What do you think?
Hollywood is your dream.
Your dream is about to come true.
You have no reason to reject it.
Yeah.
Frankly speaking,
although I'm always saying Hong Kong is the best place for me,
I've actually never given up my goal...
to make it in Hollywood.
I always want to prove myself.
We Chinese are just as talented as them.
Darling, then why are you hesitating?
If I went for this, I'd feel sorry for Golden Harvest.
I'd feel sorry for Mr. Xu. My success in Hong Kong
is very much due to him.
I can't leave just like that.
Why don't you have a sincere talk with him?
He might give you a better idea.
-Yeah, that makes sense. -Of course.
Bruce.
Tell me the truth. What do you think?
To be honest, it’s hard for me to decide.
So I'm here, and I'm all ears.
Bruce, you're a person of virtue.
Are you asking for my advice out of moral concern?
If that's the case, it's not necessary.
As I told you a long time ago, you're a free man.
It's not a problem whether you go or not.
Mr. Xu, when I was in the States,
I made three wishes.
First, to promote Jeet Kune Do,
and expand Chinese kung fu all around the world.
Second, to promote Chinese films in the international market,
so that a global audience can appreciate Chinese films.
And third...
I want to play leading roles in Hollywood films,
to establish the international position of Chinese actors.
Basically, I have fulfilled the first two wishes.
But the third wish...
Actually, this film is a great opportunity for me.
Bruce, I totally understand your feeling.
How about you put aside The Game of Death
and complete this collaboration with Hollywood first?
Mr. Xu... you're too nice to me.
You've captured my mind totally.
Bruce, may I ask,
how are you going to work with the Hollywood filmmaker?
As a leading actor, of course.
Would you like to hear my opinion?
I came here to listen to you.
Bruce,
you're now not only a kung fu star with a great box office record,
-but also a partner of Golden Harvest. -So?
A Hollywood filmmaker wants to collaborate with you.
Why don't you work with them representing Golden Harvest?
Work with them representing Golden Harvest?
That's right.
Then, I'm not only their contracted actor but also a partner.
By doing that, you can also share the profit with them.
That's right. Why didn't I think of that?
This way...
I can fulfill my dream of entering Hollywood market
without having to leave Golden Harvest.
More importantly, I, Bruce Lee, will be treated fairly in Hollywood.
Isn't that great?
Come on, Bruce, let's celebrate.
That'll be great! Wonderful!
No, no, no. This is impossible.
Why?
As far as I know, this would be unprecedented in Hollywood.
There's never been a Chinese in the leading role either.
So, tell me, what is it about me? I'll be the pioneer.
Bruce...
You're famous and wealthy now,
but you shouldn't be too greedy.
Now that you have money, you can't ask for too much.
George, it looks like there's no need to continue our discussion.
Bruce, you'd better be clear.
I'm representing William now. William's highly regarded in Hollywood.
If you want to be on equal terms in Hollywood, then you're too naive.
I don't care who William is and I don't care about Hollywood rules.
I'm now representing Golden Harvest
in co-producing this film with your organization.
This is the premise of our collaboration. No discussion without this premise.
Okay. That's a huge problem.
-I'll have to report it. -You may use my phone.
Do you know that it’s midnight now in Los Angeles?
I'll ring them from my hotel.
Bye.
ENTER...
Why did you change the title of the film?
They'll have to use this title.
This is one of my conditions.
No changes allowed. That's what I'm worth now.
I guess your price is too high.
Not really. The price I'm asking from William is actually quite low.
George represents Hollywood.
So what?
When I first went to Hollywood,
I was worth nothing.
But now, I must...
lower my price for Hollywood.
I don't think they'll accept it.
I read the script.
There's no better choice than me for the leading role.
Other than me, Bruce Lee,
they have no other choice.
Don't believe it? Just wait and see.
ENTER THE DRAGON
That Bruce Lee is so unreasonable.
Operator, operator.
Please connect my call to the United States.
William, William, hurry up. Pick up.
William, it's me. It's me.
All right, all right, got it.
Okay, I'll do as you said.
Okay, okay.
Bye. That's it. Bye.
Wait a second.
My dear William, I must tell you this, really.
You're great.
That's right.
Bruce, could it be...
Let me talk to him.
Hello, Bruce.
Hey, George.
George, your boss must have rejected my conditions. Am I right?
Bruce, Hollywood is Hollywood.
My boss's heart is big enough to hold up the whole world.
This is the first time I've heard you compliment your boss.
What, did he resolve your problem?
Unexpectedly, my boss accepted all of your conditions.
That's good. I'm not surprised.
For the Americans,
profit always comes above personal feelings.
Your boss clearly knows what our collaboration
will mean to both sides.
Straight to the box office, am I right?
So, the premise is not a problem. We'll discuss the details tomorrow.
Sure. As for the particulars,
Mr. Xu Wenhuai, chairman of Golden Harvest,
will discuss this matter with you personally.
Hey, George.
There are no more obstacles between us now.
I'd like to say something from the heart.
Now that I can work on equal terms with a Hollywood filmmaker,
I feel great.
You smart ass! You can blow your own trumpet now.
