So the takeaway is, Bruce was abusing cocaine , most likely daily, and on the day of his death, again abusing cocaine , resulted in the cerebral edema, that this time left untreated , proved fatal. That makes total sense sadly.
Ya, he was, but what if he took a big thump on the head, and didn't tell anybody, for fear of it getting out, that he was hittable. Or maybe he fell doing kicks n rocked his head. Just ideas, possibilities. 💯😁
@@JKDVIPERThen MMA fighters would be dropping dead everywhere if "getting bopped" on the head was so deadly And it would also mean that Bruce was incredibly fragile if that's all it took to kill him.
Great 2 part discussion. If only we could get Linda’s perspective while she is still here with us. That would be a discussion to watch. Thank you Kung Fu Genius for this 2 parter. I’ll be watching it multiple times to get a better understanding. By the way, your side kick has an attitude and makes your show even better. Thank you again!
Linda has no incentive to set the record straight. For one, she would be implicating herself if she ever acknowledged the drugs. Also she is very much financially incentivized to maintain the illusion of the mythic Bruce Lee figure in pop culture - an idol which is so easily monetized to suckers.
No chance of any of the Lee family coming out on this one. Linda Lee doesn't know what to say now and she was involved anyway. Also she committed perjury and bullshitted the fans for nearly 50 years.

As an ex hardcore drug abuser ( 25+ years ) i can definitely confirm the combination of low body weight with single digit body fat, dehydration and long term cronic cocaine use is the perfect recipe for all Bruces symptoms/death 100%.
@@TheKungFuGenius more to do with the behaviors involved than specifically a cause, as an appetite suppressant cocaine users also are not really aware of hydration levels until it is a problem, at least that is my experience. When I look at the circumstance and environment around Bruce at that first incident in the recording studio it screamed dehydration, not such a problem for a normal person, mabey uncomfortable, add in some cronic cocaine use with low body fat percentage and wammo perfect storm, hes lucky it wasn't a hemorrhagic stroke, or was it? Hmmm
@@TheKungFuGeniusBruce was most likely more susceptible to dehydrated due to his sweat glands being removed back in November 1972. This would also explain why his kidneys were not able to function properly or overloaded . They are used for getting rid of toxins and if his sweat glands were removed , then he was not able to cool off and sweat out toxins . Therefore his kidneys also had to work more and also were overloaded from cocaine abuse and then his brain swells because kidneys are failing too during overdosing cocaine. Just an observation. Not a doc
@andym.441 the removal of the sweat glands in the armpit area has no bearing on hydration. This is a long debunked myth. Where was the lack of kidney function? I missed it in the autopsy. Can you point it out to me?
a great job kfg and host! very kean synopsis, details and perspectives. cheers from italy, Robert. ps; the video is fine, i had been watching your last part 1, and it was way over 100f here, again my apologies for that neg rant.😀
Thanks for Part 2… I didn’t know Bruce had previously taken equagesic. Got to agree on GoD: It would have needed reshoots. I think Bruce would have realised that the best way to express JKD was through action rather than words, just as he did in his fight with Chuck. Looking forward to Part 3. If it’s not already done, it would be really cool to hear your thoughts on the movements and motives of Bruce et al on July 20th. I made the mistake of mapping out the key locations of that night (Bruce’s house, Betty’s apartment, the hospitals and restaurant) and it is absolutely bizarre. In taking Bruce to QE hospital instead of Baptist it is entirely feasible the ambulance passed right past his house… did it? If so, was there a reason? And down the rabbit hole I go…
A few weeks ago when I mentioned to you about the photos at Francis Xavier at the reunion event or whatever it was. He has noticeable triceps and size in those photos. He looks noticeably more “full” to me anyway, but within a few months he lost all of that.
@@samarahband that’s rapid muscular atrophy in such a short spare of time. I think Bruce might have been the most muscular he ever was in those pictures
"It was the triads..." haha. Bruce probably WAS a triad, or at least an honorary member. I mean really, he was a Hong Kong street punk in his youth and teenage years, ran around with "gangs"'in Kowloon, was friends with people like Chan Wai Man, even Bolo Yeung was a known triad back then, and in his adult years was importing (and possibly distributing) large amounts of hard drugs into Hong Kong. I wouldn't be surprised if Bruce was distributing to some of these individuals. Let's face it, in real life Bruce was less like his character Lee in Enter the Dragon, and more like Han. His biggest mistake was indulging in the product, and since he didn't have the physical constitution for heavy coke use, the drugs are what ultimately brought him down. A sad and cautionary tale! And I'm sure that the triads around Bruce would've preferred him alive, particularly with his American drug connection.
Man! I truly admire your in-depth study in wing chun & actors of kung-fu movies!!! It blows my mind!!!! & by the way that wing chun book you wrote has the most intense pictures of the wing chun dummy ever!!!
So good. Always wondered about his final months and days and if all this could have been prevented even since being kid in the late 70's. I wonder how aware Betty was about the cocaine? Though if he done so much cocaine wouldn't he have the cocaine nose? There are the big mysteries of life and what killed Bruce Lee is one. All the countless documentaries, TV Show analysis and nothing really made sense. Hearing these episodes and now knowing the drug letter history we have an exact idea that fits and makes sense.
Man it all makes sense now as to why Bruce died, but I didn't realize how bad Bruce might have been addicted. It was then only a matter of time and if it hadn't been in July had he taken his Delantin??(if I remember correctly)medication it would have been shortly thereafter. Or if Bruce would have experienced the impact of Enter The Dragon it might have actually gotten worse thereafter. First the immense pressure of making it in the West and then what would have been the Crazy demand across the world for new movies and interviews and talkshows. No mortal human could sustain this no matter how strong you are. The price was too much,too demanding and Bruce might have longed for those early years too, just teaching others and doing some demonstrations from time to time. And having more time with his spouse and children. Too much strife especially in his last year
Dr. Langford passed in 2020, almost exactly one year before the drug letters were exposed. He took his knowledge of Bruce’s Lee’s drug use to his grave.
