FIRST TIME WATCHING | BRUCE LEE VS CHUCK NORRIS | REACTION 

Bruce was THE man. Total legend.

this was Chuck Norris' very first time on screen, and he was invited by Bruce Lee to be on it

Bruce Lee is the best Martial Artist of all time. He's was way ahead of his time. Master Yip Man trained Bruce Lee. Bruce ended up surpassing his teacher. Yip Man was able to see alot of Bruce's impact on the world, before Yip passed away. Bruce would need up dying year later, in 1973. Unfortunately, Bruce did not live to see the greater impact he made on the world, because he died shortly after he made the great Martial Arts film - Enter the Dragon. Enter the Dragon was the first Martial Arts film backed by a major Hollywood studio. So, Bruce changed the way humans looked at Chinese men, Martial Arts and ones commitment to their craft. The Martial Arts blew up in a big way, thanks to Bruce's efforts. You had many Martial Arts schools open up in America. Dana White (Owner of the UFC) stated, "Without Bruce Lee, there is no MMA. Bruce did this first.) Bruce Lee created his own fighting philosophy/ Martial Art known as Jeet Kune Do. A system of fighting that allows the practitioner to explore who they are and what would be the best way for that person to fight. Jeet Kune Do is made up of many techniques from different fighting styles, to create the ultimate self defense system. It's crazy how Bruce Lee and his Master Yip died on e year apart from each other. Master Yip 1972, Bruce Lee 1973. May both of them R.I.P. TERRANCE OUT

Let me tell you something...in the movie theater in 1972 it was standing room only in the theater...when Bruce got up and started dancing on his toes everybody in the theater went bat shit crazy...cause he was imitating Muhammad Ali!!

Chuck Norris' character didn't do anything to Bruce Lee's character to cause the fight, he was hired by the mafia to drive Bruce Lee's character out of town.

FUN FACT: The Cat represents Bruce Lee during the fight, for example around 7:12 the cat is playing with a rock, signifying that Bruce Lee is toying with Chuck Norris.

I have seen this movie hundreds of times. As a teen I was inspired by Bruce Lee movies to study martial arts. My Dad enrolled my brother and I at Chuck Norris Karate studios in Beverly Hills. He actually came through one of our classes and walked across our stomach during a kiai drill. 💯💯💯 He taught Tang Soo Do at that time. That said Bruce was the man! I went on to study and teach martial arts in many disciplines and appreciate Bruce's philosophy of not being beholden to one particular form / style. This scene shows the need to adapt to the situation using multiple skills. Chuck could not adapt. Glad to see people appreciate these movies and martial artist.

In the film, Chuck Norris played a hired martial artist named Colt whom the crime bosses in the movie hired to deal with Lee. I’m glad you noticed the choreography on the fight. Even though modern filmmaking has improved stunts and camera angles, This fight, despite its apparent simplicity, is a masterpiece; in fact, you might say it’s simplicity reveals its genius, allows the choreography to stand out. After Lee‘s character gets beat down by Norris‘s character,The music shifts tempo to signify not only a change in momentum, but a change in tactics. Lee’s martial arts philosophy was always about adaptability. In the beginning of the fight, both fighters squared off in wide base stances, common in martial arts because the Wide base emphasizes balance. However when the music starts at a high tempo, Lee is bouncing his feet adopting western boxing/fencing to deal with Norris’ skill. Lee emphasizes evasiveness In the next sequence, toying with Norris, and we see the cat toying with the pebble. I could go onAnd discuss the next music shift, the of use silence in the fight, etc. but I think I’ve made my point

The part when bruce grab chuck belt an gi an coved him up was a poignant part of the movie an in real life " respect for a fellow warrior"

Lee pulling Noris's hair and biting folks too in some movies reveals that though he is Martial artist he is a Raw Fighter too

Chuck Norris is a multi time karate world champ and holds many blackbelts in a variety of disciplines.

I feel like the cat in this iconic scene is serving as both the referee for the fight and it's also controlling the fighters.

I am grateful you reviewed this clip and your comment "on point" is absolutely on point. Both of these martial artists were at the top of their game and to SELL this on film was masterful. Kudos to Chuck and Bruce for choreographing this staged fight. To date I have not seen any martial art film top this.

Ip Man died of Laryngeal cancer on December 2, 1972 Bruce Lee died sometime after a year later of Cerebral edema in July 20, 1973 so they both kept in contact shortly before they both died RIP. 🙏🎞⏱

the moves in this fight are 100% legit, they might look funny because it's exaggerated and the camera work is outdated but i assure you they are real moves. the jabs, leg checks, fakes and leg kicks are used in ufc today. you can actually learn how to fight just by watching this clip

These two legends met in NYC at a martial arts tournament. They worked out together for several years in LA and were good friends. Bruce, Chuck, Steve McQueen, and Bob Wall were all friends.

ITs great to see people reacting to Bruce and appreciating his craft and how he influenced the world!

What you have to understand is one of many reasons Bruce Lee's movies were so realistic was although he tried not hit his stunt men. He actually did them. Ask Jackie Chan, Samo Hung etc, and Chuck Norris was a student of Bruce Lee.

