!!!!!
Bruce Lee confirmed a lot of these guys betrayed him back in the day, and he made them jealous. Bunch of point fighters trying to talk garbage on a guy who could really kill them. Joe got one of his first kick boxing opportunities with Bruce as his unseen coach. Ever seen that footage? I have it. LEO Fong could tell you stories. He went back to Bruce’s house to ask if he was going to kill him? Cuz he was terrified. Bob in those days wasn’t so great. Bruce was the evolution.
you have that footage? You know people will ask to see it now lol.
send the Footage please!!!
@@persephoneenigma1849 go to my channel there’s a video there of Joe fighting in one of his first kickboxing matches. He has an awesome JKD style to his art because he trained with Lee.
@@AztecUnshaven go to my channel there’s a video there of Joe fighting in one of his first kickboxing matches. He has an awesome JKD style to his art because he trained with Lee.
Wow! Bob Wall is so fast,he moves backward so fast 😯
That's probably what happens when you spar a lot with someone like Lee. You're forced to develop fast body reaction speeds to avoid being hit.
LOL
"Fuck him, I'm not afraid of anybody"? 😳 Bob, be respectful. No one would know who you were if it wasn't for Bruce.
Why didn't you tell everybody that s*** when he was still alive
Never heard or read Bruce talking shit about these guys, I guess he had class and confidence.
My my how Bob's attitude has changed towards Bruce over the years... This is prime example of why Bruce became paranoid of those around him towards the end of his life.
as you get older you ego isnt as big, so they could allow themselve to be more honest.
Lee was doing tons of cocaine bro...one of the main of many side effects is making a person VERY paranoid.
@@philosopher0076👌🏼
@@philosopher0076 False bullshit info.
@@samlechiq8173 False bullshit?? Bullshit??? Wrong. We have 50 letters or so Lee wrote to Bob Baker, with a few also written by Linda Lee..with most talking about cocaine, ordering amounts of cocaine, saying he " needs " cocaine...and purchasing a scale, for selling it...all in Lee's handwriting, on Lee's private stationary paper, and in Linda's handwriting, with dates on the letters AND the accompanying air mail envelopes from Hong Kong that the letters were sent in, with stamped postal service emblem and DATES postmarked. And the letters were put up for sale to an auction house BY BOB BAKER'S DAUGHTER. So, now tell me how much "bullshit " you wanna eat dude.
Is that a John Keehan thumbnail photo? Thats my martial arts grandfather. The first brave white guy to teach blacks in Chicago when no one else did in the early sixties. Anyway, I know Bob and his wife and knew Joe . Both staples of my childhood in the art. Both worked with Lee closely. Lewis was Lee's physique example and Bob could sell a punch on film better than most. But this is a betrayal. Lee put both these men in film period when every martial artist in the sixties wanted a break in movies. Joe had looks and was tough in the ring but his charisma didn't translate. The camera didn't like him. He was no actor. Bruce tolerated Bob because of Chuck Norris. He was a good crash dummy on film. That was it. A Chinese guy was their boss and they never got over it. They took advantage of the Bruce Lee posthumous gravy train documentaries and said what they were paid to say while smoldering of that fact of NO ONE remembering their tournament wins and Lee, who didn't need tournament competition, remains the martial arts template to this day. Shame on them for this sacrilege to Lee's memory.
John Keehan aka Count Dante, the “Deadliest Man Alive”! Do you know and first / second hand stories about him? He seemed quite the character but also could throw a punch.
And it doesn’t seem like Joe Lewis is talking badly on Bruce here, sounded like that was more Bob Wall being a clown
@@mick2spic Greetings. John Keehan was the love/ hate martial artist of Chicago. He could convince you it was ok to chew food with loose teeth. A used car business, book stores, underworld ties, and a hair dresser for playboy bunnies...and an excellent midwest martial artist. Tough teacher who drilled the basics. Taught most if not all the black martial artists coming out of sixties Chicago. Excellent promoter. The public packed his tournaments. He died of a bleeding ulcer in his sleep in may of 75. His grave is unmarked.