@KFG I maintain The Drug Letters filled in the gaps of what was so obvious... Given your private discussions you've had with biographers and researchers have you heard that originally small packets of white powder were found on his person the day he died? I'm 60 yrs old and recall reading this back in 73 but that story went away...
Trying to piece together the headache being the sign of cerebral edema makes sense enough…now imagine if the exact same event that happened on May 10th, happened on July 20 (the vomiting and convulsion), and they managed to get him to the hospital “in time”…in any case, it’s a very unfortunate situation…I’d like to to think that had Bruce survived, he would’ve “learned his lesson” and at MINIMUM, cut down on his consumption, and at MAXIMUM, stopped completely… (Edit: It isn’t clear if he had seizures on the 20th, as I later heard)
Yes, you are right - it is clear. What seems to be “clear” as much as we can speculate is that the onset of cerebral edema happened much faster on July 20th than May 10th.
Enter the Dragon was released on July 26 in Hong Kong the exact same version that was released 25 years later as a so called uncut version, that HK print was more or less enhanced with improved picture/sound quality.
The extreme low body fat & sweat gland removal also was very damaging... He had to be high to even consider such a procedure. I know a plastic surgeon here in Chicago and had a quick conversation with him about such a procedure and he was very dismissive of the thought of such a thing. But that was 50 yrs ago AND in HK. Man what a a roller coaster. Keep up the good "STUFFS", wink!
The part that is most puzzling to me is, why did he stay in Betty Appartment when he had the headache. Surely with the events of May 10th, he should have suspected it was more serious than a usual headache. And was actually a lot more serious? Thanks for the great videos. Much appreciated
That’s a good question and one that I thought about myself. The only thing I can think of is that on July 20 while he was having brain swelling he was not also experiencing the other symptoms he had on May 10 which may have given him the impression that it was just a bad headache. For example, there was no discussion of him vomiting or having seizures on July 20.
Great podcast/video, as a life long Bruce Lee fan I found this absolutely riveting. However, I must take one issue with your comments about Game of Death in which you state that had it been finished with Bruce it would have been a complete mess, I don’t believe this for one second. Bruce had completed 3 successful films at this stage and had just completed shooting Enter The Dragon, there’s no way Bruce would have put out a mess of a film, he knew what worked and what didn’t work for his audience. Game of Death was incomplete as far as ideas go, he had ideas in draft form, the fights were coming together, I’m sure that the reason for the flurry of meetings about Game of Death towards the end of his (Bruce) life was to start putting things together especially now that he (in his mind) had a lot more time to devote to Game Of Death which would have ended up as a coherent well worked out and no doubt successful project
When you’ve seen the uncut extra shots… I have no doubt the fight scenes would have rocked, but the little dialogue I’ve seen was preachy and silly. I’m ok with you disagreeing however.
@@TheKungFuGenius Thank You for your response and yes, it's fine for us to disagree, however, I've earnt in life not to make final assumptions on someone else's unfinished creative works. I used to work in the Ent. business at a high level including working with some of the industry's biggest stars, many of their great and successful projects that we all see, and, in most cases love were total shit shows halfway through the process, had the creative passed away or said projects been abandoned, most people would have had similar views to Game of Death as you have but i guess we'll never know........Anyway, point made
I'm not sure why the adrenal problem theory has to be thrown out. His drug use could have just made that problem worse. You said it yourself - His muscles had become atrophied from using so much cortisone. There weren't many Dr's notes on it - possibly because Bruce was getting it from Doctors without a prescription. After all, he had more than one Dr, and his main one wasn't aware of his behind-the-back use of cortisone when he was questioned about it after his death
I was told by a friend who had seizures that putting something in the mouth can keep them from biting their tongue. Which actually is bad because it causes damage to the teeth.
Alright!! This is fascinating to hear these letters. Quick question regarding Jimmy Wang Yu. He realeased a movie in 75 or 76 called The Man From Hong Kong which I saw when it was released tben but watched it just recently and my God it's bad!! I remember an episode where you mentioned if Bruce had lived one of the projects offered to him was a movie called The Man From Hong Kong where he would play a hired assassin(?). Do you know if the JWY movies was supposed to be that movie for Bruce? It's also interesting that in Way of the Dragon during the restaurant scene Wei Ping-Ao asks, "where's the man from Hong Kong". Thank you Sir...waiting in pt 3 of this!!
Wouldn't eating a hash brownie have helped with his nausea ? Also, like you mentioned, Bruce's symptoms were slightly different on May 10 and July 20. Nobody reported Bruce vomiting or having seizures on July 20.
I can speak on that, weed and brownies, definitely help nausea. They give em to cancer patients, its fully legal out here in my state. Way better for the body then drinking or gambling. As long as the person is doing healthy habits on the erb, its not too bad. Usually. 💯😁
He didn’t know about the cocaine! Otherwise, he would’ve blown it to the sky it with trumpets! He had to push the diuretics thing because he didn’t know why Bruce Lee couldn’t keep weight on. “Oh but the cortisone!” 🤦🏻♂️
Also Bleecker was by far not the first to expose the cannabis use. Alex Ben Block discussed it at length in his 1974 book. Bleecker might have been the first to out Baker as the drug mule (maybe) and to his credit he was the first one to know that something was fishy about Wu Ngan. Besides that it is no better than guess work in filling in the reasons for Bruce’s demise. But the cortisone! But the triads! But the diuretics!
@@TheKungFuGenius have u ever thought to reach out and invite Tom Bleeker on the podcast? It would be huge! He married Bruce's woman....thats a big shoe to fill for any man! He has personally replied to me in the past on positive comments i left on his channel and about his time with Brandon Lee. I was surprised when he did reply.
