I’m a 54 year old black man I have respect for Jim Kelly and I thought he was a really good martial artist! But he wasn’t my black Bruce Lee when it came to martial arts, Bruce was my idol when it came to martial arts and I don’t give a damn what color or nationality he was!!

RIP Jim Kelly...as long as Enter the Dragon is being played you're alive in your prime.

Rest in Peace Jim, you live on in your movies, forever young!

What an intelligent and well thought out interview. Jim K. speaks like a college professor. I loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A truly great man - Jim Kelly. One of the few fortunate beings who was up close and personal with the one and only Bruce Lee. RIP Bruce Lee, my idol.😭

My sister had a tremendous crush on Jim- like a lot of females did.he seems like a great guy, well spoken, low key.

Jim Kelly is really soooooooooooo simple, respectable, disciplined man.

The humility in this guy is incredable. I always admired him. :)

Jim is the only one that tells truth about Bruce lee

We all must always remember Jim Kelly ... because he was the first black man who break the barriers for black martial artist around the world in movies....he star in enter the dragon with the legendary ​master Bruce Lee, John Saxon, Bob walls, Bolo yeung and the others.....he should have been bigger than he was....but as we all know everyone who is good and should be up there doesn't get what they deserved....so we must always remember a legend....RIP JIM.

The Late Legendary "Jim Kelly" One Of My Favorite Person's. Still Can't Believe This Wonderful Brother Is Gone. His Spirit Will Live Infinitely In Our Heartz. Peace, Realness And Love!!!!!.

Jim Kelly still looks good and physically fit at sixty something, thanks for this interview, and for bringing us this great man.

A legend by his own right (or hand) Miss you Jim Kelly. RIP

Jim Kelly was one of my favorite's

RIP Jim Kelly.

Wow ! How sad. I didn't know this guy died last year. I will never forget him from Enter The Dragon with Bruce Lee back in 1973. Wow - He was only 67. The average human life-span is 70 to 80 years of age - But, I wouldn't of expected Kelly to die at that young. He was no Bruce Lee - But he was awesome in his own right. He got killed in that movie. In those days - Black guys were rarely, if ever the star of the movie, so they usually got killed off in the movie. Too bad - he was a pretty good Martial artist.

Warner Bros. weren't so sure about it, they thought they needed a 'star' in the film for it to succeed; hence the inclusion of John Saxon. It was scripted that Roper (Saxon's character) was to be killed; to which Warner Bros. said 'No': for John Saxon to be featured Williams (Kelly's character) was to be killed instead.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jim Kelly at Supanova 2012 in Melbourne yesterday. As a long time fan of Enter The Dragon, the chance to meet one of the stars made me go to a convention for the first time. He was warm, friendly and easy to talk to. Thank you to Mr Kelly for helping to make my first visit to a convention so enjoyable. He is The Man.

Bless you Jim Kelly! you and Bruce made me get into the Arts!!!

RIP Jim. I know you didn't even see your passing coming. You were too busy looking good.

An amazing man and Icon, so down to earth yet, funny, easy going, classy all in one. RIP Jim Kelly!

Got to admit it; Jim Kelly as "Williams" had the best lines in "Enter the Dragon".

Jim Kelly was the coolest Martial artist of all time. I loved him in Enter the Dragon. Saw Enter the Dragon when it first came out in theatres. Completely knocked me out. Was watching the TV show "Kung Fu" and thought David Carradine was the wickedest fighter of all (I was only twelve) but Bruce Lee and Jim Kelly showed the world what martial arts was all about. I remember the day Bruce died like it was yesterday. Very sad. Today is another sad day as Jim Kelly was announced to have passed. RIP.

RIP Jim! We remember you from 'Enter The Dragon', 'Melinda', 'Black Belt Jones' et al....Thanks for the insight into some of the racism in Hollywood talked about in this video.

Very handsome talented men. Rip Jim,Bruce,John.💔💔💔💔💔❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

'Love Jim Kelly, he was a person who was true and honest about things as they were.

RIP Jim Kelly! You paved the way to the next generation of Black martial artists from all over the world.

to me JIM was the best looking black guy on the BIG screen RIP.JIM

Jim Kelly had so much passion for being an action movie star. the thinking to earn world championship in martial arts so he could transition to acting with all the work he put in is inspiring to anyone.

