Well... I've been receiving some negative comments recently regarding the title, movie clips...etc. I would like to make some points. [1] I didn't use standard wing chun terminology like lap sao or Pak sao because I wanted everyone (even those inexperienced in Martial arts) to understand the point. [2] When I gave the title "Unnoticed" it does not exactly mean invisible. Most people would miss those movements even though they have seen the movie 1000 times (check some of the comments). You might notice the feints if you are specifically looking for them in this video. It is very hard to notice them if you are watching it in a sequence. [3] Movie footages have been used because they are the only ones available for Bruce Lee. A lot of Bruce Lee content are being held by private collectors. Also don't compare saying Bruce was just an actor. Please understand that Bruce Lee came into film only to spread his philosophy of fighting. He thought that was better than starting a school. Bruce lee's fight choreography is based on realism. Many MMA fighters including Anderson silva, Jon Jones, Conor McGregor...etc have said that Bruce Lee was their Idol. [4] The movement before the sidekick is definitely a feint. Please read his book. [5] Please read the description before you dive in :D
You know what my friend, as I saw this video, I recognized that i just knew a litttle bit of his greatness in his Martial Arts. Man there will be no any human being will achive this skill that he had. No one even not those who might be great at this time. He was the Newton of Martial Arts!
Bruce lee was awesome... but during the time he had on earth, he did not achieve his maximum... there are faster and stronger masters out mainly because of the body mechanics of their system (eg. Yin Fu Baegua) and ways of training... that are far superior to Wing chung or JKD. But they will never show us outsiders... one of the most important things about Kung fu is the sense of humbleness which Bruce Lee did not bring. That pissed off alot of people.
Jason W i think he did bring, actually. like in "way of the dragon," he shows a lot of respect to Norris. More importantly, people are stronger than him don't have his speed; people are as fast as he was don't have his power.
You didn't have to use Wing Chun terminology. The point was to show just how extremely fast Bruce Lee was, to basically throw two punches within a split second, which is undoubtedly a more complicated task. I've said it before that Bruce Lee was INHUMANLY fast! 2:08 shows JUST how fast. At 0.10, you pointed out the Wing Chun blocking technique, but what's ALSO not seen is that Bruce's third punch, which looks like an elbow, is actually a FULLY EXTENDED punch that extends completely PAST Bob Walls head! I've watched this on VHS, and ran the clip frame by frame. But even in slow motion, the camera does not pick it up. If anyone has this on VHS or DVD, go to that scene and run it frame by frame. It's a three-step fighting sequence, and the third punch is a fully extended punch, in which Bruce's forearm is well past Bob's head. Thank you for posting. By the way, I wonder would it be possible for anyone to CLOCK just how fast Bruce's third punch was in that scene? Incidentally, the third block/deflection by Bruce is a Pak Sao that's included with the third punch, for those who don't know.
The fact that he even put feints into his movies knowing that the audience may not even see it shows his dedication to his work and the perfectionist he was to his art and movies. A true innovative and one of a kind person
Imagine if Bruce had been at Sharon Tate's house the night Tex Watson and the girls came to kill them... I have a feeling Bruce would have killed Tex, I have little doubt... Bruce might have died that day but not before trying to kill Tex and maybe the girls also.
As far as I know, Bruce Lee wanted to teach martial arts through their films, as well, it wasn't just mere entertainment. It must be that almost every interview with him it's about teaching what he learned and discovered.
The more we analyse him, the more we are amazed. All the un-noticed moves weren't necessary for the film effect, but he did them anyway. It's only decades later we are discovering them. A true genius of his field.
It wasnt real speed as bruce was so fast, they had to slow it down. Today, martial arts actors are so slow that they have to speed it up on screen. Bruce was a badass at everything
+hassan Waleed i recall even after they slowed it down it was still too fast for the normal eye to see given technology advancements back in the day so he had to physically slow his movements down more.
Imagine if Bruce had been at Sharon Tate's house the night Tex Watson and the girls came to kill them... I have a feeling Bruce would have killed Tex, I have little doubt... Bruce might have died that day but not before trying to kill Tex and maybe the girls also.
Bruce Lee movements are that of a fighter not an actor. I always see comments of people saying he was an actor. Real MMA fighters give Bruce respect and consider him the Godfather of MMA. If Bruce was fake real fighters wouldn't give him respect. No real fighter praises Van Damm. Cause they know he's Hollywood. Years ago in Vegas I met Bob Wall (Ohara) at a after party of a kickboxing event he said it was a wonder that they got Enter The Dragon finished. Because so many guys would challenge Bruce on set. He would beat them down and they would go back to filming. He said it drove the director crazy cause he was so afraid Bruce was gone get hurt. He said he was small but his speed and freakish strength was amazing to see in real life. He was far ahead of his time, if you look at the beginning of Enter The Dragon that fight with a young Sammo Hung looks similar to MMA of today.
If Bruce Lee wasn't a martial artist,none of his former students wouldn't say he was real. The man was dynamite! I totally agree with you sir. Bruce Lee's skills were real.
A big problem is that when the layperson watches Lee fight on film, they think they're seeing JKD. They're not. Those flashy high kicks to the head should have been their first clue.

I noticed almost all of these subtle movements a long time ago from the MANY times Ive watched his fight scenes, but you bought the attention to some things Ive never seen before. Great video, my friend.
It's insane to me how freakishly fast this man was it's hard to even comprehend the speed in which he is moving. Its unreal what hes doing I cant believe it even after all these years later. Bruce is an inspiration.
this guy is beyond amazing. many movements I have never noticed till now. I watch his movies over and over again and never get bored. his moves are simple and natural reaction.
Bruce Lee is almost almost always doing 3 things at once. He's dodging the blow while blocking it from even connecting AND attacking back all at the same time.
The restaurant scene where he punches the tie always facinated me for 33 yrs. I have not scene anyone duplicate this. Incredible force of controlling his power.
Man thanks for posting! That was an awesome experience! I was riveted to the screen just like I was when I was 13 years old when Bruce lee had hit his peak!
The fact that people debate about Bruce Lee in 2015 is an amazing testament to his legendary status. Who cares if he could beat so and so and how well would he do today? It's not like they promote Bruce Lee anymore... But his legacy and accomplishments will live on, forever.
The human natural instinct is to react to the first motion of attack. So when Bruce uses the feint, your natural reaction is to try and block it which is a misdirection leading you wide open for a counter attack. Even if you knew it was a feint, it would be too late to react because Bruce Lee was way too fast for your brain to process all that.
When u are a good fighter, u become more sensitive and faster, so the feint of Bruce would hurt u... If u are an ordinary fighter, it is so easy for faster Bruce to hurt u... Bruce had an all round analysis in fighting, not only speed and power... Bruce was born for fighting, a real GOAT over decades and decades
Many of his punching attacks and upper head movement have been used by world class boxers such as his Muhammad Ali head movement, his Floyd Mayweather parry and shoulder roll, and his Manny Pacquiao lower faints. Bruce Lee was way beyond his years, he would have been an incredible boxer had he only focused on punching. A definition of a complete fighter, he can punch, kick, block, feint, parry, counter, and grapple all with speed and power.
He demonstrated MMA in Enter the Dragon 20 years before the very first UFC match. He's been doing moves that elite fighters have been doing before these fighters were even born!
There are various stories of him getting challenged randomly by people in the streets, on movie sets etc. He won them all, and the people challenging him really paid the price. I wish there were some footage out there. Even though most of these fights didn't last long it would have been nice to see Bruce Lee fighting for real. One encounter took place at one of his homes(Bob Wall tells this story in one of the documentaries included with Enter the Dragon special editions). Someone climbed the stone wall surrounding his property and challenged him. Bruce sidekicked the crap out of him. Fight over. Another took place on the Enter the Dragon set. I think Bob Wall told this one too but I can't remember if it was him or Robert Krause. One of the extras sitting on one of the stone walls hopped down and challenged Bruce. He was supposedly pretty good and in good shape. Bruce got him against the wall, knee trapped him and pummeled him mercilessly. When he stopped, he asked the guy if he wanted any more, he said no, and Bruce told him to get back up on the wall. Didn't have him fired, but put him in his place. When people say Bruce was "just an actor" they have no idea what they're talking about.
yes, there are ALL kind of feints, misdirection and FALSE strikes in real gung-fu to increase the chances that your REAL strike will land on target. While this is similar to the jab in boxing, it's taken to a FAR higher level in real gung-fu. You can see this real gung-fu practitioner from this 1970's documentary doing the Back Groin Kick to the bag at the 2:46 mark that Bruce did to the guy in the last clip. ua-cam.com/video/9Dw88fw6lXA/v-deo.html
Bruce was the master, unparalleled skill, utter perfection, born to teach the world that his kung fu reached the heights of human achievement !! A total master !!!

