Back In The Bruce Lee Era, And In My Era, Kung-fu Stirred Up A Kind Of Frenzy, And Many People Were Learning Martial Arts From Us. But About A Decade Ago, Hollywood Began Bringing In A Number Of Our Action Choreographers, Including Two From My Own Stunt Crew, Where They Became Martial Arts Directors. Now, A Decade Later, Hollywood Has Learned It All, So When You Look At The Action Films They're Making Now, They All Use Our Action, Our Martial Arts, And Then Add To That Their Own Technology Which Is Ten Times Better Than Ours, And It Has To Leave Us Dumbfounded: How Did They Film That?
