Lee remains calm and collected throughout the fight, making his blows and quick kicks appear effortless.

The legendary star died in 1973 at 32, but not before making a name for himself as one of the most influential martial artists of all time. He appeared in five films that catapulted him to stardom, including “Fist of Fury” and “Way of the Dragon,” which featured him taking on a pre-fame Chuck Norris. His final film, “Enter the Dragon,” was released posthumously.
