Shocking Truth behind Bruce Lee's Ghost!

Kim Tai-chung, also known as Kim Tai-jong and Tong Lung (唐龍; Chinese stage name), was a South Korean martial artist, actor and businessman. A Taekwondo practitioner, who wa best known for his martial arts films.
In the 1970s, Kim made his first Hong Kong movie debut in 1977 film Snuff Bottle Connection, along with Hwang Jang-lee and Roy Horan. Kim played Bruce Lee's character Billy Lo in 1978 film Game of Death, alongside Yuen Biao (who performed the acrobatics and stunts), Kim played Lee's character so well that the producers used him again a few years later.
In the 1980s, Kim played Bobby Lo in 1981 film Game of Death II alongside Hwang Jang-lee, Roy Horan, To Wai-wo and Lee Hoi-san. After Game of Death II, Kim returned to Korea and made his one and only Korean film, Miss, Please Be Patient (아가씨 참으세요), along with former Korean beauty queen and romantic film star Jeong Yun-hui. This movie was a commercial failure despite receiving praise from film critics.
Kim later joined a Korean and Taiwanese production again in the role of Bruce Lee in the 1982 film Jackie vs. Bruce to the Rescue (also known as Fist of Death) along with Lee Siu-ming, a Taiwanese stuntman and Jackie Chan look alike. A commercial and critical failure, this film caused him to take a break from acting.
In June 1985, Chinese film producer Ng See-yuen was looking for an actor to play the ghost of Bruce Lee in the 1986 film No Retreat, No Surrender. This would be Kim's American debut and final movie plus the film debut of Belgian martial arts actor Jean-Claude Van Damme as Ivan Kraschinsky. Kim of course played Bruce Lee's ghost who trains Kurt McKinney's character.

After No Retreat, No Surrender, Kim returned to Korea and retired from acting at the age of 29 and became a businessman.
In 2008, Kim made a rare public appearance in Korea as part of a screening of Miss, Please Be Patient (아가씨 참으세요),[2] which had originally been released in 1981. Kim had played a leading role in that film.
On August 27, 2011, Kim died of stomach hemorrhage at the age of 54.[3][4]
He had been preparing to make a new movie but suddenly collapsed during a meeting with friends and died at a hospital. Fans kept posting memorial messages on online cafes and even opened a memorial cafe for him despite nearly no mention of his passing by the media.[5]

Im glad you did this. He needs an honourable mention in the world of martial arts movies. The fights in game of death in the locker room and the green house is probably some of the best fights in martial art cinema. Those kicks were clean.

[pistolasnine]

No retreat, no surrender 💯 watched it more than 100 times .

[mantovannni]

He did such an awesome job of portraying bruce Lee. As a kid it was like Bruce Lee had come back for one more film in a way.

[j.hazelhof]

Kim Tai-chung really did a good job portraying Bruce Lee.

[onefifteenfilms]

It’s crazy how much Kurt looks like Brandon Lee in the movie.

[CatGirl-nydw]

One of my favourite movies..always loved the bully! "Stick with me and you will never go hungry" lol

[BigBillKelly-xz]

Love this film, (as is evident by my profile pic). Vann Damme plays an amazing villian.
The 80's cheesiness is great throughout this movie right from the chubby bully guy to Jason's black friend who whenever he comes on screen some super corny, super funky 'street beat' type music plays in the background! Brilliant!

[chrisbach]

Yes I know this. Kurt stated this in several interviews, but it's cool to have a short clip now to send people as source. It's only seen in some long video's, and I forget the time stamp. So this is gold, thx very much :)!

PS: Not important but I still like to mention it. Ppl in martial arts circle cant let it go, but actually it's recommended (even by the ALA-LC romanization, American Library Association - Library of Congress) not to split chinese and korean given names in two parts. So not "Kim Tai Chung" (what still 90% ppl in MA circle do), but either "Kim Taichung" or "Kim Tai-chung" (you did it correct in your description of this video) :).

[robharris]

His fight against Bob Wall in the locker room scene in Game of Death is still one of my faves to this day.... 👊

[Bigtank]

No retreat no surrender I saw this movie almost every weekend when I can rent it at Blockbuster on my dad will pick me up on Saturdays to this day it's still one of my favorite movies keep up the great work man God bless from Nicaragua coach Sal can't wait for you to get to Jean Claude Van Damme interview that interview's coming soon brother God bless keep up the great work

[jamiefrisby]

That's Kim Thai Chung or Bruce Lung he is a master of Taekwondo, and other styles, very fast. He helped finish Game of death and Game of death 2, check out his fight with master boot kicker Hwang JANG Lee or silver fox. Snuff bottle connection is brilliant. Great video, thanks.

[lonewolfronin]

Great job on Kim Tai Chung! He portrayed Bruce well. He's one of the best aside from Jason Scott Lee as the Dragon 🐲🐲 and just my opinion for Bruceplotation id say Bruce Li and Dragon Lee..

[Hassan_Omer]

I loved his performance in Game of death 2!

[bernardwilliams]

I miss these videos like this you do do more of them. Good video wondered what happened to him sad gone to soon. Loved the ending excellent V

[fletchkeilman]

Jackie and Bruce to the Rescue was always a favorite of mine. Kim Tai Chung seemed to get a bad rap, but what he did do in film was pretty good in my book

[mattnobrega]

That was one of my favorite movies when I was younger in the 90's 😁👍

[bballmmfr]

This movie is how I learned that Bruce Lee was buried in Seattle. Coincidentally I moved to Seattle and being a fan of Bruce Lee is crazy knowing he's buried there.

[KGBeast.]

Bruce Lee, the only master you have a chance of beating Van Damme with lol

[BetimAlimi]

Viking Samurai i totally respect u, for given him a plattform after his death. The Man well deserved being mantion after he potrait Bruce in Game of death and also he is the Bruce alee ghost from Karate Tiger.

[flatlinerz]

My man passed away? Damn I grew up watching this movie non stop, RIP thanks for making my childhood I thought bruce lee ghost training jason Stillwell was amazing to me