@@shihanuke3683 Greetings, thanks for the info. Man, that is a bummer that his grave is unmarked. He deserves a stone simply saying “Here rests John Keehan, aka Counte Dante: The Deadliest Man Alive”. I remember there was a fellow who was gathering interviews of people who knew him and was going to put out a documentary. But I guess it never got completed. Wish they would release them on UA-cam
@@mick2spic That would be Floyd Webb. Look him up.
Bob Wall has changed his stories so many times smh... That clearly didn't look like a sparring match, looked like rehearsal for a scene.
It was either a rehearsal for a scene or they were simply having fun playing around as friends Obviously NOT trying to hurt one another.
Bib was trying to block his kicks but kept getitng hit on the chest.
Bob Wall his whole life made his name and money from his role in 3 Bruce Lee movies. He always praised him on camera and spoke about him in glowing terms. Then we see this video and his true opinion comes out when he is with one of his boys. They all were inferior to him, they all wanted to become movie stars but didn't have that star persona like he did, they also didn't have his speed or his technical knowledge. Joe Lewis achieved a lot as a point fighter and was a decent kickboxer until everyone else started doing sparring then he started losing. Bruce Lee used to put down point fighting and made Joe dislike it, and he got Joe sparring too. Joe went and did boxing to improve his hands. When he started full contact nobody could make it beyond the 2nd round, but once people started sparring as well Lewis was no longer the best. Chuck Norris was a point fighting champion making no money from that, but he had karate schools. Bruce gave him the role in Way of the Dragon and that started his career in movies and after his schools went bust, acting became his main job. Joe Lewis was offered the role first but turned it down cos he didn't wanna lose. Now, Bob Wall is the biggest joke of all of them. He used to lose in most of the point fighting tournaments he entered, he ran karate schools with Chuck Norris and was always following Chuck around like a puppy dog. He got his role in Way of the Dragon due to his friendship with Chuck and then in Enter the Dragon and later Game of Death in 1978. His acting career was all thanks to Bruce casting him. He then has the nerve and the audacity to do this video where he was saying to Joe Lewis, look how he holds his hands when he kicks, look at his feet. Joe himself knew how good Bruce's footwork was because he actually took Bruce's footwork. If you watch Joe's point fighting career, he was always orthodox (led with his left side), but when he had his first full contact fight in 1970 all of a sudden he's bouncing around and he's a southpaw. He had been training with Bruce and chose to adopt the southpaw stance and the footwork. He even ended the fight in round 2 with a combo he said Bruce taught him, the double right hook. He started teaching kickboxing mixed with aspects of Jeet Kune Do and would teach broken rhythm and other stuff he took from Bruce. So for Bob Wall, the worst out of the three of them, to put Bruce down shows how he has that insecurity. Joe, Chuck and Bob couldn't do any seminars or any interviews without being asked about Bruce, and thats why they all became bitter over the years. Chuck used to always be respectful about Bruce, then after years when asked who would win a fight he started saying "well I was a professional fighter and Bruce wasn't". Erm, sorry but point fighting isn't being a pro fighter, as Joe Lewis said, if someone waves their hand in front of you they get a point and win the fight". Joe went from teaching his stuff and praising him to occasionally putting him down and saying he wasn't a fighter and although he taught him things that helped him improve, Bruce wasn't a real fighter. And Bob just exposed himself here. When he says about Bruce supposedly saying he was gonna kill him that he thought "f**k him, I'm not scared of anybody", that's not what he had said for years beforehand. He said that when Bruce was gonna do the big side kick, if he wanted to kill him then he would been able to do it then. You can tell that Bob was worried by the rumors. Joe must've been thinking, yeah yeah, Ok Bob, whatever you say. Everyone knew Bob couldn't do anything on his own and always needed Chuck. Everywhere Chuck went, Bob would be right behind him. And Bob even keeps accusing Jim Kelly of not wanting to spar Bruce, Jim is the only one from that era amongst the karate guys that gave Bruce his credit, probably because he wasn't a racist white redneck like the others. Bob tries on the extended clip to block Bruce's kicks but can't do it and he claims to slap one out of the way, that's clearly not what happened. He got caught every time.
