Remembering Bruce Lee

Enter the Chuck
In 1972, Lee invited Chuck Norris, then the reigning world karate champion, to fight opposite him as the centerpiece of his film Return of the Dragon. When Norris asked who the victor of the match would be, the answer was obvious to Lee. In a commentary for WorldNetDaily, Norris recalled asking Lee, "Oh you're going to beat up on the current world karate champion?" Replied Lee: "No, I'm going to kill the current world karate champion."
