Re: "17. Bruce Lee was so fast that they actually had to s-l-o-w film down"


Did they slow the film down in the camera?   

Or in the projector at the theater?

If you slow the film down in the camera (which, as a registered cynic, I rather suspect is what was actually done), the projected action on the screen will appear faster.

If you slow the developed film down in the projector (which is implied by the statement, I think) the movement on the screen will appear slower.
