The final round of this
year's karate competition will begin now.

Please welcome Mr. Bruce Lee
from Oakland

with a big round of applause.

Let us present to you

the champion of the last competition,
Rolex.

Please give him a round of applause.

This Chinese man is small and thin
compared to Rolex.

-How can he compete?
-You just wait and see, Mr. Harrison.

I've studied Bruce Lee.

I've noticed this Chinese man
when he defeated Hoffman in California.

I think Bruce Lee and Rolex
are actually equal.

What? You say they are equal?

Sure they are.

After the game starts,
you'll find out.

It looks like I have to bet on this.

All right, you just wait and see.

All right.

Begin.

Not bad. That was great.

This Chinese man is sharp.

So, am I right?

I told you.

They are equal.

It looks like I've misjudged him.

-Certainly.
-I should've watched this at the stadium.

I told you to.

Mr. Harrison,
how many times I've told you?

Do you remember?
I'm sure you'll believe me this time.

I thought you bought me
the tickets to the competition

to select some actors for Hollywood.

You like him
because he is a skilled fighter.

But I want to turn him into a superstar.

Okay. The next round will begin soon.

Good. Keep on watching.

Calm down. You must calm down.

Get up!

You can do it!

You can do it!

Good! That's right!
Attack him, attack him.

Bruce, calm down.

You must be calm.

Bruce, remember!

-Sir, quiet, please.
-I'm sorry.

Good, just like that.

A beautiful kick.

That's great!

Good! That's right!

Good.

Come on!

Bruce! Your triple kicks! Triple kicks!

One, two and three!

End.

How are you? Are you okay?
Can you get up?

Good!

I am a Chinese!

I am a Chinese!

I love you.

I am a Chinese.

I love Chinese!

Bruce Lee! Bruce Lee! Bruce Lee!

Bruce Lee! Bruce Lee! Bruce Lee!

Mr. Rolex, please tell us
how do you feel about this match?

-Please.
-It's my nightmare in career.

I don't understand how did Bruce Lee
strike directly at my punch.

Also, whenever my fists hit into his palm,
it turned powerless all of a sudden.

I believe he didn't use full strength
on his triple kicks.

-That was amazing.
-Yes.

He had no intention of hurting me.

Or else, I wouldn't be here
for interviews.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

A young man from China has changed
the American martial arts history.

Our journalists and the authorities
in martial arts community

couldn't figure out who is this young man.
Bruce Lee has showed us

- the mysterious power of Chinese kung fu.
-Okay, that's it for today.

-Let's go, guys.
-That's the conclusion of today's match.

That's great! It's amazing!

Mr. Harrison seems quite
unsatisfied today.

What are you thinking?

I regretted it.

I...

I should've watched it live
in the stadium.

We should pay this Chinese man a visit.

No, we should call Bruce Lee
a Chinese hero.

We should pay him a visit.

Okay, Mr. Harrison. I got an idea, too.

We'll need heroes like him in Hollywood.

George.

I have to admit that you
are indeed a good businessman.

I'm a good filmmaker.

You'd better arrange a competition show.

Wonderful!

I'll do a good job, Mr. Harrison.

What did I say? A hero.

My master is a true American hero.

Bruce, why did you keep quiet when
the journalist was interviewing you?

I said it already.
I am a Chinese. That's enough.

He's proved it already.

Do we have to say anything else?

Bruce, what's your plan after this?

I have two things in mind.

First, get a bigger place
for my martial arts school.

Then shall we increase
the tuition as well?

Certainly.

Bruce, what is the second thing?

The second thing...

I haven't decided yet.
I'll tell you once I made up my mind.

Bruce, stop pretending.

He's not.

Bruce has proved himself with his action.

He declared to the Americans,
"Don't look down on the Chinese".

That's more than enough.

Bruce, during the final moment
in the fight against Rolex,

it looked like you used your palm
against his fist.

But you were too fast,
I couldn't see clearly.

That's right. I did use my palm.

I've been practicing
this skill for months.

Several months?
No wonder I haven't seen it.

It's really powerful.

