As we all know nct 127 comeback has a very high bruce lee focus on the title track
and i found a comment on a video i was watching explaining how little things are for bruce lee in the mv and song
i dunno how true everything is as i know nothing about bruce lee tbh
but i thought it was very nice if true
The commet:
It's really nice that they paid homage to Bruce Lee in this MV: - lyrics (Bruce Lee... Obviously, and Mark and Taeyong's rap lines mentioning his original martial arts Jeet Kune Do and his movie Enter the Dragon) - the signature nose touch move - the signature "yaw!" yells heard around the dance break - villains encircling the hero and being knocked down (Mark's part) - the nunchuck Taeyong and Mark are holding (martial arts weapon that Bruce Lee was very skilled in using in movies like Fist of Fury) - motorcycle helmet (sadly, Bruce Lee passed away while filming Game of Death so his understudy had to wear a helmet and perform his sequences instead. In the movie there's a scene where Bruce Lee knocks out bad guys wearing helmets, hence there are villains in helmets lying on the ground in this MV too) - rainy night street (from the motorcycle fight scene in Game of Death) - the set at the end gives out Hong Kong vibes... Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco, but his career as an actor mainly took place in HK - There is a 'limitless (無限的我)' neon sign in the second verse. One of the key philosophies of Jeet Kune Do is that 'there is no limit'. (More specifically, 'using no way as a way; having no limitation as limitation') I know there is an NCT song with that title, so I wondered why it was there, but now that I think about it, it matches perfectly with Bruce Lee's martial arts philosophy. * one of Bruce Lee's signature outfits was a yellow training jersey with black stripes (from the movie Game of Death) (some of you may remember it from Kill Bill, but that item in that movie was also an homage to Bruce Lee) so the yellow and black colors prominent throughout the MV was a nice touch. - Mark and Doyoung keep making this 🤘🏻 shape with their hand... I've often seen Bruce Lee do this gesture in his movies. Idk if this was intended tho... It may be a stretch. But if it is, then the amount of details in this MV is truly mindblowing. - Also, in one of Bruce Lee's movies, the villain partially rips his white t-shirt off, making it look like he's wearing white bandages on top. That kinda looks like some of the members' outfit. Again, this may be going too far but if it is intended, SM, u've really outdone yourself this time.
