I almost just started hitting buttons before
I even hit record. Here we go! Yeah boy! We're
doing it again because that's not what I meant
to hit. Professional! 100 % And we're at it again
Like always this time we're gonna talk ghost
stories. Oh, yeah, we're changing up. I guess
curse stories I related, you know, this this
is what I wanted to say is You would help a lot
if somebody would leave a comment. Yes, please
You can do it on spot spooder fi you can put
comments in there. You can say hey You should
just stay in your lane with the cons the the
cryptid guys Whatever however, I Firmly believe
that all of this is kind of related So when you
have a weird conspiracy about the government
or you know my phone locked up There we go that
it's all a little bit tied so that's why I say
hey Let us know where we're going wrong. So if
you're like, hey, you should just do this or
both. I don't care Yeah, we like it if you listen
leave your so if we can do something that's gonna
be different that'll make you listen We want
to know about that. Well, we want to provide
a service and that services. I don't know yet.
Yep, but We do have something because we plan
on going We have a field trip coming. We have
a field trip. That's that's our plan Coincidentally,
it ended up we're going to go look at Bruce Lee
and Brandon Lee's burial site. Yeah, I didn't
know until today that Bruce Lee was buried in
Seattle. Well, I looked it up and was like, oh,
no, you're right. They're born in California
or apparently was, but for some reason buried
up here. Yeah, so we're going to we're going
to dive a little bit into this. So we have a
little bit of research before we go up there.
You know empty -handed because there is some
interesting things that happened around Brandon
Lee. Yes. There is a thing called the curse of
Brandon Lee Would you like to know more? I would
like to know more tell me more Well, then since
you asked the curse of Brandon Lee refers to
the rumored supernatural affliction tied to the
tragic death of actor Brandon Lee in 1993 during
the filming of the crow often framed as an extension
of a broader Lee family curse originating from
his father, martial arts legend, Bruce Lee. Wait,
his dad was Bruce Lee. He sure was. Holy the
curse narrative has persisted in popular culture
fueled by eerie coincidences, family superstitions
and conspiracy theories. However, investigations
and family statements have attributed attribute
the evidence to unfortunate accidents rather
than supernatural forces. Yes, however, just
bad luck. Keep an open mind. Yeah, yeah, of course.
This report draws from historical accounts. Film
production details and analysis to examine the
origins, key events, coincidences and rational
explanations surrounding the curse. So Brennan
Lee was born on February 1st 1965 in Oakland,
California to Bruce Lee and Linda Emory later
Linda Lee Cadwell. Oh she remarried She good
on me. I mean, how do you how do you dude who's?
You're the guy filling Bruce Lee. You're right
Like hold up how do you do that man? How do you
and Good on me. How do you follow up? I good
on you. Whatever your what was their name Linda
Lee Cadwell for summarizing the Cadbury a Linda
Cadbury. No, that's probably not an easy shadow
to step out of being you know, well to be fair
second husband after Bruce Lee be fair Chinese
so well Hey, what does that say? You know, I'm
Asian Stereotypes or stereotypes? I didn't say
what what those the very smart obviously look
at me. I'm a complete idiot But you'd know no
all jokes aside and us just being totally stupid
How do you come and say? Yeah, I was married
to Bruce Bruce Lee and now this is my my guy
like there's my other husband. Hi So Not not
the other husband, but we're talking about Brandon
Lee now. Okay, so now Brandon Lee Yeah, he was
the only son of the iconic actor and martial
artist who died when Brandon was just eight years
old Brandon pursued acting and martial arts starring
a film such as showdown in Little Tokyo in 1991
in rapid fire in 1992 So he was in other movies
because I don't I had no idea. No, I mean that
would make sense that you have more than one
movie. Yeah Yeah, especially for your dad's Bruce
Lee. Well, it would be really sucky to have your
only movie you ever did not be the one you died.