He’s no better than Mike Stone and Joe Luis so how can he beat Bruce Lee. Bruce was the teacher among them both.
Bruce Lee was the greatest.
Great film, thanks for posting it, it speaks for itself. People are such experts on Bruce and his abilities, yet thankfully we haven't been subjected to the tedious comment, 'he didn't fight in competitions', so far. For people interested in Bruce's journey, I recommend the book available from Amazon, 'Bruce Lee, the nearly man: a 1964 to 1973 timeline' by Ruth Indesit.
Why the dishonesty? Bob Wall is talking about film choreography they were working on, nothing else, not a sparring match. Don't any of you fear God or Gods or Karma? Lying is a sin in most religions and perpetuating dishonesty is considered a huge sin, even people with no religion hate liars.
Peter Archer said he saw Bruce spar Bob wall on the set of ETD and that Bob was having much difficulty because of Bruce's sheer speed and athletiscm. He was making Bob look real slow. Peter went onto say it was Bruce sixth sense that made him special he was poetry in motion. And that Bruce had an intuitive sense about how he went about doing things.
Funny you say that aboute the sparring , i dont se any sparring either .
@@iluvcliffrichard Peter was on point.
There were plenty of rumors and heresy after Bruce passed on. Luckily, there are film clips and interviews with Bruce's closest friends which serve to quell untruths.
@@Quantum3691 yep, it’s easy to act tough when someone or something is not if the room with you! Kelly pretty much stated he saw Bruce spar with the best, so called champions, and was unbelievably good. I trust his opinion more than others because he was pretty much neutral, fair, and knows what he is talking about.
Брюс Ли ...ЛУЧШИЙ..💛💙💪👍✌️💯💯💯💯💯
The full version of this that Graden put out had messed up sound but this clip proves he has the full thing with perfect sound.
What I can never ever understand is why did any of them not just slap Bruce at the time. They were all obviously far far better so why didn't one of them just do it? And that is a question only they can answer. His hand here, his legs there, he didn't kick high, he was only little, so there was ample opportunity to slap him. Why did it never happen? Its ok saying this and that after the guy is dead and cannot either speak or demonstrate otherwise or indeed fail even, but one thing doesn't change it is still Bruce Lee that is being talked about, not the wannabees.
That's the problem. Non of them, including bruce faught anyone of any stature. Joe Lewis, Chuck Norris got in the ring to test themselves but no one was a real martial arts fighter back then It took the UFC to get Karate and Kung fu men to really fight. I think Bruce was ahead of his time in this respect, mixing techniques but there wasn't anyone for him to fight or a medium that would make this possible. Also be aware all you see of these fighters apart from the ones with a ring career is them fighting in movies where Bruce was scripted to be faster, stronger and win. People watch enter the dragon and say look how much faster Bruce was than Wall, Kelly, John Saxon who wasn't even a martial artist. Remember it's a film. Look at Michael Jai White and Scott Adkins, for my mind much better martial arts actors than anyone in Enter the Dragon. If they fight one will win and one will lose. Who is the best? who ever the script writers want to win.
@@credibility63 Bruce was faster cause it was written in the script? Are you stupid?
@@credibility63bruh. if that is the case then bruce wouldn't look even much faster in the real life compared to the movies
@@ikmalhakimharun3823 That doesn't change the fact that nobody was really fighting back then. Just enjoy the movies. Jackie Chan beat Benny Urquidez in a movie do you think he would win in real life? He's stated he wouldn't. Do you think Bruce would have been Mohamed Ali? He said he wouldn't.
For those who say Bruce was never in a real fight..there are some of your favorite martial artists that Bruce embarrassed..but would never speak on it..Jim Kelly mentioned this before he passed..but as far as a real fight goes..chuck norris..bill superfoot Wallace ..Joe Lewis..benny the jet..all fought in either point karate(rules) or full contact (rules) neither of these sport competitions is REAL fighting..so by definition..these guys aren't REAL fighters because they had rules in competitive..SPORT karate..not real fights..ijs
Now THERE is a damn good, VALID point, Mr. REBEL..
