Talk:Bruce Lee

Cause of Death

Lee used polyphasic sleep for most of his life, this could have caused unforeseen complications or chemical imbalances in serotonin, which could cause a hypersensitivity to drugs found in Equagesic. This is OR though, try to find some sources suggesting it. 99.236.221.124 (talk) 04:19, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

I found something, doesn't suggest what you said. I'll wait until you have a source for me to conclude.Iamthemanofthehouse (talk) 19:41, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

I asked Gun Powder Ma To stop being a Dick so you guys can finally get something done. Someone here makes you guys look like children arguing here.Mikimouseshoes (talk) 03:02, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Where are all these red-links suddenly coming from? Are you from the communist front? Gun Powder Ma (talk) 10:46, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Iamthemanofthehouse and Mikimouseshoes are sockpuppets and I did not find any reliable sources (but some sources) of Bruce Lee with Polyphasic sleep.Imperial Monarch (D•R) 07:13, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Nonsensical sentence

In the Wing Chun section of this Bruce Lee article, it says 'After a year into his Wing Chun training, most of Yip Man's other students refused to train with Lee after they learnt of his ancestry (his mother was of half-German ancestry) as the Chinese in America generally were against teaching their martial arts techniques to non-Asians.[ The bit that doesn't make sense is the part about chinese in america not wanting to teach non-asians. Bruce wasn't in America, he was in Hong Kong. It should read: as the Chinese generally were against teaching their martial arts techniques to non-Asians. If the article is to stay the same, then we'll need proof that Yip Man's student's were concerned about what pleases Americans. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.106.216.138 (talk) 13:03, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Game of death 2 was not a bruce lee film. You should include Marlowe in his filmography because Game of death 2 [though you do mention it] was just stock footage. I could make a Bruce Lee film that way and there have been Bruceploitation films like that where they have stock footage of him from previous films including footage of his funeral how fucking sick.

Nationality: Chinese American

This article needs a proper introduction because it doesn't have one. His nationality must be mentioned in the opening paragraph. Chuck Norris and Jackie Chan has one; and i'm wondering why Bruce Lee doesn't have one?.

I'm going to add his Chinese-American nationality in the opening paragraph, if people don't mind. He was a Chinese-American of Hong-Kong heritage. He was born in the U.S., but was raised as a Chinese, and that makes him a Chinese American. What do you think? Chinese or American for introduction?--StreetfighterAkuma talk 05:05, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Here is one of many references describing Bruce Lee's Chinese American nationality. http://www.asianweek.com/2009/05/08/chinese-american-hero-bruce-lee/ http://www.freemooviesonline.com/magazine/cinema/actors-and-actresses/bruce-lee-the-master-of-kung-fu.html --StreetfighterAkuma talk 07:25, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

As a Hong Konger I would disagree with the term Chinese American. He was certainly an American, this is undisputable. The fact that his parents were from Hong Kong makes him entitled to Right of Abode in Hong Kong (in those days right to land). No where did it say that Bruce Lee was Chinese. As China does not recognize dual nationality and Bruce Lee was an American passport holder he was certainly fully American with the right to live in Hong Kong. To address how Bruce Lee was raised, Americans are free to be raised in any way that they please. If you go to some kids with a yellow face in Long Beach, California and call them Chinese they would likely tell you that they are American.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.132.167.14 (talk • contribs)

I think "Chinese American" is correct in the same way as "African American" but Chinese as in "raised Chinese" is more debatable as Hong Kong differs greatly from mainland China. --Nate^t/_c 13:45, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

You can't compare those "kids with a yellow face in Long Beach, California" to Bruce Lee, as Lee was raised in HK and the fact that he did returned back to HK for good in 1971.

The most important thing is he always considered himself as Chinese. In all of his movies, he was never an American, that clearly explained everything.Undefeatedcooler (talk) 13:30, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

What was Bruce Lee's height?

The article quotes Bruce Lee's wife stating that he had a weight around 72 kg, but what was his height? Nowhere in this article do I find mention of this simple statistic. I hope some knowledgeable person enlightens us on this fact. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wargamer (talk • contribs) 21:32, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
