* While the martial arts on display in Creator/BruceLee films are undeniably incredible, sometimes the acting and dialogue is... much less stellar:
** ''Film/TheBigBoss'':
*** During an otherwise tense fight scene that happens after Cheng [[NightmareFuel discovers one of his cousins has been murdered and his remains encased in an ice block]], Cheng punches a bad guy through a wooden wall and leaves a perfectly cut hole in the shape of the poor sod on the receiving end, like something from a Looney Tunes cartoon. Lee (quite rightly) thought it was ridiculous and contested it, but director Lo Wei overruled him.
*** The scene where Cheng is dodging the Bosses' guard dogs, which are just shots of Lee leaping around in the air interspersed with shots of dogs being thrown in front of the camera.
*** The leg grappling scene between Cheng and the Boss in their climactic fight where they're rolling around in the grass together looks hilarious.
** ''Film/FistOfFury'':
*** The "No Dogs and No Chinese" scene. While racism itself isn't funny, the over-the-top way Chen destroys the sign absolutely is.
*** The English dub of the film sounds quite silly at times. For example, the scene where Chen discovers his beloved teacher was poisoned and he begins torturing a Japanese man for information would be the deeply dramatic and emotional scene it was intended to be, if Chen didn't yell "WHY DID YOU KILL MY TEACHER!? [[PunctuatedPounding WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY]]!?" while pounding the shit out of the man's stomach as if he's pregnant with a baby Chen doesn't want.
** ''Film/EnterTheDragon'': There's a scene where Lee kicks the ass of O'Hara (who previously terrorized Lee's sister Su Lin and [[BetterToDieThanBeKilled would have raped the poor girl had she not killed herself with a glass shard]]) and stomps him to death after the white thug tries to pull a broken bottle on him. It's awesome, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQfzvQFTtEw Lee makes a weird face and a cry after delivering the finishing blow]].
** ''Film/GameOfDeath'': Combined with SpecialEffectsFailure. Because the real Creator/BruceLee tragically died while this film was being made, the filmmakers used body doubles and camera tricks to finish it. One less than convincing example of one of these tricks that reportedly had the entire house laughing at the sight of it, was an obvious cardboard cutout of Bruce Lee's face imposed over one of the body doubles to act as his reflection in a mirror. There's also a really dumb face Lee makes during his fight with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's character which is supposed to be Lee's exertion while strangling a giant NBA player but in practice just looks like a {{Troll}} face.