Thank you for your words of Wisdom.
Of these Benny is probably the best confirmed IRL tough guy still alive. And as far as I can tell honest. I wonder if he ever got to know a BL student and has something to say about it.
@@uncrunch398 I'm almost certain he HAS known a student, or
two, of Bruce's. Back then they all had a knack of gettin' around
the Martial Art Circuit---meeting each other.
@@uncrunch398 And remember, Bruce was hard NOT to notice.
Ugh, no Benny did full contact against the best of his time so that's total bullshit.
The footage isn't the part where Bob Wall is also trying to strike Bruce.
He never hired Jim Kelly or Jackie Chan for Enter The Dragon ,Jim Kelly was hired by Fred Weintruab and Jackie was hired by Golden Harvest.Bob Wall sure could lie.
What's funny is these "has been", "almost famous fighters" like Bob Wall and Joe Lewis try to constantly say little things to demean Bruce. He's not around to defend himself so they try to somehow undermine how great he was. They don't make it obvious but it's the little things that they said. And the story that Bob Wall went to Bruce's house to ask if Bruce was going to kill him is complete BS. I asked Danny Inosanto about this and he said it never happened.
These two are bitter, jealous back stabbers. They had a completely different attitude when Bruce was alive. Did Joe Lewis challenge Bruce to a fight? No. Did Bib Wall? No. He certainly had the opportunity on the set of "Enter the Dragon". But he didn't. Imagine how world famous he would have become if he publicly fought Bruce Lee and defeated him. Funny thing he didn't try...
Well said! Joe Lewis kept contradicting himself over the years. In some interviews he said he got nailed by Bruce and that Bruce hit as hard as a heavyweight. Yet here they both talk smack. Bob Wall is a liar and actually went to jail for cheating.
...Thank you!
@@bertt1055 he also said that bruce wasn't a fighter and never sparred. So if he didn't spar why did he randomly punch you in the head? 🤣
How do you know Dan Inosanto? That's cool!
Well said
I see Bruce Lee's kicked connected every time
No. Lee learned in The Green Hornet that films are in 2D. He learned to work the camera after that .
Looked to me they all landed too. He says he slapped one of the kicks down, yeah right LOL
Just trying to downplay Lee's skills.He knows Bruce Lee is too fast for him.
@@punisher7772 yes these fools only open their mouth when the other person has passed away

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nobody talks about how fast or powerful Chuck Norris or Bob Wall is.
They are all the same norris. Wall .lewis bigging them selves up over the years.but one thing they all know, is that bruce would have slapped their buts and they know and so do we RIP Bruce.
nobody knows since Bruce wasnt a fighter.
@@cuzz63 only u kid u with bob and them hated lol
true dat!
@@cuzz63 Actually they all sparred, trained, and worked together. Bruce was maybe a little faster and the others a bit stronger. Lets not act like Bruce was light years ahead of everyone.
when i think about it carefully. i guess norris is the most genuine friend compared to others. ofc dan inosanto is the closest to bruce tho. altho he did lied too. bcs he once said. bruce can kill him. and bruce and him had sparred . but now he said . bruce never spar with him . but the good thing about norris. he never said he can beat bruce. if i not mistaken. and norris always said that bruce can be a top fighter if he wanted to. joe lewis also said kinda the same thing. but joe sometimes gave unnecessary comments like saying jdk practitioners can be beated by any boxer. and that statement came out of nowhere. the interviewer didnt even ask him about that. that is why i said chuck norris is the most genuine bruce ever had. ofc besides dan inosanto
The conversation heard in this brief video was meant as a tribute to Bruce Lee. Both the late, Bob Wall and Joe Lewis were close friends of Lee. Lewis even trained together with Lee at some point of his fighting career. They learned and bounced ideas off each other. Sure, they had their differences. But, they weren't enemies for certain. Wall was recounting his experiences, filming and acting in Enter the Dragon. True. There were rumors being spread at the time, that Lee wasn't happy with Wall. All these took place before they became close friends. Once they've known each other and post Enter the Dragon, Wall, Lee, Lewis and many others are nothing but good friends. They treated one another as fellow, martial artists.
