"He almost killed me!" In 1973, Stallone challenged Bruce Lee in Los Angeles, and he practiced boxing and fitness all year round, thinking that Bruce Lee was short and not beaten at all, so the two started a big fight, and the result was unbelievable!
In the 70s of the last century, it was the period when kung fu movies were all the rage in Hollywood.
At that time, the two hottest movie superstars were undoubtedly Bruce Lee and Stallone, one was a representative of Eastern martial arts, and the other was the embodiment of Western power. And their encounter stirred up a legendary story in that era.
It was a movie studio in Los Angeles, and Bruce Lee was there to promote his new film, and he was already an international superstar, a smash hit in the martial arts world.
Stallone was also filming for his new film on the set, and as a burly action star with unique skills, he had a lot of criticism about the recent rise of Chinese kung fu stars.
Stallone has been brave since he was a child, and since high school, he has repeatedly performed miraculous feats in various strength events, such as holding discus and lifting weights.
Once upon a time, he was well-known in the film industry with his strong physique and outstanding fighting skills, so looking at Bruce Lee, a thin Asian man, he secretly scoffed, thinking that the other party couldn't even survive a round of his own.
Just do it, the arrogant Stallone took the initiative to talk to Bruce Lee, and as a kung fu enthusiast, he proposed a friendship challenge to Bruce Lee.
Who knew that Bruce Lee readily agreed, and the two agreed on a time and place, ready to fight off.
On the day of the competition, the majestic Stallone was like a fierce bison, while Bruce Lee was like a rickety boat, and the two formed a stark contrast. Onlookers snickered and waited for a good show.
As soon as the whistle sounded, Stallone immediately roared loudly and angrily, waving his arms like a crazy beast and pounced on Bruce Lee, he wanted to take advantage of the absolute advantage of height and weight to crush this egoistic Oriental master at the beginning.
But who would have thought that Bruce Lee's body was as vigorous as a swallow, and he avoided every blow he hit lightly, coming and going as freely as water.
Just when Stallone was ready to attack, trying to defeat the enemy with one blow, only to hear a crisp sound of "pop", Bruce Lee had already kicked out his signature leg method. This kick hit Stallone in the abdomen, and it was so powerful that it almost knocked him to the ground!
There was an uproar in the audience, everyone was stunned by the strength of Bruce Lee's kick, Stallone covered his stomach, lying on the ground in pain and coughing, unbelievable that he was so easily subdued by Bruce Lee.
Just when everyone thought the game was over, Bruce Lee walked up to Stallone, half-squatted on his knees, and dragged him up from the ground. This scene made everyone awe-inspired, the originally arrogant and rude big man was easily subdued by this skinny Oriental fighter, which was really unexpected.
Stallone himself was completely impressed by Bruce Lee's martial arts, and later he mentioned this fight in interviews many times, and was amazed by Bruce Lee's amazing strength and speed!
In fact, this is not the first time that Bruce Lee has shown extraordinary martial arts, as he was already in his early 20s, he has already competed with many karate masters in Los Angeles, and has won dozens of black belts alone, demonstrating his extraordinary strength.
The level of martial arts is often not all about the strength of the appearance, the real master is hidden in the introverted.
Later, Stallone began to focus on his acting career, and was nominated for Oscars many times and finally won the award, becoming a legend in the field of action movies, and Bruce Lee's prestige has never been dimmed in the hearts of the world.
