So nice to meet Bruce Lee in this movie and share one of Ben’s favs from his younger years! This was different than what I expected and reminded me a little of a Bond movie. The more I have read about BL and what kind of man he was, I wish we could have seen all that he would have done with more years :( This had some great lines and great scenes and made me just want to 🤛🤜🦵hiyah!

Comments

Brian McGovern

Should check out Fist full of Yen. Short "movie" but funny. Spoof of this movie I think. It is on YT.

Rick Rodriguez

Now its on! You HAVE to do Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story and Kentucky Fried Movie, Cassie!

Chris Thom

Great title photo for this one. Very artistic.

Darren Harrison

Interesting that it reminded you of a Bond movie. One-time Bond actor George Lazenby was signed to costar with Bruce Lee in a movie before Lee’s death canceled the production.

Bill Maurer

So much talent, but very, very little time. Bruce Lee, all time legend. Hopefully you can check out Jackie Chan ( he was in this movie as one the henchmen) and Jet Li as well. Have fun with the family in beautiful Alberta

Edgar Gonzalez

Bruce Lee, the creator of Jeet Kune Do, and a man who's Philosophy changed martial arts forever... Cassie, as I mentioned, please react to Jet Li's "Kiss of the dragon" and "Romeo must die". Great action and extremely entertaining. You already have been introduced to Jet Li in "Lethal weapon 4" but "Romeo must die" and "Kiss of the dragon" are the first 2 Hollywood movies in which he started as the lead role. The rest of the cast on both movies are awesome as well!

Night King01

You need to check out some more Jackie chan as well. The police story filks are great

Mannygogou

love it, I will be watching this when I get the time 😊

Win

Best of the Best (1989) another martial arts movie I recommend

Chris Thom

I remember when Romeo Must Die had that big Aaliyah song. Monster hit. RIP.

Nick Ireland

If you remember, in "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood," a fictionalised version of Bruce Lee appears in a scene where he is challenged by Brad Pitt's character, Cliff Booth. Bruce Lee is boasting about his fighting prowess and they have a fight in the parking lot where Brad Pitt slams him into a car.

TheSingulatarian

"Kentucky Fried Movie" is the movie it comes from. It is a collection of skits "Fist full of Yen" is about twenty minutes of it. It is very hit or miss but when it hits it is hilarious. Made by the same guys that made "Airplane!".

Brian McGovern

I know what it was from, however I don't think she would appreciate some of the other skits, like Catholic School girls in trouble

Michael West

Bruce Lee is a Hollywood icon. This is a classic every movie lover should watch. Glad you finally got to see it.

Shehab Dawoud

Alright, you've watched one Martial Arts master now, time to move on to another. Jackie Chan in Rush Hour!

TheSingulatarian

You might also like the movie "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story 1992" a dramatization of Bruce Lee's Life.

Chris Thom

I thought Tarantino would be a fan. For such a 70's kid aficionado and lover I assumed it was inevitable. But I didn't even really know Bruce's story and it really felt like he did him dirty with that one.

Chris Thom

Always thought of Jackie as Indiana Jones to Bruce's James Bond for some reason.

Richard Maurer

Great reaction Cassie. Lots of fun - as usual.

Andrew R

You'll love Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story! Also, the magnificent IP Man (Bruce Lee's childhood instructor) movies are all over due on the channel! One last thing, don't believe what you read about Bruce Lee's sweat glands killing him. Whether he had them removed or not, apocrine glands are not sweat glands. Removing them would have had little to do with thermoregulation overall.

baz0348

Think you're thinking of dragon the Bruce lee story which is in all honesty and amazing movie but starred Jason Scott lee.

Shehab Dawoud

You'll have to elaborate on that one, bro

Just Plain Bob

Chris, I did a little Googling at the time the movie was released and found stories that Bruce could be kinda rough with the stunt men on Green Hornet and was disrespectful of the work they did. He apparently had a change of heart when he was asked by the stunt coordinator on the show to choreograph a fight scene. Realizing how difficult it could be, he supposedly changed his attitude. I don’t know if that’s where Tarantino got the idea for Cliff fighting Bruce or not. Tarantino also seems to prefer Sonny Chiba and his Tsuguri character from the “Street Fighter” films to Bruce Lee’s movies. Although I also like the “Street Fighter” movies, there’s no question that Lee’s movies are better and that he’s better in them.