Wait.
I have another condition.
What is it?
I want to change the film title. I've thought of it already.
The original title is Blood and Steel.
It's very obscure.
And your idea?
Enter the Dragon.
Must you link the title with your Chinese name?
Isn't it a good title?
You're asking too much.
However, we can still accept it. No problem. That's the deal.
Bye.
Linda.
We made it.
Sweetie.
Action!
Stop. Wait a second.
That was too fast.
We have to be slower on this move.
Move the camera slowly. It was too fast just now.
Also, for each and every punch,
we must have close-up shots.
These moves must be shot at close range.
-We must have close-up shots. -Okay, got it.
-Guys, remember that. -You got it?
-Okay? Understand? -Let's do it again.
Do as Director Bruce say. Understand?
-Okay. -Good.
Guys, remember. We'll shoot from here.
Pay attention to the focus.
Okay! Get ready!
-Everybody, get ready! -Lighting, okay!
-Is every department ready? -Sound, okay!
-All right! Good! -Prepare.
One, two, three, and roll.
Cut! That was great. Good!
Bruce, that's wonderful.
-Let's go over. -Bruce, you're fantastic.
Bruce, those movements were totally unimaginable.
-Darling. -Bruce, you're awesome.
-Everyone did a great job. Great! -Fabulous.
-Good. -How was it, Director?
-Good. -It was great.
-We'll stop here. -Take a break.
-Bruce! -Bruce, what's wrong?
What's wrong with him? Director?
Bruce! Hurry! Call the ambulance.
Bruce!
Bruce, Bruce!
Bruce, wake up.
My dear.
Wake up, please!
Bruce.
You're awake.
Linda, what happened to me?
Nothing, darling. You just slept for a while.
Sweetie, did I scare you?
Of course! You're such a pain in the neck!
Bruce, you look fabulous.
George, did we finish the last shot?
Yes, we did. You've created a legend.
Tell me, are you satisfied?
It couldn't be better. You're a genius.
I've finally fulfilled my third wish.
You look weak. You need a good rest.
We should be leaving. Let him take a good rest.
-Let's go, Linda. -Go to sleep, Bruce.
Come on.
Let's go.
Linda, has this ever happened to Bruce before?
He has intermittent headaches, but has never passed out for so long.
I see.
You should get him a thorough checkup in the States.
I know. I think so too.
But Bruce said he must finish this film
before returning to the States to recuperate.
Yeah. Bruce works really hard for his kung fu and his career.
-He needs a good rest. -He's always like that.
He's exhausted.
Let's go, Linda.
Linda, I came as soon as I heard the news.
-How's Bruce? -Mr. Xu, he's awake.
-You can go in. -Okay, okay.
-I'll get going. -Okay, I know.
Bruce, are you all right?
No problem. I just experienced the feeling of death.
It was like The Game of Death.
What are you talking about?
You're only 32 years old.
How can you think of death?
I know. I'm fine. I was just over-tired.
After Enter the Dragon, I want to continue filming The Game of Death.
It's not you who decides whether you're sick or not.
We have to wait for the examination results.
Moreover, now isn't the time to fret about The Game of Death.
You should focus on your recovery.
I said I'm fine.
Linda, I'll go and see the director of the hospital.
I'll ask them for the best doctor
and the best equipment to give him a thorough checkup.
-Okay, thank you. -No, thanks.
You can't tell me whether you need it or not.
That's that.
Darling, please take care of yourself.
Understand?
The X-ray shows that his brain is normal.
Then what made him pass out for hours?
This is the best we can do. He must get a thorough checkup elsewhere.
Basically, we can be sure that...
the four to five hours of unconsciousness must have been caused by his brain.
What is your suggestion to the patient?
Get a thorough checkup from a better hospital.
-Mr. Xu. -Hello.
We suggest transferring him to a better hospital
for an advanced brain examination.
When can we transfer him?
Any time.
Okay, we'll arrange it right away.
-Please. -Okay.
Where is he?
Taxi!
-Wait here. I'll get the money for you. -No, no. Mr. Lee,
it's my honor to have you as my passenger. I can't take your money.
You can take any taxi in Hong Kong. No one will take your money.
No, no. How could you not take my money?
Sorry. May I ask...
You came back from the hospital. Were you sick?
No, no. I went to visit a friend.
That's right. When I heard that Bruce Lee might be sick,
I was thinking, no knives or guns can hurt Bruce Lee.
How could he be ill?
Goodbye. Goodbye.
Pick up the phone! Pick up the phone!
Hello.
No, baby. Let Mommy answer it.
-Hello. -Hello, is this Linda?
-Yes. -Is Bruce home?
Isn't Bruce at the hospital?
He ran away.
I guessed he must have gone home.
He's not at home.
Linda.
-Brandon. -Daddy, hold me.
-Let Daddy hold you. -Hug me.
He's back. He just came in.
Please send him here right away.
The hospital suggested to transfer him to a better hospital
for a more advanced brain examination.
What did you say?
Transfer to a better hospital for an advanced brain examination?
Okay.
I see. I'll send him back.
Mr. Xu, I'm telling you,
I'm not going anywhere. Bye-bye.