Thanks Charles
Ohh wow, I'm amazed, when I already thought he was already fast enough, I would have never realized without this video that behind those seemingly simple fast moves of his were actually many hidden moves not visible at actual speed to the naked eye. Two word for you: Thank You One word for him: Breathtaking. I mean really. Those scenes here of his may just him acting, but acquiring such speed and being able to accomplish such feats are no tricks. If one amateur were to fight him, he would be lying on the ground unconscious within a few second without understanding why, the audience included. "What?... That dude just fell down with a single punch... lame" when he actually received many more of them and one kick. That reminds me of a scene in Dragon Ball (Not Z) in the Tenkaichi Budokai tournament between Goku and another contestant.
I still remember when I was 10 and my dad told me about Enter the Dragon that how even the camera could not catch his actions. So he was directed to perform slow for sake of moving. He was a god miracle IMO
he does alot of what i didnt think was possible, to feint fast enough to bring out the instinctive block/brace then follow with a faster attack. thats brilliant, rock paper scissors, but forcing a rock (with a feint scissor) so he can paper. wow
As a martial artist of some 24 years of training.And as a fan that has indeed watched these movies thousands of times,you absolutely gave me notice of techniques that slipped past my well trained eye. Thank you Shari.
I actually applaud UFC for giving so much props to Bruce in the new EA game and also the "I am bruce lee" documentary. Back then UFC fanboys would shit on Bruce all the time not realizing nearly all their favorite fighters looked up to him. In a match with rules Bruce may lose to some fighters. In a life or death street fight, bruce would clean up the whole house.
Most of it anyway. I have Great Respect for Bruce Lee; but there are fighters out there, who rival him. I am aware that he had a good grappling game, as well; but I would love to see him on the ground with Royce Gracie, or Adolf Ernst (Aka Ad Santel) in their primes.
Johann Farmann-Katzer Right, but as I said in a match setting Royce would probably beat him if it was pure grappling. But if it was a street fight where anything goes, it's unlikely Bruce would even hit the floor and even if he did, eye jabs, biting, crotch attacks would make a lot of grapple moves obsolete. Try putting me in an armbar when I'm determined to rip flesh right off your leg. The strength he possessed was NOT normal for someone his size, and he knew the effectiveness of having a ground game and wrestling as he encountered grappling great Gene Lebell in the states prior to him going back to HK to become a star.
Very true. It would still be good to see what would happen. Again, no direspect to Master Lee: The gracies are also no strangers to dirty fighting; and very tough.
Life or death he kills them all. Rules are so much different. I have trained both ways. Mind set for rule base fighting I never liked. When the rules are gone some people with a different mindset have alternative deadlier skills.
Been a lifetime fan, and even I mad never seen some of these. And I'm fully aware of Bruce Lee's use of the feint to distract the opponent. It's one of the most underused techniques in fighting.
Same here and so true! He was the GOAT! How long have you been a Bruce Lee fan? Since you are a fan check out my Bruce Lee UA-cam Channel which you will enjoy and please join our growing Bruce Lee community as we help preserve and perpetuate the Legacy of the Master! Thanks Charles
🌏 I am a big fan of Bruce Lee and I like his life and his works. He is just a famous movie star who shows realistic fighting skills like many action movie stars today. Do not exaggerate him. He is dead, so whoever can flatter him to be excellent. There are real martial artists today are much better than he is. Many fighters who fight and win in the real arena more than a hundred times.
Practice till it becomes you. You will react so fast that you will do the move from the subconscious mind before you actually think of the move in your conscious mind. You will say to yourself I did the move before I thought of it.
So true! He was the GOAT! How long have you been a Bruce Lee fan? Since you are a fan check out my Bruce Lee UA-cam Channel which you will enjoy and please join our growing Bruce Lee community as we help preserve and perpetuate the Legacy of the Master! Thanks Charles
You forgot the arm break to Chuck Norris.Bruce puts his right hand on the inside of Chucks wrist.Then Bruce puts his left hand on Chucks elbow pushing inwards snapping his arm.The movement is incredible! Bruce's hands start at his waist, does the snap and his hands are back at his waist all in a second. Then Bruce crushes his knee. Horrifyingly beautiful finish!
Lee Banks Wow I never noticed Bruce's Left arm therefore missed it. Thank you for this. I am planning to make a second part and will definitely include that. :)
I saw Bruce Lee in person in Washington DC in 1968 do his twenty minute demonstration. He was confident, charismatic, cocky (in a good way) and had everyone’s attention as he spoke to the crowd. He had the fastest hand speed I have ever seen. In a word he was everything you can imagine and then some. He was there as a guest of Jhoon Rhee for a National Karate Championship featuring Joe Lewis defending his heavyweight title. My friend and coworker Joe West talked me into attending the tournament. He was a student at one of the schools.
Wow, great finds! These are things I've never come close to noticing. I'm so used to the action nowadays where it's just made to be entertaining, but I've found new respect for Bruce because of the realistic aspects of fighting he put into his choreography.
it is well known to HK cinema that they admit the cameras fail to capture bruce lee fast movements. He was simply too fast for the camera to catch or maybe human eyes
There were special cameras, even in the 50's, that could catch Lee's actions. But they ran a 50,000 frames per second and were super expensive. Some were used during Hydrogen bomb tests in Slo-Mo to see the first few seconds of how the bomb exploded.
Check out the videos of the first H bomb tests. Also, check out the slo mo Saturn 5 engine burns. They used super fast film at super hi frame rates, even back in the day. They used cameras that were so fast, that only digital cameras of today are faster. Now they have cameras that can see bullets go through 2 inch steel at many thousands of frames per second, but they also had film cameras when testing the H bombs in the 1950's. They are on UA-cam if you search. They even tell you the frame rate. If I wasn't so tired, I hunt down the link for you.
We are speaking of average cameras used by the cinema industry in the 70s and not some "special" cameras used by the US army or some rocket science research institute...
Film runs at 24 frames per second (fps). That is going to make any fast movement appear blurry or jerky. At 30 fps and up to 60 fps fast movements would appear more smooth and a lot less blurred because it is at the speed that the human eye is able to process information. Doug Trumbull (a film director and SFX supervisor) had figured this out and created a movie process called "Showscan" and patented the speeds from 30 to 60 fps. For many years his demonstration of Showscan, showing at 60 fps had been seen in Las Vegas at the Luxor.
Because his dedication was nonhuman, who trains 14 hours a day?? He was the John Coltrane, (Jazz innovator and legend who practiced every single day of his musical life and still influences musicians today having passed 60 years ago), of martial arts. Like Michael Jackson was to entertainment. Michael Jordan to basketball ... You don't get to their level without freakish dedication!
@Fred Freddy he fought many many people! He didnt take the role of a movie for the money. He saw it as a way to reach out to the world of how martial arts should be and not what it is or was
Bruce Lee was too fast for cameras. In a real fight, he would be unbeatable. How can you fight someone who's punches can't be blocked, and can block yours before you make them, then hit you before your brain registers the impact?
Bruce was the complete martial artist ... mentally, physically and spirituality. There will never be another as unique and as brilliant as the late great Bruce Lee
This video alone is in my top 3 of favourite UA-cam videos. Didn't notice a lot of these and I've watched them all hundreds of times - the I always thought the fist of fury backfist was an elbow strike
I am one of those ex- boxers who laughed a Bruce Lee's ability. I was sure that one well placed left hook would ground Bruce and he wouldn't be getting up. Then I started studying his moves and tactics. I am a fool. Bruce Lee was three moves ahead of anything you threw at him. Every defensive move he used incorporated an offensive reaction. Add that to the speed and precision of his tactics and you have a guy that was almost unbeatable. People say size matters in fighting. Those same people have never studied Royce Gracie. So I look back and realize that my left hook was not the best, but a very decent one. After years of research I now know that my left hook didn't matter. I would have never landed it. Make no mistake, Bruce Lee was in fact "That good". And when I hear people like MJW say they could beat Bruce Lee, I have to laugh.
GetsumJ The Dragon 🐉 is death. When the lion king is not in the Jungle come the Schakals out and proclaims self a the Kings of the Jungle. Ithink when MJW have on Bruce not single move landed. Now beat even a not martial arts trained actor ( Brad Pitt )!??? Oh Times oh
Bruce couldn't take down Lesnar. Prolly would stick & move. Let Brock tire himself. Then break his big ass down. Kinda like Jet Li in Fearless we he fought the Undefeated American Wrestler.
Yeah I saw that on a radio interview when they asked who would win between him and bruce Lee, his first stupid uneducated answer was me because of size, I'm like bro seriously, I'm a big finnatic of bruce Lee but he was smart, strong, and dangerous, I love michael jai white and thinks he's a phenomenal fighter but to say because your bigger than somebody you'd beat them is your first fail, he'll they teach you that in karate class, never underestimate your opponent, I believe bruce would have became friends with him and they both would have switched knowledge from each other, bruce seemed like a humble person but I believe if you piss him off he'd hurt you
Wow..... What an analysis about the great master.... All the analysis shows your deep built love for Bruce Lee.... Bruce lives permanently in the hearts 💕 of his analysers, fans, fighters, admirers....