JPDotCom23

If you want to check out more Bruce Lee movies, he was only able to do four of them before his untimely death; 'Fists of Fury', 'The Chinese Connection' and 'The Return of the Dragon', the latter co-starred Chuck Norris, in his movie debut.

Choof

I think what he's saying is Bruce, like bond, was always shown as smooth, in control, a bit suave. Where Jackie was like indy, more comical, pratfalls, making it up as he goes along in a conflict

Joe J

We could use another martial arts poll IMO.

Richard Maurer

FYI - most streaming sites have changed the title Return of the Dragon to Way of the Dragon. This was the original Chinese title, that’s the only reason I could find for the change.

JPDotCom23

Actually, that was the original title, when it was first released, but when it hit US theatres, title was changed to 'Return of the Dragon', to cash in on 'Enter the Dragon'.

Mojo One Thousand

"I can see why boys are obsessed with nunchucks"... pretty much. And, then some genius in the early days of YouTube goes and makes them into lightsabers... this is not from "Enter the Dragon", but Bruce Lee nonetheless... always brings a smile to my face - https://youtu.be/FQC29joihwU?si=Tg2PLRw2Y0XokdFU It is very "Bond" like, particularly "You only live twice"... south east Asian island hideaway run by a madman with with a white cat, that is taken down by a scrappy band of martial artists and a westerner rocking a hair piece.

K, Zachary

Slept right through the ping that's a first. I became a huge Bruce Lee fan when I learned he was best friends with well I well let Instagram do the talking. This came out a few days ago: https://www.instagram.com/p/DMBQjb5RRKn/?igsh=M2c0YzNmbXY3dHpx I know she was good friends with Bruce's wife Linda Emery. Actually Enter The Dragon was the movie I voted for. So thanks to Ben for putting it on his list. Thanks to Cassie for watching it. Which I am sure will be a great reaction. Our respect for Ben and Cassie has gone through the roof in recent months. No special reason. I think however as our relationship grew we began to respect other people's relationships who have made it work for so long. How they do the Canada to Utah making these reactions work I will never know.

Zane From Canada

I guarantee Enter The Dragon is still one of Ben's favorites. 😊

Joe J

Thanks Cassie for reacting to ETD. Please consider a Martial Arts poll, it's been too long.

Steve Holton

Yes, I believe when one buys a private island one is issued a white cat with the closing papers. Indeed, law enforcement should start tracking white cat ownership. Along with the sale of bear claw hand attachments. Thanks Cassie and Ben for this classic. As many have said, you would probably enjoy the love story in Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. November would have been Bruce Lee’s 85th birthday. Please consider this heartwarming biopic for Tender November. 😊

Steve Holton

Actually, the real IP Man has a cameo in this film as the boat ferryman for Bruce Lee. Bruce wanted to somehow include his revered instructor in this film.

Steve Holton

Hi Shehab, Cassie did say in the last chat that the Rush Hour franchise is under consideration for inclusion this year.

Shehab Dawoud

Well that’s great to hear! I’m careful about getting my hopes up though!

Lana Gorgeous

I saw this movie when it first came out. A bunch of us kids at the time about 6 of us, snuck into a Drive-In movie. Back in those days, the owners didn't really mind as long as we were quiet and didn't cause any problems. So we jumped a fence and sat were we could hear the speakers and it was amazing. It was my first Bruce Lee experience. Martial Arts was kind of getting big back then, but the first martial arts type movie I saw was Billy Jack. But once I saw Enter the Dragon, I remembered Bruce Lee from the short lived series The Green Hornet. That was the first martial arts experience on TV, but that series only lasted a year. After watching Enter the Dragon I was addicted, he was my new hero, then we saw his older movies like The Chinese Connection AKA Fists of Fury, and Way of the Dragon with the famous fight with Chuck Norris. A lot of kids started learning martial arts, my brother even made his own Nunchucks. Gotta love the 70's <3 If you went into a kids room, black or white you would see three posters, Bruce Lee, Angela Davis esp if you were a black kid, the famous Farrah Fawcett poster, black or white , Al Pacino Serpico poster, and for black kids Lincoln Hayes from the mod squad :) and for girls posters of various teen idols back then like Michael Jackson, David Cassidy, etc. The 70's were awesome and Bruce Lee was a huge part of that :)

