Bruce Lee/Brandon Lee: Theories on their mysterious deaths

[Scepcop]

Why is Bruce Lee considered such a good fighter? After all, he only weighed 135 pounds soaking wet and any high-school wrestler could rip his head right off his scrawnly little neck, right? Any welterweight boxer would cave in his face with a single punch. He never actually fought anyone, but lots of people believe the marketing hype anyway.

@hicckeya you obviously haven't seen footage of his real fights. People would challenge him quite often. On the streets, on movies sets, just about anywhere. I've seen footage of him wiping the floor with martial arts experts 2-3 times his size.

Respectfully submit this in answer to any who doubt Lee was a real bad A:

Check out James DeMile. He has the background. He knew Lee. He studied with him. He was a streetfighter and undefeated USAF heavyweight boxer, etc etc. He says that to this day, Lee was the best in real life. The best in the world. Check out how he learned. He didn't have a SPAM BLOCK to support him He was more obsessed than Bruce Wayne; when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, in his prime, ran with Lee, the big guy couldn't keep up with him. Check out remarks of top boxers, like Sugar Ray Leonard, who says he derived his jab from watching Lee on film. Check out Manny Pacquiao's comments, that Lee is his hero.

Lee didn't back down from the chinese gangsters, who wanted to muscle in his career. Do you know what they've done to actors and actresses who didn't play? One famous actor they made him eat his own s***. Lee was so bad he tore up their checks in front of their faces. When filming Enter the Dragon, just for fun Lee would put his hand on the chopping block for the cooks to slam down. They always missed. He had a razor sharp training device, electrified. Anyone who says "I could take Bruce Lee' just has to reconstruct this device and he'll be in the running. I don't know any fighter who would do this. In other words he was either supremely confidant, or crazy, or both. Do you think a sporting fighter such as MMA / boxing, wrestling will have a chance against such a guy? Boxers take time off from training, because their heart isn't in it. Lee trained all year long, like an Olympic swimmer. So anyone who is badder than Bruce Lee has to 1/ be prepared to laugh in gangster's faces 2/ do the crazy stunts he did, with hatchets, razor devices and such.

DeMile can back this story up: in the early days, when Lee wasn't even at his peak, there were about half a dozen guys, all big and hard guys. They said as a group, "Bruce could beat us all at the same time." I don't know of any fighter in the world who
engenders that awe.

When Lee was in Vegas, he met the singer tony Bennett in Bennett's suite, with his two beefy bodyguards, The subject of course turned to fighting, and Bennett said "A good Italian streetfighter could beat a kung fu guy." Lee said, put mouth where your etc .... He said one bodyguard would guard the door, the other would smoke a cigarette, representing a loaded but holstered gun. Bennett had a stopwatch. Lee went out the door and closed it. A few seconds later, the door smashed in, from a kick, the door smashing into the first guy. Lee then kicked the cigarette out of the guy's mouth. Bennett said something like
Holy sheet!
These aren't myths, they have credible witnesses. Another story, told by Lee (I don't know the witnesses) but in Vegas, probably at the same time as the Bennett meet. A security guy was hassiling him, 6'6" or so. Lee dropped him with one side kick to the jaw. Then he walked off. There are plenty of stories like this, all with good witnesses ... such as when a Hongkong
fighter, boxer/wrestler wanted to make a name for himself. Lee put him off, but the guy wouldn't stop. They met at an estate... Lee caved in the side of his face with one punch. No jabs, nothing else. The guy vanished from the scene. It was said he was flown to Japan for surgery, and that Lee paid for it. Witnesses also verify that he was a pretty nice guy, helping out strangers and friends. Like when in Hong Kong a guy carrying plates in the rain dropped them. Lee ran out, the guy was crying because he would lose his job over the plates. Lee helped him pick up the ones not broken, and gave him some money.
So while with a lot of flaws, such as a temper, he was a classy guy too.

So respectfully I suggest people check out real history and not people who weren't there.

Plus : check out Capt. Richard Marcinko, founder of SEAL Team 6. 1/ He has high respect for the 'legendary' martial artists, and quotes things like Art of War, famous sword masters, etc. 2/ He has high respect for jeet kune do, the art founded by Bruce Lee; he writes that he dialed into personal training under a man trained in JKD, and later branched into his own art (Lee encouraged this, btw). Marcinko says that basically everything he tried didn't work, so he signed up for personal instruction, after which his combat skill soared (I recall that was his exact word, but can't be sure). Here's a guy who can bench press 600 pounds, and he's not lacking in either strength or size dept. And a previous post says a high school wrestler could snap Lee's skinny neck easy. I don't think so. 3/ Marcinko even has one of his fictitious characters an expert in JKD.

