You guys ever noticed in Way of the Dragon w/Bruce Lee and Ong Bak w/Tony Yaa that there is a major similarity in the two films???
Ever notice how when Bruce or Tony somehow knocks out a gun or a weapon from a bad guy's hands, our heroes never pick em up for their own advantage??? What we have is Bruce or Tony continue attacking the rest of the heavily armed baddies with their bare hands for the most part.
What gives??? Does this make sense???
Is this a part of some universal martial arts code i never heard of??? If it was me and i somehow knock a gun/knife/weapon outta an attackers hand (the odds might be stacked up against me though!) and have the chance to pick it up, i would!!!!!! Especially if i know there are more attackers around armed with weapons!!!
Or is this done in the movies to show the honour of the martial arts in regards to not killing an opponent??? What about the martial art styles that encourage "do what you must to survive" tactics??? Like Wing Chun or the Filipino arts???
I'm sure in real life if Bruce Lee faced the situations he faced in "Way of the Dragon" he would probably have shot and stabbed a few of those guys set out to kill him if he had the chance.
