Where did the idea for this move come from?

I'd imagine it was his experience in streetfighting where jumping on someone who's down is acceptable. Can't imagine any traditional styles teaching that dishonourable little number.

are we talking about the move he pulls on O'Hara @ the tournament(enter the dragon) that ends his life? If so, how is that dishonorable?

I guess nothing if you mean to kill your opponent, and Lee evidently wanted to so he could get revenge for his sister. I'm sure the Shaolin Temple would not have approved though lol.

Yes, but O'Hara's treachery disgraced Mr Han. It was justifiable homicide. :)

He should have sent Bolo after O'Hara, since O'Hara wouldn't listen.:)

Come on... there's no way Bruce invented that move... he must have stolen it from some Jap film or something?

I don't know that it's any sort of technique. It's just jumping on someone's chest. Neds around here do it all the time.

Scottish version of a Chav (English).

Badly-dressed, drunken, knife-wielding punks who live to cause bother to decent people with as much noise and obnoxiousness as humanly possible.

It's a uniquely British phenomenon.

In Chicago, Mayor Daley refers to them as GangBangers.:angel:

I don't know, but he may have created the skull stomp, brutally displayed in FOF, toward the end when he's making the final rush on the Japanese school. :)

Schemies... not a term I've heard.

We call poor areas schemes so presumably schemies belong to them.

Could be a term specific to Edinburgh?