Darling, you can't do this.
Don't tell the kids, okay?
My little Shannon. Come here. Let Daddy hold you.
You're flying!
Kids, I haven't trained you guys in Jeet Kune Do for quite some time.
Let's go. I'll make up for it.
Mr. Xu, don't be so anxious.
The doctors are exaggerating.
We shouldn't believe everything they say.
Bruce, you must get a full exam.
You have to be responsible, for yourself as well as for Linda...
and your children.
-After I finish The Game of Death-- -Just listen to Linda.
How about you get a thorough exam in the States?
At least...
get a proper examination at the Elizabeth Hospital.
Before we get the results of your exam,
I won't permit filming of The Game of Death.
-No, no. -Baby, please behave.
Bruce, you were unconscious for a few hours, this time.
The doctor suggested you get a thorough checkup.
This is a normal procedure. Why don't you agree to it?
What's with this brain checkup?
I'll know well enough if there's problem with my brain.
Say no more. Just listen to me.
You have intermittent headaches.
This time, you passed out all of a sudden.
Do you know the reason?
I guess I was too tired.
Nothing else. Don’t worry.
Let's go.
Please wait a moment, Mr. Xu. I'll talk to him again.
-Make yourself at home. -Okay.
Bruce, have an apple.
No, thanks.
Are you feeling better?
Bruce, rest well. I'll go home and take care of the kids.
Okay, but don't tell Mother. Don't tell anybody about this.
Remember what I said. Keep this a secret.
I know.
See you.
I'll get going.
Bruce Lee!
I've seen the reports.
-The problem is... -But, you know what I mean...
Sorry, Doctor.
Mr. Lee, anything wrong?
Sorry, Doctor.
I didn't come here as a patient with a serious illness.
I just came for a medical checkup.
I've been hospitalized for a week.
Why isn't there any news yet?
Mr. Lee.
We're studying your case very carefully.
And the results?
Some of them will be ready by tomorrow.
But what I can tell you is...
from the reports I have at the moment,
you have very serious endocrine disorder.
Physical strain could be a factor.
Emotional stress could be another.
But these are not the most important factors.
What is it then?
We'll have to wait for the other reports
before we can reach a conclusion.
What's your estimation?
You're 32, aren’t you?
What do you mean?
It's hard for us to believe that
there isn't any fat in your body.
Your body is like a piece of steel.
Doctor, whatever it is,
you can be frank with me.
Once all the scan reports are ready,
I'll let you know the result.
Medical science is not based on speculation.
Until I get all of the reports,
this is all I can say for now.
I'm in a terrible state, am I not?
I'm sorry. You should get some rest now.
See you tomorrow. Good night.
QUEEN ELIZABETH HOSPITAL X-RAY REPORT
-Is this what you mentioned earlier? -Yes.
Son, this is how a plane takes off.
It's flying!
-Mom! -Come and catch me.
You can't get me! You can't!
Come on. Here.
Shannon, Mommy will play with you, all right?
Hi, Linda.
My dear, you're back.
Shannon just gets more and more beautiful.
-Brandon. -Daddy!
-Did you miss Daddy? -Yes! Daddy, teach me kung fu.
Sure, I'll teach you Jeet Kune Do.
Daddy's teaching me Jeet Kune Do.
-Brandon, don't disturb Daddy. -Stand up.
-Let Daddy come inside first. -Come on.
Son, let's go. Let's go in.
Linda, what's wrong with you?
Darling, I don't understand.
Why couldn't the hospital find the cause of your illness?
We should get a checkup in the States.
Why? I'm fine. You want to find something wrong?
The doctor said my body is like a piece of steel.
I was just exhausted on those days.
Bruce, you must promise me you won't exhaust yourself like this anymore, okay?
Linda, before this, I was only thinking of work.
Nothing else.
I sort of neglected you and our kids.
But from now on,
I'm not going to be like this anymore.
The doctor told me...
I have an illness called amnesia.
The causes could be exhaustion,
physical strain, and emotional stress. It's not a deadly disease.
-Really? -Linda.
Don't look at me like that.
I didn't hide anything from you.
Really?
Linda, please.
Anyway, it seems like I've brushed past death.
Several times.
Only someone like me,
who has experienced death,
can truly understand
what is most important in life.
Most important?
-What is it? -Family, of course.
A happy family.
That's right.
When I was in the hospital,
did Yellow Brat call?
The phone's always ringing. I didn't take any calls.
What if there was something important?
Your health is the most important thing.
All right. Linda, I'll answer it.
Hello.
A Lin, what's up?
Bruce.
What happened?
What's wrong?
IP RESIDENCE'S FUNERAL
LIVED LONG AND PROPERLY HIS GRACE AND SPIRIT FOREVER REMAIN
Why did you leave just like that?
Master.
As per your instruction, this kid has kept up till the end.
Why do you want to learn martial arts? What is your goal?
As a martial artist, the most important thing is...
your mind must be as calm as water.
Do you understand, kid?
Why did our Master leave?
Why didn't you inform me?
Did he leave a message?
If only you didn't betray our Master--
Shut up.
