His single kill was Walker Texas Ranger, but he was reluctant to end his life. It is easily one of the most iconic moments in Lee’s film career and is competing for the top spot as best movie, but there were character traits that couldn’t allow me to move Lung higher up this list.
Bruce lee through the darkest of times movie#
Yes, the movie where Tang Lung kills Colt (Chuck Norris) in the Coliseum. I love all of these Bruce’s and each one of them would kill you pretty easily.ĥ. From here on out, this will be the most difficult thing I will ever have to do. He could also probably get you killed by his friends.) (To be fair to Cheung, he was part of a gang at 10 so I assume they saw some violent promise in him. That’s how upset I am that Winslow went out by getting faked into a jump kick off a skyscraper. Show the man some respect.īruce Lee was 10 years old. At least toss somebody in there who could pretend to be on Lee’s level.

Winslow Wong died without even getting hit in Marlowe. – Bruce Lee would (and did) annihilate Chuck Norris.


Bruce Lee was a much more talented actor than most people realize and each of his characters have traits that effect just how likely he was to kill you. – Rankings are based off the whole movie, not just Bruce’s fighting scenes alone. – This is not about the best movie, this is about the Bruce that you’d least want to see in a dark alley, or even in the middle of Times Square on NYE. This is 100% for my own enjoyment (and so I can watch Bruce Lee clips during work). I am in no way, shape, or form writing this for any audience. Yes, this is a Zac personal indulgence piece. Since there is obviously no match for Lee, all that’s left to do is compare him against the only worthy adversary, himself. This compressed the force, and made the punch all the more powerful.There are few things in this world better than watching the late-great-legendary martial arts master, THE Bruce Lee, dissemble opponents in any of his classic karate flicks. Lee would instantly pull his fist back, which shortened the impact time. He was literally putting his entire body - and likely most of his resting energy - into each punch. People have been studying just how the legendary martial artist pulled off this feat for years.Īccording to biomechanical researcher, Jessica Rose or Stanford University, "When watching the one-inch punch, you can see that his leading and trailing legs straighten with a rapid, explosive knee extension." This forces the speed of his twisting hips to increase, which lurches his shoulder forward. The result often caused the volunteer to slam back into the chair, and slide back a few feet. Within an instant, Lee would pull his fingers into a fist and punch with all his (considerable) strength. Behind them would be a chair, and Lee would place his fingers on their chest in preparation for the punch. Some notable practitioners include his son Brandon Lee, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Lady Gaga, and Nicholas Cage, among many others.īasically, Lee would stand in front of a volunteer, who would have a board or some other protective gear covering their chest. Jeet Kune Do is still practiced thanks to Lee's influence and teachings. Lee's influences in establishing his new style came from fencing, western-style boxing, and Wing Chun. He called it " the style of no style," emphasizing the abandonment of a formalized approach to training. Fitness and nutrition became paramount in his training and he formalized Jeet Kune Do as a new martial arts. Lee built upon his already established physical regimen, to improve his physique to Captain America levels. This led to the evolution of Jeet Kune Do, a system of fighting that abandons the rigidity of established forms, and places an emphasis on practicality, flexibility, efficiency, speed, and physique. The fight went on for 20 minutes - upon reflection, Lee concluded that lasted too long, and the form of Kung Fu he was following was too formalistic to be practical. Jeet Kune Do evolved after Lee's fight with Wong Jack Man in 1964, a fight that arose due to Lee's insistence on teaching non-Chinese students. He continued to develop his style until he created Jeet Kune Do in 1967. Lee opened his first martial arts studio in Seattle, which he called the Lee Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute.
