Enter the Dragon: Williams (Jim Kelly)

Comments for death : Enter the Dragon: Williams (Jim Kelly).

Yes, there was something very like a Bond villain in Han.

Williams would've kicked Hans ass had that metal hand not been on him....or not, I mean Han is the main villain, gotta give the old geezer some credit.

I agree, just look at his later fight with Lee, that hand is the only thing that stopped him from getting killed right off.

On an unrelated note, having seen this film two nights ago I notice that you cut out the fact that they did fight a bit more once Williams was knocked into the den (even if it was all for naught). I also notice you you... Exaggerated certain parts of the dialogue...

"Bin practissin' Huh?"

(old bluffer wearily appears once more on the site after a month of hard labour in the real world )

Which bits of the dialogue did I exaggerate?

You just erm... pushed the American accent a bit.

So what's been up in the cruel real world lately?

I don't think I pushed it enough. Williams' accent has a healthy dose of jive - for example, it sounds more like "boool sh*t mister han man!"

I really like the Williams character - he gets far more screen time and backstory than you'd expect for the genre of film - especially given that he dies.

I've just looked up Jim Kelly and am pleased to hear he's alive and well in California. Wouldn't it be great if Tarantino decided to cast him in a new film?!

I also need to catch up on his back catalogue - Black Belt Jones would appear to be an essential purchase...

In the real world, I am suffering on a daily basis in London's incredibly efficient underground people crushing device, known affectionately as "the tube" (presumably named after the goit who designed it).

Appaently John Saxon's (Roper) agent managed to convince the producers to swap Roper and Williams fates. Apparently, Roper was the one going to die. This is according to the IMDb trivia section. This makes sense to me, as Williams chatting up the women seems more suited to Roper, as he seemed more in awe of Han's lair and hospitality. Roper's "uh oh" reaction to drugs in Han's lair seems more suited to Williams, personally.

Good to see you around, OB. I thought you might have forgotten about us!

Interesting, but I wish IMDB's trivia notes were backed up by citations. I know they're just a bit of fun, but without references they are far from authoritative.

Who knows, maybe they come straight from the actors/crew themselves?

I definitely wouldn't be surprised, heck I'm surprised he hasn't already after Tarantino "revived" another famous blaxploitation star! On a side-note Kien Shih is also still alive, but I doubt he'll be making an appearance in any upcoming Tarantino films.
