Linda’s worried.
She'd like to get some advice from you guys.
I didn't regard that brat so highly.
Linda learned how to serve kung fu tea.
Let's have some.
Didn't that brat's master, Wang Yunsheng, kneel down to you?
He admitted his fault to you.
Yes, he did. There's a story behind it.
You guys might not know that Yellow Brat was Wang's last student,
and also his adopted son.
In the early years, Wang sent him
to a top Hong Kong gangster whose name was Wang Lichao.
Then this brat learned his insidious tactics from Wang Lichao.
The reason I left Hong Kong for the States
was that I'd severely beaten up Wang Lichao.
I almost killed someone.
Later, after I came to the States, this brat plotted against me.
Although Wang Yunsheng did apologize to me,
he didn't expel this brat from his school.
After the death of Wang Yunsheng,
this Yellow Brat, his last student
became the successor of Wang's martial arts school.
He's been calling from time to time to disturb me,
and even spreading rumors to the media calling me a coward.
He’s very arrogant.
If he’s really such a thug,
we should teach him a lesson.
You're right.
Linda's so worried that she asked for your help.
Actually, I don't think this brat
is worthy of our time and energy.
I'd rather talk with you about the filming of Game of Death.
I think that we should add some martial arts ideology in the movie,
so that moviegoers will understand the true meaning
of Chinese kung fu.
What do you think?
-All right, Bruce. -We've finally finished. Okay.
Hi, guys, let's hurry up and shoot.
-We're trying to finish shooting earlier. -That's okay.
-Okay. Go. -Professor, you're soaked.
Here. Let me help you.
All right.
No problem. Let's do it again.
What are you doing?
I'm preparing for the next film.
You should take a break.
I have to write down my inspiration.
-They're here. -Bruce.
-See you, darling. -See you.
-Come home early. -See you.
Bruce, there are four shooting locations today.
Where should we go first?
-A Lin, we'll talk in the car. -All right.
Are you Bruce Lee? Why don't you speak?
Do you remember tomorrow's appointment?
Don't forget.
Bruce Lee, you're supposed to be a man of words.
I'll remember that for my husband.
I'll see how my husband knocks you down.
You just wait and see.
Gentlemen, what's your opinion?
You're really skillful.
Your build is stronger than Bruce Lee's.
But this won't guarantee you success in defeating Bruce Lee.
Master, you're flattering Bruce Lee
and looking down on me.
If you want to defeat Bruce Lee,
I have a trick for you.
A trick?
What is it?
Don't you hike every day?
Yes, I do. I go hiking five rounds per day.
I can see from your fighting style
that your physique and endurance are quite good.
After several rounds of performing, you still look fine and breathe normally.
Obviously, you have outstanding endurance.
Of course. I practice hard
in order to defeat Bruce Lee.
However, the venue for competition is also important.
Since he's agreed to fight with you,
we'd better discuss that.
All right, I'll listen to you.
THE GAME OF DEATH
Hi, Bruce.
I've rearranged your schedule for tomorrow and the day after.
Okay.
You have the fight with that thug tomorrow morning.
There'll be no activities in the afternoon so that you can rest.
There'll be a discussion with
Prof. Inosanto and Kimura the day after tomorrow.
At 11:00 a.m. you'll check film samples and meet A Lin for editing.
At noon, you'll discuss advertising and sponsorship with the racecourse boss.
No... Linda. Don't change my schedule.
You've arranged too many things for the day after tomorrow.
I won't have enough time.
Tomorrow afternoon, we'll do whatever we're supposed to do.
But, darling, after this shitty fight, will you still have energy to do anything?
No problem.
All right. That's it.
Okay.
Bruce Lee!
Finally, we meet again.
Long time no see. You still look the same.
You're cocky as usual.
It looks like your kung fu has improved.
But I'm not sure if you've made progress ethically.
I didn't defeat you last time in America.
I've regretted this for many years.
Today,
we will decide who's the winner.
Wait.
I have a suggestion before we start.
We'll fight for a round.
In one round,
If you can't defeat me, we'll stop the fight.
You go home and I go home.
Live and let live.
No one will lose face.
If you can't defeat me in one round
-and still want to keep fighting-- -Shut up!
If you're capable, speak to me with your kung fu.
You've lost.
You're doomed to lose this fight.
You're too eager to win.
You're too eager to defeat me.
You've lost in the sense of mentality.
Shut up!
