Yuen Wah Speaks About His Backflip Kicks in Enter The Dragon

  • Post author:
Yuen Wah (Bruce Lee’s Stunt Double): I knew Bruce Lee from Fist of Fury… I remember a time getting those… sand bags, you know, a shield of sand bags… And then 5 of us withstanding his one side kick… But then after he kicked, the 5 of us were like bowling pins ricocheting and bouncing in all directions. In Enter the Dragon, Bruce wanted to add uh… a little something extra to his movements.
Yuen Wah (Bruce Lee’s Stunt Double): So… he wanted me to double him for a back-flip. But, he actually knows how though… What does he know? Cartwheel. I would double him for the back-flip. So… when flipping over the monks, over their sleeves… I doubled him there. After passing them… flipping and landing, even his backside is me doubling Bruce walking like this. Doubled his backside walking too.
