Welcome to Beerdy – Bruce Lee Central

Hey everybody, it’s Beerdy here. What’s going on, guys? Okay, so Chuck Norris, we all know him, we all love him and I managed to find an old VHS tape, and I just restored it. And it turns out that there’s an interview with Chuck Norris on that VHS tape and he’s talking about his big fight with Bruce Lee on Way of the Dragon. And he actually reveals one of the biggest secrets from that fight. So here guys, take a look.

Chuck Norris (Martial Artist & Actor):

That movie cost $145,000 to produce. It grossed over $60 million worldwide. It’s amazing, huh?

Interviewer:

You’re glad you’re in it.

Chuck Norris (Martial Artist & Actor):

Oh, yeah, of course, I am because I enjoyed working with Bruce Lee in the film. It was a lot of fun. The fight scene is considered the classic martial art fight scene of all time. So it’s nice to be involved in a fight scene that everyone… In fact, I’ve gotten thousands of letters from pen letters from that movie. And I got a letter one time, a guy wrote because there’s a scene where I throw Bruce to the ground and he grabs the hair on my chest and like he pulls it out, right? Of course, he does it for real but I get a letter from this man and he says, he and his son had seen Return of the Dragon 26 times. And he says he said I’ve got it…

Interviewer:

They weren’t selling ice creams in the stores?

Chuck Norris (Martial Artist & Actor):

It’s amazing people have seen this movie so many times. Unbelievable! I’ve got letters where people have seen it 18, 19, 20 times and because of the fight scene. But he says, if Bruce really pulled the hair out of your chest, he said, if he did, you’re really a stud. So I wrote back and said no, not for real. He didn’t. But it’s interesting to think of how people react to the film.

Interviewer:

Yeah, so what next?

Chuck Norris (Martial Artist & Actor):

Well, I have to be back home Monday. I’ve got four movie offers. I just finished another movie that will be coming over in the near future called The Octagon. That’s very good. And I have four offers now that I’ve got to decide, you know, what film I want to do this summer.

Interviewer:

So, it’ll be films and not television or anything?

Chuck Norris (Martial Artist & Actor):

No, I don’t want to do television yet, Graham. Mainly because you work all year round and there’s certain times of the year that I cut my activities down drastically because I have two teenage boys, who are in high school and they play American football and baseball. And during that particular time of the year, I kind of slow my activities down so I can go to their games.

Interviewer:

Well, thanks very much Chuck for coming along and every success in the future.
