Overview

In this special edition of Enter the Frame, we present the four complete contact sheets taken during two unique photo shoots - one at Golden Harvest, and selected photos from the Shaw Brothers shoot- and display them in their original timeline sequence. At the time, cameras typically used 36-frame rolls, often capturing near-identical shots with only slight variations in movement. This ensured that, once developed, photographers had a full contact sheet from which to select the very best images for publicity use. Few photographs in Bruce Lee's visual legacy inspire more intrigue than those from these two mysterious sessions of the early 1970s. Unlike the familiar film stills from The Big Boss, Fist of Fury, or Enter the Dragon, these portraits show Bruce in guises we never saw on screen: a blind swordsman with veiled eyes, a warrior wielding a spear or straight sword, and a scholar-like figure holding a folding fan. For decades, such images have circulated among collectors and fans, often stripped of their context, misattributed to unmade films, or confused between rival studios. When viewed closely, however, they reveal not the remnants of lost projects, but deliberate exercises in image-making - moments when Bruce, ever conscious of the camera, explored roles and archetypes that hinted at the true breadth of his imagination