No. Joe Lewis and Bruce weren’t even on speaking terms when Bruce died. Also Bob wall is a piece of shit, he has done nothing but slag Bruce off since he died. His opinion on Bruce changes as often as the wind
I can assure you Bruce didn’t learn anything from Lewis.
@@axelstone3131 You're entitled to your opinions. I know what I know.
@Axel Stone Bob Wall has already passed on. Do show some respect for those who are no longer around.
@@axelstone3131 actually, he learned his stance, watch how Bruce stands in Fist of Fury with his hands clenched by his waist, that was from Lewis. Even in Enter the Dragon before sidekicking Han into the spear look how he was standing, that is from Lewis. Plus he worked with Joe on making the sidekick better with less motion and more power. He copied Joe's stand so well that that idiot Beardy saw a point tournament fight of Lewis and posted it on his page saying it was Bruce.
Bob wall in another fifty years will be saying he hired bruce
If you notice he also tried to punk Jim Kelly in a backhanded way saying that he wanted no part of it as a Jim Kelly was scared of him too
Easy to talk easy to talk that smack when the man is dead
Yeah they start disrespect him shame on them
This footage is where the pictures came from. They were definitely for the slo motion side kick scene
RIP BOB WALL THANKS FOR SHARING
Sharing your expert ability to backstab
the speed of Bruce was extraordinary
Bob Wall "A good 2000 in the background sitting on the wall" 😂
Hell, people say Bruce was cocky. Bob thought he was some
kind of Martial Art god!! "Not afraid of ANYone," eh? I guarantee
you---there were dudes that could have KICKED His A**!!!
RIP Joe Lewis and Bob Wall
The Sad thing is Bruce Lee was just about to become the biggest star not just in Hong Kong but in THE WORLD! It’s so tragic. It would’ve been like Elvis, Beatlemania, Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson or Muhammad Ali, and Mike Tyson. All in their prime. Bruce would’ve been Absolutely Amazing and everywhere!! Even Studio 54! Or like Jim Kelly said he was even a step above these greats. He was unbelievable!! It’s funny after we lost Bruce? I didn’t see anyone else?? Taking over the big screen, or Our Hearts? In the Last 50 Years?? Bruce Lee Legend.
Today an Asian man can play leads in Hollywood. 50 YEARS LATER!!!!
Doesn't matter what era you're in if there is a top dog no matter how good there will be people that will think they are better even if they aren't
Bruce waz too fast for them,, it waz a real fight bob will fall in a second
You know there was really too much bad talk in this video about Bruce and it is edited off. Doesn't matter much now. But truth is Joe really could not bear much of him because of their egos where clashing too much. As for Bob Wall there is a 2020 interview with Bruce Willow where he really puts many things in place .
This seems to be just a rehearsing clip and not sparring.
They sparred without footage as Bruce didn’t make any actual fights a spectacle
Wow Bruce is fast like a lightning, making another black belt look like a turtle
RIP BOB! Great leader, friend and person. You shall always be in our hearts.
I don't believe the story about Bruce being angry with Bob Wall at all, about his cut wrist. I think it was a stupid rumor made up by the director of Enter The Dragon, Robert Clouse. Bob Wall and Bruce were friends and Bob spoke well of Bruce, even after Bruce's death.
What’s with the criticising of Bruce by so called friends? Bizarre video
Bob Wall moves like his name implies
Sounds like some jealous old men.
What year was this conversation? Bob Wall as did Joe Lewis, changed their stories all the time depending on who they're with.
That was all choreo and Bob Wall will always be known as Bruce Lee’s punching bag and Joe Lewis tried films and sucked at it..
Allegedly, Joe and Bruce had a falling out which if it hadn't occured we would be talking about Joe in the lead of ROTD instead of Chuck. Many were envious of Bruce and didn't accept his confident demeanor and demands on the sets of some films too well.