In my _extremely_ limited knowledge, something that stands out about Bruce is that he seemed to have a supernatural ability to identify the blind spots of his opponents. All the feints were done so close (and so fast, of course) that the opponent’s field of vision wouldn’t even register. Reminds me very much of someone like Apollo Robbins or Bob Arno. I think Bruce would have also made a phenomenal artful manipulator!
He was the best and no man will ever walk this earth like Bruce. I was lucky to attend a Bruce Lee Anniversary convention in 1997 in England where they showed the full uncut version of “Way of the Dragon” meet some of the actors (boss man) and everyone said he was too fast for the camera. Always amazes me every time I watch a Bruce Lee movie or documentary. My hero forever
Bruce Lee was so fast! That at 1:46 every since I was a child, I always said how vicious that back elbow blow was, and at 28 years, I’m seeing it now as it always was.... a back punch lol
If you can find it there's a really lovely video on here of Jackie Chan telling a story of when he acted/fought with Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon. Bruce accidentally whopped Jackie in the head with a stick in one scene but being a professional actor he acted like nothing happened and finished the scene, but when the director shouted CUT! Bruce dropped his sticks and ran over there, real sorry for the accidental blow. It's a wonderful story and a sweet illustration of another aspect of Bruce Lee that was as you say "perfection" (I know you meant physically! but still). His professionalism, his respect, his courtesy, his kindness :)
Thanks for a great, well done post! I've been a fan of Bruce Lee since the late 70s, but this is the nicest concise video showing many of his moves. The more I learn, the more I am absolutely amazed by Bruce Lee. This video is an amazing, easy to follow look at just how incredibly fast Bruce was. PS: kicks and punches executed to miss, i.e. fakes, are actually harder to do than real ones.
Absolutely outstanding! Truly a great phenom in the martial arts world. I remember watching enter the dragon when I was 8 (although that was in '99 on video cassette tape... Old skool) it always amazed me how fast he could move. If I can make a slight comparison between Bruce Lee and a basketball player I would have to say Hakeem Olajuwon is the best choice. Both offensively would throw you off guard, Bruce with his feints and block removers and Hakeem with his dream shakes and post play. Defensively Bruce was extremely agile and clever when it came to getting the best of his opponent, timing the movement from a strike and countering, and Hakeem ... Well this guy would lock you down on defence! Block shot and steal ball! Simply amazing athletes and people. R.I.P Bruce
This global phenomenon called Bruce Lee within 33 years of age managed to build himself up to the level of a philosopher , a master of martial arts and became an actor ! He also was a great dancer , he was the guy responsible for the worldwide free spreading of the Asian knowledge of martial arts and he was battling with a spine injury for the last years of his life . He wasn't just fast , we were too slow for him . He died in 1973 and still to this day there is no one to go as close to Bruce as DK Yoo from Korea ! The same things everybody said about Bruce Lee since his death , they also said about DK Yoo , that he never fought with someone , he just does presentations etc etc ... Yeah and whoever has eyes and brains understands that both Bruce and DK are the real deal .
Well said George! He was the GOAT! How long have you been a Bruce Lee fan? Since you are a fan check out my Bruce Lee UA-cam Channel which you will enjoy and please join our growing Bruce Lee community as we help preserve and perpetuate the Legacy of the Master! Thanks Charles
@@georgeisaak5321 your very welcome! Thanks for subscribing to the channel and looking forward to meeting you through the comments. I post a new Bruce Lee episode every Friday! Enjoy my friend and remember to turn on your post notification so you Neve miss an episode! Be well!
I always will respect the qualities that Bruce Lee was endowed with. a lot of people forget that Bruce Lee was truly the real deal Holyfield. he was a tactician and architec that engineered a new system of martial arts with in that old system . He never went around Proclaiming that he was unbeatable or the greatest of all times. he simply wanted to tear down a very racial and biased control societies. It ridiculed the Asian world n Chinese Culture. Martial arts became the tool that he utilized to bring his vision into a more racial acceptance into the American society and also around the world. We have to remember and never aloud the naysayers and hypocrites to poison our mines about him. His only mission in life was, to tear down that border and a invisible boundary. he utilize also how to use the right supplements to refuel and build your body to be able to achieve victory and excellence to reach for your own majestic glory. He said it the best that, " I cannot teach you, I only can help you to explore yourself". Just look around at popular pop culture of all the martial arts movies from the Shaw Brothers and others alike out there. they would have never been able to get that wide range of international support and marketing. For he became the living representation of endorsement and help marketed at the time that was definitely segregated. He had that spirit that capture you that made you drop and stop what you doing. He punch you can say lol, the world to the solar plex and we are still feeling that blow. truly one of the most iconic man of the 20th century. for he accomplished all of this within the short and limited time when he was alive. remember he was only 32 years old when he passed away. That is to me the definition and the embodiment of a Grandmaster. He will never be forgotten. ~RIP to Bruce Lee~
Southern Cross he did walk around and said that he was unbeatable. There was also a scene in his movie, "Dragon, the Bruce Lee Story" He said that he could beat any man in 60 seconds or less. And he did say that. And the movie was commissioned by his family. And he was beaten. He lost to Jack Man Wong years ago. But, dont say that im a hater. I am Bruce Lees biggest fan. But, to say that he was humble was not true. He was the cockiest bastard out there. In his interview, he even said that, if he could put on a show, and not be cocky. and to truly express himself. Was very hard to do. What he meant was, he couldnt do it without being cocky....And to be honest...He was cocky, and I believed every word he said....
indra kortua is this your attempt to start some controversy or do you like to throw a little bit of Anarchy into the mix and see what happens? if so that's all good but it will be nice to finally hear somebody admit that's what they're doing. We all have the right to say what we want to say but I know we have people out there who love to start controversy and through anarchy into the equation.
I am not trying to start controversy. These things did happen. And so there is no anarchy here. All of which I said was true. If I was here to stir trouble, I would admit it. But, what is there to admit if Im not here to cause trouble? Lots of people cannot admit the fact that Bruce Lee lost. Or that he was cocky. Or that he couldnt control his big head. They couldnt admit this because they are his number one fans. I am his number one fan as well. However, I will be the first to admit that he did lose. He does have a big head. He is cocky. And he cannot contain himself when it comes to showing off. But, I will also admit, that he is still number 1. Some of the best, lose all the time. Michael Jordon didnt win all the time. Mohammed Ali didnt either. Neither did Pete Sampras, Tiger Woods, Larry Bird, Manny Pacqiao, Peyton Manning, etc, etc. Some people may not consider some of the people I mention, as being the best of the best. However, if everybody has lost one time or another, then who is the best? But, getting back to Bruce Lee, make no mistake that he did lose. There is evidence in his book. There is evidence in his movie, which was commissioned by his family. And there bits of evidence here and there. Do your research and you will find this stuff. But, of course, nobody would do all these tedious research unless, they were "Bruce Lee's Number 1 Fan."
indra kortua I still like to remind people that , Bruce Lee was 32 years old when he died. How many people do we know personally accomplish a lot of goals that he did when they were 32 or even before they turn 30? Nobody is perfect and there always will be something that somebody is going to find to use against you. That is a promise. I'm the kind of person I can over look certain things that, do not hold weight to a snowflake if you know what I mean lol? It is a price that you must pay if you do become famous because, once you build a person up then you must destroy them. that is how the media operates as long as you can get the scoop and make that money, they do not care who they crucify. Kareem Abdul Jabbar say something that made a lot of sense when he starred in Game of Death. He mention that a lot of people do not truly understand how young Bruce Lee really was it this time. his accomplishments and the things that he did was, revolutionary. Not too many people had the knowledge or the wisdom and philosophy he already had at such a young age. I was raised by a philosophy of growing up in the 80's called, if a person has nine bad qualities but one good focus on that one. But in Bruce Lee's case he had 9 good quality so why even focus on that one bad? I will say it again the man was only 32 years old and didn't have anybody pretty much at that time to look up to to establish anything or a rock solid foundation. basically he gave us the foundation to build many things upon which we have done over the last 40 years. We live in the age now will we understand bodybuilding vitamin shops / GNC's. Different martial art associations even down to UFC has all been credited for becoming popular because of one man. I'm sure somebody else out there probably would have came along and may have accomplished something here or there but, even some of those people admit it's because of Bruce Lee contribution in establishing the foundation, most things were able to make it to the surface. To the point that now even on a subconscious level you are not even aware that you've been influenced by him. I study history and I know the facts and also know that it will always be people out there who find that one negative thing to use against somebody. But at 32 years old he accomplished something that a lot of men even by the time they get probably 62, can only hope and wish for which is fulfill whatever your destiny maybe. to go after it with the utmost courage and to not let anybody tell you it is impossible. To me that's what gives him the title are modern Grandmaster.