I wouldn't be here if I was afraid to die.
I'm ready.
Let's stop here.
It's not a bad thing to stop at the right time.
How was it?
Talking about speed, I'm faster.
Talking about kicking, I'm tougher.
I mentioned this long ago. Kung fu takes more practice...
than just talking.
Don't speak like a master in front of me.
Shut up!
Sign it.
Sign it?
You don't have to.
But you have to admit your failure and bow to me
in front of these people.
This tricky Yellow Brat!
-You dare not sign it? -I will.
AFFIANT BRUCE LEE, YELLOW BRAT
AFFIANT YELLOW BRAT, BRUCE LEE
Today, you're doomed to lose.
Why don't you say stop?
Stop, stop! Stop, stop!
Bruce Lee, you won!
Yellow Brat.
Didn't you ask me what fighting style this is?
I'll tell you. This is Chinese martial arts.
Jeet Kune Do.
Linda.
Do you notice any problem with my body?
Why did you get up so early today?
Linda,
I have to discuss something with Mr. Xu.
I'd like you to make breakfast for me.
Didn't you learn from Mom how to prepare Foshan Dim Sum?
I've loved it since I was little.
Can you make it for me now?
All right, I'll do that for you.
BRUCE LEE DEFEATED YELLOW BRAT!
Xiaoman,
when did you find yourself such a paradise?
Only you find it strange.
Everyone in the Hong Kong film industry knows about this place.
You seem to have forgotten that I'm an international superstar.
Yeah.
You're the international superstar who doesn't know my place.
Many famous filmmakers from Hong Kong and Taiwan
have come here to discuss screenplays and casting.
It's so wonderful here. It's amazing.
Xiaoman,
if I'd known you had such a place, I wouldn't have gone elsewhere.
I'd come every day to have a cup of tea and talk about production.
Of course, I'd like to have you here every day.
Also, I'll treat you as a special guest and save you the best place.
I'm so ignorant.
I like it here.
This place is wonderful. Graceful and serene.
The sound of mountain spring and music, the view of bamboos and orchids,
it's like living in a fairy tale.
I don't have any other hobbies.
I threw all my money into this property.
Although I have mountain springs and music,
bamboos and orchids,
I have only myself to enjoy them with.
If that's the case, it sounds rather peaceful.
In life, one wrong step could lead to a sequence of mistakes.
If I'd gone to America with you, what would things be like now?
If I didn't go to Taiwan and get married,
what would my life be like?
All right, let's stop here.
-I'll show you around. -Good.
Mr. Xu must be anxiously waiting inside.
-Why didn't you tell me earlier? -I wanted to talk to you.
Brandon, don't eat yet.
We'll wait for Daddy.
-You guys may go and play for a while. -Daddy! Daddy!
-When is Daddy coming home? -Baby, be good.
You can play for a while. He'll be back soon.
I want to eat.
Go and play with the big car.
I want to eat!
It's perfect.
This is spiritual.
Bruce, next time you shoot a movie, you should include a Chinese tea ceremony.
People in the past said, "Tea and Zen taste the same".
This is what that means.
As long as I get enough funding from Hollywood
and from you, Mr. Xu,
I can showcase Chinese culture to the world.
You won't be short of funding in the future.
Lately, I received some letters of intention for funding.
Even big-shots from Hollywood
are showing concern for us.
Looks like they've finally realized.
Bruce, I've seen your sample of The Game of Death.
What do you think?
It's great.
Come on. Let's try some great tea.
We'll discuss the distribution issue
of The Game of Death in the American market.
All right.
I've come up with the title of my next film.
It'll be called Xifeng.
I want to transform superficial kung fu
into a deeper ideology.
Kung fu is only a way of expressing my understanding of Chinese culture.
For example,
I criticize those hypocrites...
who enjoy talking off-hand...
about people's livelihoods and national security.
In the end, how many innocent people have died due to war and poverty?
These so-called founders of a nation were just a selfish vested-interest group.
So I want to create a story of two brothers who practice kung fu.
The big brother is a civilian, while the other lives in the palace.
Both of them are high-skilled masters.
The Emperor
wants to send this younger brother, Xifeng, to suppress insurgency.
In fact, his intention is to send this martial artist
to infiltrate a group of protesters and destroy them for the Emperor's sake.
The head of the protesters is the older brother of Xifeng.
You know what?
I'll play both of the brothers.
On his way there, Xifeng looks around.
All he sees are those rampant, greedy officials.
