did Bruce Lee set the bar too high for Asian actors in the west? was he too much of a badass to follow up on?

Jackie Chan exists, so no. Both are one trick ponies, but Jackie has a better trick.
>>64352074
Jackie Chan is great but when's the last time he was in a serious role? Bruce was just as charismatic and is just as well known despite being dead for 40 years
daily reminder that he lost to wong jack man
>>64352339
unproven
Toshiro Mifune already set the bar way higher
Cho young fat for more serious
Donnie yen for serious/action
Jackie Chan for comedy/action
Jet Li for action
>>64351853
He did make every other kung-fu movie from that era look stiff and lifeless in comparison.
>>64352652
Takeshi Kaneshiro is the modern Toshiro Mifune with a tiny bit more feminine features to appeal to Asian women
Toshiro would not be popular in Asia now because Asian girls hate alpha Asian men (excluding career alphas). Asian men with beards or obvious high test are avoided because they're regarded as uncontrollable beasts (they are secretly admired). Because of this, Asian women make the feminine beta boys popular since they look easy to control.
I grew a beard and got shitloads of glares/stares from Asian women. Got way better reactions from non-Asian girls.

Couples are reflections of each other. When I meet an ultra submissive beta woman, I know her man is also beta. The rare alpha Nippon belongs with a western woman who admires his manliness without feeling threatened by it.

Western doesn't strictly mean white.

>Forgetting Gordon Lui and Sony Chiba
>>64352647
i saw it happen
he pretty much limited asian actors to karate man roles for the next few decades
>>64355178
That's seems very difficult to believe. Are you something like 70 or 80 years old?
>>64352185
>when's the last time he was in a serious role?
I believe it was in the Karate Kid remake with Jaden Smith.
Enter the Dragon > Fist of Fury > The Big Boss > Way of the Dragon >>>>>>> Game of Death

Enter the Dragon is a retarded meme movie, ranking it above The Chinese Connection only reveals your garbage taste
>>64356624
Nice try reddit.
>>64356624
Enter the Dragon = Big Trouble in Little Hong Kong
>>64356624
Man, you straight out of a comic book
>>64356692
Bruce Lee as a Western spy is colossally stupid, no Western intelligence agency would use Chinese as spies unless they anticipated double agency.
Fights were ridiculously bad.
Lee's pseudo-philosophical meanderings are the most /r/cringe thing I've ever seen on film.
Yes, I'm from reddit. That's true. I enjoy posting to reddit and I'll never stop posting there. But ETD is a clusterfuck and bad qua martial arts film and The Chinese Connection is superior in every respect.

>that final boss fight scene with the mirrors
>bad
ok bud
>>64356440
bruce almost died during that fight he was beaten so badly
i recounted the match in a 1981 post to usenet if you care to check
>>64356954
the movie maker suddenly realized the final boss in an old guy with one hand with screwed on wolverine claws.
shit, how do we make it more exciting?
let's try mirrors, mirrors are exciting.
>>64358048
it should've been Bruce vs Roper, with Bruce overpowering and embarrassing the white american pig
>>64351853
I liked Mortal Kombat more than Enter the Dragon.
>>64359687
why
>>64360725
Because it's better? Bloodsport is also better and so is Heroes of the East. The Quest is probably better too.
Enter le Dragon is trash for trash people
>>64360768
No!
>>64357851
What's funny is Wong Jack Man challenged Lee to a public rematch. Lee never responded. Lee only fights when there are no witnesses.
>>64352787
>Chow Yun Fatt
>serious
I wonder how good he was at having gay sex.
>>64351853
No, but he did fuck it up for everyone else in the sense that Golden Harvest and a few other companies spent forever trying to make money off the name/image of Bruce Lee instead of just continuing to make good films that would cross over naturally like Big Boss had.
Nobody was safe from Brucesploitation during the mid 70's, which is sort of why Jackie Chan became a success in the 80's, the silent-movie style comedic situations and reactions set him apart from everyone else, and it only happen because Jackie himself was frustrated at being marketed as another Bruce clone (with US co-productions like Battle Creek Brawl and The Protector).

>The two came out, bowed formally and then began to fight. Wong adopted a classic stance whereas Bruce, who at the time was still using his Wing Chun style, produced a series of straight punches. Within a minute, Wong's men were trying to stop the fight as Bruce began to warm to his task.
Literally fucked him up
