The Unfavorable Duty!

[sensei8]

For those who've seen, Enter The Dragon, I bring to you to the epic battle within the caverns on Han's Island between Lee and the untold number of guards.

As the battle raged on, Lee found himself trapped behind doors. Lee's fight with the guards was exceptional, so much so that Han himself had to admit that Lee's fighting skills were "Extra-ordinary".

Please pay close attention to the next paragraphs very first sentence!!

Next scene we see Lee's hands are bound behind him. There, across from him stands Mr. Roper with Bolo standing close to Lee, gripping a knife. Han delivers his speech, then orders Bolo to cut Lee's bindings from him. However, Roper doesn't want to fight Lee, as Han had hoped in his test of Roper. Bolo steps forward to ready to fight. Lee steps forward as well, but Roper places his right hand against Lee's chest, as if to say, "I got this!" So, Han assigns Roper to fight against Lee.

Roper dispatches Bolo handedly. Then, Roper and Lee kick some serious butt!!

Here's my question, and thank you for enduring my long introduction.

Whom were the unlucky guard(s) that had the unfavorable duty of entering Lee's make-shift cell, that he had been trapped in much earlier before, with the task of binding his hands behind him??

Who tied Lee's hands behind him??

Let's recap. Lee's taken care of dozens of Han's guards, especially that night in the caverns, including a very young Jackie Chan. Killed O'Hara one afternoon on the courtyards during Han's Tournament of Martial Arts in front of a small throng of spectators and competitors.

I'm one of the guards. I'm being told to join my fellow guards to tie Lee's hands up. Forget tying Lee's hands up behind him, I've got to go into his make-shift cell. Big deal, right? I'll have my fellow guards to help me.

Wait!!

Lee still HAS a pair of Nunchaku's. In the hands of Han's guards, no big deal. However, in the hands of Lee, well, nunchaku's are deadly!! And Lee has those nunchaku's wrapped around his neck.

Did Lee surrender? If so, why? To get close to Han? Lee didn't appear that he wanted to surrender earlier. If Lee did want to surrender, he has a funny way of doing so by beating up dozens of Hans guards. Was Lee rendered unconscious somehow from the perch above where Han had been standing just moments before?

As one of Han's guards, I believe that I would've refused to obey Hans orders to enter into where Lee was being held just so I can bind Lee's hands behind him. No...I don't think so! Not in this lifetime!! Not today!! Not tomorrow. I'll face Han, with his arsenal of strange "hands", instead of Lee!!

Thanks, but no thanks!!

Your thoughts, please!! I mean, Who tied up Lee's hands? And would you have tried? I mean, we're MAists too!! Surely we have the abilities to carry out Han's order...BIND MR. LEE'S HANDS!!

Very interesting scenario! I'm as big a fan of Bruce as anyone, but realistically, if he's confined to a space that small and 20 men bumrushed him, there's really nothing he could have done. He weighed 135lbs. So if about 3,400 pounds of human being suddenly subdued him, I doubt he could have overcome all of them. He may have been able to dispatch some, but he was confined to a small space.

I think the answer is that a bunch of random "hands" had to subdue him and bind those deadly hands!

I love your answer, solid!! Again, though, he had a pair of nunchaku's across his neck. But, I can still see that not meaning much eventually against a mob. Again, solid answer, one I hadn't thought about!!

Yeah, that's what I would go with. He knew he had a job to do, as well. Get close to Han, which was the assignment early on. Han had too much ego to be willing to just have him killed, so finally got enough guys together to make him realize he had to stop fighting for the moment.

And, its a movie, and that was the way the script was written.