Yeah, for real. I mean, he might have been even
bigger because of that. You never know. That
was the thing. But anyway, you never know. So
a little Tokyo rapid fire to where he showcased
his athleticism and fighting skills inherited
from his father. By 1993 at age 28, he was on
the cusp of major stardom with his lead. lead
role in The Crow, a gothic revenge fantasy based
on James O 'Barr's graphic novel. On March 31st,
1993, during the final week of principal photography
in Worthington, North Carolina, Brandon was fatally
shot in an on -set accident in a scene where
his character, Eric Draven. Something. I've never
seen The Crow, so I don't know if that's how
you pronounce. I've seen it once and and and
just because this kind of reminded me of something.
used to play guitar and then I played bass because
we didn't have a bass player and at some point
I started playing drums and then that led to
me playing drums and some other guy showing up
playing guitar and that guy just smoked weed
and was big into like this make the surfing song
and it was like the same thing and he was friends
with someone else and that guy was super into
the crow And I didn't know because I was just
drumming and I'm like, whatever, playing the
same thing over and over and not actually trying
and trying to develop my skills or whatnot. And
I was probably the only guy that didn't smoke
weed the entire time we were there or drink.
I just, I was naturally - You were there for
music. Yes. I was naturally stoned looking all
the time. So everybody just thought that I was
part of that crowd. Cause I was hanging out with
them. I'm an idiot. Don't do what I did. Anyway.
Did not know because I did not pay attention
to lyrics. I can't hear anything behind the drums
anyway, but I remember the guy I used to play
with and hang out with more out of the group
Saying yeah, man. He just always write these
songs and every song was about the crow and Coming
back from death or whatever like that the songs
were all about the crow Yeah, you didn't I didn't
read the lyrics or anything. I just showed up
and beat things with sticks. So that was just
my little side story there. So that was a good
one. So in a scene where his character Eric Draven
was murdered, a prop 44 caliber revolver intended
to fire blanks discharged a lodged bullet fragment
from the prior dummy round. The projectile struck
Brandon in the abdomen and he succumbed to his
injuries hours later at a local hospital. He
had opted not to wear a protective bulletproof
vest for the scene. The incident was ruled an
accident by authorities with no foul play involved,
though it highlighted severe lapses in prop gun
safety protocols. Brandon was engaged to Eliza
Hutton at the time and their planned wedding
never occurred, adding to the tragedy. I wanted
to interject something. All right. He was nobody
was charged with anything. Oh, how does that
go for? Alec Baldwin shooting that one person
from the Rust movie. He got found innocent or
not guilty, right? Did they? I don't even know.
He didn't go to prison or anything. He didn't
serve any time for it. Did he? I mean, did he
did? Did he got like four years? And I'm like,
I don't even care what I know. I just know it
was something they brought up because they were
saying protocol is that you don't ever aim the
gun at anybody just in case something like that
happens. And maybe That's something that's a
little bit different now with their hollywood
rules and whatever reptiles they can and can't
have sex with so Yeah, thank you people listen
to our last episodes About jay -z knight reptiles
go to yeti or not. Here we come .com And you
will find that it says still in construction
because uses error for yeah, pretty much, you
know why because This is a losing money venture
so far Not -for -profit operation that and they
mean that dead. That's how that is always gonna
be You can't make Look stone ships sink glass
You know what I'm saying? I hear you. Okay All
right The curse narrative traces back to superstitions
within the Lee family particularly held by Bruce
Lee's mother, Grace Ho. How? Gracie, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. How? No, it's H -O. I'm
pretty sure it's Ho. H -O? Yeah. Ho. Grace Ho,
born in 1940 during the year of the dragon, Bruce
was... That's cool. Bruce was given the feminine
nickname, Si Fon, meaning small phoenix. to ward
off evil spirits. This stemmed from the death
of an older brother in infancy which Grace believed
was caused by a demonic entity targeting male
children in the family. The family was reportedly
deeply superstitious influenced by Chinese folklore
about spirits and curses. Bruce Lee's sudden
death on July 20th 1973 at age 32 amplified these
beliefs officially attributed to cerebral cerebral
edema from a reaction to a painkiller While at
actress Betty Ting Pei's apartment in Hong Kong
Ting Ting Tong Kong I wasn't expecting to go
like full Chinese stereotype of the name, you
know They caught me by surprise ting -tong ting
-tong. Yeah, Betty Ting Pay Department in Hong
Kong. All right. Oh, okay tape so What painkiller
did he take that he had a brain bleed? equid
jessic That sounds like it's for horses. It sounds
yeah sounds like or Joe Rogan on school painkillers
Definitely a Joe Rogan painkiller. He probably
had his fair share. He takes pains and stuff,
you know, take a good twit Esketus and whatever
May cause rectal bleeding if you're lucky I mean,
you know, that's a whole nother conspiracy story.
