The Legend of Bruce Lee (李小龍傳奇)

These days, I've been struggling. It's like a devil is following me.

Is Yamamoto the devil?

Yes.

In Japan, as well as in the U.S.,

Yamamoto is a well-known martial artist.

He values his martial arts training.

He's opened many martial arts schools here,

mostly to teach students.

He seldom fights with others.

I don't understand.

How can he build such a solid foundation?

It probably has something to do with the iron dummy.

Iron dummy? What's that?

I've heard of it, but have never seen it myself.

His students say that he beats an iron dummy every day.

It's twice the size of a real man, made of pig iron.

It's amazing how he practices martial arts this way!

Fine. I must meet this Yamamoto again.

Bruce, don't make any more trouble.

This time, Mr. Yamamoto probably didn't come to defeat you.

His purpose of coming to Seattle is to occupy the territory here.

I don't care about this.

I must find him.

I'll make him lose his foothold.

I've said that I have no equal in Seattle.

No means no.

No matter who he is, I'll defeat him.

Bruce. Don't act rashly.

Don't go looking for him again.

He's defeated you, he won't bother you anymore.

I'll find him. I don't believe that I can't.

No. Don't go.

Kimura.

I've said this before.

I won't say I'm number one, but I won't settle for number two.

I must meet Yamamoto

and fight with him again. I'll crush him.

Bruce, don't go looking for him again.

You're so barbaric! Why did you kick the door?

Where's Yamamoto? Get him out!

What are you up to?

To spar with him.

Aren't you afraid of dying?

I wouldn't be here if I was.

Bruce Lee.

You break into my house like this.

That's so shameful!

If you're gutsy enough, you shouldn't have let your watchdogs

block me from entering.

What are you doing here?

To spar with you.

You…

You want to challenge me again?

You can say that.

You're challenging me again?

It's an exchange.

You're using a gentler word.

Since you've seen the way I train.

Fine.

If you want to earn the right to challenge me,

you have to beat him first.

You're insulting me.

If you can beat him, I'll spar with you.

If you can't even beat this dumb iron dummy,

then get out of my way.

Do you mean it?

Martial artists never eat their words.

China guy. Now you see.

You've only made a name for yourself in tiny Hong Kong,

in Seattle, you've only defeated Kimura, a third period player.

How dare you brag that you can't find an equal in Seattle!

You can't even beat a dumb iron dummy!

Come on.

Try your One-Inch Punch!

Bruce Lee. Go back to college.

Never practice kung fu in front of me again.

If you still want to be part of the martial arts circle,

leave Seattle. There is no place for you here!

I don't want to see something like this happening again.

-Understand? -Yes.

Bruce, you've seen Yamamoto?

Yes.

I'm practicing with a wooden dummy.

He's fighting with an iron dummy.

I have to change my boxing technique.

I want to create my own kung fu.

Bruce, don't go around picking fights.

If you carry on, you'll be in big trouble.

Didn't you hear me? I said I wanted an iron dummy!

it should at least be as big as Yamamoto's.

Go.

Bruce...

you're not a professional martial artist.

I came to you

as your mind and kung fu are better than regular martial artists.

One who only uses his physical power is just a rough man.

He'll never become a martial artist.

I hope you'll listen to me.

Don't go around picking fights.

You've told me Prof. Kane once said,

"There is only one opponent in this world. It's yourself."

Bruce, I believe that you'll become a true martial artist.

Don't get upset by just one failure.

You've just said

that you want to change your boxing technique.

Good.

Rather than competing against Yamamoto,

it's better to have a good talk with Prof. Kane

and figure out new martial arts techniques.

Fine. But first, I have to wipe out the memory of my disgrace.

I must defeat Yamamoto.

All right.

I'll order an iron dummy for you.

Bruce, what are you doing?

He's crazy.

When did you start weightlifting?

This is a good workout for my muscles.

Linda. you're the only one who can persuade Bruce.

He's been intensifying his muscle-building regime.

I can't help but worry about his health.

You're a medical student.

Tell me. With such intensive training,

How much harm will be done to his body?

Look. He does 300 push-ups first,

then beats the iron dummy.

After that, he trains with 200 pounds of barbell.

No way.

What no way?

Look, I can feel that my muscles

are filled with strength.

My waist, hips, and all other body parts are feeling more powerful.

I've figured out about Yamamoto.

He is no big deal.

Nothing more than doing intensive muscle training for years.

So his endurance level is superior. First, he's not afraid of beatings.

Second, he can stand firm.

That's his secret.

As long as I increase my muscle strength

to a certain degree,

I can knock him down with my One-Inch Punch.

Are you done?

What?

Listen, Bruce.

I don't want you to use brute force.

I just want you to be healthy.

You shouldn't destroy your own health, just to defeat Yamamoto.

An intensive training within a short time will be problematic.

It's devastating to your body. Did you know that?

Linda. Do you know what is most devastating?

It's humiliation.

Yamamoto humiliated me. He looks down on me.

I'll make him fall flat

in front of me.

Fine.

Even if you can defeat Yamamoto, can you defeat everyone?

You know it's a big world out there.

There are so many people learning kung fu, boxing, karate,

taekwondo, judo, Thai boxing, etc.

Can you defeat all of them?

Even if you fight one every day, and do nothing else this lifetime,

you can never fight them all.

Bruce, Linda is right.

These days, you've been possessed by the devil.

You ignored the students.

You weren't interested in conducting your classes.

If you carry on, you'll get into trouble.

Let's go. You haven't eaten yet.

I'll treat you, all right?

Remember, you are not alone now.

You have your martial arts school, your friends, and me. See?

I don't want anything bad to happen to you.

Go, Bruce.

Linda cares about you a lot. If you don't listen to her…

Shut up.

I have no problem.

Eat more.

You've been using too much energy every day.

Linda. You're a medical student.

You'd better think of a way to build up his health.

These days...

his muscle strength improved,

but he's visibly slimmer now.

Don't worry. I'll take care of him

and help him recover soon.

Slow down.

Bye. See you tomorrow.

-Bye. -You guys have made good progress today.

Go. Go.

-See you tomorrow. -Bye, let's go.

Who is this?

Give up?

Give up. Give up.

Blair, Is that you?

Blair.

You're still so swift.

What an unexpected visit! I'm so happy to see you.

Me, too.

How's your illness?

Getting better. I'm not seeing God yet.

Are you still practicing boxing?
