History Main / FunnyBruceLeeNoises

* Creator/MichaelWinslow does this in every ''Film/PoliceAcademy'' movie starting with the second one. (Where he first demonstrates skill in martial arts). Since he's also a ventriloquist, he also makes it look like everything he says in those scenes is being [[HongKongDub badly dubbed in]], just for fun.

* Jones does this in every ''Film/PoliceAcademy'' movie starting with the second one (Where he first demonstrates skill in martial arts). Since he's also a ventriloquist, he also makes it look like everything he says in those scenes is being badly dubbed in, just for fun.

* ''Film/TheyCallMeBruce?''. The title character makes a vague hissing noise when trying to convince people he really is as badass as Creator/BruceLee.

** Raiden also fits this trope with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76uYgQzyJZM his Torpedo move]], yelling what fans originally believed to be either Japanese phrases or [[{{Mondegreen}} weird English sentences like]] "Get back in the car!", "Gimme ma money!", "I humped my dog!", "Freddy bought a car!", "Your mother's from L.A.!" or even "Santa Monica!" before Midway revealed that Raiden was just screaming gibberish noises.

* Liu Kang of ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' fame makes this annoying. Midway decided to make it sound like turkey gobbles! (that's only when he does his Bicycle Kick, though)
** Raiden also fits this trope. He became notorious for yelling randomly while performing his Torpedo move in ''[[VideoGame/MortalKombat2 MKII]]''. Fans originally believed that he was yelling Japanese phrases. Interestingly, others thought that he was actually speaking English, and thus Raiden's phrases were misinterpreted as "Get back in the car!", "Gimme ma money!", "I humped my dog!", "Freddy bought a car!", "Your mother's from L.A.!" or even "Santa Monica!" Midway eventually revealed that Raiden was just screaming gibberish noises, and not actual words of any language.

* Tony Tony Chopper from ''Franchise/OnePiece'' does this when he uses his Kung Fu Point transformation.

* Theo, the Blue Ranger in ''Series/PowerRangersJungleFury'', tended to make nonstop Bruce Lee noises during battle, notable in a series where most of the Rangers actually practiced Chinese-based martial arts and none of the rest felt the need to do that.

* Private detective Lionel Whitney in ''Series/TenspeedAndBrownShoe'' is prone to making these when he goes on the defense against thugs or kicks open the occasional locked door. Unusually for this trope, Lionel has genuine karate skills -- he's a third-degree black belt -- but since he's played by a then-27-year-old ''Creator/JeffGoldblum'', the comedy remains. (Lionel's real problem is that, being an {{Adorkable}} gentleman, he tends to waste time ''warning'' his attackers of his skills, allowing them to get in the first hit.)

* {{Invoked|Trope}} in ''Anime/MagicalShoppingArcadeAbenobashi''; in order to invoke the powers of the "martial arts" world he and Arumi found themselves in, Sasshi had to "embrace the form; even if he didn't have the substance" (basically the "be water" adage in reverse). First he did the Bruce Lee thing with his nose, then started making noises; then he [[YourMindMakesItReal was Bruce Lee.]]

* Rafiki does this as he fights off the hyenas in ''Disney/TheLionKing''.

* In ''Discworld/ThiefOfTime'', a monk tries to intimidate Lu-Tze with [[{{Kiai}} "Ai! Shao! Hai-eee..."]] before learning his opponents name. [[OhCrap "-Ai! Hao-gng? Ohsheeeeeohsheeeeeee.."]]

* Private detective Lionel Whitney in ''Tenspeed and Brown Shoe'' is prone to making these when he goes on the defense against thugs or kicks open the occasional locked door. Unusually for this trope, Lionel has genuine karate skills -- he's a third-degree black belt -- but since he's played by a then-27-year-old ''Creator/JeffGoldblum'', the comedy remains.

* Kim Kaphwan from ''VideoGame/FatalFury'' and ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters''. Unlike most of the examples listed in this section, Kim ''isn't'' a BruceLeeClone (he's a Korean Taekwondoka) but lets out ''very'' [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Kenshiro]]-like battle cries during several of his attacks. The same applies to many of the other TKD practitioners in ''KOF'', such as Jhun Hoon, May Lee, and Chae Lim.

* Liu Kang of ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' fame makes this a DarthWiki/MostAnnoyingSound. Midway decided to make it sound like turkey gobbles! (that's only when he does his Bicycle Kick, though)

* Used hilariously on ''Series/{{Chuck}}'' in an episode early in Season 3. Chuck is [[PowerIncontinence unable to "flash"]] during a confrontation with a Ring operative he lured to the store to keep her away from Devon. So instead he tries to psyche the operative and her mooks out with this and a bit of posing, [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments then takes off running]].

* Fei Long from ''Franchise/StreetFighter'', particularly with how his dialogue is written out in ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Alpha 3]]'', cementing his status as BruceLeeClone. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Hwaieeeee-YAAHHHHHH]]!!!

* Liu Kang of ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' fame makes this a MostAnnoyingSound. Midway decided to make it sound like turkey gobbles! (that's only when he does his Bicycle Kick, though)

* Private detective Lionel Whitney in ''Tenspeed and Brown Shoe'' is prone to making these when he goes on the defense against thugs. Unusually for this trope, Lionel has genuine karate skills -- he's a third-degree black belt -- but since he's played by a then-27-year-old ''Creator/JeffGoldblum'', the comedy remains. (Lionel's real problem is that, as a gentleman who as per his training ''only'' uses his skills to defend himself, he tends to waste time ''warning'' his attackers of his skills, allowing them to get in the first hit.)

* April Hunter at Shine, in mockery of Su Yung and Mia Yim.

* The Chosen One in ''Film/KungPowEnterTheFist'' does this, though he does have some martial arts talent.

* Liu Kang of ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' fame makes this a MostAnnoyingSound. Midway decided to make it sound like turkey gobbles!

* {{Invoked|Trope}} in ''Anime/MagicalShoppingArcadeAbenobashi''; in order to invoke the powers of the "martial arts" world he and Arumi found themselves in, Sasshi had to "embrace the form; even if he didn't have the substance." (basically the "be water" adage in reverse). First he did the Bruce Lee thing with his nose, then started making noises; then he [[YourMindMakesItReal was Bruce Lee.]]

* Dante emits a high-pitched scream in ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry3DantesAwakening'' when using his Satellite special attack, available to his [[AnIcePerson Cerberus]] moveset. Despite the Devil Arm taking the form of ''three''-part [[FightingWithChucks nunchaku]], this is the only instance in which Dante yells like that.
