Why Circle of Iron, based on a Bruce Lee idea, turned out badly
==========
Circle of Iron, a 1978 film based on Bruce Lee's abandoned script The Silent Flute, was poorly executed with bad martial arts and mysticism; Bruce Lee conceived the idea in the late 1960s with Stirling Silliphant and James Coburn; David Carradine played the blind flute player, a role originally envisioned for Lee; Lee's original script was more violent and sexually explicit; production issues included injuries to lead actors Jeff Cooper and Carradine; martial arts choreography was inadequate due to producer Sandy Howard's lack of knowledge; Bruce Lee fans generally disliked the film.
