Title: Jim Kelly - R.I.P.
Post by: Moontrane on June 30, 2013, 12:21:48 PM: http://www.film.com/movies/enter-the-dragon-star-jim-kelly-dies-at-67

"Actor and martial artist Jim Kelly, who vaulted to fame alongside the legendary Bruce Lee in the classic 1973 action film “Enter the Dragon,” has died of undisclosed causes, his ex-wife Marilyn Dishman reported earlier today on her Facebook page."

I've read that it was cancer on other sites.

I met him not long after moving to CA. Nice guy, approachable,really fit.

And, has anybody seen pics of him without the Afro? Let's just say, we now know why he kept it for a long time.

Tough call.

Both were absolutely great QBs... neither got a ring, but it's tough to say.

You can make a case for either one.

Lol, no way. Kelly should have at least one ring. Think a kicker even lost one of those 4 SB he went to on a chip shot field goal

Ur close but he never said that. Check my post above.

Wut he said was...Hawaii! This jig ain't goin to Hawaii.

He had a passport to hong kong n was going according to the other cop "via hawaii". Wen I was a teen I helped tear down a neighbors barn got 1200 bucks. I was an electronics nut n the first one in my area to buy a Sony Betamax haha! I bought two movies. Enter te dragon n pumping iron. I can recite both those fn movies word for word. I watched every am before going to school. Drove my fucking family crazy
My poor mom had to watch Arnie every breakfast. She hated him then. Said he sounded too cocky n was afraid him n all this bb stuff was a bad road I was taking!!!

I think someone mentioned it as I was skimming, but there are plenty of field goals missed from 45+ yards all of the time.
