Be Water, My Friend: The 10 Most Defining Bruce Lee Moments

Every once in a while, something very profound happens that changes life as we know it. One such occurrence took place in my life 20 years ago, and as such, shaped my ideals and passions into what they are today. At 8 years old through persuasion of my mother, I sat and watched for the first time probably what I consider to be the most influential movie of all time. The movie itself was very simple, but it was also one of the first of its kind and has spawned countless imitations since its release 40 years ago. The star is unmistakable and loved throughout the world, the man who opened up the door of martial arts in cinema to the West. The chiseled body, the lightning fast moves, the immovable fixed gaze, the animalistic scream, we all know who he is. The movie: Enter The Dragon; the man: Lee Jun Fan aka Bruce Lee.

Bruce-Lee-Way-Of-The-Dragon

I swear even though Eddie Murphy drew on childhood experiences when he wrote this joke, if he had seen Way Of The Dragon, this moment would’ve played some part in it too. One of the things I loved most about this movie was that it heavily contrasted the previous two movies in tone, as Bruce took a more lighthearted approach by injecting moments of humour and slapstick among the furious fight sequences.

In the film’s very first funny moment, we find Tang waiting in Rome airport after a long flight from Hong Kong. His escort is running late and he is starving, and rightfully so because if airplane food sucks today, can you imagine how horrible it would’ve been 41 years ago? He begins to search for a place to eat when he spots a little girl holding an ice cream cone, and what happens next is something that I never saw coming, and I’m sure everyone out there would agree with me.

He taps the girl on the shoulder, and when she turns around to face him, he motions with his hand putting the ice cream in his mouth with a humongous grunt! She naturally runs off screaming “Mommy!!” And, if you’re anything like me, you’ve paused the movie at this point because you’re on the floor in tears of laughter.

There are many more funny moments in Way Of The Dragon, but it was this one that was definitive because it immediately showed Bruce with a wicked sense of humour and the ability to poke fun at himself.

Classic!
