WHO was Bruce Lee's Stunt Double? #brucelee

Yuen Wah in an interview said Bruce Lee was trained in Wing Chun Kung fu that has no acrobatics in it. Yuen said, Bruce could do a simple cartwheel as he did in Enter the Dragonl, but did not know how to do gymnastics so he always used a stunt double in scenes requiring acrobatics. Yuen Biao was another stunt double who did the flip over the wall

Thank you for these scenes confirming that this is a stunt double for Bruce Lee. What's fascinating about Bruce's films is that his movements, in terms of timing and aesthetics, were always 100% perfect. He was truly a champion.

OMG I did not notice how famous Yuen Wah was. Last time I remembered watching him in kung fu hustle. Now I have to met him. 😁😁

I Always believed it was Bruce who did everything..flips..etc! His stunt double Yuen Wah was lucky to have been born with Bruces slim physique. That back flip against Sammo Hung was so pefect that it still looks like bruce! I wish there was footage of them rehearsing during behind the scenes. Warner bros has to have it!

What an amazing person he is!! Still looking and moving good in his later years. He certainly had Bruce's moves pinpoint sharp in Enter the Dragon! If you are new to Bruce there is no way you'd be able to tell who is who in the clips. Thanks again Stripey 👍✌️

Another excellent video and great to see Yuen Wah getting the credit he deserved

Fantastic stuff. Yeun Wah is fantastic. Im sure there is a minority out there who will now have something negative to say about Bruce not doing the flips, but no doubt had he lived Bruce would no doubt be a fantastic gymnast as well, he had that mentality. Leave the flips to Yeun Wah and the fighting to Bruce😂. Thanks Stripey..

I admire the way you thoroughly research all the content in your videos. It's okay to be a big Bruce Lee fan but at the same time be objective about things that have happened in his life. Thank you for keeping Bruce Lee's spirit alive with your great videos Stripey!

I completely agree, Yuen Wah is an amazing athlete and a true legend of Hong Kong cinema. I'm one of the lucky people to get the folder signed and photos of Yuen Wah by Steve Kerridge. I have no idea if Bruce could do somersaults. He may well have because there's pictures of him on a trampoline so maybe he did learn.I believe it was John Benn in an interview said Bruce would put a can up high on a post then jump up and kick it off while somersaulting and landing so maybe he could... Who knows??? I believe it was on set of WOTD. Have a great weekend Stripe.👍😊🙏

Yes Mr Rambles, to all of us Bruce aficionados out there, it was very obvious, but I love that you take time to cater for the novice Lee fans & the ill informed too, not everybody has our years of dedicated knowledge, so people like your good self are essentially keeping the spirit of the great man alive, & in a fun & informative way. Well done on your content, it's class 🙏

Love your videos, Stripey. There's always something new and fresh to watch plus you're still showing this 38 year fan of Bruce brand new details. Thank you for everything you do, screw the negative one or two percent and keep up the awesome work my friend.

Another great video Stripey, I did know who Yuen Wah was after reading about him many years ago doubling for Bruce in the more acrobatic stunts & flips. Always loved those sound effects in Enter The Dragon when he does the flip somersault over the monks with their arms raised. Impressive that he's still as active & flexible into his 70's! Cheers Mate!

Great video Stripey 👍Yuen Wah is a true Hong Kong movie legend. Looks like he’s still got it by that recent clip which is amazing to see.

Love the content you’re providing! Keep up the great work! ❤️

Great video ! Thank you for the information 🙏🏾

The following statement is for the real BRUCE LEE fans : whether it wad Yuen Wah or not who did the flips for Lee doesn't do any harm to his legacy in any way, shape or form. Like Stripey says " Credit should be granted where it is due." Facts are that Bruce Lee in my my estimation he had the ability to do it himself...and that's not rocket science to figure out. Besides Lee was the asset of that particular productions and the producers did not deem it plausible that he did his own stunts right ?and we all know why or do we ? Keep doing what you're doing Stripey ...l ramble with it ...much love❤❤

Another brilliant post Stripey. SUPERB.

Just a little fun facts that I had read. Bruce Lee had a old back injury that prevented him from taking the risk in doing the stunts. Yuen Wah is one of the best in acrobatics. Sammo Hung, Yuen Wah, Yuen Biao, Jackie Chan (and others) studied from a very young age at the Kowloon Chinese Drama Academy (an old Beijing Opera type school), where they learned martial arts, doing flips etc. When the school closed down, they went on to work as stunt men. There was a 1988 Hong Kong movie titled "Painted Faces" that told the story of their lives at the Beijing Opera house, starring Sammo Hung as the strict opera teacher, Master Yu Jim-yuen. Yuen Wah, also played the Tai Chi master (the landlord) in Stephen Chow's "Kungfu Hustle". If you had not watched that movie, watch it, it is wildly hilarious..that movie also had many real Hong Kong martial arts experts, acting in it. Yuen Wah is a real funny guy, even if he is playing the villain part. Cheers .

Another great video , thank you . you made my day. Enjoy your weekend, my friend.

Absolutely great narration, thank you
