 The alley set where Bruce Lee (I) (qv) fights his fellow  restaurant workers was washed out for three days straight as a  typhoon moved through Hong Kong, putting the production three days  behind schedule. The scene was going to be cut altogether when a  Chinese gaffer told director Rob Cohen (I) (qv) that he could  erect a giant tent over the set that would allow the shoot to  continue. At 3 a.m. the next morning, Cohen came down to the  ballroom of his hotel to see the entire Chinese crew and their  families piecing together the giant plastic tent. At 8 a.m. it was  erected over the alley set and Cohen began filming.
