      I've been a Bruce Lee fan a long time, and never heard that in the early 70's Ali was offered by Bruce himself, Kareem's role in Game Of Death. I never heard that anywhere from Ali, Dan Inosanto, Bruce's Kids, nor his Widow Linda. According to IMDB, Ali turned down a role in the 1978 version of G.O.D., YEARS after had Bruce had died already, but turned it down because he thought it would exploit Bruce's death. Get your facts straight next time before you start spewing lies using exclamation points.

    • @stacystacksbeats999
      @stacystacksbeats999 6 лет назад +1

      It doesn't take much brain power to realize that in that era. Ali was considered the greatest fighter of all time. And Ali said he couldn't even eat in a restaurant. He talks about how unfair and jealous whites were of blacks namely him. because Ali was beating all their so-called white hopes. Ali was the champion of the world and very much hated by most all whites in that era. They thought they could shut ali up if Bruce Lee came to America and beat him, however, Bruce Lee was no fool. He admired Ali and said I quote ALI IS THE BEST FIGHTER IVE EVER SEEN. And Bruce Lees wife said Bruce had a room where he spent most of his time mimicking and watching Ali fights. You get your facts straight first!!! In Bruce Lees own book THE MAKING OF entering THE DRAGON. Bruce Lee says ALI WOULD KILL ME!!! Dream all you want, the little guy was only an actor and a very good con artist. That's why there is no footage of bruce lee in a real fight with a real champion!! just bull shit stories!!! you guys rather suck on a Chinese dick and swallow it down to the nub. Instead of giving true credit to our own professional American athletes. which we have tons!!!!

      Very convenient of you changing the subject...YOU said, and I quote: "because ali turned down bruce lees offer!" That's Bullshiit until you can provide us hard evidence Ali ''turned down'' Bruce Lee's offer to take the role Kareem was offered in ''Game Of Death''. Where's your evidence for that?...We NEVER heard that one before except from YOU, so you're just pulling that one out of your ass and just speculating with no evidence whatsoever. Where's your evidence Ali was ''offered'' by Bruce to be in Game Of Death before Kareem was offered it??

    yea you keep believing that! ali was asked to do the movie first but he turns it down because ali said to do a fight movie with you beating me would be lying to my people. and bruce lees wife said all Bruce did in his off time was watch films of ali fighting. bruce also said ali would kill him. its well documented and if you keep running your ignorant mouth I will post it here so everybody can see what Bruce said himself. I love Bruce lee and I will honor him by telling the truth about him because Bruce was an actor. yes people still believe in Santa Clause and so is the bruce lee lies..movies scenes are clips of edited parts. fighting in a real ring is a real event, anyone can see the stuff bruce lee did was average stuff done by kids in any dojo. bs all bs
