Bruce Lee's life was huge and played a very important role in the promotion of "Chinese Kung Fu". Bruce Lee had already seen countless imitators during his lifetime, and after Bruce Lee's sudden death on July 20, 1973, it set off a wave of Bruce Lee imitations around the world.
1, He Zongdao
Born in Taiwan in 1950, Ho Tsung-do studied martial arts since childhood and worked as a stuntman in Taiwan and Hong Kong in the early days. Known as "Bruce Lee second", Ho's face is similar to Bruce Lee's, and his kung fu is also good, especially to imitate Bruce Lee's movements and expressions when fighting.
After Bruce Lee's death in 1976, Ho starred in the film "The Legend of Bruce Lee" in honor of Bruce Lee, which was highly acclaimed, and soon he starred in several martial arts movies under the stage name "Bruce Li".
2, Tang Long
Real name Kim Tae-jung, born in South Korea in 1943, Korean actor, kung fu movie star, his appearance is also somewhat similar, leg kung fu is really very good.
After Bruce Lee's death, Tang Long took over the rest of "Game of Death", and then starred in the movie "Tower of Death" as Bruce Lee's stand-in and Bruce Lee's younger brother Li Zhenguo, in fact, there was no Bruce Lee in the movie "Tower of Death", all of which were Tang Long's stand-ins.
Tang Long's kung fu is indeed very good, imitating Bruce Lee is also very easy, but "Game of Death" did not publicly use the stand-in Tang Long that year, because of the signing of the contract, he could not meet the reporter and hold a press conference, so that the film left after the end.
It is said that in the 1980s, he had lived in seclusion in the United States, and has not been heard from since, and now he is in his 70s if he is still alive.
3, Lu Xiaolong
Lui Xiaolong, real name Huang Jianlong, from Macau, adjacent to Hong Kong, was originally a kung fu instructor, good at Hong Kong, and in the early 1970s, he became an actor at the Shaw Film Company in Hong Kong, participating in shaw's early films.
In the 1980s, he filmed a number of kung fu films that imitated Bruce Lee's movements, and when he was young, Lu Xiaolong was athletic, tough and fierce, simple and direct, and indeed very similar to Bruce Lee's style.
4, Chen Guokun
In 2001, Stephen Chow's "Shaolin Soccer" became popular, and the goalkeeper "Ghost Shadow Catcher" played by Chen Guokun in the film also attracted the attention of many people because of his appearance similar to Bruce Lee.
In 2008, he played "Bruce Lee" in the TV series "The Legend of Bruce Lee", becoming the first Hong Kong actor to broadcast the TV series Male No. 1 in a prime time set on CCTV. The image of "Bruce Lee" played by Chen Guokun has also begun to penetrate the hearts of the people, and indeed the appearance is too similar, and it is known as the person who most resembles Bruce Lee in history.
The above 4 imitations of Bruce Lee are indeed very similar, and each has its own characteristics. But Bruce Lee had one thing that they could never imitate.
That was the look in Bruce Lee's eyes.
Bruce Lee's eyes are often domineering and invincible, full of deterrence, and sometimes it feels like just looking at Bruce Lee's eyes is chilling and full of murderous spirit.
This kind of look is really not something that anyone can imitate, and for many years, almost no one can imitate it!