Yo I appreciate your knowledge of Bruce Lee. Please stop all of the cocaine jokes and side comments. No ones issues past or present should be the butt of jokes. This is constructive criticism not judgement. Thank you
Slam dunk, basically. Thank you for this. Gives me a lot of closure on causal. I wish Tom B. would, *in my best Dave Chapelle voice* STFU.😘 Love you guys. This is important for peeps to know. Don't fuck with powder ESPECIALLY nowadays.👊☯️
Nice! 0:38 it’s been a grip. 😃42:24 I have some personal experience with that head thing. What if Bruce rocked himself to death with those killer concussive hits, kicks, punches. Or, what if he was sparring and got hit? Maybe he took on a boxer at a gym or had a point karate fight. I'm just saying, what if Bruce took a big boof, and kept it quiet. 🌞💯can i click on patreon right here Alex? Ill take a look. 1:02 ya, he was very mild build. Youd never know unless you looked under the hood, he was rip/jacked striated underneath that outer layer. 💯
Great series! It's very well researched and very well put together! Please look into Bruce's use of unrefined Napolese Hashish. The side effects include convulsions, brain adema, brain swelling and death! This is what Bruce had in his pocket, when Dr. Langford asked him about recreational drug use. He warned Bruce not to use it again and that it could result in death. He was also convinced that Bruce would be hospitalized again. Bombshell! Bruce was a genetic female! Both he and Brandon had a female gait (Walk). It would be interesting to hear your take on this. Bruce also hailed from the Li family. They rank number 7, of the 13 Illuminati families. They are also known as the Dragon family and they rule over China. Excellent work! Thanks again!
Thank you for commenting! Based on some information I received last year from Hong Kong from people extremely close to the events of his death, I no longer care about the hash theory. It’s not relevant to his death.
@FURDOG1961 don’t sweat what people say in the comments, especially on this topic. The Nepalese hash has nothing to do with his death, but people keep beating this drum because they are missing the obvious component.
great stuff. i agree on all of your points. except, for one. i think Game of Death would have been better than Enter the Dragon. My favorite Bruce Lee film is actually not Enter the Dragon, but Way of the Dragon. And that film also didn't have a script. It's the people involve, steering the ship called movie that will make the movie what it is in the end. So, if Bruce Lee hadn't died and continued Game of Death, there is no doubt in my mind it would have been amazing. It's the people involve that makes a difference.
The fight scenes yes, the preachy dialogue we’ve seen… well Bruce is like star wars used to be - all new stuff was good stuff… but that’s not always the case.
To me it’s obvious in photo timeline comparisons that BL lost muscle mass in HK too. But he lost so much body fat too, so that he actually appeared to be more muscular in HK than in the 60s. Imagine if BL had actually been on a baby dose of steroids losing all of that body fat in HK without losing any of the muscle mass he brought with him from the States.
The problem is this is an assertion about a baby dose for which there is no evidence, not one letter to Baker mentioning steroids, not one doctors note, not one person claiming even to be the supplier… Nothing. It is a lot easier to keep muscle than it is to gain muscle. If Bruce was just mildly working out, which we know he was actually doing much more than that, maintaining his muscle mass would not be an issue. It’s easier to maintain that gain, that’s just sports physiology.
When u describe corruption that with paying the nurse for a better pillow & the firemen to do their job stuff. It sounds like pure capitalism without socialist elements 🤔
Sir, do you know about that interview with one of yipman's early students who talked about some curious details about yks, wsl and william chung and then some really disturbing things about bruce lee's father? Is there some truth to it?
Are you talking about Kwok Fu spewing a bunch of made up nonsense? Yeah, I saw that interview. When Yip Man left China for Hong Kong in 1949, he never went back. That meant he never saw his “original” students again, and more likely than not did not even communicate with them anymore. So with mainland China being a big brother surveillance state starting in the 50s and 60s, how did Kwok Fu manage to get all of these crazy stories when he did not even know the names of any of his teacher students until most likely after they became famous and his teacher died? Where was all this “information” coming from? Did he have access to Google in the 1950s and 60s? Was he on 50s era online chat rooms lurking for info? Pure nonsense. Claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
@@TheKungFuGenius yeah thats what i thought.. the guy was known self promoter as noted by LT in roots book. Haha.. But then the interviewer seem to have brought that topic up about bruce lee's father as if seeking confirmation from kwok fu.
He was balls deep in Ting pei when he got that headache, some have a cigarette after he grabbed an analgesic tablet and the rest is as they say history.
The funny thing is, we treat celebrities as if they must live so clean, and perfect, we establish a false narrative as to how they live, eat, breath practically. In reality, bruce was a hard knock older wiser dude then, he had lots of physical pain as well. I can speak from experience on his kind of training, it really rock the body something fierce. He had a type of punch, and kick, that used the whole body, spine, and it really shakes your guts up a bit. Just an idea. Maybe he bumped his head too i was saying to somebody else. ✨💯
Alex, have you watched the Autopsy last hours Bruce Lee episode? When I watched it I did some research and found real medical papers that describe the seemingly minor symptoms Bruce experienced in the ETD period to 20th July, through to brain swelling from adrenal crisis which seems to be what happened on May 10th and 20th July. Just wondering if you have have a reason to doubt the (seemingly logical) explanation that the long term cortisone injections and subsequent adrenal issues would explain why the oedema happened. I have just as limited knowledge of medicine as you do, but there’s just so much information online that corroborates the verdict given in the Autopsy tv show. Maybe you can talk about it in a future episode?
