    Fun Fact: Jim Kelly in a 2012 interview said he was offered a "comeback" role in Rush Hour 3, by the director...
    and they were ready to film. Then all of a sudden, the deal was off.
    It was said that "allegedly" Chris Tucker didn't want Kelly to steal any spotlight from him.
    I'm like, Chris Tucker wouldn't have a job if Jim Kelly didn't pave the way for him.

    Black Belt Jones 2 isn't a sequel its a different film that they slapped the name on it because Jim Kelly is in it. Which isnt much because its a kung fu movie from hong kong where they keep calling him black guy. Black Samurai from 1976 is more of a spiritual sequel to Black Belt Jones which i feel you should check out. Also Three The Hard Way from 1974 is another one of his classics you should watch as it starred three of the big stars of black action movies/action movies of the 70s.

      Sequel to Black Belt Jones is actually Hot Potato (terrible film). BB Jones 2 real title is The Tattoo Connection.

    • @texvor6949
      @texvor6949 2 месяца назад

      Hot potato isnt a sequel to BBJ he's not even referred to as Black belt jones in that film like he was in BBJ film where he was called BB or Black Belt most of the time . In Hot potato they just used the same surname for a NEW character played by the same actor which wasnt uncommon at the time . Also it was more of a spoof unlike BBJ. If it was a sequel they would have ACTUALLY used black belt jones in the title since that was a success. Like they did with Cleopatra Jones which was made by the same film company. Its just newcomers like you who don't know that like the fact you thought you educated me on a title of a film that everyone knows and already MENTIONED in other comments. I didnt need to mention it because the host of the channel already KNEW what i was talking about since she MENTIONED it in the video which you'd know had you WATCHED it.

So i looked her up. Her name is Esther Sutherland an she was a jazz blues and gospel singer and actress. She also did comedy. She was 43/44 years old when she did this movie. She also guest starred in the jeffersons, sanford and son and appeared in that dolly parton film 9 to 5 movie As well as being in some big blaxploitation films that you might end up reacting to. She passed away back in 86 at 54 years old. Rest in power Esther Sutherland.

Kelly's association with Enter the Dragon was enough for him to get six films out of it including this one which made Kelly the second martial artist to head line american movies after lee but the FIRST american martial artist action movie star in hollywood who briefly sat on the throne Lee vacated(yes incels i said it because its true and a fact) before hollywerid cut the cord on the blaxploitation genre in 77, and the rise of the hong kong kung fu boom and golden age with the rise of jackie chan (which took him years to cross over into hollywood) and the sub par moies of chuck norris who was the second american martial artist action star and replaced lee and kelly as the king of kung fu/action movies in hollywerid. But if you think i'm just saying that wait till you see black samurai and you will see your initial impression was the right one. Anyway kelly couldnt take the name black dragon which was the nickname and movie of another black american martial artist and film star Ron Van Clief who was known to be a badass in real life and where Shonuff from the last dragon was based on as ron had a habit of getting into fights for the sake of it including having a brawl in a movie theatre. He was the first american to headline a hong kong kung fu movie while Carl Scott a black american became the 4th or 3rd to headline a kung fu movie but unlike everyone else he was just as fast as his chinese counterparts and the best out of the three.
