Trivia

The scenes with Bruce Lee's spirit were actually filmed with Tai Chung Kim and Kurt McKinney both speaking different languages. Kim's voice was later dubbed into English and, apparently, both actors did not know what they were saying to each other throughout these scenes - they spoke from cues behind the cameras.

Fight choreographer "Harrison" Mang Hoi doubled both Kurt McKinney and Kim Tai Jong for the back somersault flip kick.

Share this

The scene that has Kurt McKinney doing two-finger push-ups was actually filmed with wires to hoist McKinney up and down. They used trees in the background to cover up the wire.

Goofs

When Jason is training with his foot in the rope for the second time, the red choker is up , then down, then up again, without assistance from anyone.

Share this

When Jason's father is beaten up behind the bar he is working in, he has his jacket in his hands. In the next shot it is gone.

Share this

When Jason is hanging his punching bag, he clips it and you see the bag drop all the way to the floor. In the next shot the bag is at head level.
