Bruce Lee Movie - horse whip and clay pots?
I'm looking for the title of a martial arts movie. It stars someone that, as a child, I thought was Bruce Lee, but it may be one of the "pretenders to the throne" after he died. I saw it on television, Saturday morning "Kung Fu Theater." Here is what I remember: He ran a martial arts school. He got beat up. He trained hard (can you say montage?), by kicking clay pots filled with water. He fought bad guy after bad guy, and even fought a guy who was on a horse, who weilded a whip. This scene, I think, was shot on a green-grass field with trees planted in rows. The end bad guy had a white uniform with a wide red belt. Our hero, of course, was the victor. I know this could describe multiple movies, and I saw it so long ago (likely 1982 or thereabouts). Any help is appreciated.

What was Bruce Lee's best movie?
My all-time favorite Bruce Lee movie was “Fist of Fury.” It was very dramatic and probably one of the most classic revenge stories. The choreography was amazing because it focused on skilled hand-to-hand combat as opposed to wire kung fu and overly flashy moves. The dojo fight was one of my favorites because it was intense physically and emotionally. I love how this video breaks it down well.Storywise, Chen Zhen (Bruce Lee) was unstoppable! Fueled by rage, hate, and pain over his master’s death - He went on a rampage. Didn’t matter who went up against him be it other martial artists, masters, skilled fighters, etc. He would beat them all mercilessly, ruthlessly, and brutally. He completely surrendered everything dear to him to get revenge on the man who killed his master.The ending was just incredible and perfect. For all of those points, it’s his best film in my opinion.
If I'm NOT mistaken, wasn't James Hong in a Bruce Lee movie?

In Bruce Lee's movie Game of Death, What Kinda shoes does he wear in the last scene.
They are made by a company owned by Asics. They are called Onitsuka Tigers. The history of Onitsuka Tiger began with the establishment of Onitsuka Co. Ltd. in 1949. Based on the philosophy of bringing up sound youth through sports, the company has maintained the tradition of specializing in the manufacturing of sports shoes using original ideas and applying epoch-making techniques. As the Japanese people recovered from the war and began to appreciate the benefits of sports, Onitsuka Tiger shoes were on their feet. The first basketball shoes in Japan had a tiger face design on the arch of the foot and this became Onitsuka's trademark. In the 1960's, Onitsuka Tiger sports shoes were worn not only by the Japanese, but also by top foreign athletes.
How well known in the U.S. was Bruce Lee before he died?
He was well known enough for his death to merit a mention on the U.S. evening news (according to my parents). It would be difficult to put a number on it, but it's likely that a large number of Americans would have recognized his face and some of his work -- even if they didn't recognize or know his name.Lee was the star of a prime-time television series that aired once a week for 23 weeks. Although The Green Hornet did not do well in the ratings, remember that this was a time when there were only three television channels to choose from (unless you also count PBS). We can guess that, at least out of curiosity, many Americans would have flipped over to give the show a try. In addition, Lee portrayed Kato in a crossover with the very popular Batman television series that was also running at the time. This would have increased his exposure.Prior to that, Lee had a recurring and somewhat prominent guest role in another primetime series, Longstreet. This series also failed to last beyond a single season, but Lee's role reportedly garnered a good deal of attention. He had also played a killer-for-hire in the big-screen movie Marlowe, starring James Garner. All of these things would have led to a large number of Americans seeing his work.So prior to his death, Bruce Lee might not have been a household name, but many would likely have recognized him if you showed them a picture, or described him as "that Chinese guy who does kung fu (or karate or whatever, since virtually no Americans knew the difference back then.)"
Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, Jackie Chan or Jet Li?
stuffy, how can you not know about Bruce Lee? I thought other than Jesus and Elvis, Bruce Lee is known by all. Jim, Bruce Lee was not an actor. He was a master martial artist who then got into movies for the last couple years of his life. He was not a stage fighter like Jackie Chan. If you honestly think a baseball bat would work against Lee or Li, then you're an imbecile. Regarding a real-life fight (obviously presuming Lee was still alive), there's no question Lee would beat Norris. He did beat him on film (in Return of the Dragon), and Norris once said he didn't know of anyone who could beat Bruce Lee. Jackie Chan is amazingly talented, but he's not as fast as Bruce was (and Bruce beat him and Sammo Hung in Enter the Dragon as well--yes it was a movie, but life would likely reflect art in that case.) Jet Li would have the best chance because they're both so quick, I honestly don't know who would win it since Jet Li is a master of Jeet Kune Do (thanks to Bruce Lee.) I'd say they balance each other out, but Bruce was always about adapting, so he would probably pull it out against virtually anyone. And I know people will laugh at this, but don't count out Steven Seagal. He too is a master martial artist (and not an actor by trade). Don't place him in the same category as Van Damme, he is actually skilled. He would not fare well against Bruce b/c of Bruce's own philosophy on using the opponent's inertia against them, but Seagal would nearly surely defeat Norris. Not sure vs. Chan or Li.
Do you agree that Bruce Lee is the father of MMA, or the earliest advocator of this sport?
I STRONLGY disagree that Bruce Lee is the father of MMA and I SOMEWHAT disagree that he was an early advocator of the sport.Second part first. Bruce Lee was an advocate of full-contact sparring/drilling vs. non-contact sparring/drilling as part of martial art training and he was one of the first to advocate use of this training approach.In my opinion then he was not an advocate of the sport of MMA. But interestingly, several of the top pioneers of the 1970s American sport of Full-Contact Karate (a precursor to MMA) were students of Bruce Lee. People like Joe Lewis, Mike Stone, Louis Delgado and even, Chuck Norris.Now, MMA. The father quote can be attributed to UFC President Dana White. Dana’s a smart businessman and so it behooves him to associate his company with arguably the most influential martial artist of the modern era.And he’s not far off. In the opening fight scene of his blockbuster film Enter The Dragon, Bruce Lee and his opponent fight each other dressed in Speedo-like trunks, with finger gloves and they kick, punch, throw and grapple… and Bruce Lee wins the fight with a submission.So in 1973 the movie fight choreography closely paralleled the action in a UFC fight, a tournament which premiered in 1993.So Bruce Lee’s was 20 years ahead of the MMA movement and there is a similarity in the physical aspects between his sparring and MMA’s fighting but he was not interested in turning his martial art approach into a sport.
