But that's okay. He doesn't use nunchucks.

Cough ninja edit

I had a quickie look at the Wikipedia page.

The use of nunchaku was, in the 1980s and 1990s, censored from UK rebroadcasts of American children's TV shows such as ThunderCats and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoons and films. The UK version of ThunderCats edited out nunchaku used by the character Panthro. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles needed to be edited, the nunchaku used by Michelangelo were edited, until they were replaced by a grappling hook. The UK version of the video game Soul Blade was also edited, replacing the character Li Long's nunchaku with a three-sectioned staff.

I've watched some Bruce Lee youtube videos and reading the comments, many old UK fans said Bruce Lee Movies were heavily edited and the nunchuck scenes were completley cut. Sounds like they were blown away by how cool nunchuks are when they were finally able to see the full unedited version from their Chinatown VHS copies. Amazing that the UK was still censoring into the 90s lol

Damn, the yanks of Europe.

Always good to know where the forced hokeyness in our “culture” comes from.