I understand that you wanna focus on the good and not the bad. I was not trying to draw attention to all that is bad. I am a "you get what you see" type of guy. If he did 10 good things, then he did 10 good things. If there was also one bad in there, then there was one bad in there. Alot of fans dont want people to mention that this person was not perfect. They dont like to think that he lost. Or was a trouble maker. Or anything like that. Im sure he had his ups and downs. But, that doesnt make me any less a fan. I am still fascinated with the guy, despite the fact that he died over 40 years ago.....
Camera has to slow down for Jet Li too. Jet Li won't stand a chance in the UFC. There's a big big big difference between real vs not-real fights. In real fights, the uncertainty and scariness factor are what make you hesitate, freeze, and consequently slow.
jet li wouldn't stand a chance in UFC because his techniques don't work in close quarters. He has enough experience to manage uncertainty. But when someone has him in guard and is setting up one of 1,455,820 arm bars, he would be loath to stop them.
Amazing, simply amazing. These movements were captured on camera for movies. It's hard to imagine the many movements in a real fight. No wonder why he IS the true master. Thanks for the video.
ANOTHER SECRET......one of the most important things to recognize is how his palm is open right before he strikes. that allows a significant increase in speed @0:57
How does having his palm open right before beginning his closed fist acceleration allow for a significant increase of speed exactly? Looks to me like his fist could have been closed to begin with and it would have made no difference.
ROFL!! You serious? I could barely see if not at all some of the things pointed out to me in this video. And you are saying it's not at full speed? Dafuq!!?
***** They often had to re-shoot a lot of his fights because he simply moved too fast for the camera to capture his movements and strikes, and it looked like people were falling for no reason. For the Green Hornet TV series, especially, since Kato wasn't supposed to have "supernatural powers".
You are not the only one. I've seen Enter The Dragon over a hundred times and I've never noticed those Wing Chun block removers in the fight with Bob Wall either. Bruce Lee was deadly fast.
Bre Fujimoto I LOVE watching Bruce's films over 100 x as well and I noticed sum of the movements he was doing to his enemies very quick very speedy so memorable
You know, Bruce was so fucking fast, half the time the only way i even knew he had hit somebody was when he would do that awesomely unique and signature chi 'Woo ahhh'!! (am I saying that right, his chi?). I wouldn't see the move, i'd just hear him yell and the opponent flying off into the distance. The guys was a living muscle, maybe the perfect man physically fitness wise, amazing discipline and dedication . . .
I've seen it before, but only after I watched it in slow motion. After that I incorporated it into my boxing strategy. Bruce Lee was so fast that he had to slow his movements down during the filming of The Green Hornet, because he was too fast for the camera. If only 1080 p existed during his lifetime. But don't wait for that day, because it ain't never gonna happen. The onliest thing we can do, is wonder and imagine.
***** being honest, i saw Jakie Chen's filming when i was very little. they were filming in extremely slow action that I could tell he was horrible at kongfu.... maybe he is now (idk), but his dumb commentary on my country keeps my hating him still.
They actually had to slow down the speed of reproduction of the movie, during the battles. You can see the reaction of the people fighting against him, they didn't even notice, or reacted really late. +Lukeor says it: "I remember during the Game of Death, he had to slow down because the camera couldn't pick up his movements."
Wasnt it established that he was asked to pull his punches (slow down) in order for the crappy cameras of the times to catch everything? Thats what I've heard at least
Hey, haters gonna hate. This is a great compilation. Terminology be damned. You explained it in lay terms, which opens the discussion up to everyone. People who cling to genre specific terminology create a code that excludes outside interest. Screw that. This is a good thing you've done. Thank you!
@@ericwalker3588 If you want to see a real fighter with speed watch the 13th round of the Sugar Ray Leonard/Thomas Hearns first fight or the Leonard/ Davey Boy Green fight.
Geeze all these years I thought Bruce Lee did one single back fist strike in Chinese Connection and never knew he threw a feint before the back fist punch. My eyes didn't even see the first feint and that now tells me how incredible his speed is now proven. The naked eye cant even detect that first feint. All I can say now from back in 1973 that his speed was beyond everyone else''s then and currently now.
most feints I didn't notice when I was smaller, but most of the stuff shown in this video were clear to me ever since I watched his movies for the first time..
![[RARE COLOR HD Remastered] Bruce Lee The Lost Interview 1971](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/vHtP9oSoMpI/mqdefault.jpg)
Well... I've been receiving some negative comments recently regarding the title, movie clips...etc. I would like to make some points.
[1] I didn't use standard wing chun terminology like lap sao or Pak sao because I wanted everyone (even those inexperienced in Martial arts) to understand the point.
[2] When I gave the title "Unnoticed" it does not exactly mean invisible. Most people would miss those movements even though they have seen the movie 1000 times (check some of the comments). You might notice the feints if you are specifically looking for them in this video. It is very hard to notice them if you are watching it in a sequence.
[3] Movie footages have been used because they are the only ones available for Bruce Lee. A lot of Bruce Lee content are being held by private collectors. Also don't compare saying Bruce was just an actor. Please understand that Bruce Lee came into film only to spread his philosophy of fighting. He thought that was better than starting a school. Bruce lee's fight choreography is based on realism. Many MMA fighters including Anderson silva, Jon Jones, Conor McGregor...etc have said that Bruce Lee was their Idol.
[4] The movement before the sidekick is definitely a feint. Please read his book.
[5] Please read the description before you dive in :D
You know what my friend, as I saw this video, I recognized that i just knew a litttle bit of his greatness in his Martial Arts. Man there will be no any human being will achive this skill that he had. No one even not those who might be great at this time. He was the Newton of Martial Arts!
Bruce lee was awesome... but during the time he had on earth, he did not achieve his maximum... there are faster and stronger masters out mainly because of the body mechanics of their system (eg. Yin Fu Baegua) and ways of training... that are far superior to Wing chung or JKD. But they will never show us outsiders... one of the most important things about Kung fu is the sense of humbleness which Bruce Lee did not bring. That pissed off alot of people.
Jason W i think he did bring, actually. like in "way of the dragon," he shows a lot of respect to Norris. More importantly, people are stronger than him don't have his speed; people are as fast as he was don't have his power.
zhaohao wu you missed my point entirely
You didn't have to use Wing Chun terminology. The point was to show just how extremely fast Bruce Lee was, to basically throw two punches within a split second, which is undoubtedly a more complicated task. I've said it before that Bruce Lee was INHUMANLY fast! 2:08 shows JUST how fast. At 0.10, you pointed out the Wing Chun blocking technique, but what's ALSO not seen is that Bruce's third punch, which looks like an elbow, is actually a FULLY EXTENDED punch that extends completely PAST Bob Walls head! I've watched this on VHS, and ran the clip frame by frame. But even in slow motion, the camera does not pick it up. If anyone has this on VHS or DVD, go to that scene and run it frame by frame. It's a three-step fighting sequence, and the third punch is a fully extended punch, in which Bruce's forearm is well past Bob's head. Thank you for posting. By the way, I wonder would it be possible for anyone to CLOCK just how fast Bruce's third punch was in that scene? Incidentally, the third block/deflection by Bruce is a Pak Sao that's included with the third punch, for those who don't know.
The fact that he even put feints into his movies knowing that the audience may not even see it shows his dedication to his work and the perfectionist he was to his art and movies. A true innovative and one of a kind person
Imagine if Bruce had been at Sharon Tate's house the night Tex Watson and the girls came to kill them... I have a feeling Bruce would have killed Tex, I have little doubt... Bruce might have died that day but not before trying to kill Tex and maybe the girls also.
As far as I know, Bruce Lee wanted to teach martial arts through their films, as well, it wasn't just mere entertainment. It must be that almost every interview with him it's about teaching what he learned and discovered.
This stuff is so crazy
It's important to note the fps these were recorded at too though
The slow mo is a tad choppy not smoothe so I know the fps was a lot lower than today's norm
The more we analyse him, the more we are amazed. All the un-noticed moves weren't necessary for the film effect, but he did them anyway. It's only decades later we are discovering them. A true genius of his field.
True 100%
This legend will never grow old, Bruce will forever be young and handsome, an inspirational man that will never die until the extinction of mankind.
I have never heard truer words spoken about the man the legend the number one martial artist of all times Bruce Lee
His teaching transcends time...
Forever young dynamic and handsome
Bruce was soo handsome at the same time no1 fighter.
This legend has never been in a real fight
The world will never see the likes of Bruce Lee again , he was truly a remarkable man
There are actors, there are fighters but there is only one Bruce Lee ! The legend .
@ you really knew him didn't you? Talked to him, met him ...
To call Bruce Lee a bull shit ....well that is ....no comment :(
It wasnt real speed as bruce was so fast, they had to slow it down. Today, martial arts actors are so slow that they have to speed it up on screen. Bruce was a badass at everything
Higher frames per second cameras now a days usually record minimum 60-120hz then it was 20-30
+StevenDawson i dunno about that but they still only use 30 fps when playing the film in cinemas or TVs. so it doesnt really matter
+StevenDawson its not about that. It is about wheter the speed is faster or slower than recorded.
he's fast because all of his calcium were so strong
+hassan Waleed i recall even after they slowed it down it was still too fast for the normal eye to see given technology advancements back in the day so he had to physically slow his movements down more.
