I thought it was pretty much the same thing that happened to his son, Brandon. Some freak accident on set where a real weapon was used instead of a prop.
i heard that Brandons death was caused by a piece of a blank round fired from a gun when they were doing that shooting scene on the table. errr yeah thats what i heard.

hmmm never heard that one.
well thats all fine and dandy but i want to know how Bruce died. anyone ever see "Dragon: the Bruce Lee story"? i think about 75% of that movie is all fiction. "mysterious coma" bah!!
Actually it wasn't a real bullet, just a leftover shard:

Brandon Lee (died 31 March 1993)
A stunt gone wrong during the filming of The Crow cost the son of Bruce Lee his life. A blank fired from a .44 magnum revolver felled him. He died hours later in hospital. The metal tip of one of the dummy bullets had somehow pulled loose from its brass casing. When the dummies were unloaded and replaced with blanks, the metal tip remained behind in the gun's cylinder. As soon as the blank went off, its explosive force propelled the dummy tip through the gun barrel -- and into Lee's body.

As for Bruce:

There are many theories over Bruce Lee's death - many of them pure fantasy. The official autopsy, carried out in Hong Kong, states that Bruce was hypersensitive to a drug contained in a painkiller that Bruce had taken for a headache earlier in the day. This caused a blood vessel to fatally burst in his brain
very informative psycojester thanks. now how bout Bruce?

Beck pretty much nailed it, but here is a good link anyway.
The man had a way with words, no?

Brandon Lee's character, Eric Draven, was shot and fell through a window to his death. That may be where this misconception came from.
The movie was not finished at the time of his death, so the directors used stunt doubles, some cgi and special shots to complete the movie.
If i'm not mistaken, what they did was essentially paste his face over the double's body. Everytime I see that scene it looks flawless, kudos to their CGI people.

This is essentially a Buddhist philsophy - I would assume he picked this up from his Chinese heritage. Anyhow, the philsophy urges people to live their lives to the fullest, every day, as if they could die at any moment - and if they were to die, to have no regrets because of how they lived.
Bruce was a great martial arts actor. He was also a very good martial artist, but not nearly as accomplished as many would believe.
He was not a particularly good fighter and in truth would have had his butt handed to him by Allakhazam 9 times out of 10.
Tacosid

thats a good statement, that would be very interesting to see who bruce stands up against to all the fighters in the world.
im a very big fan of bruce to, great actor and martial artist.
to bad he is gone :(
On that Subject <shall stay away from the Norris vs Lee arguement, i think it would be to close to call>
Of all the modern Martial artist Segal <while a total prick> is supposed to be a mean SoB and Aikedo is a pretty hard style to come out on top against.
Van Damn is a ***** and has mde most of his money out of the flexiblity of his groin more than anything.
Jet Li and Jackie Chan in his hayday would have been a test for anyone although thier size would be against them.
But if i had to put money of any that i have mentioned in a match with the Gracies <of UFC fame.> i think i would come out a few dollars lighter

Wasn't Allakhazam a student of Bruce Lee?
So if he could truly beat him, it would just be a case of the student surpassing the master, which is a sign of good teaching

Li's pretty damn good - you don't become a regular champion of China if you're just so-so.
Chan (in his prime) out of any would be the one to have given Lee a run for his money - he's the only one that would've been able to match Lee's speed.

Obviously you guys dont know too much about Bruce Lee.
Saying Allakhazam beat Lee 9 out of 10 times shows a lot of ignorace.
What made Bruce Lee so great was his dedication to martial arts. He probably practiced it more, and took it more seriously than any other person at those times.
He knew the importance of physical training. He's been able to knock out sumo wrestlers with one punch. Not only did he do physical training but he had the mental training. Bruce Lee believed in doing whatever it takes to win a fight. And the way how he fights is nearly reflexive. You think about punching or kicking someone in the groin, he just does it. In Bruce Lee's movie they have to put him in slow motion to capture him, because if they let it go at full speed, he is practically a blue and it doesn't look fluid.
Renowned martial artists give Bruce Lee not only a lot of credit, but were afraid to go in the ring against him. His speed, and power was something to respect. During his time, many people would walk up to Bruce Lee and challenge him for a fight, studios in Hong Kong even offered anyone a motion picture shot if they could beat Bruce Lee. No one was successful, bigger guys, small guys, tall guys, they all lost.
Bruce Lee practically invented the UFC. At least it's concept. But even the UFC has it's limitation and does not fill in the idea of what a "Real Fight" is to Bruce Lee.