12:00 To this day, I still love this shot of Lee, as if he's asking "Why did you make me do this, man?"

The part where Bruce Lee broke his hand was so quick that you gotta play it at x0.25 speed to see what he did.

Grew up on these movies it's very refreshing to see it thru young people's eyes who never seen it

It would have been cool to see Chuck Norris in Enter the Dragon playing John Saxons part(mr. Roper) I like John but Chuck, Bruce and Jim Kelly all on the same side would have been great especially when Chuck would have had to fight Bolo.

Bruce and Chuck were friends and they taught each other their respective martial arts. Like someone else said that Bruce invited Chuck to be in the film. If you get a chance to see the documentary called I Am Bruce Lee you will see different people talking about Bruce.

The one and only time Chuck Norris played a villain in a movie.

Keep them Ip Man and Bruce Lee videos coming!!!! Love ya guys!

Chuck Norris was the world karate champion turned actor and played in movies like - Lone Wolf McQuade , Code Of Silence and T.V. show Walker Texas Ranger and also trained with Bruce Lee in real life .

Bruce Lee is from America.

Your next reaction should be Game of Death Original footage!! This includes the battle between Bruce and Kareem Abdul Jabar

Bruce the king the legend the best in history forever the talk is over forever 🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳😏😏👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊🤫🤫🤫🤫💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Chuck Norris was playing the henchmen of the main villain and it was the first major role for Chuck Norris after a very small part in a Dean Martin Matt Helm film called the Wrecking Crew (which Bruce Lee also choreographed)

Chuck Norris got his ass whip

she’s a keeper, I really enjoyed both your commentaries

If I remember correctly, at the time this movie was being filmed, Chuck Norris was actually the world martial arts champion at the time, in real life. Bruce had called Norris & told him that he wanted him to do a fight scene with him in this movie, Norris made a joke to Bruce tellin him something Along the lines of "and who's gonna win in this scene?" To which Bruce replied "me of course, it's my movie" & Norris told him "ahhhh, so you just want me in the scene so you can brag about how you beat the world martial arts champion" & Bruce Lee just laughed lol

dude Bruce was born in san Fran not China or hk

Chuck Norris was his student in real life

This movie WAS filmed in 1972 AND BRUCE LEE HAD A fight With CHUCK NORRIS in THE ROMAN COLLESIUM AND AT THE END OF This movie BRUCE LEE Killed CHUCK NORRIS AND SADLY CHUCK NORRIS died FROM kidney CANCER AT THE AGE OF 83 AND HE WAS in A TV SHOW CALLED WALKER TEXAS RANGER REST in PEACE YOU GUYS YOU ARE GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN 😔

Bruce lee studied wingchun at a young age by master yipman also known as Ipman so some of the fight scenes has wingchun in it

I've never seen this movie. Oooo that kick to Chuck's knee came through the screen! Why am I rubbing my knee like I'm hurt? Bruce Lee had us all thinking we're Martial Arts experts. I love me some Bruce Lee! ♥️💐👑🥋

The reason behind the cat ordeal was they was using it as the signal to start the fight

You guys are hilarious!!! Cmon the hairy chest was the the thing in 1972!! C'mon Chuck you fighting another man...LOL!! I'm dead!!

Martial arts is like a chess game you have to think three steps ahead

Great movie. Bruce Lee himself directed this movie. The moment Bruce Lee started hopping around that's when he started using Jeet Kune Do. Bruce Lee got that hopping movement from watching Muhammad Ali fights. I miss doing my Jeet Kune Do classes. Haha

Reaction: Bruce Lee vs Guards

He gave him a warriors death and honored him in the end respect..

React to undisputed fight boyka vs turbo

This JULY THE 20th it Will BE 50 YEARS AGO THE GREATEST Marsial artist WHO EVER lived died 😔

Y’all should react to Jackie Chan’s Police Story 2: Playground Fight. The fight choreography is 👌

La velocidad de Bruce Lee era muchisima , ni en la actualidad no ahy videos de peliculas con tal velocidad en golpes

Keep reacting to Bruce lee you won’t be disappointed and keep up the good work👍👍👍👍👍

Bruce was trained by lots of people including chuck still one of the best fight scenes I've seen i compare all fight scenes to this one

I don't know how far you studied back into Bruce Lee. But the Wing Chun originated from a Buddhist nun named Ng Mui. The fighting system was named after the nun's first student, Yim Wing Chun. A bully was trying to marry Ms. Wing Chun so the nun taught her how to fight. There's even a movie about it called Wing Chun (2010). ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d1KHhP83gFw.html Use the closed captions for English subtitles.

Social media would make fun of Lee today if he were still alive bc of his age and health issues

Muito bom (Rio de janeiro Brazil)👏👏👏👏

Fun fact Bruce Lee body changed drastically after the Big Boss 1971

I've watched Bruce Lee's fight scenes many times. It was only recent that I've see people like yourself noticed parts of his fight scenes that are so subtle and fast that it was easily missed, like the scene where you said he feign a kick @ 8:06 before kicking Chuck in the face.

