		Jim Kelly was a natural candidate seeing as how he was in Enter The Dragon (he did for the fls what Bruce did for the Chinese) and unlike Ron Van Clief, Jim had a solid fan base, charm, good-looks, charisma and decent acting ability (or at least more of a personality).
		Jim was a natural born athelete so it seems - he was a talented American football player and professional tennis player (he turned professional in 1975 rising to No. 2 in California in the senior men's doubles rankings and reaching the state's top ten in senior men's singles, among other titles).
		Jim was definately a top-notch martial artist who was almost in the same league as Lee even if they don't usually or hardly ever share the same space in history books.

		After teaching martial arts for several years and acting in some low-budget films, he finally broke through in 1988 with "Bloodsport." The film, about a fight-to-the-death martial-arts tournament, allowed Van Damme to show off his fighting prowess and made him an instant success.

		Kelly, a fellow Kentuckian who, unlike me, sported a perfectly spherical afro I consider one of the very best of the 1970s, plays Jones, a secret agent who has gone into semi-retirement, concentrating instead on teaching the martial arts to inner city youths.
		But here, Hendry gets to kick ass in a major way, even in her panties (to be fair, Jim Kelly is in his little boxer shorts as well).
		Have you ever noticed that during the late '70s, it seemed like the Mafia was spending a lot of time trying to shut down martial arts schools or community centers that had martial artists involved with them in some way.

	AVrev.com HD DVD Review of "Enter The Dragon"
		Lee (Lee), an adept martial artist at the Shaolin temple is given a mission by British agents: enter an exclusive martial arts tournament on a remote island run by the nefarious Han (Kien), and while there infiltrate his compound and find evidence of his heroin operation.
		Whether this is due to cuts made to the film in editing (which seems likely) or the script itself is unknown, but the result is that Kelly and Saxon become the leads by the middle of the film, with Lee falling into a support function until the climax.
		Kelly was a karate champion who went on to star in several hit “blaxploitation” films, but at this stage he was largely unknown.

	Enter the Dragon
		An extraordinary martial artist, Lee occupied the screen with an intensity that no other martial artist could contend with.
		Various fighters from around the world show up for the contest, including Americans Roper (John Saxon) and Williams (Jim Kelly, Black Belt Jones himself), who are out simply to prove themselves, and to indulge in Han's hospitality: free women and food.
		The world of the martial arts movie owes a great deal of debt to Bruce Lee, an innovator and fiery performer, who loved his art with passion.

		It also reunites Kelly with Enter the Dragon director Robert Clouse, but the film that results from this reunion isn't as compelling or consistent as their prior hit.
		Jim Kelly is a skilled martial artist and Scatman Crothers infuses his all-too-brief role with some raffish charm.
		However, the best performer in the cast is Gloria Hendry: She adds a much-needed element of drama to the film and handles her action scenes with an impressive mixture of grace and ferocity.
