Back Flip Kick in Enter The Dragon
davidw
compelling question is whether Bruce or a double performed the special feats
as follows:
1) The back spring from hands to feet in the first scene.
2) The back flips followed by jump over the six students, at the end of the
scene.
3) The overhead spin kick when fighting Bob (Ohara).
I've heard mixed reports regarding doubles ....
I believe that Bruce did most of his own stunts but I am not 100% certain
about those above.
Views appreciated.

John Overall
now a HK actor in his own right, who features throughout EtD e.g. he also
stands in for John Saxon when he leaps off the floor while battling Bolo.
I'm sure others reading this group will list the other appearances. It's
been documented that Bruce Lee had plans to explore tumbling and acrobatics
and although he may have had basic skills in this area he reportedly wasn't
proficient enough to do the moves in EtD. Whether his back would have been
up to the task is also open to question...

I'd seen Bruce do tumbling scenes in his child films and considered that
he'd probably be capable of doing the moves, prior to back injury... but I
was always intrigued by the mixed views expressed before on the subject....
I'd read that he didn't do the stunt with Ohara but wasn't sure whether the
article was accurate.... but hadn't seen much regarding the other two
tumbling stunts.

Romanticised Mandarin titles of Hong Kong films .
Why????!!!!!!!!
Can't stand the things....It's like writing French for English language movies.
Urrrghhh!
He, he.

Meeraa Matousek Harvey
He did: 1) The back spring from hands to feet in the first scene.
But he didn't do the other two: 2) The back flips followed by jump over the
six students, at the end of the scene; 3) The overhead spin kick when
fighting Bob (Ohara).
A gymnast was hired for the latter two. Bruce had a back injury; he couldn't
do the flips.
Joe
opera school as Jackie Chan.
He doubled for Bruce in a couple of other movies too.

In the Lost interview he said that he did all his own stunts... and
knowing Bruce's philosophy to be honest to oneself and not lieing to
oneself i'm sure he wouldn't contradict himself, therefore you can be
100% certain he did his own stunts.

everything else was done by bruce .
