One of our guys (a local) got 2 of his fingers seriously severed and was rushed to nearest hospital. I went to see him in emergency room right away and was shocked at the sight of other industrial accident victims. It was very ugly. A few months later, the chemical plant two doors down from us blew-up after work hours (it was totally leveled). Nobody was there as they only worked one shift but the noise level and vibrations from the shock waves (I was still at work) were incredible. I also visited a lot of larger factories for investors in the center and south of Taiwan, some which hired armies of foreign workers. Working conditions in the guts of some of the 'old school' industries were appalling - mind numbingly monotonous and very dangerous. In this sense, Taiwan was still very different from Western Europe or the States.
I just saw something on TV the other day where several people close to Bruce including Jabbar were interviewed about him. Of course they all had great respect but it sounds like he was very cocky (even bullly like) and pushed people around a lot, esp. after he went to HK. Someone even speculated that he may have pissed-off the wrong people in HKs film industry which turned karma against him and led to his early death.
I highly recommend watching the show "Blood, Sweat, & Takeaways". It shows the labor conditions in SE Asia and why so many left their home country to go work in TW, or marry off to TW to escape poverty. Unfortunately, some would get maimed or killed before they return home. I just came back from an assignment to a chemical factory and can relate to the dangers, we had to carry a breathing mask at all times, because if there was a leak you'd get killed breathing the stuff.
There's a controversy over the question of "did Bruce Lee attend Yip Man's funeral?" As a successful actor, he can afford to be arrogant, but not attending his master's funeral to pay respects is unforgivable. There's conflicted info on this, but since the guy is long dead, it's rather pointless after 40 years.
If I was in his shoes you bet i'd be front and center at all the beauty pageants in asia as well.
LOL it's not Luanda - it's