Joe J

I to got caught up in the early 70's martial arts craze, remember the TV show Kung Fu? Karate class was cool, until I got kicked in the wobblies one too many times. Then I took up guitar. 😂

Scott Macaulay

Hey it’s the movie that inspired us Gen X kids to buy ninja stars and nunchucks in the 80s to hurt ourselves and our friends with. You could buy them in the mall!!! The 80s amiright?😂😂. Man I loved Bruce Lee growing up. Both he and his son were taken from us too soon. Legend.

Aaron Mann

If you want to learn more about BL, check out Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. A great backstory to his upbringing, his career, how he met his wife, etc.

Joe J

Painfully too long Richard. 😆

MrKsummer7

Cassie, Enter the Dragon has a Theatrical version and a Special Edition version. I have both, which one did you record your reaction to?

Popcorn In Bed

I'm not sure but the one i watched was 1h38 min long!

Clay F

In the early 70's, the TV show Kung Fu was my favorite series of all time. Americans didn't even know what kung fu was before that TV show.

MrKsummer7

Cassie, you watched the theatrical version. Special Edition is 1hr 43m

Uncle Phoenix

LOL, “Bruce Lee; Space Cowboy”.

Doc Larry/old geezer

If you get a chance to watch the movie dragon, even if you don’t watch it on the channel, it is the background of Bruce Lee’s story (biography) fictionalized to some degree but a fascinating movie it was written by his wife Linda

Canadianant

Thanks for watching this one Cassie. This was pretty ground breaking at the time. And yes it does remind one a lot of the James Bond movies of the era also with fantastic musical score by Lalo Schifrin. You would know him as he wrote the original mission Impossible theme. Another property to take more than a little inspiration from this movie and Bruce Lee is the mortal Kombat series of video games. The character of Liu Kang is obviously supposed to be Bruce and has similar moves and his backstory is very similar. Coincidentally they also get sent to a Martial Arts tournament on an island hosted by the Big baddy (shang tsung) who sits in a giant chair watching the action. Of course in that situation it's taken to the extreme with special powers etc but the basic premise is all stolen from this movie! So much of what we think of as to do with pop culture in martial arts kind of relate back to Bruce Lee. Jackie Chan of course which you should watch some more Jackie Chan movies obviously follows in Bruce's footsteps well also adding the elements of humor and improv to the fighting. Would love to see some Jackie on here. I believe you've seen the Shanghai noon but rush hour is great as well . As for his Hong Kong based movies rumble in the Bronx is pretty good as are who am I or drunken master. You can also add me to the chorus of people telling you that you would enjoy dragon the Bruce Lee story as it's sort of a biography of sorts of his life. There's even a love story in it for you. I don't know there's also a certain faction been wanting to get you to watch Cannonball run , Jackie is part of the ensemble cast in that one

Henry M (black6q)

Cassie, if you decide to watch the other BL films, might I suggest “They Call Me Bruce” 1982 after? You might get a kick out of it (pun intended).

Ted Whalen

My introduction to kung fu in the 70’s was through the Saturday morning cartoon Hong Kong Phooey

Tyler Hale

Fist of Fury is a fun one Bruce did where he takes on an entire Japanese dojo. It simply shows how badass we was.

Mannygogou

There are lots of really cool movies in martial arts category such as..., * Meals on Wheels - Jackie Chan fights Benny "The Jet" Urquidez * Five Deadly Venoms - starring the five deadly venoms lol * Master of the Flying Guillotine - you gotta laugh lol, I believe the one-armed boxer encounters the Master of the Flying Guillotine And then... * The House of Flying Daggers, more people know of this one, watch out for mysterious daggers, house special * Hero (2002) - Jet Li, Tony Leung, Zhang Ziyi and others... * Kid with the Golden Arm (1979) - what a fun movie, the premise a shipment of gold is being transported to a famine area... and so heroes must protect it against bandits. It's basically a ready-made D&D adventure.