We're talking about the enumclaw around here.
Oh, yeah. Talk about if it causes rectal bleeding.
Don't look it up. Don't. That's not a conspiracy.
That's a tragic. This is real life. That just
happened. Yeah, that was bad. Stay away from
that area, especially if your horse. I don't
know. Maybe that lets us not go there. Yeah.
Back to topic. Bruce Lee sudden death I read
that already Ting pays apartment in Hong Kong.
That's what his passing sparked rumors of foul
play including triad involvement Tried me like
the Asian means three knees like mafia organized
crime means three Asians triad. Yeah Do Bruce
Lee's alleged teenage altercation with the triad
boss's son or a dim mock, which is a definite
death touch for martial arts war That's cool.
Yeah Somebody gave him the Grimlock the dim the
ding -dong did the group dim mock the dim ox
somebody gave him the death touch supposedly
and that's Deadly, you know was crazy. I didn't
know if We got we got a pause. Oh All right.
All right. Where were we? Okay Are we going right
now? Oh, yeah case conspiracy theory suggests
poisoning or supernatural intervention Despite
a nine -day inquest confirming natural causes
Brandon leaves 20 years Brandon's death 20 years
later reviewed the curse idea With some claiming
the demon had shifted its target to him. Oh,
you know what? I just forgot but It's really
important. Yep. We got to have the spooky music
Supporters of the curse point to numerous parallels
between father and son creating an aura of an
inevitability Inevitability. Yeah You know what
I'm saying? I've never read So both died young
Bruce Lee and at 20 at 32 and Brandon at 28 during
pivotal career moments Bruce was in post -production
on game of death his fifth film and Brandon It's
like tripping me out. Yeah. And uh... And Brandon
was eight days from rapping. You ever watch Bob's
Burgers? No. One of the kids gets nervous and
goes... I've never seen that. Neither lived to
see their films released, which became posthumous,
posthumous hits. Enter the Dragon. 1973 gross
massively and the crow in 1994 earn 94 million
dollars worldwide. That's a lot. I wonder how
much it cost. Probably not that much. Not 90
for me. Film parallels in the in this 1978 completed
version of Game of Death. Bruce characters faces
death and after being shot on on a film set,
eerily mirroring Brandon's real life accident.
A scene warns about prop gun dangers. uh pressing
the crow miss presaging that sounds like prostate
massage in the crow uh brains characters called
before his fiance echoing his own unfulfilled
wedding plans Astronomical and symbolic ties
such as both were born in the year of the dragon
Bruce Lee 1940 and Brandon 1965 on Chinese New
Year's Eve the 1993 biopic dragon The Bruce Lee
story depicted Bruce haunted by a demon that
later attacks a young Brandon in a dream sequence
released just months after Brandon's death and
dedicated to him Huh interesting and the curse
is said to target males citing the infant brother's
death but this is inconsistent as Bruce's brothers
Peter and Robert lived long lives Bruce Lee's
brother was named Peter yeah and yet another
one named Robert and Peter and Robert well so
his mom must have been American Mean I guess
cuz he was an American Bruce Lee was an American
citizen. His name is Bruce So he came from China
to America with the US and came in got in because
he was he was born in San Francisco I think or
in California somewhere. I think it was San Francisco
and that's where Bradley was born to it. Yeah
Or maybe it was something else this, California.