The so-called Cortizone injections don’t seem to be in his doctors notes for the last couple years of his life while he was living in Hong Kong. From the initial injections he got after his back injury, cortizone injections are not regularly referenced in these records, nor did they seem to come up as something in his inquest in which every doctor who dealt with him was sworn under oath to discuss these things openly. Also, given that they seemed desperate to try to cover up the source of his cerebral edema, had Cortizone injections been a regular thing that he was engaging in due to an injury I don’t see why they wouldn’t of just blamed that as the smoking gun to take the heat off the more nefarious things. Why weren’t Cortizone injections brought up at his inquest? Why is there seemingly a conspiracy to hide that but discuss the cannabis instead? Because there’s no evidence! A book is written in the 90s with a narrative people accept and then try to shoehorn it every time there’s a discussion about Bruce Lee. That’s the problem. It’s not about whether it’s logical or not, there are many logical things one could say Bruce “could have” been doing. His kidneys were clear during the autopsy and had normal function yet everyone screams that he was in massive adrenal crisis. Ok, fine. We now have 50 letters corroborating that he had a very intense cocaine habit, especially during the final time of his life. Cocaine when used regularly causes nearly every issue that Bruce Lee was having at the end of his life, from his weight loss, to his erratic, and sometimes violent outbursts, his facial twitches, and ultimately cerebral edema. Tom Bleecker did not know about the cocaine use, therefore had to come up with some other “smoking gun” to explain all of these issues and for him it was diuretics and Cortizone. If we follow Occam‘s razor in which we make the least amount of assumptions given what we know, on balance of evidence, we don’t need to insert things that he might’ve taken for which we don’t know when we know he was taking cocaine.
@@TheKungFuGenius Hello Alex, appreciate the long reply to my other comment which I have replied to. I am in no way trying to suggest I know anything and from a medical perspective I definitely have no idea whether the adrenal crisis thing could even be theoretically correct. I think some are saying (no clue if there’s a shred of evidence or not) that he would be getting the cortisone from a shady source maybe, since a credible doctor (nowadays at least) would know there a danger in overuse of cortisone and would not supply it for long term use. Keep up the great work! 👍
If we get a doctor script or note that Bruce was regularly injecting cortisone leading to kidney issues, I will totally add this to a list of factors. Until then it’s a needless assertion without evidence and can at this time be summarily dismissed. Thanks for commenting!
Following my previous comment below, I would suggest having another look at the Tom Bleeker video and ignore the fact he used the word “anabolic”. Just wondering if there’s a chance you might have glossed over the other info and threw the baby out with the bath water? Anyway, love the content and tell Dre the Dreison hypotheticals are long overdue😉😂
@@TheKungFuGenius Definitely not trying to insert any additional theories anywhere. Both my comments were from a point of view of “could the adrenal thing be the cause?” . It’s beyond doubt that Bruce was using the C since at least 1970. I was approaching it from a point of view of “could the medical expert on the TV show be correct + there seems to be lots of evidence that cortisone misuse (yes I understand we haven’t been shown this as evidence, but until your video, nobody knew about the C misuse) can cause things like change of skin colour etc. I’m a massive Bruce Lee fan and couldn’t care less about anything that isn’t the truth but I find it interesting to see if any particular theory might actually point to the truth. Anyway, I can’t let you get away with ignoring the main issue….. when are we getting the Dreison hypotheticals??? Hahaha. Keep up the great work on your channel sir!👍
44:00 to 45,15 is so damn right! Either team Bleecker, or team Polly, or team Shannon, or Team whoever. that's how 90% of his fans see it. One guy has to be right about everything, and the others are just wrong. I think all or most of them have some truths, and all together are the truth what caused his death.
My thing is… The repeating things is a huge red flag to me. Those witnesses (Maria Yi Bob Wall Kareem) said he had the amnesia… but yet he had amnesia & wasn’t concerned about it & wasn’t talking to his doc about it? Where are the records from his doctors saying “Bruce came in complaining of amnesia/repeating himself?” I haven’t heard any. And these witnesses to the amnesia say he was repeating himself but don’t seem to say that he mentioned to them “Listen. I’m scared about my mental health. I’m repeating myself & it scares me. Somethings wrong with me…” Or.. “Doc I have to admit, I’ve done all these drugs, could that be the reason i almost died?”… Nope! Instead he just DOESN’T admit to ANY doctor to having a poly-drug addiction that COULD’VE contributed to him almost dying May 10 and then goes “Well turns out I’m fine! Doc says I have the body of an 18 year old. Back to business!” As for the possibility that he OD’d, I’m not sure coke or any of those drug letter drugs will cause cerebral edema when overdosed, not to mention none of those were found in his system at the autopsy. So many puzzle pieces to his death just don’t come together. After the May incident it just seems like he just carries on as though everything’s fine instead of putting his life on pause to care for his health & make change to his lifestyle that could prevent that from happening again.
If you’re taking something that gives you “superpowers”, it’s not easy to assume that this same thing might also kill you. Also, if the secret of why he can outwork everyone else is out, he would no longer stand out either, so why spread the word? Just keep doing what you’re doing and soon you will be the highest paid oriental superstar in the US and in about a decade, you will have accumulated a 1980’s equivalent of $10M. He really was goal oriented.
Betty Ting Pei married sun yee on. Bosses son. Who has rumoured to Be Part of crimes too, eventhough hes an actor too. Betty was buddhist nun many years after their divource. I guess bcoz like some ppl say, he refused triad projects. Lo Wei son allegedly were The reason why their studio was driven away from bizz. These are some points existing, with much facts behind, but there is no like you say evidence. Peace and god bless
Thanks for your comment. The fact that Betty married Charles Heung in the years after her time with Bruce Lee, and that she briefly became a Buddhist nun , are equally irrelevant to the discussion. There are no signs of foul play in his autopsy, nor are there any poisons in his system. Linking the triads to anything related to his death just because some people around him knew or even worse, were later associated with triads is a point not worth making.