Clay F

First full watch. Not my kind of movie but appreciate significance. Glad I watched it. I do like the early 1970's "Kung Fu" TV series b/c watched that as a kid. The main character Caine was a Shaolin priest (trained at a Shaolin Temple in China). I like "Ip Man" (2008) ok. We enjoyed the 3 days we spent in Hong Kong in 2016. Awesome city. My uncle had a praying mantis. He fed it insects. Agree that Me Ling is pretty. I liked Roper and Williams ok. The thumbs up at end was kind of funny. I thought Bruce Lee at times had decent acting and charisma. The amplified kiai was a little much. A low point was Han having his bulky fighter kill the guards. Glad that O'Hara got it (responsible for death of Lee's sister) but how Lee depicted killing O'Hara (after O'Hara broke the bottles) a little cheesy. Bruce Lee is a cultural icon. He died a few months after filming and before release of the movie.

baz0348

Yes I'm aware he's no relation.

Steve Holton

Actress Jodie Foster, who starred as a child in the Kung Fu series, once said it was her all-time favorite series. It was a great "Eastern" (As opposed to Western) inspired by a Bruce Lee concept to showcase the wisdom and skill that might come from a disciplined study of martial arts and time spent with altruistic mentors.

Clay F

As a kid, the Kung Fu series was my favorite series of all time. I vaguely remember that episode with Jodie Foster. About 4 years ago, I bought the entire Kung Fu series for super cheap on Amazon Prime video.

Brian's Dog

It's the Special Edition. I didn't watch the whole thing yet, but her timer lines up with my bluray ending around 1:41:50.

Brian's Dog

Pretty sure this is the Special Edition on blurays. It's also the common version on streaming sites currently but doesn't reference itself as special edition.

MrKsummer7

I think you're right Mr. Dog I checked the Special Edition version I have and time is 01:42:48

MrKsummer7

Now that Cassie’s watched martial arts films like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Enter the Dragon, she’s ready for the Ip Man films and Master of the Flying Guillotine!

Gray

Glad you liked it and am looking forward to Rush Hour in the near future. Hopefully we'll get more Bruce Lee & Jackie Chan movies eventually I'd like to see Rumble in the Bronx aswell. Jackie Chan tells a sweet story about when he was a stunt extra on Enter The Dragon and gets slightly hit by Bruce Lee in a scene but exaggerates his pain because he liked being held by his hero. BEST STORY EVER: Jackie Chan Picks A Fight With Bruce Lee... And Loses https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8CtOqJy6xM

Sadly, Bruce Lee never got to see this movie. I started taking karate in 1969. I had been taking karate for three years when I saw my first Bruce Lee movie at the drive-in theater. I was hooked and read everything I could find on Bruce Lee. I was still a little kid when he died. I remember it floored me. I remember everyone in the karate school talking about how the Triads had killed him. There was no way to convince us that someone whom we had put up on a pedestal could have died by natural causes, so, of course, in our minds, he had to have been taken out. Try explaining to a teenager that his hero died from cerebral edema caused by a reaction to a painkiller. His death has remained a controversial subject for over 50 years. Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (1993) is a fascinating biopic I recommend watching.

Richard Maurer

As much as I love Master of the Flying Guillotine, I doubt if it will ever get watched here. Ip Man, however, at least has a shot.

Richard Maurer

36th Chamber of Shaolin (78) is another good one.

Chris Thom

He died this same year? 1973?

FranciscoGios

You should watch the movie about Bruce Lee it is called Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story Cassie, its from 1993. It has elements of half true events and the other half fictional, I recommend because its a good movie.

Ian A

Thanks for the reaction. You actually saw "Bruce Lee" already, he is the character that Brad Pitt character is fighting on the movie set in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

fastecp1

Yep, July 20, 73

Clay F

Thanks for the clip. I like that "Grashopper" account on YouTube. Yeah, hard to reconcile Caine and Bill.

