Wake up people!  It’s Sunday! I love Sundays! The perfect day to enjoy a hot afternoon in an air-conditioned room with a nice cinematic masterpiece!  I’ll do my best to be consistent with this every week just so you don’t spend your afternoon doing nothing after church (for those that worship the Jesus).

So what I be doing every week?  I be giving you scenes from classic films starring or featuring our fellow yellows to get your tasty eye buds going.  The hope is that you increase your movie watching repertoire by 1 by going to watch these films in it’s entirety on your own.

What’s on tap for today?

BRUCE LEE vs. Chuck Norris
The Way of the Dragon

The given assumption on Bruce Lee is that he could kick anyone’s butt.  But who could give him a run for his money?  WHO can give “the man who kicks butts” a butt kicking?  I love this scene as it’s a fun allegory for what occurs when “East meets West”.   Where can such an epic fight take place between two gladiators representing their two lands??  The Roman Coliseum (Europe being between Asia and USA for you geographically challenged).  Who is allowed to witness such an epic fight?!?!?! Watch the clip to find out!

Everyone knows Bruce Lee.  But who the hell is Chuck Norris?

For you young bucks, your Chuck Norris knowledge only goes as far as “Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door shut!” and other Chuck Norris “facts“.  Slightly older people know him as Walker, Texas Ranger.  The white sheriff who was raised by Native Americans and fought crime using martial arts (not sure how those went hand in hand).  But I know him as the dude who was a main stay of martial arts flicks from the 70~90′s.  I’m not gonna list out all the movies, just hit the links I so diligently laced down for y’all.  Just know that Bruce Lee wasn’t fighting a nobody just cause you don’t know who he is.  It was as epic as watching Hulk Hogan battle the Rock.

But seriously, it ain’t an easy task fighting on screen against Bruce Lee.  He can only make you look so good.  Could have been worse, he could have been fighting this guy:

comment from viewer: “His afro must weigh a ton”

But seriously, what’s up with that cat?!