So his mom must have been American and so that's
no doubt where the name Robert Bruce and Peter
Came from obviously I probably heard brothers
your dad or something. Yeah, so it's Getting
distracted because I'm looking at my microphone
volume. It does make a difference. Oh, okay.
Oh Yeah being close up to it. Yeah. Well, I feel
like I'm shouting I'm shouting at the microphone
or something, but you know, whatever anyway Skeptics
including Family members dismissed the curse
as coincidence amplified by tragedy Linda will
cadwell the daughter Shannon Lee have and daughter
Shanley have publicly denied it in interviews
and Documenters like I am Bruce Lee emphasizing
natural causes and accidents Bruce said Bruce's
death was medically explained as a hypertensive
hypersensitivity Reaction not supernatural Brandon's
was a preventable prop mishap due to negligence
a bullet fragment from the dummy round wasn't
cleared violating safety standards the crows
and others the crows other incidents stem from
the harsh filming conditions such as cold wet
nights and the tight schedule rather than a curse
producer jeff most called the curse narrative
media driven noting it scared the franchise scarred
the franchise but was not real scared it it did
scare no they made a few more yeah Never saw
those ones either Then I never seen any and so
this this goes on to describe the impact on the
crow franchise says the crow in 1994 Was completed
using body doubles and dedicated to Brandon and
Eliza It became a cult classic but spawned underwhelming
sequels such as the city of angels salvation
and wicked prayer and a TV series often criticized
as exploits exploitative Exploitative. Yeah,
sure something a 2024 Reboot starred Bill Skarsgård,
faced 15 plus years of development help. The
multiple actors and directors attached before
release, perpetuating the curse myth. Director
Robert Sanders positioned it as a tribute, but
original cast like Biling and director Alex Proya,
man, that's a tough one too. argued the story
should remain Brandon's legacy. I mean, in conclusion,
the curse of Brandon Lee is compelling urban
legend born from brief coincidences in Hollywood
drama, but evidence points to humor, human error.
Humor led to death. This is not funny. No, that
part kind of was points to human error and misfortune
rather than supernatural forces as Linda Linda
will Linda Lee. Oh, man. Linda Ting Ting. Remember?
Yeah. Linda Lee Cadwell stated it's better to
remember how they lived, speculate on their deaths.
Their narrative endures in pop culture, reminding
us of the fragility of life in the spotlight,
life in the spotlight. But rational analysis
debunks it as myth. For further reading, consult
biographies such as Bruce Lee, a life by Matthew
Polly or official family statements. Awesome.
Guess what? We did it. We made it all the way
through that. That's the most reading I've done
in like a week. That's a lot of effort, man.
