STOP FIST WAY
08 January, 1967
Bruce Lee jots down the phrase "Jeet Kune Do" in his diary.
14 January, 1967
Disgraced Harvard University professor and psychologist, Timothy Leary, addresses a mass gathering of over 30,000 hippies in San
Francisco's Golden Gate Park, extolling them to “tune in, turn on, and drop out”. He is the leading advocate for the use of
psilocybin mushrooms and lysergic acid diethylamide - psychotropics that affect behaviour, mood, thoughts, and perception.
27 January, 1967
In an attempt to boost THE GREEN HORNET's flagging ratings, William Dozier features the Green Hornet and Kato in a BATMAN
two-parter during the Caped Crusader's second season – "A Piece of the Action" & “Batman's Satisfaction”. The script required
Kato to be defeated by Robin, and Lee flatly refused to take part in the filming of the scene; again his co-star and friend,
Van Williams, took his side. Dozier had the scene rewritten to end in a stand-off instead to placate a furious Lee.
05 February, 1967
Bruce Lee opens a Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute at 628 College Street in Los Angeles' Chinatown, much out of boredom than anything
else and missing the camaraderie of being in a "gang". His analytical mind always picked up something he could study, or inspire
him, from being surrounded by a groups of such individuals who came into his orbit.
The Los Angeles’ institute operated under the same rules as its predecessors in Seattle and Oakland – no advertising or signs
outside, new recruits had to be brought in by existing members and “prove” themselves within six months or they were out. Lee
also preferred the classes to be small in number, and comprised of members who came with some form of combat experience;
exclusivity virtually guaranteed that his institutes remain prestigious.
Dan inosanto is installed as his senior instructor; personally certified, like Taky Kimura and James Yimm Lee, by Lee himself.
08 March, 1967
Production on THE GREEN HORNET is halted, four episodes short of its intended season run of thirty, and the series is cancelled
by ABC television. There had been vague hopes that Kato's popularity would ensure its renewal for a second season of one-hour
episodes suitable for "serious" crime dramas; but its counterpart at Greenway Productions, having worn thin its novelty, was
already seeing its viewing figures drop in its second season run.
Lee was not unduly alarmed by the cancellation initially, although THE GREEN HORNET had not fared well in the ratings, he had
come out of it pretty well and acquitted himself admirably in his presentation of "Chinese gung-fu" even on a rudimentary level.
He felt that it was a suitable springboard to launch his career in Hollywood.
By this time, the Lee family were residing in a rented house in the Los Angeles county of Inglewood, 2509 W. 115th Place, having
been evicted by the owners of Barrington Plaza after they discovered the building manager was making unauthorized side deals with
tenants at wildly low rents. Adam West and Burt Ward were also among those asked to vacate their apartments.
21 March, 1967
Petty thief and small-time criminal, Charles Manson is released from The Federal Correctional Institution on Terminal Island -
a low-security federal prison in Los Angeles, California - at thirty-two, he has already spent more than half his life in and
out of prisons, jails and institutions since his early teens.
Manson receives permission from his parole officer to move to San Francisco, keen to sample the delights of the emerging hippie
movement, where he reinvents himself as a singer-songwriter and mystic "guru", and forms a loyal cult following of the
dispossessed as the "Manson Family".
May 1967
Mike Stone, a Shorin-ryu Karate champion, who had first met Bruce Lee at the 1964 Long Beach Internationals Karate Championship
and won the Grand Champion title, is invited to his Chinatown Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute. Lee tempts Stone with the offer of
helping him regain his slipping tournament form.
The Chinese martial arts, despite Lee’s mission to elevate them through himself, among U.S. tournament fighters were dismissed
as ineffective, and detrimental to the reputations of those on the professional circuit. This reluctance to acknowledge gung-fu
as equal to the Japanese and Korean styles, leads Lee to suggest Stone train with him privately at his home in Inglewood instead
away from his other students.
24 June, 1967
Bruce Lee appears at the All America Open Karate Championships, held that year at New York's Madison Square Gardens, and also gives
a demonstration at the invitation of Sihak Henry Cho, a Korean taekwondo master, where he meets Chuck Norris for the first time. Lee's
current celebrity entitled him to command considerable appearance fees; but for those in his confidences, he was always happy to do
what he could to help promote their art or tournaments as long as his travelling expenses were covered.