@@Quantum3691 lots of jelous martial artist towards bruce skill
@@ariturbo4094 Very true. That will always be the case with certain talented individuals. There is no shortage of critics and haters sitting on the fence.
And yet another good point. Well done, "Son."
Why is the audio like that? It's like they're talking bad about Bruce Lee.
Bob Wall in an interview talks about a video held by Ahna Capri of 10 minutes where he is Bruce Lee and him sparring, is the beginning of this video from this video?
It's a feint dummy
Convenient that he claims all this AFTER Lee passed and cannot refute any of this.
"Look where his hands are...& look at his feet". And look how you're desperately trying to backpedal, Bob. Look at how his kicks are STILL getting thru your "defence", even tho you're backpedaling as fast as you can & pathetically failing to block. Yeah Bob, let's take a good look at the footage!
This is very common talk about a man who has not been matched by anyone since his unfortunate passing. Since there has been no one who could touch him since, opposing language is inevitable. As well as, convenient.
They were not sparring. They were doing their scene for Enter the Dragon, practice scene. Bob Wall is clearly lying.
So Bob wall, did you confront Robert clouse after Bruce Lee and you got a understanding it was all good for him instigating ?
You didn't mention anything about that.
Bruce Lee is World of the Best
Woow, saya menemukan video dokumenter yg sangat bagus 👍👍😁😁
Bob was dirty for talking bad about Bruce. Jim Kelly was the only real friend to Bruce Lee.
My youth favourite films
It’s not that these guys are trying in particular to demean or diminish Bruce Lee, it’s just that they didn’t put him up on a pedestal and worship him as some kind of Superman the way a lot of these people commenting here do.
I’ve known people who worship Bruce Lee for the last 40 years and I’ve also known people who were from that era who experienced him firsthand, and said he was a fairly extraordinary athlete, but he was also just human.
For a couple of decades after his death there were a lot of rumors and conspiracy theories that Bruce Lee had faked his own death, and was living inconspicuously somewhere else because he had to go into hiding due to threats from Asian syndicate crime gangs.
I guess some people just have to have immortal heroes. Reminds me of somebody else lots of people worship…
Или просто фильм о каскадерах. Боб должен быть супер.
What year was this ?
This is not sparring, there just playing around?
All the haters even said Bruce wanted to kill Chuck when he said that to Chuck on the phone when asking him to act in Way of the Dragon. Clearly people with no real friends don't know what is trash talking. That finisher kick was an act kick to be done on Bob Wall because Bob was the only who could do that that stunt. Bruce was so precise with it to his fake kick could push Bob flying across the floor at such speed imagine if it was not an act.
Actually Bruce had a agreement with Wall. That Bruce could hit him full contact. Wall said that he was a tournament fight and he was used to being hit. Wall is on a interview saying this it's on UA-cam.
@@1Stevenc Wall is one of bruce lee's crew that would be in any movie Bruce's makes. Bruce probably wanted Joe instead because his got a nice body for movies.
Bruce wasn't using full kicks on Wall, look at the slow mo, compared the kick he use for breaking suspended board, one is full thrust while the other for Wall was halfway extended onward. Too bad, Wall didn't make it big, he did try though, guess Chuck was in the way 😆
@@Ming1975it's a push kick? It's meant to look real and fast but there's no real follow through and there's no snap at the correct moment to avoid serious internal damage. Lee knew how to hit someone make it look convincing but not cause serious injury.
You can always tell the inexperienced fighters...they move straight forward and straight back...doesn't matter what they're a "master" of
Well what about being able to tell where the camera angle is and rehearsing for a fight scenes in a movie?...Because... that's what this is! It's rehearsal for a camera angle and rehearsal for a fight scene in a movie. This isn't a real fight. They're rehearsing for the camera angle!
@@PaulA-sq7cw People actually thought this video depicted an actual fighting footage between Lee and Wall? It's a freaking rehearsal, people! Geez!