Art Vandalaay

I concur. Definitely the Special Edition. I had to restart after initially hitting play on the Theatrical version.

Stick Figure Studios

QT often steals from artists (whether knowingly or unknowingly) from artists he doesn't like (see: Alfred Hitchcock and John Ford).

John A

Bruce was great, I just met Bolo a month ago, he signed a photo for me. did not talk.

MacGuffinStuff

Bruce Lee was so iconic for us back in the day, he was just a legend to me when I was an 80s kid, but all my older cousins, the dudes, had posters of him on their walls or their doors. He was like an inspiration to every boy, and I'll say maybe even just a little bit more to us brown type kids because he was the only major action hero who wasn't a white dude, not that my favorites weren't Arnold and Sly etc back then (well in the 70s it was Clint Eastwood, Burt Reynolds, and Steve McQueen, who used to train with Bruce Lee) but it was kind of weird and cool to see this Chinese dude just whoop ass. So this is where I take issue with Tarantino's take on Lee, he called him a dancer, which is fair, but I've still seen 120 pound boxers knock the hell out of guys twice their size who were also fighters. Idk Cliff was pretty badass though, definitely a street fighter. And this I'll be laughed at for, but I wouldn't mind at all if Cassie you watched The Last Dragon, it's goofy gold. Not a spoof but it does highlight how popular Bruce Lee was back in that era, and it's campy and funny, but still has kind of cool fight scenes, especially the final fight. Anyway I love it no matter how goofy it is lol

Mannygogou

36th Chamber is pretty cool. That is going another level deeper than the almost-pop-culture level of 5 Deadly Venoms. You can almost guess what the 36th Chamber is. It reminds me of Legendary Weapons of China (1982) starring the same actor but with the cool guy director Lau Kar-leung (aka Liu Chia Liang) oh hold on, both movies are them 🙂

Mannygogou

Whoa factoid - Benny Urquidez is the scary guy who John Cusack fought with in Grosse Pointe Blank... he was probably his martial arts teacher

Mannygogou

Six Degrees of Separation - the movie spawns the game, Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon We start with John Cusack for some reason... who was in Grosse Pointe Blank - and he was fighting with Benny "The Jet" Urquidez... who was in the movie Wheels on Meals fighting Jackie Chan... who was in a movie with Bruce Lee !! Now we just need the Kevin Bacon connection... 😆🙂

Mannygogou

super odd connection... Bruce Lee was in The Green Hornet television series... and in the later Green Hornet movie, Seth Rogen had a so-called-weird interaction with Nicholas Cage... who is easy to connect with Kevin Bacon !

Erik Locquiao

Another great is Bruce Lee’s biopic, “Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story” (1993). Great narrative and acting.

Mannygogou

Degrees of separation with Bruce Lee.. and Matt Damon Bruce Lee learned Filipino Martial Arts with his friend and student Dan Inosanto. Bruce eventually incorporated elements into his own martial arts Jeet Kune Do. Dan Inosanto taught Jeff Imada who became fight choreographer to Matt Damon in The Bourne Identity and also in The Crow... that went into a circle. A little bit of a circle of sadness with Bruce's son Brandon. But seriously Jeff Imada also was taught Jeet Kune Do... and Jeff has done extensive work in films. Bruce Lee's legacy... (through Dan Inosanto).

Mike Lemon

Lee> Bolo >Gibb (Bloodsport)> Busfield (Revenge of the Nerds)> Costner (Field of Dreams)> Bacon (JFK)

Mike Lemon

Lee> Kareem (Game of Death)> James Earl Jones (Rebound)> Costner (Field of Dreams)> Bacon (JFK)

Richard Maurer

Seeing as that version of “Bruce Lee” has little to do with the real Bruce Lee, according to people who actually knew him, it would be more correct to say she saw a caricature of him in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Ian A

True

John Cranberry

NO NO NO!!!!! We can't download anymore? How are we supposed to create a sync download with the video? You have to go back. THIS IS RUINING EVERYTHING!!!!