After Norris' tournament win, Lee discusses the martial arts early into the next morning with him at their hotel, and they agree
to "work out" together when they are both back in Los Angeles.
14 July, 1967
Bruce Lee makes a guest appearance on Universal Television's new detective series, IRONSIDE, in the role of a "karate instructor"
for the episode, "Tagged For Death". Gene LeBell, "the Godfather of Grappling", who also took on jobs as a stuntman in Hollywood,
took the falls in the brief fight scene - the pair had previously worked together on THE GREEN HORNET.
The last episode of THE GREEN HORNET airs on the same day, the lamentable "Invasion From Outer Space: Part 2".
30 July, 1967
Bruce Lee returns to the scene of his "world" martial arts debut, the International Karate Championships in Long Beach, at the
invitation of Ed Parker, keen to capitalize on his celebrity status as "Kato". Attendance that year is estimated to have
exceeded the Municipal Auditorium's capacity of 8,000, the highest so far for Parker's tournament, now in its third year. Lee
brings along his senior instructors, Taky Kimura, James Yimm Lee and Dan Inosanto, as well as student and friend, Bob Baker, to
assist in his demonstration.
Lee wows the crowds, who are now far more receptive to his condescending dismissal of the classical martial arts; and his
promotion of a more modern and scientific approach: Jeet Kune Do - the “Way of the Intercepting Fist”. His performance is a
greatest hits package of everything he has spent perfecting and refining since his earliest demonstration dating back to 1959,
and the dozens upon dozens he has given ever since.
August 1967
Charles Manson and his followers make their way to Los Angeles from San Francisco.
25 August, 1967
Jay Sebring, who has been trading haircuts with Bruce Lee for gung-fu lessons, convinces his friend and client, actor Steve
McQueen, to meet up with Lee. McQueen has his first lesson at his Brentwood mansion, "The Castle", and a close and competitive
friendship is born, Lee would forever measure his success against that of his superstar pupil.
The pair of them socialized outside of their lessons together, with McQueen giving Lee invaluable advice on the inner workings
of Hollywood, and it is believed, introducing him to marijuana and eventually, cocaine - the acceptably fashionable drugs of
the sixties, along with hallucinogenics.
30 August, 1967
Thurgood Marshall, the first African-American justice on the U.S. Supreme Court is confirmed.
September 1967
The Lees move again to Culver City, a county of Los Angeles, renting a house at 4114 Van Buren Place.
September 30, 1967
After months of prevarication, Shorin-ryu Karate champion Mike Stone, takes Bruce Lee up on his "training" offer and has his
first lesson at Lee's Inglewood home. Stone's subsequent return to form, and the noticeable change in his fighting draws the
attention of his fellow martial artists on the tournament circuit.
Although Lee is never officially or openly credited, he sees it as another opportunity to enhance his art and reputation as
a "trainer of champions".
October 20, 1967
The highly decorated, as well as one of the most successful martial arts champions of his era, Chuck Norris, begins his training
also with Bruce Lee privately. Norris too was reticent in acknowledging Lee's contributions to any of the wins he accumulated
as a result of their sessions together.
November 1967
Bruce Lee makes visits Greenway Productions at 20th Century Fox to seek advice from William Dozier about his acting career - he
had not had an acting gig since that summer's solitary IRONSIDE episode - and while waiting bumps into Charles B. FitzSimons,
Dozier's assistant executive producer. With his boutique-like Jun Fan Gung Fu Institutes and private lessons barely making ends
meet, Lee is still struggling financially; it is believed that Lee never charged McQueen or the likes of Mike Stone or Chuck
Norris any fees for his time, whether due to friendships or simply for the prestige he thought would be forthcoming.