No, sorry. It's not a religion, faith in Bruce isn't enough. 140 pound guys aren't the best fighters in the world, period. Most skill maybe, fastest maybe, but still would end up being choked out in about three minutes by some random guy name Gracie.

Sure it is. Just not enough to make something fact. Same argument here.

Saying that he beat him would be ignorant. Seeing as they never fought. But saying that Chuck could not beat Bruce nine times out of ten disregards the laws of physics. Moreover I would ask you to show me one shread of evidence that Bruce was even an adequate fighter. Fighting sequences from "enter the dragon" do not count.
What made Bruce Lee so great was his dedication to martial arts. He probably practiced it more, and took it more seriously than any other person at those times.
In this you could not possibly be serious. During this period such martial artists as Kenwa Mebuni, Tatsuo Shimabuku, Taira Shinken and many, many others were training every day in relative seclusion on Okinawa alone. Do you seriously think that a hollywood star could devote more of his life to martial training than a rice farmer in japan? This has to be one of the most ignorant claims ever to be put in type on this forum.
He knew the importance of physical training.
Yeah, so did Lou Ferigno.
He's been able to knock out sumo wrestlers with one punch.
Urban Legend. Moreover if this did exist, was the sumo wrestler attempting to mangle mr. Lee at the time or was he just standing there? Just for the record, if A sumo wrestler allowed me to hit him without blocking I could knock him out too.
Not only did he do physical training but he had the mental training.
Karate is the training of three arrows. Mental, Physical and Spiritual. ALL martial artists go through this type of training unless their sensei is an idiot.
Bruce Lee believed in doing whatever it takes to win a fight.
Yeah, it sure looked that way from his movies. Once again, how about linking me an article on his actual fighting prowess.
And the way how he fights is nearly reflexive.
As opposed to other martial artists? I suppose the rest of the world fights in a slow spasmotic way.
You think about punching or kicking someone in the groin, he just does it.
How many people did bruce kick in the balls that were not a part of a choreographed scene? Geez. I suppose you think that Stone Cold Steve Austin is a righteously good fighter too right?
In Bruce Lee's movie they have to put him in slow motion to capture him, because if they let it go at full speed, he is practically a blue and it doesn't look fluid.
Maybe if they were filming him with a 16mm film.
Renowned martial artists give Bruce Lee not only a lot of credit, but were afraid to go in the ring against him.
Lee was not a good fighter. He never won much of anything. He was an actor. His fight sequences were not real.
His speed, and power was something to respect.
So were some of his one liners as the side kick to the "Green Hornet"
During his time, many people would walk up to Bruce Lee and challenge him for a fight, studios in Hong Kong even offered anyone a motion picture shot if they could beat Bruce Lee.
So you are saying that if some gomer would have sucker punched Bruce Lee and could not act at all he would have had a full movie contract? Haha!
Siskel: Jimminy Christmas Ebert! The main character from this movie had all of the thespian talents of Popeye. I give "Sucker punch back streets" two thumbs down.
No one was successful, bigger guys, small guys, tall guys, they all lost.
So basically Hong Kong studios put a bounty on Bruce Lee. Then on top of his massively busy schedule of shooting films, being a father, training in a more intense fashion than any japanese master and everything else...he had to spend a goodly chunk of his time fending himself off from street punks trying to land a movie contract in Hong Kong? Ok. You sold me. Bruce Lee was the baddest man to ever live.

Email this last snippet to the UFC. I am sure they would want to pay royalty checks to Bruce's family.

Shame he didn't have a big Allakhazam lokking 200+ pound bodyguard to protect him.
Oh wait.
Stop being an idiot. Just as Sugar Ray would never beat Tyson, Bruce wasnt' going to beat the big guys, just not happening.

if Bruce were to put some gloves on and try and box a big guy yeah i think Bruce would lose but Bruce wasnt a boxer now was he.
Bruce would chop a big guy down like a tree. after several blows to the knee Bruce would be yelling "TIMBER!!!". at 5'8" 140 lbs i think pound for pound Bruce was the best all out fighter there ever was.
