Because Bruce Lee is Chinese, Hollywood, which has always regarded commercial interests as the first element, cannot tolerate a Chinese becoming a Hollywood star. . The boss hired popular Hollywood stars to ensure box office, but Bruce Lee's outstanding performance had already overshadowed the leading actor. However, "The Green Hornet" was not very popular in the United States. I wanted to make a sequel, but it didn't happen. Then Bruce Lee returned to Hong Kong and made the real movie "Brother Tangshan". It became an instant hit, and the follow-up film "The Way of the Dragon" once again attracted the attention of Hollywood. After Bruce Lee made "The Green Hornet", Hollywood's attempts to adapt "The Green Hornet" have not stopped. In the summer of 1971, Bruce Lee accepted the invitation of Hong Kong Golden Harvest Film Company and signed two films with a salary of US$15,000. The first one was "Tangshan Brother" with the theme of Chinese martial arts. The budget of the film was only US$100,000, and the script was written while filming. Under such circumstances, it set a record for the highest box office of a film since the opening of Hong Kong, reaching HK$3 million. After "Brother of Tangshan", Bruce Lee filmed "Fist of Fury". "Fist of Fury" had twice the budget than "Brother of Tangshan", causing a greater sensation and breaking the Asian box office record. Bruce Lee's fearless spirit and amazing fighting skills in the film, especially the "Lee Three Kicks", "Lying Fist" and "Nunchaku" in his performances, are full of praise. After that, Bruce Lee formed his own Concord Film Company, wrote, directed, and acted in the films "Way of the Dragon" and "Game of Death," and "Way of the Dragon" was released worldwide. He also co-produced "Enter the Dragon" with Warner Bros. Pictures in Hollywood, USA, and played the leading role himself. Just when Bruce Lee was ambitious and ready to continue filming "Game of Death", he suddenly died in Hong Kong on July 20, 1973 due to drug allergy. He was only 32 years old. After the death of Bruce Lee, all the people mourned and the whole world mourned. Today, people still deeply miss this dragon.

◆Plot summary:
Bruce Lee plays the Green Hornet's assistant Kato in the play, but most of the action scenes involving police officers and punishing rapists are his acting time, and the limelight often overshadows The Green Hornet. Unfortunately, the play failed to succeed in the United States. The reason may be related to the unflattering appearance of the protagonist. The Green Hornet's black suit once had a black eye patch, which lacked the distinctive image of American comic heroes such as Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man. It seemed that there were more thieves than thieves. A chivalrous man, with quick actions and not necessarily outstanding minds and skills. In the United States of the 1960s, when everyone was self-aggrandizing, such a character was doomed to fail.

In the film, the two heroes are not at odds with each other. There is an arrangement. Bin and Kato had a big fight. The script originally planned for Robin to win, but Bruce Lee refused to obey, so the result was changed to a draw, which fully demonstrated his character of never losing.
It is precisely because of this character that when The Green Hornet was suspended due to poor ratings, the frustrated Bruce Lee took a sudden turn and decided to return to Hong Kong to try his luck.