"When he contracts, I expand. And, when there is an opportunity, I do not hit ... it hits all by all by itself." - Bruce Lee
Imagine if Bruce had been at Sharon Tate's house the night Tex Watson and the girls came to kill them... I have a feeling Bruce would have killed Tex, I have little doubt... Bruce might have died that day but not before trying to kill Tex and maybe the girls also.
Bruce Lee wanted everyone to be still talking about him long after he’s gone. He’s made his mark and his legacy so high no can touch it.
Bruce Lee movements are that of a fighter not an actor. I always see comments of people saying he was an actor. Real MMA fighters give Bruce respect and consider him the Godfather of MMA. If Bruce was fake real fighters wouldn't give him respect. No real fighter praises Van Damm. Cause they know he's Hollywood. Years ago in Vegas I met Bob Wall (Ohara) at a after party of a kickboxing event he said it was a wonder that they got Enter The Dragon finished. Because so many guys would challenge Bruce on set. He would beat them down and they would go back to filming. He said it drove the director crazy cause he was so afraid Bruce was gone get hurt. He said he was small but his speed and freakish strength was amazing to see in real life. He was far ahead of his time, if you look at the beginning of Enter The Dragon that fight with a young Sammo Hung looks similar to MMA of today.
If Bruce Lee wasn't a martial artist,none of his former students wouldn't say he was real.
The man was dynamite! I totally agree with you sir. Bruce Lee's skills were real.
A big problem is that when the layperson watches Lee fight on film, they think they're seeing JKD. They're not. Those flashy high kicks to the head should have been their first clue.
Possibly! But it wont be any of these guys today. However! Ipman,learnt his wingchung from a woman.
Except ipman perfected it.
***** wing chun was created by a woman tho.
Thank you. All i was saying to anythingnew,that ipman learnt wing chung from woman because it was created by a woman. Except ipman profected it.
You pointed out some moves that actually were unnoticed by me since the 1970's. Thanks for writing it out for us.
Well said sir
Yes Bruce Lee and his skills are timeless 👏

I noticed almost all of these subtle movements a long time ago from the MANY times Ive watched his fight scenes, but you bought the attention to some things Ive never seen before.
Great video, my friend.
Thank You.... :)
It's insane to me how freakishly fast this man was it's hard to even comprehend the speed in which he is moving. Its unreal what hes doing I cant believe it even after all these years later. Bruce is an inspiration.
When I watched it once without any backtracking I still didn't really understand what I was seeing
this guy is beyond amazing. many movements I have never noticed till now. I watch his movies over and over again and never get bored. his moves are simple and natural reaction.
Bruce Lee was deadly fast, I've never seen another martial artist move as fast as him ever in my life.
Watch DK yoo. he is super fast too. but Bruce Lee will always be the master.
His brain couldn't handle such pressure, he trained too hard
yes on 20fps but 60 it would catch his speed like a normal fighter
Jake Lam he made chuck Norris look second rate in way of dragon . And norris is terrific too.
BlueBoy 1 iPhone fam x
Bruce Lee is almost almost always doing 3 things at once.
He's dodging the blow while blocking it from even connecting AND attacking back all at the same time.
Wow he's amazingly fast and accurate. There were a few I didnt notice unless seen slowed down. Thanks for sharing! great clips.
No matter what others say about MR. LEE. ....
HE WILL ALWAYS BE KNOWN AS
BRUCE LEE FAST BUT FURIOUS ! ! !
Facts
@@darrionreed1240 the fact is he was the best of what he learned and the skills he had. ..
The restaurant scene where he punches the tie always facinated me for 33 yrs. I have not scene anyone duplicate this. Incredible force of controlling his power.
Min 00:56. I don't understand what's going on there BTW. Is he trying to prove he can box the tie without the force striking the wearer?
Man thanks for posting! That was an awesome experience! I was riveted to the screen just like I was when I was 13 years old when Bruce lee had hit his peak!
The fact that people debate about Bruce Lee in 2015 is an amazing testament to his legendary status. Who cares if he could beat so and so and how well would he do today? It's not like they promote Bruce Lee anymore... But his legacy and accomplishments will live on, forever.
The human natural instinct is to react to the first motion of attack. So when Bruce uses the feint, your natural reaction is to try and block it which is a misdirection leading you wide open for a counter attack. Even if you knew it was a feint, it would be too late to react because Bruce Lee was way too fast for your brain to process all that.
Exactly. A real artist can see that.
When u are a good fighter, u become more sensitive and faster, so the feint of Bruce would hurt u... If u are an ordinary fighter, it is so easy for faster Bruce to hurt u... Bruce had an all round analysis in fighting, not only speed and power... Bruce was born for fighting, a real GOAT over decades and decades
Many of his punching attacks and upper head movement have been used by world class boxers such as his Muhammad Ali head movement, his Floyd Mayweather parry and shoulder roll, and his Manny Pacquiao lower faints. Bruce Lee was way beyond his years, he would have been an incredible boxer had he only focused on punching. A definition of a complete fighter, he can punch, kick, block, feint, parry, counter, and grapple all with speed and power.
He demonstrated MMA in Enter the Dragon 20 years before the very first UFC match. He's been doing moves that elite fighters have been doing before these fighters were even born!
There are various stories of him getting challenged randomly by people in the streets, on movie sets etc. He won them all, and the people challenging him really paid the price. I wish there were some footage out there. Even though most of these fights didn't last long it would have been nice to see Bruce Lee fighting for real.
One encounter took place at one of his homes(Bob Wall tells this story in one of the documentaries included with Enter the Dragon special editions). Someone climbed the stone wall surrounding his property and challenged him. Bruce sidekicked the crap out of him. Fight over.
Another took place on the Enter the Dragon set. I think Bob Wall told this one too but I can't remember if it was him or Robert Krause. One of the extras sitting on one of the stone walls hopped down and challenged Bruce. He was supposedly pretty good and in good shape. Bruce got him against the wall, knee trapped him and pummeled him mercilessly. When he stopped, he asked the guy if he wanted any more, he said no, and Bruce told him to get back up on the wall. Didn't have him fired, but put him in his place.
When people say Bruce was "just an actor" they have no idea what they're talking about.
I died when i see these clips
I am unstoppable to watch these clips again and again!!!
Those who new Bruce say he couldn't be touched. That no one was able to punch him in the face. After all he was the last dragon.
Was that Game of Thrones reference intentional?
Nah..... the last dragon was Bruce LEROY!! 😂😂👍
@@dennisjr77 bahaha...I love that movie
xRahlx...... “who’s da Masta?”
“Shonuff!”
🤦♂️🤦♂️😂😂😂😂👍
Then why did he lose. Stop with the bullshit. ANYONE can be touched. He wasn't a god.
I've watched "Enter the Dragon" a million times and i never once noticed that groin kick lol. Wow.
yes, there are ALL kind of feints, misdirection and FALSE strikes in real gung-fu to increase the chances that your REAL strike will land on target. While this is similar to the jab in boxing, it's taken to a FAR higher level in real gung-fu.
You can see this real gung-fu practitioner from this 1970's documentary doing the Back Groin Kick to the bag at the 2:46 mark that Bruce did to the guy in the last clip.
ua-cam.com/video/9Dw88fw6lXA/v-deo.html
@Dawud Bryantkkkkkkkk*kkkKimkkkkuk k
Lol
I saw some kind of heel strike but not as a groin kick.
He strike so fast
This video is the best I could watch this long as I live and will never get bored watching the great inspiring martial arts un replaceable king.
M Hassan Thank You!
too bad we couldn't see his master in real action
+Echoed Melody his master was ip man i think
professorchaos Yes it was, he was trained by the most highly skilled Wing chun and Jeet kune do master.
Bruce was the master, unparalleled skill, utter perfection, born to teach the world that his kung fu reached the heights of human achievement !! A total master !!!

Thanks Charles
you guys do notice that Bruce Lee missed his target on purpose. One punch from him and you will instantly fall into another dimension.
lol
Lol
And never return
Ohh wow, I'm amazed, when I already thought he was already fast enough, I would have never realized without this video that behind those seemingly simple fast moves of his were actually many hidden moves not visible at actual speed to the naked eye.
Two word for you: Thank You
One word for him: Breathtaking. I mean really.
Those scenes here of his may just him acting, but acquiring such speed and being able to accomplish such feats are no tricks.
If one amateur were to fight him, he would be lying on the ground unconscious within a few second without understanding why, the audience included. "What?... That dude just fell down with a single punch... lame" when he actually received many more of them and one kick. That reminds me of a scene in Dragon Ball (Not Z) in the Tenkaichi Budokai tournament between Goku and another contestant.
Nearly 50 years after his death there's still no possibility to catch the speed of his moves.
