Bruce Lee's Whip/Stick

Looking at it again, I'm thinking more that it's a foil blade, coated with something. The taper is (probably) too extreme for bamboo. The color is irrelevant, since spray paint can be any color. Also, that tapping probably came from a foley artist in post production, not from the stick.

Back in the 1980s I was at a Dan Inosanto seminar. He was showing different Filipino weapons. One of them was a piece of rattan which had been taped down and had brass tip. It was definitely a specialized weapon, and I suspect something like it was the basis for Bruce Lee's weapon.
