Bruce Lee's Outfit

I'm curious to who knew this: The yellow suit Uma wears in Kill Bill is the same outfit Bruce Lee wore in his final movie. I believe QT did this in tribute to Bruce Lee.

I knew. I knew. I knew ! yay! yes I believe it was a tribute..a very cool one.

um............yeah..........it's his suit from Game of Death.

However, Bruce Lee is barely in the film (because he was dead)......it's a double 95% of the time. Bruce had only shot a couple of scenes. Enter the Dragon was the last real Bruce Lee film.........he died about 3 weeks before it was released.

QT is paying homeage to Bruce Lee. Some Martials Artist have paid sometype of Homeage to Bruce in different ways. For example Jet Li wore a similar yellow suit in Meltdown. I think that Jackie Chan did the same in another movie (can't remenber right now) but is very cool of QT to do that for the Bruce.

its the most obvious reference in the film tho.

any more obtuse ones that anyones spotted?

I saw the footage, uncut, from the Game of death all with Bruce. That would have been one hell of a movie! 😄

the game of death is by far the most hilarious waste of bruce lee time i have ever spent!

I forgot to mention also that the Kato masks also symbolize a tribute to Bruce. I don't know if you have heard of the Green Hornet TV series of the 1960's but Bruce Lee was on that series and he play the part of Kato. So once again QT with his twisted humor made a fight between two different Bruce Characters in Kill Bill.

The Yellow biker suit from the Game of Death vs. the Kato masks of the Green Hornet. I can see the Bruce Lee pun quite clear 🙂

I betcha the DVD will have TONS of facts about the movie the fans don't even know about. 😉

The music that is playing as the plane flies over the city is the Green Hornet theme music, or so I'm told.

^that's correct it is the original Green Hornet theme song. Which is included in the soundtrack.

i think Jet Li also made a movie where he wore a mask similar to Bruce Lee.

That was black mask (1996) unfortunally the film was a flop. Still it was kinda of homeage to Kato character.

yup, I didnt notice that at first

I knew that. But I read a magazine in which all the references were listed 🙂

😛 if it was only that easy

Tribute? I don't think so some how.. Tarantino's just ripping Bruce Lee off.

Yeah people do get inspirations from other people, but putting an American woman in a Bruce Lee outfit is whack.

Now...does anybody know the classical piece upon which the "Green Hornet" theme was based, and who wrote it?

What's whack about putting an American Woman in a Bruce Lee outfit? But I guess that you just have to bring people down with comments like that.