John Cranberry

Ok, so ETD is on YT. Few 😮‍💨 But The Aviator isn't? Let's not do this again because you scared me. Downloading the reaction is a must!

Nick Ganssle

Yeah, I DMed them about The Aviator, but haven't gotten a response, yet.

Johnny Bullis

Hi Cass. Its funny how you said Ben watched this when he was a kid.. it was definitely a different time back then.. in the 80s we were allowed to watch things that todays parents would be like heck no.. Im glad you liked this.

Clay F

If I want to download full reactions with no download link, I click on youtube to see the full reaction in youtube, and then use ClipGrab (https://clipgrab.org/) to download the youtube video as mp4. Free, relatively easy to use, and no limit on quality. You have to download and install ClipGrab but that quick and easy to do.

John Drake

"Just like Kung Fu Panda..." always a hoot Cassie!

John Cranberry

I use 4K Video Downloader. I paid for the full version, which is a one-time payment. My issue was that she uploaded The Aviator with no link. It wasn't on YT. She said she was trying this out. However, perhaps she received complaints, as most people download the reaction rather than stream it. Anyway, she went back to the YT link with Inception and Enter the Dragon, so all good.

JPDotCom23

It's interesting to note, John Saxon, who played Roper in this movie, is buried a few yards from Bruce and Brandon Lee in Seattle, Washington. Bruce Lee was his teacher.

JPDotCom23

Other Bruce Lee movies to check out include 'Fists of Fury' (Originally titled 'The Big Boss), 'The Chinese Connection' (Originally called 'Fist of Fury) and 'The Return of the Dragon' (Originally called 'The Way of the Dragon'), the latter co-starred Chuck Norris, in his movie debut. There is another movie out there called 'Game of Death', which Bruce started shooting but put on hold when he landed his first US movie; 'Enter the Dragon', he died before he could finish the movie. The movie was completed with stand-ins and unused footage of Lee, the stand-ins and unused footage are distracting but the footage he shot for the movie are very good. It's an interesting story too, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar co-starred, would've been great piece of entertainment if he was able to finish it.

Yaisu

"Okay Wolverine."

Clay F

My kids loved Kung Fu Panda (2008). Good movie.

Clay F

Ok cool -- I understand what you are saying now. I used my free Chrome extenstion "Video DownloadHelper" (http://www.downloadhelper.net/) to download The Aviator full reaction. I have that Chrome extension b/c a couple of other reactors I subscribe to upload full reactions to Patreon but not YouTube. Thus, I can go either way -- Patreon or YouTube -- whatever the reactor wants -- but I think I do prefer YouTube upload.

Old As Dirt Bert

The contrast in Cassie's facial expression between when Roper says, "A woman like that can teach a man a lot about himself" and 5 minutes or so later when that roast pig goes past helps demonstrate why her reactions are so fun.

Old As Dirt Bert

Steve McQueen was also a friend and student of Bruce Lee. He was one of the pall bearers at Bruce's funeral. The music for Enter the Dragon was done by Lalo Schifrin (who recently died) and was also composer for McQueen's '68 classic film, Bullitt.

Carlos Stevens

Good Bruce Lee Movie, but definitely not his best.

Carlos Stevens

Wait a minute! I just noticed... The voice of Mr. Han is Master Po from Kung Fu. I'm not entirely sure why they did voice overs for this movie, because they were clearly all speaking in English. Though I did hear the Bruce Lee did have a very very heavy accent, that didn't work well on the screen. Possibly why they did it.

JAKH

Umm, no, Jack Black was 4 yo when "Enter the Dragon" was released.

JAKH

Bruce Lee vs. Chuck Norris: "Way of the Dragon" (1972) Brandon Lee: "Showdown in Little Tokyo" (1991) Kung fu with afro hairstyles: "The Last Dragon" (1985) action-comedy

Walter

Rapidfire! Brandon lee in Rapidfire. I always enjoyed that one too.

Stephen Prince

I was obsessed with martial arts movies in the 80s, when I was a kid. This is a cracking film, although I'm still angry we got robbed of a Bruce Lee vs Bolo Yeung fight scene in this.