I'm 47 and since 9 have been a big Bruce Lee fan. I have to say, no film or documentary can match your podcasts. Great work!
Greetings from Hong Kong! That is high praise indeed. Thank you!
Chan Wai Man said no triad back then dared to mess with Bruce. We know today Superman doesn't exist but back then, Bruce's reputation was enormous.
I trust Chan Wai Man on these topics.
Haha

@@samarahband that’s rapid muscular atrophy in such a short spare of time. I think Bruce might have been the most muscular he ever was in those pictures
"It was the triads..." haha. Bruce probably WAS a triad, or at least an honorary member. I mean really, he was a Hong Kong street punk in his youth and teenage years, ran around with "gangs"'in Kowloon, was friends with people like Chan Wai Man, even Bolo Yeung was a known triad back then, and in his adult years was importing (and possibly distributing) large amounts of hard drugs into Hong Kong. I wouldn't be surprised if Bruce was distributing to some of these individuals. Let's face it, in real life Bruce was less like his character Lee in Enter the Dragon, and more like Han. His biggest mistake was indulging in the product, and since he didn't have the physical constitution for heavy coke use, the drugs are what ultimately brought him down. A sad and cautionary tale! And I'm sure that the triads around Bruce would've preferred him alive, particularly with his American drug connection.
If I had seen Bruce fall because of epilepsy I would have been shocked! Because he was super human to me as a kid!!!!!!!!
Man! I truly admire your in-depth study in wing chun & actors of kung-fu movies!!! It blows my mind!!!! & by the way that wing chun book you wrote has the most intense pictures of the wing chun dummy ever!!!
Thank you!!
Great video! Can't wait to see part 3 🙂🤘
So good. Always wondered about his final months and days and if all this could have been prevented even since being kid in the late 70's. I wonder how aware Betty was about the cocaine? Though if he done so much cocaine wouldn't he have the cocaine nose? There are the big mysteries of life and what killed Bruce Lee is one. All the countless documentaries, TV Show analysis and nothing really made sense. Hearing these episodes and now knowing the drug letter history we have an exact idea that fits and makes sense.
Man it all makes sense now as to why Bruce died, but I didn't realize how bad Bruce might have been addicted. It was then only a matter of time and if it hadn't been in July had he taken his Delantin??(if I remember correctly)medication it would have been shortly thereafter. Or if Bruce would have experienced the impact of Enter The Dragon it might have actually gotten worse thereafter. First the immense pressure of making it in the West and then what would have been the Crazy demand across the world for new movies and interviews and talkshows. No mortal human could sustain this no matter how strong you are. The price was too much,too demanding and Bruce might have longed for those early years too, just teaching others and doing some demonstrations from time to time. And having more time with his spouse and children. Too much strife especially in his last year
Dr. Langford passed in 2020, almost exactly one year before the drug letters were exposed. He took his knowledge of Bruce’s Lee’s drug use to his grave.
Alex Always On Point or At Least Very Reasonable in His Opinion
Love this content, thanks for doing what you do.
Glad you enjoy it!
@KFG for being one of the most photographed stars of his era why aren't there ANY images of Bruce and George Lazenby during those last days?🤔
No photos with his best buddy Tom Bleecker either
@@TheKungFuGeniusthat's because he didn't want Bruce to get bigger than Joe Rogan
Hahaha
It'd be super cool if the footage was found & uploaded of his final tv interview (July 5th)
Great video
Thanks!
@KFG I maintain The Drug Letters filled in the gaps of what was so obvious... Given your private discussions you've had with biographers and researchers have you heard that originally small packets of white powder were found on his person the day he died? I'm 60 yrs old and recall reading this back in 73 but that story went away...
Thank you! amazing podcast)
An apt comparison by box office would be ‘60’s John Wayne, Steve McQueen vs Samuel L Jackson & Robert Downey Jr. today.
Very good show😮
Trying to piece together the headache being the sign of cerebral edema makes sense enough…now imagine if the exact same event that happened on May 10th, happened on July 20 (the vomiting and convulsion), and they managed to get him to the hospital “in time”…in any case, it’s a very unfortunate situation…I’d like to to think that had Bruce survived, he would’ve “learned his lesson” and at MINIMUM, cut down on his consumption, and at MAXIMUM, stopped completely…
(Edit: It isn’t clear if he had seizures on the 20th, as I later heard)
Yes, you are right - it is clear. What seems to be “clear” as much as we can speculate is that the onset of cerebral edema happened much faster on July 20th than May 10th.
@TheKungFuGenius and it was very clear he hadn't LEARNED HIS LESSON.
Excellent episode.
Enter the Dragon was released on July 26 in Hong Kong the exact same version that was released 25 years later as a so called uncut version, that HK print was more or less enhanced with improved picture/sound quality.
My birthday
The extreme low body fat & sweat gland removal also was very damaging... He had to be high to even consider such a procedure. I know a plastic surgeon here in Chicago and had a quick conversation with him about such a procedure and he was very dismissive of the thought of such a thing. But that was 50 yrs ago AND in HK. Man what a a roller coaster. Keep up the good "STUFFS", wink!
The part that is most puzzling to me is, why did he stay in Betty Appartment when he had the headache. Surely with the events of May 10th, he should have suspected it was more serious than a usual headache. And was actually a lot more serious? Thanks for the great videos. Much appreciated
That’s a good question and one that I thought about myself. The only thing I can think of is that on July 20 while he was having brain swelling he was not also experiencing the other symptoms he had on May 10 which may have given him the impression that it was just a bad headache. For example, there was no discussion of him vomiting or having seizures on July 20.
He was HIGH... So was Betty. You don't often make good decisions in those moments.
Why did it take so long for betty to call ambulance And why call a movie producer instead ?
And with all that brandon lee died in a crazy way
Brandon Lee’s death has nothing to do with his father.