The civilians can hardly survive.
So, what do you think Xifeng is supposed to do?
What do you think?
What you need now is to have a good rest.
Leave the concerns of the people and nation to the Emperor.
You should come over more often to have a good chat over tea.
Don't worry about things that are beyond your control.
All right, Bruce.
I guess Xifeng must have overthrown the Emperor
with his brother, am I right?
Not really.
Why?
One of them is doomed to die.
-One will die? -Who will it be?
Tell me.
I've thought of it.
-What's up, Bruce? -Bruce!
-Bruce, are you okay? -What's wrong?
I'm okay. Maybe I didn't sleep well last night.
I feel a little dizzy.
-Should we go to the hospital? -No. I'm just tired.
I'll lie down on the couch.
-You guys continue. I'll be listening. -Do you need some medicine?
Do you have painkillers?
Will that work?
-I think so. -Wait for me.
-Come on, Bruce. Come on. -Okay.
Come. Lie down. Come here.
Bruce, why don't you take the pill?
Bruce.
Bruce, have some water.
Bruce.
I don't need water.
This pill works better when it dissolves in your mouth.
Don't worry about me.
I'm okay. You guys go ahead.
Have some rest.
-Are you really all right? -I'll be fine. Go.
A Lin, I need you to find Bruce.
I called everywhere I can think of.
He isn't at his parents' place. Neither his brother’s nor sister's.
Mr. Xu's not in the office either. I can't find Bruce.
Don't worry, Mrs. Lee. I'll look for him.
I know where he is.
Great. Thank you so much, A Lin.
Brandon, Shannon, let's have dinner first.
Come on. Hurry up.
We won't wait for Daddy.
-I’ll wait for Daddy. -We'll eat first, Baby.
Come on.
It’s time for dinner.
-Come over, Brandon. -We'll wait for Daddy.
I'll reheat the soup.
Daddy will be back soon.
Let's have a nice, hot dinner.
Daddy is coming home. Daddy is coming home.
You can't go inside.
-Get out of my way -I said you can't enter.
Okay, okay.
You can't go inside.
-Get out of my way -I said you can't enter.
Okay, okay. No, you can't enter.
Bruce.
Bruce! Bruce!
Bruce, you're such a naughty boy.
-Prepare some champagne. -Sure.
Perfect.
Sir.
I'm sure today's champagne
will be the greatest one.
We've made a new box office record.
The only thing regretful is that
the creator of this new film genre,
who's also our partner,
the screen writer, director, actor,
and co-executive producer of this film, Bruce Lee, is not here.
I'll call him later on.
I'll let him hear how wonderful it is,
the sound of champagne popping.
To our success,
to our box office record,
cheers!
-Cheers! -George, you came at the right time.
We just watched Enter the Dragon.
Everybody agrees that this will be a worldwide kung fu hit.
Bruce Lee is no doubt the first Asian superstar in Hollywood.
George, what's wrong? Say something.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't want to disturb your screening.
Bruce Lee just passed away. It's such a tragedy.
It was on July 20th.
That's terrible.
What happened?
I've made many mistakes in my life.
But I'll be ashamed of this mistake for the rest of my life.
I shouldn't have ignored this genius, this great artist.
I dare say that from now on, Chinese kung fu cinema
will become a human language that's beyond borders.
How sad!
An era, yet to begin, has just passed.
INTERNATIONAL KUNG FU SUPERSTAR PASSED AWAY LAST NIGHT
AT 11:30 P.M. LAST NIGHT BRUCE LEE DIED FROM ILLNESS
Bruce Lee, Bruce Lee, Bruce Lee...
Don't wake him up.
THE FALL OF A STAR THE PASSING OF A WISE MAN
HERO BRUCE LEE
USING NO WAY AS A WAY, NO LIMITATION AS A LIMITATION
The 32 years of Bruce Lee's life
are a journey filled with extraordinary vitality.
Bruce Lee opened two brand-new fields for us.
He contributed both his beautiful martial arts and his everlasting films.
Since then, the world has experienced authentic Chinese kung fu.
Chinese kung fu has amazed the world through Bruce Lee's films.
Chinese kung fu cinema has opened a new chapter
because of Bruce Lee's contribution.
We believe, deep in our hearts, that spirit is the pillar of being human.
The day of death is also a time of coming back to life.
Because the spirit won't die.
May God bless Bruce Lee and protect his soul.
Amen.
