The Hong Kong movie industry didn’t want the film to happen. In this case, Bruce was completely right and I was completely wrong.” I said, “Bruce, that’s a title for a kids’ movie.” So he called Ted Ashley, and Ted said to give it to him if he wanted it. “It was only later when Bruce started seeing it get put together that he said he wanted it to be called Enter the Dragon. According to Black Belt Magazine’s interview with producer Fred Weintraub, Lee never liked the name and pushed for Enter the Dragon despite the studio’s doubts about the switch. The original script for the film was titled Blood and Steel. The movie wasn’t originally called Enter the Dragon. Actors and camera operators couldn’t stay in the room for more than 15 minutes before they’d get sick and have to take a break before resuming filming. Bruce walked into mirrors, we all walked into mirrors a bunch of times,” said Hubbs in an interview with CBR.

“You had to actually physically touch someone because you might be talking to the wall. Cinematographer Gil Hubbs said that the idea came while at lunch in a restaurant that had mirrors lining the walls and ceiling, but filming in the room came with certain challenges.

Being the professional that he was, Lee demanded to finish shooting the scene before being treated for the bite. Thankfully, the cobra’s venom gland had been removed so there wasn’t an imminent chance of death. Jagged glass wasn’t the only injury that Lee suffered on the set - the action star ended up taking a cobra bite to the hand during one scene as well. During one take, Lee caught Wall’s hand and jammed his fist right into the broken bottle, requiring medical treatment after finishing the scene. During one fight scene, actor Bob Wall recalled how he was supposed to be trying to stab Lee with a broken bottle and Lee told him to thrust the jagged glass as hard as possible.

Producer Paul Heller said that the comic’s bright colors and aesthetic were applied to the movie. The comic strip follows Terry Lee, an American boy who ventures to China with his friend and then runs across a band of pirates and other villains. This is largely based on its link to an old comic strip called Terry and the Pirates. The look of the film was loosely based on a 1930s comic strip.īesides being one of only two English-language movies where Bruce Lee speaks in his natural voice - the other being Marlowe - the film has a more western look than his previous movies. Chan said that he really wasn’t hurt too much, but Lee was incredibly apologetic and took time to talk with him about his martial arts background on the set. During the fight scene Chan took a smack to the face when Lee mistakenly swung his fighting stick a little too close and caught Chan upside the head. A decade into his career, but still a complete unknown to American audiences, Chan landed a small part in Enter the Dragon playing a prison thug who attempts to take down Bruce and of course loses.
