In Reply to: Why are the bad guys such lousy shots? posted by Rod M on October 08, 2002 at 14:14:56:
One or two guys can take out 20-50 idiots standing around WAITING for their turn to get pummeled! An assembly line of death.

Follow Ups:
His earlier movies are wonderful demonstrations of the techniques of Aikido. He is the Fred Astaire of chop suey movies in this regard. Full frame shots of fighting in real time. His first, Above The Law, is probably the best viewing of this approach to on-screen fighting. His later films, probably due to his expanding waistline, resorted to more of the typical cut/pan/fist-in-face, close-up conventional style of fight scene filming.But........
In every scene, the guys he is not fighting at that moment in time just stand by admiringly watching his stunning skills. And after each individual is laid to waste another moves in, one at a time, to have their limbs broken or bodies thrown like rag-dolls. Very obliging of them I must say.

Even more nonsensical is how the good guy always fights the gang that uses chains and knives -- the same gang that took over a city doesn't carry guns? Well, except for the big bad boss who comes in pointing a gun, but only after his 20 henchmen get beaten up. (That would be "Plan B" I suppose.) Of course, the big bad boss can never bring himself to kill the good guy right there and then ...My favorite part of Enter the Dragon is the mission briefing, when Bruce Lee suggests a quick resolution to the problem: "Why don't you just take a gun and ... BANG!" The captain says, "This island is in international waters, so we can't use guns". Issue resolved. Kung fu begins.
that's a good point. the good guy is always tied up by the bad guy in in seemingly impossible way to escape, so he can escape and kill the bad guys.obviously bad guys don't watch movies cause then they would know exactly what not to do.
