Jim Kelly never said anything negative about Bruce and he also thought that Bruce was "untouchable" in his skill level .....so maybe he just rubbed this guy the wrong way or just didn't like him. The way this guy is bashing him here sounds personal.

Interesting that George talked of Shih Kien being on his last legs, and that he probably wouldn't be around much longer. He actually lived another 19 years after this program, passing away at age 96. Bob Baker would unfortunately die just a few years after this interview, in his early 50s; and Howard Williams would go on another 12 years, passing in 2012. If I had attended this event, I would have probably bored everyone stiff asking JKD questions of Howard Williams, lol

I went to one of these conventions around the same time at the same place organized by the same people I think and met Taky Kimura & his son at that one & still have the photographs & autograph from the day. I also went to another one at the Hyatt hotel where Shannon was attending, which I am a bit gutted about, as I was the only person in the room who didn't get to meet her after the talk, as I kept on having panic attacks at the time & kept on freaking out everytime I got in the queue to meet her, which is a real bummer now, when I think about it. I did manage to get a signed photo of her though, which I must have picked up from the merchandise store. I also have a recording somewhere of the Taky Kimura convention, which I am hoping to upload at some point, although it's audio only and the sound is probably quite poor.

They were concerned about capacity violations, people standing shoulder to shoulder in the isles, squeezing the fire exits , sitting on stairs and armrests in the balcony watching that movie. I was not present at this interview. I met Kelly backstage at a show in Chicago. He only chatted with me because I memorized his biography so I could ask the most informed questions about "him" . He side stepped a lot of questions about Lee and dodged ETD questions when he could. He wasn't rude. Just kind of removed. Thats when he said Lee was "pretty fast" but couldn't block his backfist. Thats reasonable. But it got worse. His attitude made him lose points. Wall was a friend of my instructor so I met him more than once when he was in town. He always referred to Lee as "kid". The Kid. I showed the kid this and that. I could take all his shots so he was not that tough to me". Maybe so on a good day. Then he got worse. Quite fragile and so unnecessary given their resume.

George Tan was dead on in his descriptions of the martial arts climate with the names mentioned. He hit it on the head with Wall and Kelly. You get older and you change your tune because they didn't realize these documentaries became a gravy train because they kept getting made so why not speak well of the "myth" for profit? Ed Parker on down, when Bruce was struggling, they felt above him. When he broke the gauntlet with the movies, they saw more green being associated with him than feeling green towards him. And Lee knew it the whole time. Tan was correct.

They are looking at photos of Bruce and Wall sparring on the set of Enter and they are really down grading Bruce saying how bad his form was, his arms are in the wrong place and Bob Wall was saying how easy it was to defend against Bruce. It's some pretty down playing things about him. I could upload it but the picture quality is terrible and keeps cutting off. I will find it and have another look at it, see if it's worth up loading. Thanks for your comment and watching the video 👍

@@GregProbert1971 ...absolutely and I did see that video and was depressed by it. I was ashamed of Wall. I know Wall and his wife personally. I met Kelly back in the seventies and Lewis at a function in the early nineties. And during those times , none of them could give me a straight answer about Lee without including themselves in comparison somewhere in the answer. Wall referred to Lee as a "kid", always a kid. Kelly would change the subject and Lewis said the one inch punch didn't exist, just a gimmick. The hypocrisy of it all...sellouts.

@@shihanUKS If you watch the London convention I uploaded all mention of Jim Kelly was cut out. I was there that day and clearly remember Tan stating Jim Kelly hair is completely gray now and he was a tennis coach along with all the same remarks about his attitude towards Bruce. In this Birmingham convention video when he mentions Kelly they have left the bulk of Tans remarks about Jim Kelly in but at one point when it cuts to the audience the audio is silenced for a few seconds and cuts back in to what Tan is saying about him. Three years after these conventions in 1993, Jim Kelly was the star guest ( along with ETD producer Paul Heller ). Did Shaolin Video edit Tans remarks about Kelly because they wanted Jim Kelly as a future guest? I attended that convention and Jim Kelly had nothing but praise for Bruce which lead me to think Tans words 3 years earlier were bullshit. Probably not and Jim Kelly wasn't doing his "I'm better than Bruce" act because he was on stage at a Bruce Lee convention and not a Jim Kelly convention. I really dislike Bob Wall. He's still selling " genuine Karate gi's from the Enter The Dragon set" for something like $30'000 each. There's an interview with him where he states the locker room fight in the 1978 Game of Death was filmed in 1972 with him and Bruce. He's beyond a joke! Thanks for your comments, you have some interesting things to say 👍

@@GregProbert1971 Id sure like to know what Tan said in the missing Kelly comment audio. Whatever happened to Tan anyway? He was supposed to be working on a book series called " Tracking the Dragon" back in the nineties. Nothing after that until this convention upload. Kelly was a guest at a show my instructor hosted. He had just done the"Three the Hard Way" movie. He shared a dressing room with Ron Van Clief and didn't like it. He barely spoke to van clief whose a nice guy. Some black belts present wanted to spar Kelly backstage. He said pay him three thousand for three minutes. One guy called his wife. She went to the bank, pulled it, and returned with cash. He later said his contract didn't allow matches while promoting films. He said Lee was pretty fast but couldn't block his punches especially his back fist strike. He frowned on discussing Enter the Dragon. He said it was a racist experience, his scenes shot at the last minute , his fights rushed, the extras calling him " red nigger" in chinese, his dialogue changed daily by Saxon's wife who rewrote his lines, and he wasn't supposed to die in the movie anyway. Bruce let him stage his own fights as a favor but didn't say anything about the acid pool death scene which he hated. He didn't want the close up of his face. They wanted it a lot bloodier. He was not a gracious person then.

Wow Wow amazing revelations, one blew me away though, and the offensive Jim Kelly put in his place and ostracised by all present.What comes around goes around. For me what was GROUNDBREAKING WAS THE Truthful collected response to several questions specifically when H .Williams is asked on a different video" the intercepting fist ",about the decline in talent, power ,enthusiasm of subsequent JKD followers who set out to teach JKD, ..He is asked who currently has a significant amount of speed and power from the first generation JKD students and can demonstrate it.. He said " there is only one person " ,Bob Baker .Peace.

@@rancedavis5106 George has a journalist background who ventured to write a multi volume book series covering behind the scenes of each of his films. He stayed in Hong Kong for a long time and had access to footage and information the industry had put away. His responses in this interview were straight from the hip as well as his manuscripts did. If he got published or not I don't know. But he did good work and his comments here were accurate.

Bob Baker was working for master Bruce Lee but he was hired by Raymond Chow to be with master Bruce Lee,, like a security guard,, however he became close to master Bruce Lee and he knew what they did to master Bruce Lee, and he did not wanted to work for Raymond Chow no more he left after master Bruce Lee was murder,, they have rumors about that he left and he went to ask for a lound of money to ask mis Linda Lee and mis Linda Lee gave it to him and that he never came back,, but I don't believe that unless mis Linda Lee Caldwell will say it her self,, people talk about only what they hear with out knowing the truth,, and he seem to be a very nice person God bless him master Bruce Lee you're the best.

The photos of them together in Hong Kong (apart from the filming of Fist of Fury) were the times Bob came to visit Bruce and give him his cocaine and other drugs. Other times Bob mailed them to him hidden in boxes containing clothes and other things. I've never seen any evidence to suggest he was hired by Raymond Chow to be with Bruce whats so ever.