Wait for part four where I discuss your question!
Great podcast/video, as a life long Bruce Lee fan I found this absolutely riveting. However, I must take one issue with your comments about Game of Death in which you state that had it been finished with Bruce it would have been a complete mess, I don’t believe this for one second.
Bruce had completed 3 successful films at this stage and had just completed shooting Enter The Dragon, there’s no way Bruce would have put out a mess of a film, he knew what worked and what didn’t work for his audience. Game of Death was incomplete as far as ideas go, he had ideas in draft form, the fights were coming together, I’m sure that the reason for the flurry of meetings about Game of Death towards the end of his (Bruce) life was to start putting things together especially now that he (in his mind) had a lot more time to devote to Game Of Death which would have ended up as a coherent well worked out and no doubt successful project
When you’ve seen the uncut extra shots… I have no doubt the fight scenes would have rocked, but the little dialogue I’ve seen was preachy and silly. I’m ok with you disagreeing however.
@@TheKungFuGenius Thank You for your response and yes, it's fine for us to disagree, however, I've earnt in life not to make final assumptions on someone else's unfinished creative works. I used to work in the Ent. business at a high level including working with some of the industry's biggest stars, many of their great and successful projects that we all see, and, in most cases love were total shit shows halfway through the process, had the creative passed away or said projects been abandoned, most people would have had similar views to Game of Death as you have but i guess we'll never know........Anyway, point made
I'm not sure why the adrenal problem theory has to be thrown out. His drug use could have just made that problem worse. You said it yourself - His muscles had become atrophied from using so much cortisone. There weren't many Dr's notes on it - possibly because Bruce was getting it from Doctors without a prescription. After all, he had more than one Dr, and his main one wasn't aware of his behind-the-back use of cortisone when he was questioned about it after his death
The dubbing room was not tiny, it was quite big, it had a table in there with water available and usually someone was in the room with Bruce.
Great stuff!
I'm in with this, finally we get the truth 🙌
Great episode
Amazing content
I was told by a friend who had seizures that putting something in the mouth can keep them from biting their tongue. Which actually is bad because it causes damage to the teeth.
In 9th grade (many years ago) a student had a seizure and the teacher put his leather wallet in the kids mouth.
Alright!! This is fascinating to hear these letters. Quick question regarding Jimmy Wang Yu. He realeased a movie in 75 or 76 called The Man From Hong Kong which I saw when it was released tben but watched it just recently and my God it's bad!! I remember an episode where you mentioned if Bruce had lived one of the projects offered to him was a movie called The Man From Hong Kong where he would play a hired assassin(?). Do you know if the JWY movies was supposed to be that movie for Bruce? It's also interesting that in Way of the Dragon during the restaurant scene Wei Ping-Ao asks, "where's the man from Hong Kong". Thank you Sir...waiting in pt 3 of this!!
One of those films JWY did I believe was originally a Bruce vehicle but Bruce did not want to work with LW anymore.
Wouldn't eating a hash brownie have helped with his nausea ? Also, like you mentioned, Bruce's symptoms were slightly different on May 10 and July 20. Nobody reported Bruce vomiting or having seizures on July 20.
No idea about the nausea
I can speak on that, weed and brownies, definitely help nausea. They give em to cancer patients, its fully legal out here in my state. Way better for the body then drinking or gambling. As long as the person is doing healthy habits on the erb, its not too bad. Usually. 💯😁
Thank you for pointing out what I've been saying for 50 years: he took no Equagesic in May, so the "reaction to Equagesic" explanation makes no sense.
It’s surprising how few people saw that lack of connection between the two episodes
Im Team Tom Bleeker! They thought he was full of shit with the drugs years ago! He proved he was telling fact!
He didn’t know about the cocaine! Otherwise, he would’ve blown it to the sky it with trumpets! He had to push the diuretics thing because he didn’t know why Bruce Lee couldn’t keep weight on. “Oh but the cortisone!” 🤦🏻♂️
Tom is a 🤡
Also Bleecker was by far not the first to expose the cannabis use. Alex Ben Block discussed it at length in his 1974 book. Bleecker might have been the first to out Baker as the drug mule (maybe) and to his credit he was the first one to know that something was fishy about Wu Ngan. Besides that it is no better than guess work in filling in the reasons for Bruce’s demise.
But the cortisone! But the triads! But the diuretics!
@@TheKungFuGenius have u ever thought to reach out and invite Tom Bleeker on the podcast? It would be huge! He married Bruce's woman....thats a big shoe to fill for any man! He has personally replied to me in the past on positive comments i left on his channel and about his time with Brandon Lee. I was surprised when he did reply.
@user-dk3up2nl1m yeah, he’s told me in not so many words that he’s too cool for my podcast
Just great 👌
Yo I appreciate your knowledge of Bruce Lee. Please stop all of the cocaine jokes and side comments. No ones issues past or present should be the butt of jokes. This is constructive criticism not judgement. Thank you
What comment in particular did you not like?
Slam dunk, basically. Thank you for this. Gives me a lot of closure on causal. I wish Tom B. would, *in my best Dave Chapelle voice* STFU.😘 Love you guys. This is important for peeps to know. Don't fuck with powder ESPECIALLY nowadays.👊☯️
Reminds me of the song “white lines“…
Thanks for your comment!