This movie was his frist he directed w a mixture of comedy , mix marital arts real fighters N styles, lara 621 found it .

Mean reaction, I enjoyed this. I have watched many but you both had the respect to watch and enjoy. Chur

This is before the IP man movies! IP man was Bruce lees trainer in china

Do those two know that fighting screen with Bruce and Chuck was for real.

Bruce directed this film 📽️ & was actually filmed at the Colosseum!👍

oh, someone cobbled together a fight scene: Bruce Lee vs. Bruce Lee, taken from this...

Bruce Lee learned Wing Chun from Master Ip Man. Years later Bruce came up with own martial art Jeet Kune Do. When Bruce first asked Chuck if wanted to be in this movie. Chuck said "Oh, you want to beat up the world champion kickboxer." Bruce said "No, I want to kill the world champion kickboxer." Chuck said "Ok Bruce I'll do it." Chuck's first movie and if want to see more Chuck Norris at one of his absolute best scenes ever. Watch Walker, Texas Ranger: Rise to the Occasion episode. Definitely one best episodes of the entire series in my opinion.

The hilarious thing about this scene is they didn't even have permission to film in the collesium they just filmed it anyway 😂

This movie was released in 1973. Pre Walker: Texas Ranger!

Bruce was an amazing practical fighter and martial artist but at this time chuck had already done some movies and he was also an actual karate champion

His speed ruined his elbow joint and knee joint. He basically destroyed them both.

I'm still getting goosebumps, when that drumbeat starts to play.

Great video guys, well done.

You ever watch that HBO Max series Warrior? Andrew Koji who plays the main character Ah Sahm is really good with Nunchucks.

The crazy thing about this movie: 1 this was BL’s Directorial debut, 2. It was about racial stereotypes, 3. CN and BL did not rehearse the choreography. They literally said, “ima do this,” “then ima do that,” and so on,… and they filmed it. Just talking before film. Thats the level these 2 were on…

Those triple roundhouse kicks in a row was unreal.

Ip man was Bruce first real teacher. When he left for America bro he learned many fighting styles. He incorporated everything he learned and created jeet kune do, which was s something they based MMA on. Taking everything you learn and adapting to a fight but yea ip man taught Bruce Lee when Bruce was young.

That's dope that you caught that fake. Almost nobody does

I heard that the part in slow motion was them actually sparring for real unrehearsed. That's why they put it in slow motion.

Way of the dragon is probably the first movies I saw where Bruce lee was beaten up and got punches and kicks and he feel, other movies he basically a undefeated boss

@KingScorpion73 Bruce was actually American as well being born in San Fransisco, chinatown area. Bruce did spend some time growing up in HK, but yup.. no doubt Bruce was really American. Another little rid bit on Bruce he spoke fluent english and cantonese but not a lick of mandarin chinese to.

Mr Lee fighting a grizzly bear Lol 😅🤣

Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco, but raised in Hong Kong.

Bruce went into extreme difficulty mode

at the 10:09 mark bruce does a VERY quick arm bar that is why chuck’s arm is shaking like that

This was my favorite Bruce Lee movie, Return of the Dragon

Chuck Norris was hired by the Mafia to kill Bruce Lee in the movie.

Make your reaction to the same Bruce Lee vs. Chuck Norris with the Mortal Kombat edition!

Bruce lee fought Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan in one of his movies when they were younger..

Bruce took the best from each fighting style, the float like a butterfly he got from Mohammed Ali. And Chuck Norris has that Okinawa karate

Lets get it straight IP man was one of Bruce 's Teachers . Ip man movies was off on timelines . Ip man was Bruce's 2nd or 3rd teacher. But after that Bruce came up with his own Style. Thd dancing around and the boxing style was Bruce's style. Bruce was and partially raised in San Francisco before his family moved to his monthers birth place, China. IP man taught him his style, Bruce had other teachers

You guys want to see more Bruce Lee watch this movie called the Boss it’s a good movie gang gang gang

The first, last and ONLY time that Chuck Norris ever played a villain. Bruce and Chuck learned from each other. Chuck worked with Bruce on kicking techniques and Bruce worked with Chuck on hand speed and punching power.

React boyka vs dolor, amazing fight scene guys

Stay Keepin' It REAL!

You didn’t hear Chuck’s arm AND leg get broken?

Did y’all know the dude from ip man is the one that trained him in real life

You both are phenomenal. ❤

Bad guys hired Chuck's character to kill Bruce's character

This is supposed to be taking place at the coliseum in Rome

Bruce Lee’s practice swings where so fucking quick dude Jesus

He shaved off all of his chest hair and made it into a beard for Walker Texas ranger LOL

Bruce Lee died from an allergic reaction to a pain killer given to him for a headache

In the movie Bruce kept fucking up the the local crime syndicate so they hired Chuck to take out Bruce, so it was a fight to the death with no mercy.

Bruce was using his art Jeet Kune Do and Chuck was using Tang Soo Do.