Jiren did lol ...
fps 900
If you could film him in 60 fps you would notice
It's because it was not recorded on a high FPS camera. If it was recorded on today's cameras, it would all be seen perfectly
True. But you only have to be about half as fast as Bruce for that to be a problem.
Just watch a good middle wright boxer frame by frame.
I still remember when I was 10 and my dad told me about Enter the Dragon that how even the camera could not catch his actions. So he was directed to perform slow for sake of moving. He was a god miracle IMO
he does alot of what i didnt think was possible, to feint fast enough to bring out the instinctive block/brace then follow with a faster attack. thats brilliant, rock paper scissors, but forcing a rock (with a feint scissor) so he can paper. wow
+Arconan Kurokami This is a great freakin analogy!!!!
I'm just respecting the Guy Cecil picture lol
I was just going to say the same as the dude below me, such an amazing analogy!
Yeeeeeeeah this comment is 2:14 in a nutshell lol
As a martial artist of some 24 years of training.And as a fan that has indeed watched these movies thousands of times,you absolutely gave me notice of techniques that slipped past my well trained eye. Thank you Shari.
I actually applaud UFC for giving so much props to Bruce in the new EA game and also the "I am bruce lee" documentary. Back then UFC fanboys would shit on Bruce all the time not realizing nearly all their favorite fighters looked up to him. In a match with rules Bruce may lose to some fighters. In a life or death street fight, bruce would clean up the whole house.
So true. I like how you praised him without making him out as a god
Most of it anyway. I have Great Respect for Bruce Lee; but there are fighters out there, who rival him. I am aware that he had a good grappling game, as well; but I would love to see him on the ground with Royce Gracie, or Adolf Ernst (Aka Ad Santel) in their primes.
Johann Farmann-Katzer Right, but as I said in a match setting Royce would probably beat him if it was pure grappling. But if it was a street fight where anything goes, it's unlikely Bruce would even hit the floor and even if he did, eye jabs, biting, crotch attacks would make a lot of grapple moves obsolete.
Try putting me in an armbar when I'm determined to rip flesh right off your leg. The strength he possessed was NOT normal for someone his size, and he knew the effectiveness of having a ground game and wrestling as he encountered grappling great Gene Lebell in the states prior to him going back to HK to become a star.
Very true. It would still be good to see what would happen. Again, no direspect to Master Lee: The gracies are also no strangers to dirty fighting; and very tough.
Life or death he kills them all. Rules are so much different. I have trained both ways. Mind set for rule base fighting I never liked. When the rules are gone some people with a different mindset have alternative deadlier skills.
Bruce's movement was too fast for me to see. Thanks for the analysis. Good job.
Bruce would have loved 60 fps
I wish we could have had him do a maximum speed combat workout with someone else who was really fast and capture it all on a Phantom Flex.
Fucking A.
I think he love 100000 fps
Now there is 960fps. It would be truly amazing to see his moves right now if he has alive.
Commerce Junction Lol it’s possible to record in 10 trillion FPS. 960 is nothing haha.
@@Omie01 really?😅😂
Been a lifetime fan, and even I mad never seen some of these.
And I'm fully aware of Bruce Lee's use of the feint to distract the opponent.
It's one of the most underused techniques in fighting.
Well, it's used in boxing ALL the time - But this is the very first time I have seen a guy feint THAT freaking fast....!

Especially in so called action movies.
Bruce Lee was so fast even his shadow couldn't keep up!
That's the best one I've heard yet!.
🌏 I am a big fan of Bruce Lee and I like his life and his works. He is just a famous movie star who shows realistic fighting skills like many action movie stars today. Do not exaggerate him. He is dead, so whoever can flatter him to be excellent. There are real martial artists today are much better than he is. Many fighters who fight and win in the real arena more than a hundred times.
Please forgive Nocs for he knows not what he says!
@@nocsm1701 not true.
good one!
He was fighting by instinct like a wild cat turning reaction into reflex
Practice till it becomes you. You will react so fast that you will do the move from the subconscious mind before you actually think of the move in your conscious mind. You will say to yourself I did the move before I thought of it.

You forgot the arm break to Chuck Norris.Bruce puts his right hand on the inside of Chucks wrist.Then Bruce puts his left hand on Chucks elbow pushing inwards snapping his arm.The movement is incredible! Bruce's hands start at his waist, does the snap and his hands are back at his waist all in a second. Then Bruce crushes his knee. Horrifyingly beautiful finish!
Lee Banks Wow I never noticed Bruce's Left arm therefore missed it. Thank you for this. I am planning to make a second part and will definitely include that. :)
Cool! Yeah I've watched Way Of The Dragon about 50 times. :)
nice find
Thanks, it's so fast it looks like a block but it ain't. Bruce was a machine.
+Lee Banks is a block a strike, or is a strike a block?
Bruce Lee's feints wouldn't work on me because they're too fast for me to notice :)

preach!
I saw Bruce Lee in person in Washington DC in 1968 do his twenty minute demonstration. He was confident, charismatic, cocky (in a good way) and had everyone’s attention as he spoke to the crowd. He had the fastest hand speed I have ever seen. In a word he was everything you can imagine and then some. He was there as a guest of Jhoon Rhee for a National Karate Championship featuring Joe Lewis defending his heavyweight title. My friend and coworker Joe West talked me into attending the tournament. He was a student at one of the schools.
Lee had superhuman speed. Thanks for the slow motion show!
Wow, great finds! These are things I've never come close to noticing. I'm so used to the action nowadays where it's just made to be entertaining, but I've found new respect for Bruce because of the realistic aspects of fighting he put into his choreography.
it is well known to HK cinema that they admit the cameras fail to capture bruce lee fast movements. He was simply too fast for the camera to catch or maybe human eyes
Cameras in the 70s. The cameras we have nowadays would have captured his movements without a worry.
There were special cameras, even in the 50's, that could catch Lee's actions. But they ran a 50,000 frames per second and were super expensive. Some were used during Hydrogen bomb tests in Slo-Mo to see the first few seconds of how the bomb exploded.
Check out the videos of the first H bomb tests. Also, check out the slo mo Saturn 5 engine burns. They used super fast film at super hi frame rates, even back in the day. They used cameras that were so fast, that only digital cameras of today are faster. Now they have cameras that can see bullets go through 2 inch steel at many thousands of frames per second, but they also had film cameras when testing the H bombs in the 1950's. They are on UA-cam if you search. They even tell you the frame rate. If I wasn't so tired, I hunt down the link for you.
We are speaking of average cameras used by the cinema industry in the 70s and not some "special" cameras used by the US army or some rocket science research institute...
Film runs at 24 frames per second (fps). That is going to make any fast movement appear blurry or jerky. At 30 fps and up to 60 fps fast movements would appear more smooth and a lot less blurred because it is at the speed that the human eye is able to process information. Doug Trumbull (a film director and SFX supervisor) had figured this out and created a movie process called "Showscan" and patented the speeds from 30 to 60 fps. For many years his demonstration of Showscan, showing at 60 fps had been seen in Las Vegas at the Luxor.
Superhuman 😍😍
He's toooo toooo fast 😍😍❤🙏
Such a great master and real man my hero ❤
Bruce is the realist! All those feint moves, just amazing
I don't think there will ever be another as good as Mr. Lee. there are a lot of greats today, but he was on another level.
Bruce Lee was the best martial artist of all time, no question. and I'm proud to be named after his son :D
Because his dedication was nonhuman, who trains 14 hours a day?? He was the John Coltrane, (Jazz innovator and legend who practiced every single day of his musical life and still influences musicians today having passed 60 years ago), of martial arts. Like Michael Jackson was to entertainment. Michael Jordan to basketball ... You don't get to their level without freakish dedication!
Fred Freddy
I guess that too. The choreography comes from his knowledge of fighting techniques and skills.
@Fred Freddy he fought many many people! He didnt take the role of a movie for the money. He saw it as a way to reach out to the world of how martial arts should be and not what it is or was
Absolutely amazing. I never noticed all of the feints!
Bruce Lee was too fast for cameras. In a real fight, he would be unbeatable. How can you fight someone who's punches can't be blocked, and can block yours before you make them, then hit you before your brain registers the impact?
+XxsplaSh0-o are you saying that because they can take punches, that's a stupid reason because he can stop there pubes before they can make them
+Max The Great punches*

Ohhhhhh you have no idea, hun ;-)

Bruce Lee is the real life version of the Flash
The fact that Bruce Lee never got the chance to be filmed in Bullet Time is a crime against humanity.
if Bruce Lee still live, he'd be in the Expendables instead of Jet Lee.
No Jet Li would not be replaced.
Chuck Norris would be replaced.
^ you have a point there... since Bruce wins against Chuck... :D
Bruce was the complete martial artist ... mentally, physically and spirituality. There will never be another as unique and as brilliant as the late great Bruce Lee
Feint my ass! I'd never see the feint, the jab, punch or kick comin, dang this man was super fast.
A true master of his art! Just simply perfection in every way!