To his credit, Lee drew a fine line when it came to the outright commercialization of his art and had reconsidered building a
franchise of Jun Fan Gung Fu Institutes, even when a consortium of businessmen had approached him with the proposal of opening
a chain of "Kato Kung Fu" schools. In sharing his financial concerns with FitzSimons, he advises Lee to double his private
tuition fees at the very least - the A-list clients he is after will not seriously consider services at the bargain rate of $25
per hour, not in Hollywood - and his friend, Jay Sebring, who charges his top client upwards of $50 a session for his haircuts,
agrees.
January 1968
Lew Alcindor, the 7' 2" college star of the University of California's basketball team, is introduced to Bruce Lee by his friend,

take up residence there at Wilson's invitation - he is mesmerized by Manson, whom he calls "The Wizard", and allows him full
use of his home studio to make demos of Manson's original compositions and songs. Wilson has also agreed to help him obtain a
major recording deal and introduces him to music producer, Terry Melcher.
05 June , 1968
U.S. presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy, is assassinated shortly after giving a speech at the ballroom of the Ambassador
Hotel in Los Angeles. The general consensus is that Kennedy would have likely beaten the Republican candidate, Richard Nixon,
just as his older brother, John F. Kennedy, had done back in 1960 for the presidency of the United States.
19 June, 1968
THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR.
05 July, 1968
Bruce Lee is hired as a "Karate Advisor" for the last of Dean Martin's spy spoof movies, 1969's THE WRECKING CREW, undoubtedly
his friendship with Jay Sebring is paying dividends for his martial arts services within Hollywood in one way or the other. He
is paid $11,000 for several weeks work choreographing the fight scenes involving the film's stars, among them Sharon Tate, Nancy
Kwan and Elke Sommer.
At the time of shooting, Tate had left Sebring and married director Roman Polanski, although the ex-lovers remained close friends
for the rest of their days, and Sommer was married to Lee's student, Joe Hyams.
21 August, 1968
Bruce Lee gets a rare opportunity to step in front on the cameras, courtesy of his student, Stirling Silliphant, in a small, but
memorable role written especially for him, as “Winslow Wong” in 1969’s MARLOWE. James Garner, the film’s lead, also signs on as
student shortly after meeting Lee.
Lee also embarks on a protracted affair with a member of the cast, actress Sharon Farrell, who was unhappily married to her
second husband, producer Ron DeBasio, at the time.
26 August, 1968
Flush with funds from his recent work and the spate of high-paying students, Bruce Lee is eager to emulate his friends, Jay
Sebring and Steve McQueen, and reward himself with a sports car and test drives a Porsche 911 Targa, the same model as McQueen
owns, at a local dealership.
Luckily, before he can splash out, he learns from Linda that she is pregnant with their second child and the money is set aside
with a view to buying a permanent home for his growing family; he turns to McQueen for advice, who tasks his business manager
with finding a suitable property for his friend.
September 1968
Bruce Lee and Stirling Silliphant meet with Steve McQueen at "The Castle" to discuss PROJECT LENG - a martial arts epic set in
an unspecified future, that would chart the hero's philosophical and spiritual journey. McQueen is interested enough to know
more and see a script before committing; Lee knows that with the Hollywood superstar's involvement, PROJECT LENG, will not only
attract studio financing, but a worldwide audience.
October 1968
Stirling Silliphant and Steve McQueen agree to hiring a screenwriter for PROJECT LENG; Silliphant's own nephew, Mark, at a total
cost of $900.
01 October, 1968
The Lees purchase a three-bedroom house at 2551 Roscomare Road, in the highly-priced Los Angeles Westside neighbourhood of
fashionable Bel Air. Realistically, the property was beyond Lee's means and the mortgage repayments were to be a constant source
of financial strain on him, but he nevertheless went ahead with acquiring the home on the advice of Steve McQueen's business
manager.
McQueen offered to gift the $10,000 deposit to Lee - the star had also previously offered to purchase the Porsche that Lee had
his heart set on for him - but Lee's pride in refusing these handouts, only endeared him to McQueen even more. The "King of Cool",
as tough and ruthless as he was off-screen, was not known to be so openly generous and sentimental even to those he'd known for
far longer than Lee.
