Bruce Lee's attack speed was too fast during the filming of "Enter the Dragon" in 1973

In 1973, Shi Jian and Bruce Lee traveled together to a small island off Hong Kong, which became the filming location for their classic movie "Enter the Dragon." In this film, Shi Jian played the role of Mr. Han, the main antagonist. Since Shi Jian and Bruce Lee were already acquainted, Bruce Lee invited him to take on the role, which Shi Jian gladly accepted. Shi Jian's martial arts style belongs to the Northern School of boxing. Although he was not as fast as Bruce Lee, he was also a renowned master in the film industry. On the set, Bruce Lee was explaining the essentials of a move to the foreign actor Jim Kelly in English. When Bruce Lee said "OK," Shi Jian mistakenly thought it was a signal to start filming and launched an attack on Bruce Lee, causing a minor injury to Bruce Lee's mouth corner. This was an unintentional misunderstanding. Shi Jian immediately apologized to Bruce Lee, who responded with his characteristic magnanimity, stating that it was not a big issue. Their relationship was not affected by this incident, and after a brief 15-minute rest, Bruce Lee returned to the set to continue filming the movie. Although some people interpreted this episode as evidence that Shi Jian's martial arts skills surpassed those of Bruce Lee, in reality, while Shi Jian was indeed a martial arts master, he still fell short of Bruce Lee in terms of practical combat ability. This incident actually reflected more on the unexpected nature of filming and the mutual respect between the two actors.
