In 1971, Bruce Lee in Jiahe Company, for the first time as the protagonist participated in "Tangshan Big Brother", because the original director Wu Jiajun was not good at the shooting of kung fu films, halfway through the film, he left the burden and ran, the company was not optimistic about this film, found Luo Wei, who was also not very famous at the time, to come out to save the scene, after the film was released, it actually obtained more than three million box office, refreshing the Hong Kong box office record, a film became popular actor Bruce Lee at the same time, but also let the director Luo Wei in the company received attention.

Seeing that Bruce Lee's reputation gradually grew, Luo Wei declared himself to be Bruce Lee's master outside, it was he who brought Bruce Lee up, if it were not for him, Bruce Lee would still give an obscure little minions, which would have such achievements, the more such words were said, the more widely spread, it did not take long to reach Bruce Lee's ears, Bruce Lee who heard these words was very uncomfortable, immediately found Luo Wei to confront, the two argued and had contradictions, but the company did not care about these, While the iron was hot, they arranged for the two to cooperate in a movie, that is, the later "Jingwumen", which was released and once again broke the record of the Hong Kong box office.

Don't say it's Hong Kong, the streets and alleys of the country are discussing the sound of "Jingwumen", originally a thing worth everyone's happiness, Bruce Lee and Luo Wei are not happy, there has been a contradiction before, this time because of the box office success whose credit quarreled, one person is not willing to give in, and finally the two people are not happy and dispersed, Bruce Lee listened to the rumors outside, and then recalled the words that Luo Wei said, for a while he quit from Jiahe and set up his own company with his friend Zou Wenhuai. He created a movie of his own, which is his later self-directed "Raptors Across the River".
In order to highlight his difference, Bruce Lee decided not to use the Hong Kong director's routine, but in a more innovative way, really show the charm of Chinese kung fu to the audience to present the real martial arts scene, Bruce Lee himself is a legendary character, the film he created can also be said to be very legendary, this is the first Hong Kong film film filmed in Europe, perhaps serious about the cause, maybe want to prove themselves with everyone, so there is this decision, it turns out that Bruce Lee is the guarantee of the box office, after the release of "Raptors Across the River", It has won a high box office of more than five million, and once again broke the record of the Box Office of Hong Kong films.
The cinema scene can be said to be grand, the movie release time, large and small movie theaters are crowded, all with the tickets of "Raptors Across the River" are waiting, there are too many people in line, the cinema almost all the schedules are given to "Raptors Across the River", or crowded, can only invite volunteers to maintain order, so you should be able to imagine the grand situation at that time.
The most impressive thing in the movie is the Colosseum competition, the shooting under the long lens, the truth of the kung fu in the movie is presented to the audience, this is Bruce Lee's innovation for the film, but also makes this section more exciting, in fact, at the beginning Bruce Lee chose the opponent is Joe Lewis, he is a heavyweight world champion, founded the American professional boxing competition, as Bruce Lee's one-handed training person, won more than a dozen championships, the road to the competition has been smooth, should have a certain idol baggage, So there is no way to accept the plot of being defeated by Bruce Lee in "Raptors Across the River", so such a character can only find someone else.
Bruce Lee found the later Chuck, as soon as he opened his mouth, he showed that I wanted to defeat you in the film and beat you to death, but this is a unique fight shooting, after starring in must be remembered by everyone, do you want to play you to consider it, did not expect Chuck directly agreed, the actor chose well, but the venue is also a problem, want to enter the Colosseum shooting, naturally need the approval of the Roman government, after a long period of request, only authorized to go in to shoot the qualifications, but the time is very tight, Just three hours in the morning.
So Bruce Lee decided to rehearse this scene outside first, every detail has been tested more than a dozen times, it took three days to find the best state, immediately after entering the Colosseum, it began to shoot immediately, even if it took so long to prepare, rehearsed so many times, it was inevitable that there would be mistakes when the filming officially began, Bruce Lee had an action that was not controlled and directly hit Chuck, Bruce Lee immediately stopped apologizing, did not expect Chuck not to care, and said that the next time he hit, don't stop, so it is more real, It is in this way that the cooperation between the two is more and more tacit, and the clip in the Colosseum is also very smooth, shooting the effect that everyone is satisfied with.
Sure enough, as Bruce Lee said, after the film was released, because of the relationship between this scene, Chuck sucked countless fans, and then also entered Hollywood to become a martial arts superstar, Joe Lewis who saw this situation did not know whether he regretted it, if he agreed to participate, then such an achievement was his, and then he also tried to enter Hollywood, but without the blessing of the film and the guidance of Bruce Lee's martial arts, it was not outstanding among the martial arts players, Chuck's success, and "Raptors Across the River" by Joe Lee. Lewis could only have a share of envy.
Bruce Lee's film will always have his own characteristics, after the wonderful martial arts shots will have different deep meanings, after watching "Raptor Across the River", will be deeply impressed by the indomitable spirit of the characters, there is also the feelings for the Chinese nation, there is no twist and turn, is to integrate martial arts into the movie, tell us our feelings for China in the most direct way, let us feel the charm of Chinese kung fu, but also pass on such a spirit, let the world see the power of China.
