Remember him in "Enter The Dragon" ? (credited as Yang Sze - he played Bolo)
Sammo Hung was also in "Enter The Dragon" - he fought Bruce Lee in the opening scenes in front of the monks.

One of the greatest movie fights ever filmed !
The part where Bruce lays Chucks' gi jacket and belt over his dead body is very poignant I think.
I love the nunchaku fight in the alley in 'Way of the Dragon'
"Dragon seeks path. Dragon whips his tail" ! Brilliant !!
Bruce Lee fans have even visited the Colliseum to find the exact place where they fought - not realising they actually fought in a film studio in Hong Kong !

- was when BBC2 showed the now-unobtainable The Butterfly Murders about 15 years ago.rosenthalaaron1983

I think Sammo must get himself a cameo in every kung fu film made 
I love those parts too. The part with Bruce laying the jacket over Chuck's body also shows Bruce's philosophy IMO, even though they were fighting to the death, Bruce still takes time to pay respect to a fellow human being.
I watched Game of Death 2 last night OK its cheesy but it has great fights - eg Kim Tae Jung v Lee Hoi San (Magnificent Butcher) and Hwang Jang Lee - brilliant

Does anyone remember this
They Call Me Bruce?
I remember it being a fave of mine in the late 80s..... or maybe it was the sequel. The date seems more likely to be that.
Edit: It was the original as I remember him being a chef.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Great screenplay and acting, engaging characters, and wonderful cinematography. Typical of Asian cinema, the ending is 'balanced''. It's sad, but at the same time uplifting.
Hero
The film has a very interesting structure, again the acting is great, in particular Jet Li, who is so much better acting in his native language. The cinematography in this film is superb and is key to the structure/plot, so it doesn't feel 'pointless'.
Again, it has that asian sense of balance - sadly lacking in Westerm films where the 'good guys' always win, and the baddies always 'lose'.

Fearless is a good film. Showcases the versatility of Jet Li. Great weapons work as well as Kung Fu.

I don't like Martial Arts films with wire work in them. "Wire - Fu", I think they are called

"Game Of Death"
Not a bad martial arts film, but some of the thing they did in that !!
A cardboard cut-out of Bruce Lee's face in the dressing room with Hugh O'Brian
Awful "cut-ins" of the real Bruce during stand-ins fights !
During the locker room fight with Carl Miller (Bob Wall), there is a glimpse of Bruce from "Way of the Dragon", with a BRICK wall in the background. The locker room had pale grey walls !!
BUT...when the REAL Bruce Lee action starts in the restaurant with Danny Inosanto etc - WOW !!
BRILLIANT STUFF !
