I love to listen to Bob. What a great guy.
I will always remember him in Enter the dragon film because he was brilliant in it! Playing the tough bad guy and his look in film looked so real! R.I.P legend!
I love Bob wall. Those were the times when actors worked for sheer love of work 😌
“O’Hara’s hairpiece has disgraced us”
"It's a hairpiece of epic proportions"
LOL !
Thanks for the laugh!
😂😂😂
Brilliant stuff lol
Bob Wall use to scare me when I was a kid. I thought he played such a great villain in Bruce Lee movies.
Bob didn't scare me as a kid but he DID look intimidating in Enter the Dragon. I always thought he was a larger man than he is. Then you see him in Bruce's other films...as a kid you don't really question most of what we see and hear (e.g. like Bruce's fight philosophies, the fight choreography, or Bruce's history...). Then the decades pass after Bruce's death. We hopefully get a little wiser...and we start questioning allegations...(e.g. that Bruce was challenged by stuntmen, street fights...famous alleged fight with a Wong Jack Man..). Not a shred of proof any of that happened. We never cared back then that Bruce never finished studying a single martial art. That he never competed. Put together a martial art...JKD...from picking what he thought worked for him. How could any one do that w/o COMPLETELY studying the system?? Then spending years after that to "master" that system. :) Bruce was a good martial artist/great martial arts film star/and a marketing genius. He managed to market himself into the name he still is today. We're talking about him on another level---the internet. Didn't exist in the early 70's. Over 40 years later. Countless documentaries. Bio movies. Some pittiful some well done. He's still fatured in magazines...very amazing to me...they creat articles to feature his ideas in...year after year. :) What other man has this going on? Not Mohammad Ali. Chuck Norris? I guess once in a blue moon...but there's been no Norris boigraphies on DVD/BluRay or film. I used to worship Bruce...Bruce's films also but Bob on the map. Like Norris.
@@AGC828 Linda Lee was a witness to the Wong jack man fight she’s in a few documentaries telling the story.
$75 a week and room and board. LOL And they made a freaking CLASSIC MOVIE .
But dont forget 75 of 1972 is not 75 of now its a lot of money
$75 in 1972 was about $460.33 in today's value.
yeah, $75 a week, but Bruce Lee wrapped on the sixth day so he probably paid them $5.
@@ex90steen78 before I didn't even born yet lol
He didn't care about the money He just wanted to be in a movie with Bruce Lee. he probably would have done it for free.
It's nice to see these memories shared! It did strike me though how times had change. Now, a passenger blocking the door of a plane and telling the other passengers "Would you please wait just a minute? They're still shooting outside" would probably be treated a lot differently!
Good guy Bob Wall!!! Really honest and kept Bruce Lee's heritage and story real and truthful!! Thank you Bob!! R.I.P!!!
A REAL Martial artist! So much so he trained under Chuck Norris and became one of Bruce's bodyguards!
Bob Wall is a true friend of Bruce Lee’s. 👍
RIP Bob Wall ur a good friend of Bruce lee
Bob Wall was a scary man to me when, as a kid, I watched Enter The Dragon back in 1974. I think he is a tremendous actor. Bless him.
He is a first class actor. His delivery of the line 'You Must Attend The Morning Ritual In Uniform' made cinema history. It is a crime his performance was overlooked by The Academy.
kings of old time you all will be remembered for all time
One of my favorite Bruce Lee movies!!!
He’s A Legend
sadly he passed
He is a living legend and a class act
wow what a story ..historical amazing info //love you bob wall....
RIP Bob Wall
The full version of this Bob Wall interview was also included on Criterion's Bruce Lee box set that they released last year...and the way Bob Wall goes after the director Robert Clouse every opportunity he gets, is absolutely hilarious. Constantly refers to him as "asshole, idiot, piece of shit, worst director in the world Bob Clouse..." lol
Immortalized in both movies!! You had your nuts crunched in Way of the Dragon and stomped out in Enter the Dragon!!
totally different then how Chuck tells the story. Chuck always brings up he was world champion at that time & acts like everyone else was excited.
Yeah, Chuck's version is way, way longer too. "You just want to beat a world champion." Blah, blah. Anyway it was supposed to be Joe Lewis, so Chucky wasn't first choice.
@@jeremyjameslatham5094 world champion in tagging
He wasnt a real world champion they were held in one state and called it a world championship, Lee handled him like a father would a child!
Bob wall looked like a fighter back in those days age has changed him inside and out 100% now.
That was nice of him to let Wall tag along. Normally Norris doesn't take a plane when he flies to Europe.
The tiger rug Inosanto sits on in Game , that was a tiger that tried to play hardball with Norris ;)
Bob wall is awesome
O'HARA !
That’s so fucking awesome. That was chuck arriving and Bruce paid him like an extra lol!!!!!