This video alone is in my top 3 of favourite UA-cam videos. Didn't notice a lot of these and I've watched them all hundreds of times - the I always thought the fist of fury backfist was an elbow strike
Three words: Speed, accuracy and power
That's a Bruce Lee Quote, dumbass
I am one of those ex- boxers who laughed a Bruce Lee's ability. I was sure that one well placed left hook would ground Bruce and he wouldn't be getting up. Then I started studying his moves and tactics.
I am a fool.
Bruce Lee was three moves ahead of anything you threw at him. Every defensive move he used incorporated an offensive reaction. Add that to the speed and precision of his tactics and you have a guy that was almost unbeatable. People say size matters in fighting. Those same people have never studied Royce Gracie.
So I look back and realize that my left hook was not the best, but a very decent one. After years of research I now know that my left hook didn't matter. I would have never landed it.
Make no mistake, Bruce Lee was in fact "That good". And when I hear people like MJW say they could beat Bruce Lee, I have to laugh.
GetsumJ
The Dragon 🐉 is death.
When the lion king is not in the Jungle come the Schakals out and proclaims self a the Kings of the Jungle.
Ithink when MJW have on Bruce not single move landed.
Now beat even a not martial arts trained actor ( Brad Pitt )!???
Oh Times oh
@ GetsumJ: Nice of you to realize that you were a fool.
Bruce couldn't take down Lesnar. Prolly would stick & move. Let Brock tire himself. Then break his big ass down. Kinda like Jet Li in Fearless we he fought the Undefeated American Wrestler.
@starlight_93 No one could beat Bruce Lee!
Yeah I saw that on a radio interview when they asked who would win between him and bruce Lee, his first stupid uneducated answer was me because of size, I'm like bro seriously, I'm a big finnatic of bruce Lee but he was smart, strong, and dangerous, I love michael jai white and thinks he's a phenomenal fighter but to say because your bigger than somebody you'd beat them is your first fail, he'll they teach you that in karate class, never underestimate your opponent, I believe bruce would have became friends with him and they both would have switched knowledge from each other, bruce seemed like a humble person but I believe if you piss him off he'd hurt you
Wow..... What an analysis about the great master.... All the analysis shows your deep built love for Bruce Lee.... Bruce lives permanently in the hearts 💕 of his analysers, fans, fighters, admirers....
In my _extremely_ limited knowledge, something that stands out about Bruce is that he seemed to have a supernatural ability to identify the blind spots of his opponents. All the feints were done so close (and so fast, of course) that the opponent’s field of vision wouldn’t even register. Reminds me very much of someone like Apollo Robbins or Bob Arno. I think Bruce would have also made a phenomenal artful manipulator!
He was the best and no man will ever walk this earth like Bruce.
I was lucky to attend a Bruce Lee Anniversary convention in 1997 in England where they showed the full uncut version of “Way of the Dragon” meet some of the actors (boss man) and everyone said he was too fast for the camera.
Always amazes me every time I watch a Bruce Lee movie or documentary.
My hero forever
Bruce Lee was one of the most inspirational man ever to walk the earth .
Bruce Lee was so fast! That at 1:46 every since I was a child, I always said how vicious that back elbow blow was, and at 28 years, I’m seeing it now as it always was.... a back punch lol
Bruce is a legend. Its a fact not an opinion. He is an example of perfection. Good job, great video..
If you can find it there's a really lovely video on here of Jackie Chan telling a story of when he acted/fought with Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon. Bruce accidentally whopped Jackie in the head with a stick in one scene but being a professional actor he acted like nothing happened and finished the scene, but when the director shouted CUT! Bruce dropped his sticks and ran over there, real sorry for the accidental blow. It's a wonderful story and a sweet illustration of another aspect of Bruce Lee that was as you say "perfection" (I know you meant physically! but still). His professionalism, his respect, his courtesy, his kindness :)
No one is perfect. Only our lord is
Thanks for a great, well done post! I've been a fan of Bruce Lee since the late 70s, but this is the nicest concise video showing many of his moves. The more I learn, the more I am absolutely amazed by Bruce Lee. This video is an amazing, easy to follow look at just how incredibly fast Bruce was. PS: kicks and punches executed to miss, i.e. fakes, are actually harder to do than real ones.
Absolutely outstanding! Truly a great phenom in the martial arts world. I remember watching enter the dragon when I was 8 (although that was in '99 on video cassette tape... Old skool) it always amazed me how fast he could move. If I can make a slight comparison between Bruce Lee and a basketball player I would have to say Hakeem Olajuwon is the best choice. Both offensively would throw you off guard, Bruce with his feints and block removers and Hakeem with his dream shakes and post play. Defensively Bruce was extremely agile and clever when it came to getting the best of his opponent, timing the movement from a strike and countering, and Hakeem ... Well this guy would lock you down on defence! Block shot and steal ball! Simply amazing athletes and people. R.I.P Bruce
forget the critics, the 4+ million speaks for itself. Brilliant video. thank you for sharing and helping bruce teach from beyond the dojo.
Speed of a bullet strength of a leaperd heart of a lion. Brain of pure light. Poetry in motion. . Shooting star who lives on
This global phenomenon called Bruce Lee within 33 years of age managed to build himself up to the level of a philosopher , a master of martial arts and became an actor ! He also was a great dancer , he was the guy responsible for the worldwide free spreading of the Asian knowledge of martial arts and he was battling with a spine injury for the last years of his life . He wasn't just fast , we were too slow for him . He died in 1973 and still to this day there is no one to go as close to Bruce as DK Yoo from Korea ! The same things everybody said about Bruce Lee since his death , they also said about DK Yoo , that he never fought with someone , he just does presentations etc etc ... Yeah and whoever has eyes and brains understands that both Bruce and DK are the real deal .

The slow motion guys would have loved Bruce Lee
2:14 he also telegraphs the feint with his eyes to sell it!!!! great catch!
I always will respect the qualities that Bruce Lee was endowed with. a lot of people forget that Bruce Lee was truly the real deal Holyfield. he was a tactician and architec that engineered a new system of martial arts with in that old system . He never went around Proclaiming that he was unbeatable or the greatest of all times. he simply wanted to tear down a very racial and biased control societies. It ridiculed the Asian world n Chinese Culture. Martial arts became the tool that he utilized to bring his vision into a more racial acceptance into the American society and also around the world. We have to remember and never aloud the naysayers and hypocrites to poison our mines about him. His only mission in life was, to tear down that border and a invisible boundary. he utilize also how to use the right supplements to refuel and build your body to be able to achieve victory and excellence to reach for your own majestic glory. He said it the best that, " I cannot teach you, I only can help you to explore yourself". Just look around at popular pop culture of all the martial arts movies from the Shaw Brothers and others alike out there. they would have never been able to get that wide range of international support and marketing. For he became the living representation of endorsement and help marketed at the time that was definitely segregated. He had that spirit that capture you that made you drop and stop what you doing. He punch you can say lol, the world to the solar plex and we are still feeling that blow. truly one of the most iconic man of the 20th century. for he accomplished all of this within the short and limited time when he was alive. remember he was only 32 years old when he passed away. That is to me the definition and the embodiment of a Grandmaster. He will never be forgotten. ~RIP to Bruce Lee~
Southern Cross he did walk around and said that he was unbeatable. There was also a scene in his movie, "Dragon, the Bruce Lee Story" He said that he could beat any man in 60 seconds or less. And he did say that. And the movie was commissioned by his family. And he was beaten. He lost to Jack Man Wong years ago. But, dont say that im a hater. I am Bruce Lees biggest fan. But, to say that he was humble was not true. He was the cockiest bastard out there. In his interview, he even said that, if he could put on a show, and not be cocky. and to truly express himself. Was very hard to do. What he meant was, he couldnt do it without being cocky....And to be honest...He was cocky, and I believed every word he said....
indra kortua is this your attempt to start some controversy or do you like to throw a little bit of Anarchy into the mix and see what happens? if so that's all good but it will be nice to finally hear somebody admit that's what they're doing. We all have the right to say what we want to say but I know we have people out there who love to start controversy and through anarchy into the equation.
