These interviews are infinitely better than Jimmy Fallon giggling and asking tabloid questions.
Yea can't stand Jimmy's fake laugh. Bring back Leno.
@@EazyE11 Leno was the worst of all the major talk show hosts. Carson wanted Letterman to take over, Fallon has returned the variety edge that The Tonight Show had under Carson where the host wasn't afraid to do physical skits, comedy etc. Leno was a great stand-up comedian but as a talk show host he took himself too serious and played it safe. The clue to Fallon is the same as Carson, let them be themselves. They've tried to make Fallon's show more political to compete with the likes of Colbert and Kimmel, which is the wrong way to go. Carson was never political and neither should they force Fallon to be.
@@nerd_in_norway "Leno was the worst of all the major talk show hosts." *The Magic Hour has entered the chat.
Ur wise😂
Talking about Fallon on a video that has nothing to do with him, you must be a fallon fan in the closet
His voice is so peaceful.
Chuck has a great voice.
"Did you sue the bastards?" "They are stuntmen..."
Class act 💘
@@synthWizkid yep. he's a class act, not class action 😆
Humble
Chuck is a very humble man. Always has been.
R. I. P. Brandon Lee 1965-1993
💫
Humble, very humble man, Chuck Norris
Yeah except when he talks about Bruce lol
@@TCM215You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Chuck Norris, very humble yet extremely tough man
This is so cool, two legends having a legendary conversation 👏
Chuck Norris is the type of guy who gives speeding tickets to cops
Well he is the Sheriff♓ Ranger but he did not shoot the 🤔Deputy🤷♂️.
Heroes in my 62 years,My father,my mum,then Chuck Norris,simple choices.
Three months before this interview Brandon Lee died.
Chuck just turned 82 a few days ago
I wish the best for Mr. Noris
Brandon Lee would’ve been the biggest star in Hollywood.. he was simply brilliant & gorgeous. I can’t help suspecting foul play
His dad died under myserious circumstances and I heard they were somehow tangled with an Asian mob. I don't know if any of it is true but it does send up red flags, and it would be easy enough to switch in a real, loaded gun into an action movie.
He was supposed to play Liu Kang and he was supposed to play Bruce Lee in Dragon. Died so young.
Bruce Lee's Grandfather was the richest man in Hong Kong
@Dao Yang So you’re saying Jason Scott Lee and his crew are responsible?
He was not supposed to play his father. He had no interest in doing so.
Im watching this in 2022, and feel u cud hav allowed Chuck Norris to speak..u were speaking more than him. CHUCK NORRIS is a legend like Bruce Lee and respect to him. During my childhood iv watched their awesome movies. Fantastic stars...Love you Chuck Norris from India

He's not dead...
i know he isn't .....but the others r.....and there greatly missed....looking at that makes me feel so old ....I'm sure i was just a kid when that was on..
@@angelachandler8556 What others? The only person he talked about that is dead is Brandon Lee.
Always liked Chuck Bruce and Brandon..
Chuck Norris is 82, long live the king
When Chuck Norris does push-ups he's actually pushing the world down.
When Chuck Norris gets pulled over by a cop, the cop gets off with a warning. When Chuck Norris goes to Burger King and asks for a Big Mac, he gets it. When death knocks on Chuck Norris's door, he becomes immortal.
The “you” in KZhead is actually referring to Chuck Norris.
*I never thought there was a scene in "Braddock" shot in the* 🇵🇭 .
Is this channel ever going to show Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason and/or Art Carney? I don’t have the Decades network.
Given the fact that both Bruce and his own son Brandon, who followed similar paths in life, BOTH died of a mysterios o nset death make you really wonder.
(2:40) This made me think about the Alec Baldwin incident, that happened just yesterday (ie. at the time of my comment)
Hey Chuck.
the military has a death from the same issues human error during training blanks can hurt you in the wrong situation and we have used live ammo at times
What? We had blank adapters to prevent that. Blue on blue of course can- and has- happened.
In grade school, Chuck Norris received a F grade for recess because he don't play.
One of the worst is The Twilight Zone Movie disaster with Martin Landis, Vic Morrow & two children...
Chuck Norris has a mug of nails instead of coffee in the morning.
What year was this.
1993, May 14th.
The main lead of film getting killed on set cannot be an accident movie mafia took his life and his fathers Late Bruce lee too 😢...
Stunts can get deadly.
Interesting how Chuck says that he'd heard both ways were disproven. All the (admittedly limited) research I've done into Lee's death points to a dummy round being stuck in the barrel and shot out by the blank cartridge discharging.
Instead buying professionally made dummy bullets so they can show the actor loading the gun with real looking unspent ammo and pointing it an pretend like he firing it , Some goof on the movie set just removed the bullet slug from the shell and drain out the gun powder and stuck the slug back in the shell. , He did not fire the percussion cap when the slug was out of the shell , and the blast in side the shell from the percussion cap put out enough force to fire the slug in to Brandon bowels , he started bleeding badly in side and thy could not get him open in time to saw him up, he bleed out and when in to shock and die on the sugary table :( The actor who shot the gun at him was surprise it really fired :(
he would've looked like Big Boss Snake!