Nice! 0:38 it’s been a grip. 😃42:24 I have some personal experience with that head thing. What if Bruce rocked himself to death with those killer concussive hits, kicks, punches. Or, what if he was sparring and got hit? Maybe he took on a boxer at a gym or had a point karate fight. I'm just saying, what if Bruce took a big boof, and kept it quiet. 🌞💯can i click on patreon right here Alex? Ill take a look. 1:02 ya, he was very mild build. Youd never know unless you looked under the hood, he was rip/jacked striated underneath that outer layer. 💯
Great series! It's very well researched and very well put together! Please look into Bruce's use of unrefined Napolese Hashish. The side effects include convulsions, brain adema, brain swelling and death! This is what Bruce had in his pocket, when Dr. Langford asked him about recreational drug use. He warned Bruce not to use it again and that it could result in death. He was also convinced that Bruce would be hospitalized again. Bombshell! Bruce was a genetic female! Both he and Brandon had a female gait (Walk). It would be interesting to hear your take on this. Bruce also hailed from the Li family. They rank number 7, of the 13 Illuminati families. They are also known as the Dragon family and they rule over China. Excellent work! Thanks again!
Thank you for commenting!
Based on some information I received last year from Hong Kong from people extremely close to the events of his death, I no longer care about the hash theory. It’s not relevant to his death.
@FURDOG1961 don’t sweat what people say in the comments, especially on this topic. The Nepalese hash has nothing to do with his death, but people keep beating this drum because they are missing the obvious component.
The wooden dummy book was already sold out when I visited unfortunately! Will you be restocking soon?
They are on the way! A few weeks.
@@TheKungFuGenius Awesome! Thanks!
great stuff. i agree on all of your points. except, for one. i think Game of Death would have been better than Enter the Dragon. My favorite Bruce Lee film is actually not Enter the Dragon, but Way of the Dragon. And that film also didn't have a script. It's the people involve, steering the ship called movie that will make the movie what it is in the end. So, if Bruce Lee hadn't died and continued Game of Death, there is no doubt in my mind it would have been amazing. It's the people involve that makes a difference.
The fight scenes yes, the preachy dialogue we’ve seen… well Bruce is like star wars used to be - all new stuff was good stuff… but that’s not always the case.
Hong Kong 🇭🇰 noodles really GOOD!!
Kool !! Batman cup!!
To me it’s obvious in photo timeline comparisons that BL lost muscle mass in HK too. But he lost so much body fat too, so that he actually appeared to be more muscular in HK than in the 60s. Imagine if BL had actually been on a baby dose of steroids losing all of that body fat in HK without losing any of the muscle mass he brought with him from the States.
The problem is this is an assertion about a baby dose for which there is no evidence, not one letter to Baker mentioning steroids, not one doctors note, not one person claiming even to be the supplier… Nothing. It is a lot easier to keep muscle than it is to gain muscle. If Bruce was just mildly working out, which we know he was actually doing much more than that, maintaining his muscle mass would not be an issue. It’s easier to maintain that gain, that’s just sports physiology.
When u describe corruption that with paying the nurse for a better pillow & the firemen to do their job stuff. It sounds like pure capitalism without socialist elements 🤔

Including God almighty in your plans is so important , Jesus will help you make better decisons
Thank you for commenting. It helps the algorithm of the video.
I believe Bruce was poisoned and killed
Sir, do you know about that interview with one of yipman's early students who talked about some curious details about yks, wsl and william chung and then some really disturbing things about bruce lee's father? Is there some truth to it?
Are you talking about Kwok Fu spewing a bunch of made up nonsense? Yeah, I saw that interview.
When Yip Man left China for Hong Kong in 1949, he never went back. That meant he never saw his “original” students again, and more likely than not did not even communicate with them anymore.
So with mainland China being a big brother surveillance state starting in the 50s and 60s, how did Kwok Fu manage to get all of these crazy stories when he did not even know the names of any of his teacher students until most likely after they became famous and his teacher died?
Where was all this “information” coming from? Did he have access to Google in the 1950s and 60s? Was he on 50s era online chat rooms lurking for info?
Pure nonsense. Claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
@@TheKungFuGenius yeah thats what i thought.. the guy was known self promoter as noted by LT in roots book. Haha.. But then the interviewer seem to have brought that topic up about bruce lee's father as if seeking confirmation from kwok fu.
He was balls deep in Ting pei when he got that headache, some have a cigarette after he grabbed an analgesic tablet and the rest is as they say history.
The funny thing is, we treat celebrities as if they must live so clean, and perfect, we establish a false narrative as to how they live, eat, breath practically. In reality, bruce was a hard knock older wiser dude then, he had lots of physical pain as well. I can speak from experience on his kind of training, it really rock the body something fierce. He had a type of punch, and kick, that used the whole body, spine, and it really shakes your guts up a bit. Just an idea. Maybe he bumped his head too i was saying to somebody else. ✨💯
It’s solved!
Info dropped here
Another great episode.....don't do cocaine kids!
No coke. No coke people. 😂Sprite is ok though. 😁
Alex, have you watched the Autopsy last hours Bruce Lee episode? When I watched it I did some research and found real medical papers that describe the seemingly minor symptoms Bruce experienced in the ETD period to 20th July, through to brain swelling from adrenal crisis which seems to be what happened on May 10th and 20th July. Just wondering if you have have a reason to doubt the (seemingly logical) explanation that the long term cortisone injections and subsequent adrenal issues would explain why the oedema happened. I have just as limited knowledge of medicine as you do, but there’s just so much information online that corroborates the verdict given in the Autopsy tv show. Maybe you can talk about it in a future episode?
The so-called Cortizone injections don’t seem to be in his doctors notes for the last couple years of his life while he was living in Hong Kong. From the initial injections he got after his back injury, cortizone injections are not regularly referenced in these records, nor did they seem to come up as something in his inquest in which every doctor who dealt with him was sworn under oath to discuss these things openly. Also, given that they seemed desperate to try to cover up the source of his cerebral edema, had Cortizone injections been a regular thing that he was engaging in due to an injury I don’t see why they wouldn’t of just blamed that as the smoking gun to take the heat off the more nefarious things. Why weren’t Cortizone injections brought up at his inquest? Why is there seemingly a conspiracy to hide that but discuss the cannabis instead? Because there’s no evidence! A book is written in the 90s with a narrative people accept and then try to shoehorn it every time there’s a discussion about Bruce Lee. That’s the problem.