I am not trying to start controversy. These things did happen. And so there is no anarchy here. All of which I said was true. If I was here to stir trouble, I would admit it. But, what is there to admit if Im not here to cause trouble? Lots of people cannot admit the fact that Bruce Lee lost. Or that he was cocky. Or that he couldnt control his big head. They couldnt admit this because they are his number one fans. I am his number one fan as well. However, I will be the first to admit that he did lose. He does have a big head. He is cocky. And he cannot contain himself when it comes to showing off. But, I will also admit, that he is still number 1. Some of the best, lose all the time. Michael Jordon didnt win all the time. Mohammed Ali didnt either. Neither did Pete Sampras, Tiger Woods, Larry Bird, Manny Pacqiao, Peyton Manning, etc, etc. Some people may not consider some of the people I mention, as being the best of the best. However, if everybody has lost one time or another, then who is the best? But, getting back to Bruce Lee, make no mistake that he did lose. There is evidence in his book. There is evidence in his movie, which was commissioned by his family. And there bits of evidence here and there. Do your research and you will find this stuff. But, of course, nobody would do all these tedious research unless, they were "Bruce Lee's Number 1 Fan."
indra kortua I still like to remind people that , Bruce Lee was 32 years old when he died. How many people do we know personally accomplish a lot of goals that he did when they were 32 or even before they turn 30? Nobody is perfect and there always will be something that somebody is going to find to use against you. That is a promise. I'm the kind of person I can over look certain things that, do not hold weight to a snowflake if you know what I mean lol? It is a price that you must pay if you do become famous because, once you build a person up then you must destroy them. that is how the media operates as long as you can get the scoop and make that money, they do not care who they crucify. Kareem Abdul Jabbar say something that made a lot of sense when he starred in Game of Death. He mention that a lot of people do not truly understand how young Bruce Lee really was it this time. his accomplishments and the things that he did was, revolutionary. Not too many people had the knowledge or the wisdom and philosophy he already had at such a young age. I was raised by a philosophy of growing up in the 80's called, if a person has nine bad qualities but one good focus on that one. But in Bruce Lee's case he had 9 good quality so why even focus on that one bad? I will say it again the man was only 32 years old and didn't have anybody pretty much at that time to look up to to establish anything or a rock solid foundation. basically he gave us the foundation to build many things upon which we have done over the last 40 years. We live in the age now will we understand bodybuilding vitamin shops / GNC's. Different martial art associations even down to UFC has all been credited for becoming popular because of one man. I'm sure somebody else out there probably would have came along and may have accomplished something here or there but, even some of those people admit it's because of Bruce Lee contribution in establishing the foundation, most things were able to make it to the surface. To the point that now even on a subconscious level you are not even aware that you've been influenced by him. I study history and I know the facts and also know that it will always be people out there who find that one negative thing to use against somebody. But at 32 years old he accomplished something that a lot of men even by the time they get probably 62, can only hope and wish for which is fulfill whatever your destiny maybe. to go after it with the utmost courage and to not let anybody tell you it is impossible. To me that's what gives him the title are modern Grandmaster.
I understand that you wanna focus on the good and not the bad. I was not trying to draw attention to all that is bad. I am a "you get what you see" type of guy. If he did 10 good things, then he did 10 good things. If there was also one bad in there, then there was one bad in there. Alot of fans dont want people to mention that this person was not perfect. They dont like to think that he lost. Or was a trouble maker. Or anything like that. Im sure he had his ups and downs. But, that doesnt make me any less a fan. I am still fascinated with the guy, despite the fact that he died over 40 years ago.....
I remember during the Game of Death, he had to slow down because the camera couldn't pick up his movements.
Imagine him demonstrating technique with some of the thousand-frame per second cameras. Sigh.
Reckless Fresh He could probably hit you before he actually hit you.
or maybe you're already down on the ground before he even hit you
Camera has to slow down for Jet Li too. Jet Li won't stand a chance in the UFC. There's a big big big difference between real vs not-real fights. In real fights, the uncertainty and scariness factor are what make you hesitate, freeze, and consequently slow.
jet li wouldn't stand a chance in UFC because his techniques don't work in close quarters. He has enough experience to manage uncertainty. But when someone has him in guard and is setting up one of 1,455,820 arm bars, he would be loath to stop them.
He's some shots difficult to catch even movie cameras..unbeleavable speed
Amazing, simply amazing. These movements were captured on camera for movies. It's hard to imagine the many movements in a real fight. No wonder why he IS the true master. Thanks for the video.
good job putting all this together man :)
Thank you... :)
I always pause and see his movements his speed was incredeble
ANOTHER SECRET......one of the most important things to recognize is how his palm is open right before he strikes. that allows a significant increase in speed @0:57
YOU ARE VERY CLEVER.....
How does having his palm open right before beginning his closed fist acceleration allow for a significant increase of speed exactly? Looks to me like his fist could have been closed to begin with and it would have made no difference.
Try shadow punching in the mirror with a closed fist and a open fist.
Breathtaking, as always. Never ceases to amaze me
His fight scenes are actually already in slow motion or you wouldn't even see any of the moves.
ROFL!! You serious? I could barely see if not at all some of the things pointed out to me in this video. And you are saying it's not at full speed? Dafuq!!?
***** They often had to re-shoot a lot of his fights because he simply moved too fast for the camera to capture his movements and strikes, and it looked like people were falling for no reason. For the Green Hornet TV series, especially, since Kato wasn't supposed to have "supernatural powers".
Yea the film director when bruce join, ever say if they re shoot cuz they need bruce to slow the punch
Sheep yep in his movies they actually had to slow down the footage www.neatorama.com/2007/10/23/10-kick-ass-facts-about-bruce-lee/
Bruce was literally too fast for the camera.
Only thing i did ever notice as a kid was the groin kick.
Truly a legend ahead of his time
I didn't even notice the wing chun block remover in that bob wall fight
You are not the only one. I've seen Enter The Dragon over a hundred times and I've never noticed those Wing Chun block removers in the fight with Bob Wall either. Bruce Lee was deadly fast.
actually, arnis uses that too; although it's usually more of a straight grab his stance looks more from the PMA styles
Bre Fujimoto I LOVE watching Bruce's films over 100 x as well and I noticed sum of the movements he was doing to his enemies very quick very speedy so memorable
You know, Bruce was so fucking fast, half the time the only way i even knew he had hit somebody was when he would do that awesomely unique and signature chi 'Woo ahhh'!! (am I saying that right, his chi?). I wouldn't see the move, i'd just hear him yell and the opponent flying off into the distance. The guys was a living muscle, maybe the perfect man physically fitness wise, amazing discipline and dedication . . .
I've seen it before, but only after I watched it in slow motion. After that I incorporated it into my boxing strategy. Bruce Lee was so fast that he had to slow his movements down during the filming of The Green Hornet, because he was too fast for the camera. If only 1080 p existed during his lifetime. But don't wait for that day, because it ain't never gonna happen. The onliest thing we can do, is wonder and imagine.
I don't blink when I watch his movies..
Though I missed a lot.
🙏🙏🙏 Respect Legend
I'm not trained in the fighting arts but I idolized him as a kid growing up. We all did.
***** being honest, i saw Jakie Chen's filming when i was very little. they were filming in extremely slow action that I could tell he was horrible at kongfu....
maybe he is now (idk), but his dumb commentary on my country keeps my hating him still.
and that goes for me too. but I really love his movies and his philosophy teachings.
Not only the fighting but the physical and mental training he cultivated was out of the ordinary.
Is it just me or were most of these perfectly visible?
I thought so too.
They actually had to slow down the speed of reproduction of the movie, during the battles. You can see the reaction of the people fighting against him, they didn't even notice, or reacted really late.
+Lukeor says it: "I remember during the Game of Death, he had to slow down because the camera couldn't pick up his movements."
Not only visible, but not amazing in anyway also. Bruce Lee was a great lartial artist but this shows almost nothing notable.
Wasnt it established that he was asked to pull his punches (slow down) in order for the crappy cameras of the times to catch everything? Thats what I've heard at least
***** In his movies the slowed down the movie when we moved, because his moved were way too fast for the camera to capture.
Hey, haters gonna hate. This is a great compilation. Terminology be damned. You explained it in lay terms, which opens the discussion up to everyone.
People who cling to genre specific terminology create a code that excludes outside interest. Screw that. This is a good thing you've done.
Thank you!
redneckzen Thank you :)
Beautifull ...... Video THANKS for puting together the video ..... .. . .
Great video 😎 All who are really into martial arts know that this guy knew his stuff. This is very impressive and shows the class of the man😎
wow he was super fast and that was his real fighting skills not Hollywood fights
Law of physics "Speed Equals Strength "
@@ericwalker3588 If you want to see a real fighter with speed watch the 13th round of the Sugar Ray Leonard/Thomas Hearns first fight or the Leonard/ Davey Boy Green fight.
He's the most amazing human i ever seen in all my life. No one like Bruce Lee. R.I.P.
Oh My God! Uncountable likes to the observations. Thank you so much for sharing. I am loving Bruce Lee more now.
Notice Bruce Lee drinking a hot green tea and eating some steamed soybeans before his third and fourth punch at the Russian dude in suspenders?
Bruce Lee was the absolute man!! Phenomenal! ! I'll love him forever! !
excellent video well done brilliant observations
Thank you :)
How can you not love watching this Martial Arts master!
Geeze all these years I thought Bruce Lee did one single back fist strike in Chinese Connection and never knew he threw a feint before the back fist punch. My eyes didn't even see the first feint and that now tells me how incredible his speed is now proven. The naked eye cant even detect that first feint. All I can say now from back in 1973 that his speed was beyond everyone else''s then and currently now.
Bruce Lee & Brandon Lee were Iconic Empires of Jeet Kune Do.
most feints I didn't notice when I was smaller, but most of the stuff shown in this video were clear to me ever since I watched his movies for the first time..
One of the best videos on Bruce Lee!
