You shouldn't do stuff like that without a spotter.
Yeah, no kidding. I can remember how many times I've almost died from good ol meat and potatoes wanking...

Anyway, tragic.

Bill killed.

Last I heard, his arms were tied behind his back...

That means someone else was there. :?

I may have to hit myself for this, but who was this guy?

Still sad that he died. Has anyone actually confirmed what killed him yet?
No trees were killed in transmission of this message. However, some electrons were mildly inconvenienced.

He was best known for starring in the 70s TV series Kung Fu and playing Bill in the Kill Bill movies.

Did they have a fight over it? I would have loved to have been in that audition room.

No, it was Bruce's concept; the studio just didn't want an Asian as the main character in a big-budget tv show... :bangwall:

Actually that's not nearly as certain as you might think. The only person who has ever said Bruce Lee had anything to do with the series is his widow; nobody on the show itself backs her up on her assertions.

Just saw on a news scroll bar that some tabloid in the UK has printed pictures of him in his death pose.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Yeah, not shocked they'd do it. Given that the picture is probably a crime scene photo the number of people who took it would be small. They could probably find out who sold the photo.