It’s not about whether it’s logical or not, there are many logical things one could say Bruce “could have” been doing. His kidneys were clear during the autopsy and had normal function yet everyone screams that he was in massive adrenal crisis. Ok, fine.
We now have 50 letters corroborating that he had a very intense cocaine habit, especially during the final time of his life. Cocaine when used regularly causes nearly every issue that Bruce Lee was having at the end of his life, from his weight loss, to his erratic, and sometimes violent outbursts, his facial twitches, and ultimately cerebral edema. Tom Bleecker did not know about the cocaine use, therefore had to come up with some other “smoking gun” to explain all of these issues and for him it was diuretics and Cortizone. If we follow Occam‘s razor in which we make the least amount of assumptions given what we know, on balance of evidence, we don’t need to insert things that he might’ve taken for which we don’t know when we know he was taking cocaine.
@@TheKungFuGenius
Hello Alex, appreciate the long reply to my other comment which I have replied to. I am in no way trying to suggest I know anything and from a medical perspective I definitely have no idea whether the adrenal crisis thing could even be theoretically correct.
I think some are saying (no clue if there’s a shred of evidence or not) that he would be getting the cortisone from a shady source maybe, since a credible doctor (nowadays at least) would know there a danger in overuse of cortisone and would not supply it for long term use.
Keep up the great work! 👍
If we get a doctor script or note that Bruce was regularly injecting cortisone leading to kidney issues, I will totally add this to a list of factors. Until then it’s a needless assertion without evidence and can at this time be summarily dismissed.
Thanks for commenting!
Following my previous comment below, I would suggest having another look at the Tom Bleeker video and ignore the fact he used the word “anabolic”. Just wondering if there’s a chance you might have glossed over the other info and threw the baby out with the bath water? Anyway, love the content and tell Dre the Dreison hypotheticals are long overdue😉😂
Occam’s razor buddy, no need to insert additional theories when we know what was going on during those last two years.
@@TheKungFuGenius
Definitely not trying to insert any additional theories anywhere. Both my comments were from a point of view of “could the adrenal thing be the cause?” . It’s beyond doubt that Bruce was using the C since at least 1970. I was approaching it from a point of view of “could the medical expert on the TV show be correct + there seems to be lots of evidence that cortisone misuse (yes I understand we haven’t been shown this as evidence, but until your video, nobody knew about the C misuse) can cause things like change of skin colour etc. I’m a massive Bruce Lee fan and couldn’t care less about anything that isn’t the truth but I find it interesting to see if any particular theory might actually point to the truth. Anyway, I can’t let you get away with ignoring the main issue….. when are we getting the Dreison hypotheticals??? Hahaha. Keep up the great work on your channel sir!👍
44:00 to 45,15 is so damn right! Either team Bleecker, or team Polly, or team Shannon, or Team whoever. that's how 90% of his fans see it. One guy has to be right about everything, and the others are just wrong. I think all or most of them have some truths, and all together are the truth what caused his death.
My thing is… The repeating things is a huge red flag to me. Those witnesses (Maria Yi Bob Wall Kareem) said he had the amnesia… but yet he had amnesia & wasn’t concerned about it & wasn’t talking to his doc about it? Where are the records from his doctors saying “Bruce came in complaining of amnesia/repeating himself?” I haven’t heard any. And these witnesses to the amnesia say he was repeating himself but don’t seem to say that he mentioned to them “Listen. I’m scared about my mental health. I’m repeating myself & it scares me. Somethings wrong with me…” Or.. “Doc I have to admit, I’ve done all these drugs, could that be the reason i almost died?”… Nope! Instead he just DOESN’T admit to ANY doctor to having a poly-drug addiction that COULD’VE contributed to him almost dying May 10 and then goes “Well turns out I’m fine! Doc says I have the body of an 18 year old. Back to business!” As for the possibility that he OD’d, I’m not sure coke or any of those drug letter drugs will cause cerebral edema when overdosed, not to mention none of those were found in his system at the autopsy. So many puzzle pieces to his death just don’t come together. After the May incident it just seems like he just carries on as though everything’s fine instead of putting his life on pause to care for his health & make change to his lifestyle that could prevent that from happening again.
If you’re taking something that gives you “superpowers”, it’s not easy to assume that this same thing might also kill you. Also, if the secret of why he can outwork everyone else is out, he would no longer stand out either, so why spread the word? Just keep doing what you’re doing and soon you will be the highest paid oriental superstar in the US and in about a decade, you will have accumulated a 1980’s equivalent of $10M. He really was goal oriented.

I agree 100% that the Game Of Death may have been a really terrible movie. I'm sure it still would have been a hit but it a stinker as well
Yeah, clearly the fight scenes would’ve been top-notch, but I think the rest of the movie would’ve just been weird
@@TheKungFuGenius yes brother. I don't think the philosophical dialog would have translated well to mainstream audiences
Betty Ting Pei married sun yee on. Bosses son. Who has rumoured to Be Part of crimes too, eventhough hes an actor too. Betty was buddhist nun many years after their divource. I guess bcoz like some ppl say, he refused triad projects. Lo Wei son allegedly were The reason why their studio was driven away from bizz. These are some points existing, with much facts behind, but there is no like you say evidence. Peace and god bless
Thanks for your comment.
The fact that Betty married Charles Heung in the years after her time with Bruce Lee, and that she briefly became a Buddhist nun , are equally irrelevant to the discussion. There are no signs of foul play in his autopsy, nor are there any poisons in his system. Linking the triads to anything related to his death just because some people around him knew or even worse, were later associated with triads is a point not worth making.
@@TheKungFuGenius agreed bro.