16 October, 1968
Gold and bronze 200m U.S. medallists, Tommie Smith and John Carlos, raise a single, black-gloved fist on the winners podium of
Olympic Games in Mexico City, to protest the treatment of African Americans, in an act of defiance and unity. The International
Olympic Committee shamefully banned them from competing in further races and expelled them from the Olympic Village where they
were staying; the athletic careers of Smith and Carlos were cut short and never fully recovered from the stand they took in 1968.
17 OCTOBER, 1968
BULLITT.
01 November, 1968
James Coburn welcomes Bruce Lee into his sprawling, eclectic Moroccan-style mansion at Tower Road in Beverly Hills, for his first
private lesson with the martial artist he had met at his friends' wedding anniversary party, the McQueens.
Coburn was deep into Eastern mysticism and had dabbled in judo and karate, most noticeably in his breakout role as super-spy
"Derek Flint" in 1966's OUR MAN FLINT, and its follow-up the next year, IN LIKE FLINT. He took immediately to Lee's brand of
"scientific street fighting" and philosophy, Jeet Kune Do, after he was knocked clear across a room and over a couch by Lee's
one-inch punch. He was, like Lee, an enthusiastic recreational marijuana user, but experimented more with psychotropics such as
LSD - lysergic acid diethylamide.
12 November, 1968
Bruce Lee appears in an episode entitled "Pick On A Bully Your Own Size", on the ill-fated TV series BLONDIE, based on a comic strip
by Chic Young, which lasts a single season.
15 November, 1968
Bruce Lee guests on another TV series, HERE COMES THE BRIDES; despite being desperate for acting work, he refuses to sport
a pigtail as the other Asian actors have agreed to, in the "Marriage Chinese Style" episode.
December 1968
With an unsatisfactory script for PROJECT LENG from Mark Silliphant, Steve McQueen withdraws his participation from the film.
However, during another meeting at "The Castle", his true motives for doing so are made clear - McQueen has no intention of
being used to make a star of Bruce Lee, whose multiple roles in PROJECT LENG were clearly engineered to steal the film
from right under himself.
McQueen's compartmentalization of his friendship and professional life created a rift in his relationship with Lee, who vowed from
that day forward that he would be the bigger star one day soon.
02 December, 1968
The Beach Boys release the single, "Bluebirds Over The Mountains" with the B-side, "Never Learn Not To Love", a reworking of a
demo made by Charles Manson, "Cease To Exist". Wilson alone is credited as the song's composer, citing this as payment for all
the money and personal possessions that the Manson Family have helped themselves to or sold without his knowledge, estimated to be
over a $100,000.
By this time, Wilson has had Manson and his followers evicted from his Malibu mansion; while record producer, Terry Melcher, has
deemed Manson to be unmanageable in the studio. But their rejection of him is not the only reason for Manson's murderous, drug-fuelled
rage, he has also submitted a film project to Steve McQueen's Solar Productions and his proposal has been all but ignored.
Manson retreats with his followers to an abandoned film set, the Spahn Ranch, in the deserts of Los Angeles to plan his revenge.

personal fortune of $10,000,000.
13 January, 1969
Following Steve McQueen's departure from PROJECT LENG, Bruce Lee and Stirling Silliphant meet with James Coburn as a possible
replacement for the lead role, although Coburn is not as bankable as McQueen, his name still has enough marquee value to attract
the financing needed for the film.
Less ego-driven and competitive than McQueen, Coburn expresses his interest and agrees to work on the film.
February 1969
Roman Polanski and his wife, Sharon Tate, move into their new home on 10050 Cielo Drive in Benedict Canyon, the exclusive
Beverly Crest neighbourhood of Los Angeles. The residence had only recently been vacated by music producer, Terry Melcher and
his girlfriend, actress Candice Bergman, who had resided there since 1966; Melcher's mother was the Hollywood star, Doris Day.
The Polanskis are expecting their first child when they decided to settle down at the European style property, with its guest
cottage and swimming pool.

a story treatment by a pair of comedy writers - Ed Spielman and Howard Friedlander - called, THE WAY OF THE TIGER, THE SIGN OF
THE DRAGON.
