$217M Worth Action Film Starring Dwayne Johnson Paid Tribute to Bruce Lee on Three Occasions

Just like the rest of us, Hollywood actors could also be fans of other stars. This was the case when Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson paid to martial arts legend Bruce Lee. When it comes to his taste in ‘Hollywood stars’, Johnson does not stand out from the ordinary. What makes Johnson different is that in one of his movies, Johnson paid tribute to Bruce Lee.

The world-renowned martial artist has received several praises for his work throughout history. However, The Rock went all in while paying him a tribute.

How did Dwayne Johnson pay tribute to Bruce Lee?

The Rock worked in the movie ‘Central Intelligence’ in 2016 with his friend Kevin Hart. The action-comedy movie proved to be a blockbuster. Not only was it profitable, making $217 million at the box office but the movie had plenty of positive fan reviews. In the movie, there were some important key details that you might have missed.

As mentioned on the official trivia page for ‘Central Intelligence’, three of these details were a tribute to the late martial artist and actor, Bruce Lee.

These ‘three nods to Bruce Lee’ in the movie are: black and yellow sneakers, one of Bruce Lee’s famous poses, and a one-inch punch. These tributes can be spotted throughout the movie. Although Johnson couldn’t receive increased screen time for these tributes, Hollywood fans would have picked up the hints as soon as they appeared on-screen.

Dwayne Johnson’s funny behind-the-camera moment

Johnson starred in the 2021 movie, ‘Red Notice’. The movie was again a hit among fans and also profitable for the production house. The trivia page for the movie on IMDb reported a hilarious detail about The Brahma Bull. It detailed a Porsche chase scene where Johnson struggled to get into the $100,000 supercar.

In fact, Johnson couldn’t fit inside the car at all and the director had to take several shots, which were then edited later to make one smooth scene.

From ‘Red Notice’ to ‘Central Intelligence’ and from not being able to fit into a car to a hearty tribute, we hope you found both the trivia entertaining.
