recently found out that there are tons of oldschool fu flick stars, that were stuntmen in enter the dragon....would it be possible if u can drum me up a list of them? for instance: yuen biao, yuen wah, sammo, jc, david chiang.

thanks for the effort

Enter the Dragon has more Acrobatics than the other Bruce Lee films, one
compelling question is whether Bruce or a double performed the special feats
1) The back spring from hands to feet in the first scene.
2) The back flips followed by jump over the six students, at the end of the
scene.
3) The overhead spin kick when fighting Bob (Ohara).
I've heard mixed reports regarding doubles ....
I believe that Bruce did most of his own stunts but I am not 100% certain
about those above.
Views appreciated.

Thanks for the responses and private E-mails....
I'd seen Bruce do tumbling scenes in his child films and considered that
he'd probably be capable of doing the moves, prior to back injury... but I
was always intrigued by the mixed views expressed before on the subject....
I'd read that he didn't do the stunt with Ohara but wasn't sure whether the
article was accurate.... but hadn't seen much regarding the other two
tumbling stunts.

Bruce did do the flips. Those were lies made up by his enemy.