08 August, 1969
Sharon Tate and her house guests at Cielo Drive - Jay Sebring, Wojciech Frykowski, his girlfriend, the Folgers coffee heiress,
Abigail Folger, and the friend of the groundskeeper, Steven Parent - are murdered by four members of the Manson Family. Tate was
then eight and a half months pregnant, and Sebring had been among the first killed while attempting to defend her, he was shot
and stabbed seven times; Tate was hung by the neck with a nylon rope and stabbed sixteen times.
Earlier that day, Sebring had invited his clients and friends, musician and record producer, Qunicy Jones and Steve McQueen, to
join them for dinner in the evening but neither had bothered to show up. The group of friends were keeping the pregnant Tate
company while her husband, Roman Polanski, was in the U.K. working on his next film, THE DAY OF THE DOLPHIN, when he learns of
the murders, he collapses in shock.
Charles Manson was familiar with the property having visited while Terry Melcher lived there; and came looking for him
again after the Polanskis has moved in, hoping to be given another chance at becoming a recording star. Manson then ordered the
quartet of his most devoted followers to “totally destroy” everyone inside.
10 August, 1969
With Hollywood stunned by reports of the macabre killings, Charles Manson randomly selects a middle aged couple, Leno and Rosemary
LaBianca, living in the hillside neighbourhood of Los Feliz in Los Angeles as his next victims. He is disappointed by the
apparent chaos of the murders at Cielo Drive, and accompanies six members of the Manson Family to the LaBiancas to quietly
restrain them before leaving while the others carry out his grisly orders.
13 August, 1969
Bruce Lee attends the funerals of Jay Sebring and Sharon Tate; Steve McQueen does not despite his closeness with Sebring and Tate,
like the rest of Hollywood's residents, he has gone into lockdown, turning "The Castle" into "the fucking Alamo” and was rarely
without a firearm close to hand at home, in his cars or at his office.
Roman Polanski is certain the murders are an inside job and suspects Lee as the only person within his circle of friends to
be capable of carrying out the multiple killings.
17 August, 1969
PROJECT LENG finally has an enigmatic title, credited to James Coburn, THE SILENT FLUTE, a reference to one of the characters that
Bruce Lee would play - "Ah Sahm", a throwback to the name of the role he had played in his last Hong Kong film, THE ORPHAN - a
blind flautist and martial artist.
11 September, 1969
Writer Shelley Burton is contracted to produce a first-draft script of THE SILENT FLUTE, as a fee of $7,500 - Stirling Silliphant and
James Coburn, through their respective companies, Pingree Productions and Panpiper Productions, shouldered the cost; Bruce Lee,
who struggled financially that year, was unable to contribute.
10 October, 1969
Charles Manson and twenty-five of his followers are arrested in a raid on Barker Ranch by the local sheriffs office in Inyo,

It is also later revealed that Steve McQueen was on a "hit list" of celebrities compiled by Manson.
22 October, 1969
MARLOWE is released to indifferent audiences and a poor box office performance, though Bruce Lee's cameo is often noted as
the film's sole highlight.
December 1969
Bruce Lee falls out with Joe Lewis, and the pair come to near blows which Lewis walks away from; the most cited reason for the
collapse of their relationship stems from an allegation by Lewis' wife that Lee had flirted with her.
Out of all of the tournament fighters that Lee "trained" with in the Sixties, few gave him any credit during his lifetime - only
Louis Delgado, the last competitor to beat Chuck Norris, would go on the record in 1969: "I have never seen anyone like Bruce Lee.
I have met and sparred with several Karate men, but Bruce has been the only one who has baffled me completely. I am completely
in awe when I fight with him."
07 December, 1969
Bruce Lee finally takes ownership of a red Porsche 9115 Targa from the proceeds of his share of an apartment sale in Hong Kong,
it is a luxury he could ill-afford at this time when he was still struggling to keep up with his mortgage payments.
22 December, 1969
The first draft of THE SILENT FLUTE by Shelley Burton is met with universal disapproval from Bruce Lee, Stirling Silliphant and
James Coburn - Silliphant is particularly incensed and fires off a vitriolic memo to Burton for his treatment of the story
as just "science fiction and sex".