It's good to see uncle Jim again...uncle means he's older than I am. He's absolutely right he and Bruce were the pioneers for the minorities in this country. God bless uncle Jim.

This is one cool cat, He was so sharp and cool in Enter The Dragon, Was my favorite in that film, I was quite annoyed when he got killed =( I'm happy to see he's keeping it real, Your a true gent Mr Kelly!

I met Jim 2 years ago and had a chance to listen to his seminar, very good guy.

What a humble and peaceful man!!! I remember him in Enter the Dragon and it was great with him in it.

Jim Kelly was a phenomenal athlete, You can still see he is in excellent shape, Great attitude

Thank you for the great post!!! I studied under Jim for 7 years and it was a great experience!

So sad this man is gone! Can't believe this, he was awesome. I wish he had more work.

lol damn! I just realize my friend looks like Jim Kelly in his younger days! And Jim kelly looks great for his age! Dang!

He had such a cool look. Big afro, muscular, toned. Smooth talker.

Jim Kelly. Great motivator. Excellent martial arts skills. Honest man who portrays positive integrity. I miss him...

They both kicking people's asses up there

Rip Jim Kelly, John SAXON, BRUCE LEE LEGENDARY ARTIS😊

RIP Jim Kelly ....

My favorite martial artist, one of my favorite actors! Gone much too soon! R.I.P., until that great resurrection day, 1 Thessalonians 4:16

I appreciate everything that guys like Kelly, Lee, and Saxon did for martial arts movies in America. Sucks seeing how Bruce and others were and are treated here and how much more he should've accomplished, but that's usually the story for those who strive for greatness and try to do so in an honest and respectable manner. I've got nothing but respect for him and people like him.

Great. Interview of a legend. These were heroes in my childhood. Thanks for the video 👍

Jim Kelly A Great American man I will remember you Jim for EVER!!!

RIP Mr. Kelly

Mr. Williams. When i was kid, it really disturbed me when he dies in the Enter Dragon movie. GOD bless You, dear Jim ❤.

its great to see jim kelly speak. what a great intelligent guy. refreshing to hear him.

Man, seeing this makes me giddy to see him still so witty and on top of it all but at the same time it is such a shame looking at this footage knowing what we know now.

Mr Kelly was one of those that as a 70's kid that I truly looked up to...

He was to busy Looking good 👍 in Which he was very much That A Iconic Champ RIP my Brother

Rest now jim kelly we all love you and we all miss you, Honour and Respect

He's in amazing shape! Good to see this, thanks for posting!

It would be an honor to meet this man.

2023...awesome conversation I'll have to watch again because I can't remember what Jim said his first movie was... But I'll never forget Jim Kelly in the movie " 3 The Hard Way ". Even today I think your content viewers would dig that movie with Jim Kelly showcasing his skills.

very down to earth guy, humble a nice guy. well miss you man.

Great Interview.

GOOD MAN!! HE WAS THERE!! DID A GREAT JOB FOR US ALL!!

Love You Jim!!! God Bless and Best Wishes Upon High! I bet You and Bruce had a lot of catching up to do! ✌😎

Thanks God Jim Kelly worked with Bruce Lee , he is a nice person and a good martials artist

Anyone can say something negative. Though this interview could've been conducted better / edited better, I am thankful it even exists. Thank you.

This is nice. Thank you for posting friend. maurice

What a gentleman. One of my favourite characters in “Enter the Dragon” RIP

This is a Good Man, Humble, intelligent and honest!

I've often wondered whatever happened to Jim Kelly. Thank you for posting this!

its cool that you gave my homie Jimmy the love that he deserves...he did some good movies during the Blaxploitation era and now he is using his image positively...hats off to you for giving the respect and to Jim for being a good role model.

I'm sorry that he was not in more movies but blessing that he will b remembered. Didn't see blacks in karate till I saw him.

2024 your'e still great Jim rip man

Jim Kelly is a true gentleman, I wish to meet him one day.

ETD made Jim Kelly, and he was brilliant in it, still the best martial arts movie of all time. Rip Jim and Bruce, and John .

Great person and a real pioneer martial artist