Theoretically,
under normal circumstance,

when your opponent is punching at you,

you would either counter-fight
with your elbow,

or defend by dodging it.

I've never seen someone
punch towards a punch.

Look, if your fist hits my palm,

this is how it'll look.

If you use your strength,
there won't be any left.

This technique is quite tricky actually.

Come on. Let's take a look.

If your fist hits here, its strength
will be diverted by my palm.

If you hit the upper of my palm,

-then my joint--
-Will dissolve the strength of the punch.

That's good.

Meanwhile, there are many
alternatives techniques for the palm

that'll make
the opponent unable to defend.

Let's look at it again. Fist, elbow.
Also, use all of your arm's strength.

This is a very powerful strength.

But Bruce used his palm
to receive the punch.

It is like borrowing the strength
by a lever.

So I guess this "borrowed power"
is effective in fight.

You're indeed a professor.
Your study is profound and theoretical.

I remember
an old Chinese saying that goes,

-"A man with good skills is brave."
-That's right.

You can only achieve that when you have
had a sound martial arts foundation.

You're flattering me.

Bruce Lee.

Hello, Mr. Lee.

-Congratulations.
-Hello.

We've been waiting for you.

-All right, I'll leave it to both of you.
-George would like to see you.

-Who?
-What? You've never heard of him?

He's a famous producer in Hollywood.

George who?

You'd better meet with him.

He's waiting for you upstairs.

Uncle Shao.

You should go. Go see him.

Okay.

Let's go.

It's not bad news if someone
from Hollywood wants to see him.

Let's wait for the good news.

Let me introduce you.
This is George from Hollywood.

Mr. Lee, you may not know,

I am a film producer from Hollywood.

I've been watching you for a long time.

What can I do for you?

If you allow me, I'd like to record
your performance on film.

Why?

I saw the competition that you won
on television

and I'm truly impressed
with your kung fu.

You were too fast at the game.

I want the other players
to see your competition clearly.

Mr. Lee, the committee of the competition
had the same request actually.

They're hoping that you could
perform again once more.

Of course, they will pay
for your performance.

I can guarantee that.
You don't have to worry.

How much?
I'm interested in money now.

Two thousand dollars.

The money will be sponsored by George.

You know, George actually
has some other ideas.

What kind of ideas?

I know, Mr. Lee, you may think
by doing this,

we will expose
your secret skills to the public.

But my purpose
is to truly understand your kung fu.

Maybe we can work together
in some other field.

I mean, let the audience see it.

You mean movie?

Yes.

I think you may have a chance
to show your talent in Hollywood.

The whole world will get the chance
to see your talent.

This is not a bad idea.

You've persuaded me.

That's great. Mr. Lee.

Then we've made a deal.

All right, I'll listen to you.

That's great.

Let's have a cup of coffee to celebrate.

-Sounds good.
-Let's go.

It's crowded today.

-Are you ready?
-I never need any special preparation.

I'm performing real kung fu.
It's not a fake game.

Kimura.

Hit me with your real skills later.
Don't hold back.

-Attack me with full strength.
-I understand.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Let's welcome our new champion
of American Karate Competition,

from Oakland, California,
Mr. Bruce Lee.

Mr. Lee, please.

Mr. Lee will be showing us

a Chinese kung fu that he created
called "Jeet Kune Do".

Let us welcome, Bruce Lee.

I have another good news for you.

Mr. Harrison, the Boxing King,
is also here with us today.

Your unique technique is a special one
in Chinese kung fu.

Tell me. How could you punch
while your opponent is punching?

You're even faster
than your opponent who punches first.

The moment your palm hits
your opponent's fist,

you add a twist-wrist move.

-That's really--
-Uncle Shao, that's a very solid skill.

-That's amazing.
-That's amazing.

Master Lee.

Professor Inosando,
you don't have to be too humble.

Master Lee.

You know I am sincere to say this.

Your boxing style has changed
all the theories of boxing.

It looks like
I have to rewrite my boxing curriculum.

I feel embarrassed.
I've been a teacher for many years.

I don't seem to be doing a good job.

Professor Inosanto,
you're being too humble.

