In a rare revelation, Sammo Hung shared his experience with Bruce Lee during 1973, the year of Lee’s untimely death. Sammo described Bruce’s unmatched dedication, perfectionism, and relentless work ethic while filming Enter the Dragon, but also revealed how the physical toll, stress, and exhaustion visibly wore Lee down. Contrary to conspiracy theories, Sammo clarified that Bruce’s death was not foul play, but the tragic result of overwork, health strain, and possibly a bad reaction to medication. He also reflected on their brief collaboration and how Bruce’s charisma and vision made Chinese audiences feel proud — a rare kind of presence few could replicate.
