Illegal Fight With Bruce Lee Planted an Unexpected Surprise for Chuck Norris in 1972
Lee aspired to have the fight sequence against the backdrop of the Colosseum in Rome. He made enormous efforts to materialize his vision due to restrictions at the world-famous tourist spot. As a matter of fact, he hadn’t thought about movies and acting until 1964.

Acting was never a part of The Little Dragon’s plan. He happened to be discovered by a hair stylist in 1964. Later, he went on to make history by taking his martial arts techniques to a global stage through cinema. One of his phenomenal performances is the climax fight between him and Chuck Norris.
The martial arts legend succumbed to a tragic death a year after the movie’s release, thus, putting an end to the numerous spectacular stunts he had performed in his lifetime. Unquestionably, Lee’s legacy, philosophy, and teachings are here to stay and fans are grateful beyond words.