Bob, Chuck and Bruce were the world's best at the time. I read a story about Bob talking about movie extras challenging Bruce to a fight on Enter the Dragon and he said these Black belts didnt understand the difference in Black Belts vs World Class fighters. I studied under Grandmaster Zulfi Ahmed in Houston back in the early 90s (Bushi Ban Karate Do- just a Green Belt) I moved out of state and tried to find another school like Bushi Ban but I was sadly dispappointed. I tried a Tae Kwon Do school but they gave away their belts. Told a new Black Belt member of this school never to underestimate athletic ability or your opponent. He laughed arrogantly because he had a shiny new black belt I was a three sport athlete at the UNIVERSITY of TEXAS, meaning I was an phenomenal athlete but still nowhere near World Class. He and I sparred one day and I took him down in 10 seconds and stopped my punch one inch from his nose and said YOUR DEAD!!! He was a weinie...a pudgy wimp who thought he was a bad-azz. IDIOT...he quit because he was taken down by an ORANGE Belt in Tae Kwon do and everyone laughed. TOP ATHLETIC ABILITY adds 2-3 belt levels to your actual belt rank. Bruce Lee was a WORLD CLASS ATHLETE,equal to Tom Brady, MIchael Jordan or say Greg Maddux's ability to pitch. Bruce was a Hall of Fame level athlete Black Belts with little athletic ability do not cocern me. Just uncoordinated people that stayed at a subpar school long enough to pay for their blacks and not being close to earning it
Bob Wall legend !
Kool, never knew that scene was real.
great trivia story. clever budget friendly filming. typical bruce to be economical. will rewatch that scene now.
&Not2Yield Chuck said the movie's budget was 145 grand, it ended up grossing 60 mill worldwide.
For inflation, in 1972 $45,000 = $852,000 today and 60 million = 364 million today. So imagine in today's time you are fresh out of high school and/or college (an independent filmmaker/director) and you want to make a movie. You spend $852,000 on it and it's a huge hit and it ends making like $364,000,000 worldwide. That's one hell of a profit margin.
---"So imagine in today's time you are fresh out of high school and/or college" ---"You spend $852,000" lol
Bob u rock
$75 a week and you are now immortal on film.

Si hubiera Sido por Bruce Lee, estás karatecas no hubiera Sido conocidos.
Chinese know how to save money.
I got to train with Bob Wall at J.J. Machado Brazilian jiu-jitsu studio and Bob told me all kinds of stories about Bruce Lee and Gene LeBell. Bob Wall was/is a big fan of Gene Lebell who trained Bruce Lee in grappling.
Hayward Nishioka and Jesse Glover trained Bruce in Judo.
@@AztecUnshaven Hayward Nishioka is a Gene LeBell student.
@@davidtice4972 Hayward studied under his step dad Dan Oka. Hayward also became a Pan American Gold Medalist. But yeah, he also trained part of his career with Gene. Jesse Glover was also a strong Judoka... and became close friends with Bruce, and his first student in California.
@StanlyStud LOL at your utter stupidity! Bob Wall says he was. LeBell twisted Bruce Lee up like a pretzel.
RIP
Not much is known about Bob Wall, if you are not a fan of martial arts and the kung fu stuff. Contrast this to Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris, where their lives and careers are well documented.
what people don't realize is that 75 isn't bad at all for 1972.
Yeah money had more value back then! My grandpa could get food easy back then. America was different and people were simpler and not money greedy! That's why there were many warriors during that time! 70s golden age of fighting even karate was the thing back then!
I know. People don't even want to work for their money anymore.
I just googled it. $75 was the equivalent of $440 today.......wow!!!! With inflation, this means that with $75 in 1972, you could buy the equivalent of $440 worth of groceries or items today.......whatever you could buy today for 440 is what you could have gotten in 1972 with 75.
@@SadisticSultan cool fact. Thanks
75 a week lol hahahahahaaha.. bethe wished he stayed home and carried on with the schools... aye but look what come out of it,, bob wall left a legacy now.. and is a known legend.
impact glory No I bet he doesn't, that is what made him famous and rich today.
***** And Game of Death.
+Zain844 Exactly, He got to be in a movie with Bruce Lee, and of course he was personal friends with Bruce Lee too, he can count himself lucky.
And most people don't have that vision to use opportunities
+Vicky Mooney He did THREE movies with Bruce.
🙏
You loose, Carl Miller!
lose
manager of the best----dennis alexio
Bob Wall, the kinda guy who'll beat ass but cool to play chess with and talk business.
I wonder if he dyes his hair?
Looks like he spent his $75 on head protection!!!
lego head hair do bwahahahahah!!!!!
He look like a ragdoll
Uh...Bob kinda showed up.
What's up with his hair? Is he wearing a wig?
😂😂😂
Really? $75 /wk? Even in the early 1870's...wasn't that a little low? :)) Wonder if BW gets tired talking about Bruce. :) Being an accomplished martial artist at the time. Interesting Chuck Norris didn't own a chain of schools on his own but actually owned 50% of them with BW. :) He's been telling people he owned a chain of schools..."1/2 truth" :)
Hair don't grow back
You lose Carl Miller....
You know bob says great stuff about Bruce on film yet he said worse behind closed doors
I always felt Wall was a bit Cocky...
It's never about the money.. lol..
The hair dye is a bit much.
HA!
When he was young , he was handsome, the oldness turns him very ugly.
we know he's bald. please just accept it.
That is the most ridiculous hair piece I have ever seen!!!!! :)
Bruce Lee didnt like Wall and wasnt thrilled when he showed up with Norris.
tha fuck is that thing on his head?
Bruce once said he would avoid facng Bob Wall in a real fight.
Dam he looks outta shape
he is old.
Please Bob, easy on the hair dye big guy, it doesn't look very good.
Norris is fake jelous man
Thats a really bad hair peice.
what a crap story. doesn't he have anything interesting to tell?
RIP Bob Wall