@@PaulA-sq7cwidk what is ur point. bob himself said this was a sparring. that is why people keep saying this is a sparring. and no. this is not the fight scenes in the movie.
Fuck him ? Yeah, you and your master Chuck never give Bruce real credit. Bruce took care of both of you putting you two into his movies. Trust me, you didn’t say Fuck Him. Instead of being a man and just showing up the next day into the set to see if there was heat, you instead, out of fear, drove to Bruce’s home and begged Him NOT to hurt you. Let’s be honest. Then you make fun Jim Kelly. First saying that it was YOU who hired him? I didn’t know you played such a role with negotiating who gets hired and who gets fired. You said, Jim Kelly wanted no part in sparring as if he was scared or frightened. Dude was middle weight champion. But, he was scared. Well, out of all you bums it was Jim Kelly who truly praised Bruce and told the world just how good Bruce really was. Not from reading about him in a book but actually being around and socializing with Bruce. Jim said, Bruce was ahead above them all which he included himself. Now, that is a honest man.
He didn't hire jim
What is bob wall trying to say? Then he gonna say jim kelly did want no part it...sounds like he boasting
So he was Bruce uki
Bruce Lee is the son of God 🙏
Bob was like a bigger, more intimidating version of Norris; he could do all the same moves and also had a serious wrestling background from a young age. In my book, based on everything I have listened and read, Wall was more well versed in functional martial arts when both him and Lee, who are almost the same age, were in their prime but after Lee's death Wall continued to grow as a martial artist; venturing into BJJ among else. Some of Wall's stories may be embellished but having listened to the interview he did before his death you can find a lot of humility amid the alleged bravado. He said he was taken on a ride in wrestling and judo and severely bullied in school as a youngster. He mentions having gotten his come-back with a makeshift weapon and so forth. Lee was not ranked in any martial art; he studied some of the flimsiest and most questionable martial arts like wing chun. Wall may not have had the athletic ability of Lee, which Lee had plenty of, but he certainly outgrew Lee as a martial artist given Lee's premature passing. Had Lee not died so young, who knows what he could have accomplished but that's all speculation. Now both men are dead and Wall managed to reach a very high rank in his time.
wow, you're stupid...
wing chun is not a questionable martial art. as mma fighter use them. jkd too. and bruce did not study only one martial art. he also learned judo, boxing, jiu jitsu, fencing
@@ikmalhakimharun3823 He dabbled in many arts. That's for sure. Wing chun was used by some MMA fighters who are now in their middle-age and who started training before internet was a thing. Now that everyone knows what arts make sense it's doubtful we'll see wing chun anymore.
LOL, Bob Wall is too funny. He must be losing attention and telling more tall tales again. I met Bob several times, have films of him sparring. That film footage was not sparring #1. My 1st Instructor Bob Burbidge had his 1st lesson from Bob when he joined the Chuck Norris Karate Studio. Later my Instructor also studied with Chuck, Joe Lewis, Mike Stone among others. So why would he be saving up for lessons from Bruce Lee if these other Karate Champions were better? Burbidge told me that one of the best tournament fighters he witnessed was Chuck Norris, but could not wait to study from Bruce which never happened as Bruce died shortly after filming Enter the Dragon. I have also studied with many of Bruce Lee group, seen home movies and heard many stories. So in my opinion Bob Wall must be getting less attention these days and is telling tall tales again. But Wall was tough, a good tournament fighter, decent wrestler, and great business man.
Bruce was a known deadly street fighter, even walked and circulated the streets of east Oakland ca in the sixties! Talk about confidence, and courage yikes!! Joe Lewis even said, he never had a real fight in his life!, nor did chuck !