Come over. Have a seat.

If you like,

I'll tell you about all I know.

I'm also thinking of...

exchanging nunchaku skill with you.

May I?

Master Lee, I'll accept your request
without hesitation.

I really appreciate it.

-Uncle Shao, look.
-Master Lee.

Oh, Uncle Shao.

-Uncle Shao. Professor.
-Kimura.

-Bruce.
-Kimura.

Do you know how the newspapers
describe your fight with Rolex?

Your name is in the papers every day.

Also, a TV station wants to interview you.

Please tell them
that I don't want to be interviewed.

I want to forget this.

It's over.

I'm just doing what I have to.

Right?

What should I tell the reporters?

Just tell them
that I don't want to see anyone.

All right?

Have you found a new place
for our martial arts school?

Yes, I found one.
Big enough to hold 400 people.

That's good. Take me there.

Here we are.

Kimura, let's move here right away.

Okay.

Bruce.

The Taekwondo genius is here.

-Bruce.
-Mr. Piao, what can I do for you?

I've heard
that you want to rent this place.

I'm here to take a look.

-You want to rent it as well?
-No.

I'm here to congratulate you...

for winning the champion.

I almost forgot it.

Oh, yes, I want to say sorry to you.

Sorry? Why are you saying that?
You did nothing wrong to me.

Do you despise me?

Who doesn't want to be the champion?

Who doesn't want to make
his countrymen proud of him?

What? Did I disappoint you?

Don't say that.

My competition with Rolex is not over.
We don't know who's going to win.

You've taught me the essence
of your Jeet Kune Do.

But I am not frank enough.

I held back something.

Today, I'd like to teach you
all the key techniques of Taekwondo.

That's great.
Wonderful. Come on.

Sir, please have a seat.

-Sir, water for you.
-Thanks.

Please enjoy.

-Please bring me some ice.
-Just a minute.

Here's 20 dollars.

I'll bring you the ice holder later.

Come on, students. Let's begin.

Master Lee, tell us about the competition.

Right, right. Tell us.

In this competition,
I fought all the way to the end.

I didn't actually meet my equals,
until I met Piao Zhengyi and Rolex.

They are competitive.

Talk about equal,

the really competitive ones
are Piao Zhengyi and Rolex.

Piao Zhengyi is a Taekwondo master.

He is fearful in fighting.

When he's fighting,
he uses both hands and legs.

You know...

during the competition...

I suffered many of his punches
and kicks.

But you won in the end, Master.

He is sharp, but not enough,
compared with me.

Master, Rolex was a three-time champion.

How did you defeat him?
Tell us about it.

Right, right, tell us.

Talk about Rolex, he is even more
powerful and skillful.

He is perfect in attacking.

He's good at punches as well as kicks.

His kicking is brutal.

What is his most brutal skill?

Fast Punches.

So, when I was fighting with him,

I couldn't reach him close enough.

I couldn't use my Wing Chun Fist.

This guy's kicking is amazing.

He can do high kicks repeatedly.

His action is faster than fist.

Master, please show us.

Please show us!

My secret to defeat him is speed.

Faster than fast.

So, this guy's kicking is great,

but I beat him up in the end.

-How is that?
-Go on!

Go on, tell us more.

I should throw a wet blanket on you guys.
If I go on, I'll be too talkative.

That's all for today.

Next time, I'll teach you about the moves
and show you how I defeated him, okay?

Bruce Lee.

Have some ice.

Okay.

I met a real master.

Please don't.

I just want to cool you down.

If you can beat me,
I'll cool down myself.

Come on, then.

Do you know what will be the result
if we have a fight?

I know. Only one person will
be able to walk out of here.

If that's the case,
why do we still to do silly things?

You came to challenge me here.

If I don't accept it, I'll be laughed
at in the martial arts community.

Bruce, forget it.

Let them go out.

Kimura, please take them out.

Please go out, everyone.

A one-arm martial artist.

You're very skillful.
Why don't you participate in competitions?

I'm not interested in fame.
It's boring.

Good.

Mr. Kimura, what do you think?
Is he really a master?