But for a quick intro, see James DeMile ... undefeated in USAF heavyweight boxing 100 bouts.... he says he really tried to take out Lee, but never could ... and that was before Lee was even at his best, since this was when they were in their early 20s. In their first encounter, in front of a college class, Lee asked for volunteers, and said to DeMile "You look like you can fight." And DeMile tried to really hit him, but was tied up, 'till Lee tapped him on the head and asked "is any body home?" From there, he asked for personal training, and became one of Lee's first American students.

Check out this new documentary film called "I Am Bruce Lee". In it, Bruce Lee's wife and daughter, his friends, and various fighters, talk about Bruce Lee's life and legacy. It's very interesting. After you watch it, you will be inspired and awed by his story and accomplishments, and have a whole new deep appreciation for this extraordinary man who left us too soon. He was way ahead of his time.

Please watch this and pass it on, so that others can gain a deep appreciation for this incredible one-of-a-kind man and what he did for the image of Asians and Chinese all over the world. He was one of the best role models that one can have, and his philosophy was way ahead of its time.

I Am Bruce Lee (Full documentary)



Also, here is the raw, unedited footage of the last fight scenes he filmed for the movie "Game of Death", which heavily edited the footage. In this footage, which is 39 minutes, you can see what the original version was supposed to be like. When you watch it, you will be amazed and mesmerized at his talent, charisma, and the way he moved, which was so fast and fluid, unlike any other.



I love this line by Bruce Lee from the fight scenes where he tells his opponent (Dan Inosanto), "You see, rehearsed routines lack the flexibility to adapt."

Check out the intro to Bruce Lee's last film "Game of Death". It has one of the best soundtracks ever for a movie, that has a legendary feel to it. It was composed by John Barry, the same guy who composed the masterpiece soundtrack for "Dances with Wolves".



Holy cow! I just saw something shocking! At 1:50 a spinning disc with sun rays is shown with the words "MASON & CO" in the middle of it. I can't believe everyone else missed that. Could that mean that the Freemasons completed this film? If so, then perhaps the plot (which was changed from Bruce Lee's original concept) is telling us that Bruce Lee was killed because he refused to join their Illuminati/Freemason syndicate gang?

It makes sense. That's what his brother Robert Lee believes too, because in real life, Bruce Lee did repeatedly refuse to join the Triad Gangs that owned the Hong Kong movie industry. They must have felt threatened by him because he wanted to do everything in his movies his way, and he was getting big and famous. So if he had been allowed to continue, he would have single-handedly dominated and owned the martial arts film industry, taking power away from the Triads and their power structure. They could not allow that. So they took him out.

Plus, he was trying to revolutionize the way people think and awaken them to formlessness (Jeet Kune Do). If the masses followed that, then the control of power elite, or the Illuminati, would have been threatened and undermined. Their dominance over us can only be maintained if they control the war on our consciousness. So for a rising movie star (who wanted to do everything his way) to change the consciousness of people on a mass scale would have been a serious threat to them.

So if Bruce Lee was a threat to both the Triads, who controlled the Kung Fu film industry, and the cabal of the ruling elite (or Illuminati), then they had reason to take him out, just as they had reason to take out President Kennedy in 1963, who was a threat to many powerful interests. It makes sense doesn't it?

In addition, this film also predicts the exact way that Bruce Lee's son, Brandon Lee, would die 20 years later, which was totally unprecedented in Hollywood history. I mean, no one on a movie set gets killed by a real bullet unless it was intentional. Come on now. That's why it's never happened before.

So, if this film accurately predicted the way Brandon Lee would be killed, then perhaps it also contains clues embedded in fiction, about why Bruce Lee was killed. If it did, then it would be consistent. In the movie "V For Vendetta", Natalie Portman's character said, "Politicians use lies to cover up the truth. Artists use lies to tell the truth." So perhaps sometimes fiction is used to tell the truth, either by humans or higher metaphysical forces.

Could this be how Bruce Lee was killed? It's an unusual theory but seems to make sense. I don't buy the theory that an aspirin killed him though. That's way too improbable beyond reason, and doesn't take into account that there are certain poisons and dim mak techniques that don't leave a trace.
