Bruce Lee - the best martial artist ever...

Enter the Dragon is his best movie:


My favorite scene: The Art of Fighting Without Fighting....

Here's where Bruce is avenging his sister's death against the boss's personal security body guard..

I love the guard scene where he takes on all the guards by himself...

However honorable mention to the dojo fight from Chinese Connection:

And the ice factory scenes from The Big Boss:

And an interesting edit of Bruce Lee fighting Kareem Abdul-Jabbar from the Game of Death.

*History note - Bruce Lee taught Kareem Abdul-Jabbar martial arts. He also taught Steve McQueen. Steve wanted to be a karate master like Bruce Lee, and Bruce wanted to be a movie star and stunt guy like Steve McQueen....

Another Game of Death scene with Bruce Lee vs Dan Inosanto. Dan was chosen to carry on and teach Jeet-Kune-Do by Bruce in his absence (Bruce invented his own style of martial arts called Jeet-Kune-Do. It focused on reacting to the broken rhythm of real life without predictable rehearsed traditional routines. Don't limit yourself to one style, use whatever works.)...

Bruce died before the Game of Death was finished, so they got a "body double" to fill in for him and then took camera angles as to try to hide that it wasn't really Bruce. It is not very good and it doesn't flow as well because it's obvious to any Bruce Lee fan that it is not really him.... But it was nice to be able to see the actual footage with Bruce Lee that was shot before his death.


If it wasn't for Bruce Lee's fighting ability and movie influence, fight scenes wouldn't be what they are today...


He died way too early. After he played Kato on The Green Hornet, he couldn't get the Hollywood producers to film him, so he went to China to film his first three movies that were big successes. Then Warner Bros finally backed him for Enter the Dragon, and he died during filming of his next movie the Game of Death. Just when he was starting to get success in Hollywood, we lost him. Who knows what more he could have done if he hadn't died so young...
 
A Gathering of Eagles...the most authentic cold war Air Force movie ever made.

That really was a great film. It was filmed in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Santa Monica, Long Beach and the Palos Verdes Peninsula. I know this because I have grown up in SoCal and been to all those site many many many many many times! It sure doesn't look like that now! Even my wife was glued to the TV when I was watching that movie two weeks ago. She was amazed at the stunts.

Racing movie. Lemans. I know it was mentioned earlier but that crash scene with the #17 Porsche of Paul Delaney shown in full speed and then slow motion was intense. Throttle wide open the whole time.

could say much the same about Brandon (I think after The Crow he was going to be huge).

Me too! I watched it again two years ago and I had to stop halfway thru because my sides were aching from laughing so hard! I can't believe someone else picked this movie too!:blob:

I liked The Blob (original 1958 )version. I used to work for RCA in Camden NJ and discovered that one of my friends there did the soundtrack recordings for the movie! I watched it again and sure enough, his name was in the credits. The movie is totally hokey compared to today's standards of green screen and CG, but when I was a kid, it scared the hell out of me.
A drive-in favorite, this sci-fi classic follows teenagers Steve (Steven McQueen) and his best girl, Jane (Aneta Corseaut), as they try to protect their hometown from a gelatinous alien life form that engulfs everything it touches. The first to discover the substance and live to tell about it, Steve and Jane witness the blob destroying an elderly man and grow to a terrifying size. But no one else has seen the goo, and policeman Dave (Earl Rowe) refuses to believe the kids without proof.