Sure he is.
Your coach is so fast,

but he didn't even hit the ice
from the guy's hand. He is unusual.

I don't believe
this one-arm guy has any special skills.

You've misjudged him.

His clothes are sloppy,

but his eyes are bright.

I know he was pretending.

This means he is truly a master.

It could be like what Bruce said.

Only one person can walk out of here.

When Rolex won the first champion,
I taught him a lesson.

Now I'm giving you another.

Don't be too arrogant.

Bruce!

Master.

Master, master.

-Bruce.
-How is our master?

Are you hurt?

What's that supposed to mean?

He's smarter than I am.

-Master, you can beat him.
-Yeah.

Bruce, what did he say to you?

To be honest,
I saw your performance.

I dissolved your action
with slow motion shots.

I must say that I truly admire
your kung fu.

-You want to study kung fu as well?
-No, no, no.

I came to Oakland today to see you,
not to discuss kung fu with you.

Let's talk about films.
Hollywood films.

Is it because of my Jeet Kune Do?

Of course.
After I watched your performance,

I've been thinking of another possibility.

There is a sort of connection
between your Jeet Kune Do and films.

I'm a filmmaker.

I'm confident in my judgment.

These years,
the TV business is growing.

The film industry is now in danger.

Film gurus in Hollywood
are frustrated about this.

Almost all of us filmmakers
are thinking of the same thing.

How to create a new style of film
to save the downturn of film industry.

I've seen this possibility
from your performance.

George, talk about film,
it's nothing new to me.

When I was little, I took part
in more than 20 films in Hong Kong.

Lee, we're talking about Hollywood films,
not Hong Kong films.

They are not the same thing.

So, how do you plan
to bring me into Hollywood?

That's just my own thought.

I have to persuade William,
my boss, on funding side.

Starting from tomorrow,

with the films that I recorded,
I am going to persuade him.

I dare to say that no one would
reject you, Bruce.

I want to ask you this.

Was there ever any Chinese movie star
in Hollywood?

No, as far as I know.

So I'll be the first.

I think so. That's the deal.

Good.

Secondly, it is not so good
in concealment.

It is fast, but not powerful enough.

Let's look at the slow motion
of these two moves. The first one.

Right. The second one. Faster.

-Do you get it?
-Yes.

My Chinese friends.

Bruce Lee.

I'm so happy to see you.

Hey, Mr. Harrison!

How did you have time
to visit my little martial arts school?

Can't I come to learn your kung fu?

Mr. Harrison,
please watch my students' performance.

Hello, everyone.

How about the boxing king, Mr. Harrison,
teach us some boxing skills?

Great.

We'd like to learn from you.

Look over there.

You are extremely fast.

Mr. Harrison, when I was in Hong Kong,
I saw your matches.

I noticed that your steps are wonderful.

-Is that right?
-Can you teach me?

Sure. The key is, relax your knees.

Touch the ground with your toes.
You know?

Try it.

-Is it right? Right.
-Right, right, right. Relax.

-Move a little bit. Right?
-Right, move a little.

Right. Let's practice it.

Look.

I'm showing you a weak point.
When you hit me, I'll punch you.

-Again.
-Good.

Okay.

I see.

Right, relax your legs.

Look, like this.

Is that right?

You have to be like a flying butterfly.

That's it.

You know cha-cha?

Your steps look like cha-cha.

Wonderful.

Your steps are so gentle,

-like a butterfly flying.
-A flying butterfly.

-That's a beautiful comparison.
-Yes.

A flying butterfly.

So gentle and yet so free.
Moving to your heart's will.

This is exactly
what Taoism is talking about.

As long as your steps are gentle,
your punch will be stronger and faster.

Follow your will freely.

It'll be hard
for your opponent to hit you.

But you'd seek a way to attack
your opponent in your own pace.

You can defend
as well as attack your opponent.

-Attack?
-Right.

You can dodge.

-You're more flexible now.
-Beautiful.

Your dodging would be more flexible.

Only in this way,
can we become free and easy.

You have the power
to control the situation.

Good. Looks like
I have to pay the tuition.

We Chinese regard friendship
above all else.