I didn't know that there was I mean, I always
heard of the like the curse sort of. But I never
really looked into it because all I knew was,
oh, he died on set. But. Well, what would if
somebody just would have checked something How
would that have changed everything if he would
have been alive still? I don't know. Maybe he
knew something man You know, what if Will Smith
actually took the role in The Matrix? That's
right. He was originally or not originally but
I guess yeah Yeah, he was the guy that they wanted
and I he was or wasn't doing I don't even know
but like man I'm glad they didn't Well, yeah,
Keanu Reeves is the perfect like retarded guy
to play that I know Kung Fu. I can't imagine
the Freshman's of Bel Air being yeah, I mean
did you hear his new rap Will Smith new freestyle
rap. No. Oh my god. I have it. Oh, I mean It
it'd be worth playing but I'm not gonna get Get
a copyright strike get it. Yeah over something
that bad. I'm sorry Will Smith might be a cool
guy. I don't know prove me wrong. Hang on with
me No offense to Will Smith. I'm looking forward
to my first copy copyright strike, but I don't
want to be real Something worth it when I get
one it's gonna be a good one. It's just not Yeah,
it's just not good. And I mean he built his Whole
thing. I'm like, oh, I'm will smith I'm talking
be good to your mom and don't cuss and I mean
He and then right before everyone forgot about
it who slapped Chris Tucker across the face He
slapped Chris Chris Tucker so hard that it changed
himself. Not a Chris trigger Chris Rock Chris
Tucker Chris Rock. Yeah, cuz yeah about Friday,
but he slapped him so hard that I don't know
what I'm talking about But it's it's It is it's
weird to me to think like what would happen if
This didn't one little teeny thing hat white
what if his dad Bruce Lee didn't take that random
painkiller that just Stroke them out or whatever
happened. I don't know man. I mean they're both
really young maybe he could have been maybe the
CIA took him out cuz he could have been like
a An asset it could be being half Chinese half
American Man is that is thank you. Thank you
marijuana Is that a conspiracy that is real?
I have to look down there. It's real now I'll
tell you exactly what the story is because he
was half Chinese They believed he was half communist
and at that time they were fighting a war between
communists and and America and American values
and now We're pretty much still back at that.
We're at the same exact spot. Add it again. And
that's why you need to leave comments so we do
or do not do things. And if this gets a million
likes, I'll take out the garbage. I will take
out your garbage. That's the first thing I can
think of, because I could see. Garbage cans.
Yeah If that didn't make total sense doesn't
need to make sense to you leave a comment like
and subscribe or Go to our website that doesn't
exist One day One day it may It was not me Will
guarantee time and change one thing that'd be
close to the top of the list probably could be
You know, I think it's just this weird vortex
of weirdness that comes When you go to Yelm,
everybody go to Yelm. Yeah, Yelm, Washington.
Yelm is a nice place. It's a weird it's mostly
military up here. I like it and It's this Cyclone
of strange if you're not If you're not cool,
don't come to you. Oh, yeah. Yeah that if you
suck go away. Yeah If you're down with I just
letting other people be other people and minding
your own business and letting other people do
that to you, too Then yeah, you can come and
come hang out. I guess but if you're gonna if
you're gonna show up here trying to Push a narrative
and all that go to McKenna Yeah, you know, we
don't need your purple hair liberal ideas or
none of that because over here we like our guns
and Hick things and y 'all was not really like
that It's got it's got kind of roots like that
though. Yes, because it's a lot of military.
That's why that's that's where it comes from
You know God's people out here and it's all that
Conspiratorium out there just like like how come
all the big cities are blue is it? Is it the
cause and the effect or the effect before the
cause? I don't know man. I Don't know, but I'm
glad something like that here Yeah Again, please
if you if you're not cool, don't come here. Don't
ruin it for all of us And but he doesn't mean
you know, if you're blue or red, but you know
be cool I don't care if you're blue, but just
be cool about it man. Exactly Sometimes it's
why I don't talk with Certain people about that
stuff because they just get way too serial about
that stuff. It doesn't like young young is pretty
red I feel like but even I would if you're cool,
I would Welcome a blue point of view sometimes
if you're cool about it Yeah, if you have a good
point, it doesn't really matter what which that
comes from that's why we were like talking about
Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee's death, right mostly
cuz We had no clue that they were buried in Seattle.
What is their connection to Seattle? I don't
know. Like and comment and tell us why. Bet you
can tell us. I bet you don't know. I dare you.
Yeah. And that's... It's out there now. It's
on you guys. That's it. We put it out to the
universe. That's our story about Brandon Lee
and the curse of the Lees. Cuts through cuts
through like a haze chupa -cabras chupa -cabraj
chupa -nibre Skinwalkers we got to do that one
