Bruce lee real fighting5/9/2023 Norris is a world champion in karate, while Lee is an expert in kung fu who trained in Wing Chun and formed his own style, Jeet Kune Do, in the 1960s. Fortunately for Bruce Lee fans, according to ScreenRant, the entire 40 minutes that Lee shot for Game of Death in 1972 are now available to watch without the lame bookends. Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris are both icons in the martial arts world but are completely different in terms of their fighting styles. It’s a classic showdown, with the 5’8” star proving to his 7’2” opponent that the bigger they are, the harder they fall. Bruce Lee uses a bo staff against Hans guards in Enter the Dragons cave fight, disarming a bo staff from one guard and using it to hold off a group of opponents. While the entire pagoda fight is great, the highlight of the movie is Lee’s duel with Hakim, a hulking giant of a martial arts star played to perfection by the great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Here he dons the famous yellow tracksuit that would later inspire the wardrobe in Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill. Regardless of the questionable ethics involved in the film’s completion, the scenes that Lee did film are fantastic and some of the most iconic in his career. Whether it was anyone’s right to finish Lee’s movie without him is one thing, but including actual footage from Lee’s funeral is just plain old bad taste. It’s the result of a low-budget cobbling together of a 1972 film that Lee left unfinished when he died, and a wrap-around story featuring not-so-convincing stand-ins for the deceased star.