Remember when Seagal said that when Brandon died he was the first person they called to figure it all out?
OMG seriously? So Seagal actually said that? That guy is so full of BS it's crazy haha
Man oh man glad to hear he didn't lose his face nor his eye sight. Woulda been good if Scorsese or Kubrick cast him for a movie.
I wanted to hear about how he can slam revolving doors!
have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rare much like the other Cavett ones.
Professional wrestlers are stuntmen and its deadly wrestlers have died in the ring its no different when working a film stuntmen have died on film
Chuck Norris once got a speeding ticket while jaywalking.
Chuck Norris once roundhouse kicked someone so hard that his foot broke the speed of light
Chuck norris gave the answer but without naming anyone thats why hes alive
Sono deyot lovo Davide
Chuck Norris doesn’t call the wrong number, you answer the wrong phone
Chuck, Segal and Carradine all attended Brandon's funeral.
Aww not what I like to hear, I motivate better things., sad :( Oh I love Chuck!!
native toungue serves spicy hab an arrow sauce....habib habitual dis and dat
Chuck is an american hero! CHECK OUT: Fight Motions of Bruce Lee Movies by Kurt Scherl
Steven Seagal knows what and how the accident happened. Steven has said he was asked to investigate the case of Brandon Lee's death (yes, I don't understand why he was asked to investigate the case? Maybe because he's a CIA agent ) But nevertheless, he resolved it.
I honestly hope you don't actually believe any of that.
haha I don't think so
Chuck Norris is the imaginary space cowboy Ranger named Maurice, of a former country that seceded from the Union once before; one that would serve the other states and territories well if it removed itself from the alliance again.
I agree with Mr. Norris about the foul play. Esp if police tested the “theory” and it couldn’t work. There were a couple disgruntled people on that set, so who knows.
Brandon Lee almost got killed on the set of Rapid Fire, he even said it himself, "I spent a lot of time possibly getting killed in this movie" On the set of the Crow most of the filming crew were so crazy. For example, they were working 18 hours a day. 90-100 hours per week. The only superhero's on that North Carolina movie set was Medic Clyde D. Baisey, Ernie Hudson, and Brandon Bruce Lee.
"IN HOLLYWOOD,... ALOT OF PPL TURN UP MISSING!..." ✌️😪 YE VOICE..... CHUCK NORRIS..... "U ONE SMAARRT MAAA AN." FORREST GUMP VOICE. ☺️✌️😉

@The RighteousDude no one want to hear that :)
ok your right :) no one check is the barrel of the gun if it was clear before loading the blanks :( only go`s to show people work in movies are dick heads
@The RighteousDude Dude! "Where did you get your research?!" You should be asking yourself the same question. Brandon Lee was not murdered, negligence was involved, but not malicious intent.
Dick Cavett iwas always kinda weird.
Chuck is cool, but he has had so many stunts he cannot count. Jet Li etc. are another things. Cheers...
Even Mr Chuck Norris saying something is just not Right about Mr Bruce Lee son Brandon Lee death 😳
Was there ever a worse actor?
Yes
Chuck is a martial artist, first and foremost, and a formidable one at that. And you are?
Keanu Reeves is a great guy, but he was a worse actor.
@@Mr-E. I was gonna say no but now you mention it, Keanu is indeed worse.
Have you ever seen any of Ed Wood films? Just take your pick of any of the actors in those films.
i hate these kind of stories that have the phrase "Well, you could have easily lost a, or easily died" ... I got in my car today and took a drive, i came to an intersection, and could easily have died ! I sure am glad i stopped at the sign ! that was a close one ! ... oh yeah, my life is full of danger and i am such a hero !
BRANDON LEE WAS MURDERED
What a joke. Chuck thinks he could beat Bruce Lee. He thinks he is the best thing on planet earth. Makes his own show Walker Texas Ranger, where he is the best at EVERYTHING ! Bahaha ! Yea, right. Whatever. I think Bruce, Van Dam, Segal, can kick his butt.
WTH are you even talking about ??? Chuck Norris never said He can beat Bruce Lee stop mistaken from actor Chuck Norris to real humble Chuck Norris in real life, and nobody has more respected for Bruce Lee than Chuck Norris these two go way back they both are Legends period these two guys knows each other way longer than you was in diapers or before you was born probably so please shut Up you sounds childlish who has no clue what you are talking about and this coming from someone who been a huge fan of both Bruce and Chuck since the 80's however Bruce died in year 1973 way before I was born, but I been growing Up watching all of Bruce Lee movies and watch his real martial arts training of documentary videoes when He was a kid in China different training in muitple martial arts many different weapons of his art crafts.
he never said that in this video
What ever happened they brought a whole blood line to an end...
First of all, who's, " they " ? . It was an accident. And second, Lee's bloodline wasn't brought to an end. He had a daughter, Shannon who has a child, Bruce Lee's grandchild. The bloodline continues.