Bob Wall, I've heard loads of interviews follow Bruce Lee's death. He always makes out he's not scared of anyone etc, he's a loud, gobby, and cocky type. Not sure he'd have said half of this to Bruce face to face
What a liar, they all talk when Bruce Lee is gone, and John Saxon passed also, John Saxon said in his book, Bruce was unbeatable, and that Bob Wall was scared shirtless of Bruce, he said he ain't afraid of him, Dan Inova to would knock him out, if not for Bruce Lee, having him in his movies, he'd be a nobody, my cousin who took lessons from Bruce, wanted to have a go at Bob Wall, and that's because he was bad mouthing Bruce, I totally believe my cousin, cause he was a kick ass, but Bruce was super fast with power, so fast, that in 2 moves, he would be in back of his opponent, and slap his 2 ears, 1 move back in front and finger jab half an inch to your eyes, and smile at you the whole time.
Is there a story that the real reason Bruce Lee trained the way he did was because of shadow people and the evil spirits that supposedly plagued his family? Didn't Bruce Lee's parents believe in that stuff? Did Bruce Lee have actual experience with stuff like that? Did that freak him out enough to train the way he did?
Bruce's sword was sharper and his harp was harper.
i wish dan inosanto would would question bob wall on the obvios bullshit he is saying about bruce, dan knew bruce better than bob , joe or chuck, if i was dan i would have been calling the4m up saying hey what the hell you playing at ? stop talking smack about6 bruce and show some dam respect. dan inosanto knew all those guyts had a ass whooping from bruce in sparring sessions and even he has kept quiet to protect their rep, the least they can can do is respect their sensei instead of making out they were superior, jealousy can be a nasty thing.
Bruce reminds me of Pacquio Pac beat up bigger apponents so Bruce in a real fight would destroy Bob Wall
Pac actually fought....Bruce not so much.
@@cuzz63 and u here talking smack lol I wish u re here I can teach u a lesson kid 😂
@@concac314 .really if you had any facts you would teach me a lesson on here, but you cant...why is that?
@@cuzz63uhhh...you are aware that Pacquiao praises Lee and regards him as an inspiration right? He actually seems to be copying or emulating Lee in certain dartlike movements.
@@eugenechun4140 yes I am...he like many enjoy Bruces movies. The question you need to ask is " how is this info relevant to the discussion?:" Are you disagreeing that Pac is a real fighter and Bruce isnt?
I would have to say that Bruce Lee is probably the strongest man in the world..🌎
No. He was strong pound by pound.
@@Cosmicconsciousness_1 what do you mean???
@@luciaroyas5140 I mean at 140 pounds he is not the strongest man regardless of weight.
@@Cosmicconsciousness_1 oh
@@Cosmicconsciousness_1 oh
Lol Bruce was so awesome losers had to wait a few decades after his death to grow the balls to shit talk.
This is disgraceful it’s clear that they were practicing for the film trying to work out some things maybe even goofing around a little bit but Bob wants to make it seem like this was some sparring match where he won and he wants to expose Bruce here abusing bad form not really being a fighter and pointing out that he really doesn’t know what he’s doing at least that’s what Jo likes to do that’s his favorite criticism
he didnt won this. he couldn't block any of bruce's kicks
Wow
I can't believe Bob Wall would speak that way are you kidding me? You honestly think Bruce would go all out with sparring? You guys are in-between takes on set if anyone got hurt that would hold up filming/production obviously 2 diff weight classes but in truth when it comes to sparring why would Bruce go all out... there's real sparring and just playing around nobody wants bad blood on set and Bruce was a professional
seems odd the death I know what they say is like you mix a couple of painkillers or aspirin or something but the timing is just weird not trying to get into conspiracies or anyting kind of weird
What these clowns have to realize is that bob wall is talking because bruce lee and jim kelly are not here, why in this interview or these clips he is narrating do he try to make himself seem like some tough guy? He ought to be a shame of himself...bob wall, the time to talk was when bruce lee and jim kelly was alive! I heard him say in one of the clips jim kelly didnt want any part of this....in a real fight no rehearsal bob wall would have as much chance against bruce lee as a snowball would in a hot oven!
The truth is my ex kickboxing coach ran into a lot of these guys and none of them wanted any of him or "Super Foot".
I like bob wall his missed a good friend of chuck norris but if bruce wanted to hurt bob back then ! Bob wouldnt stand a chance . 50 years ago leave the past behind bruce lee was about goin forward.
