He Was Too Fast For Cameras

One of the interesting facts about Bruce Lee is that he was too fast for the camera. The Green Hornet introduced an adult Bruce to an American audience and became the first popular American show to demonstrate Asian-style martial arts. The show's director wanted Lee to fight in a typical American style using fists and punches. As a professional boxer, Lee refused, insisting that he should fight in his professional style. At first, Lee moved so fast that his movements couldn't catch up on the film, so he had to slow down. After the show was canceled in 1967, Lee wrote to Dozier thanking him for starting "my career in the show business".

The major goal of action movies is to increase the danger and drama of the battle scenes. The filmmakers, on the other hand, choose to slow down Bruce's activities rather than speed them up since he has another issue. His martial arts maneuvers are too quick for the camera to keep up with. Although people want to witness Lee's skills, he also has those skills for his personal benefit. He appeared to be standing still in some of the scenes that were first reshot for the program while the villains shook and tumbled around him. Additionally, the shooting frame rate of his movies was utilized by the directors so that his motions could be captured without his epic combat scenes being missed.
