    You can magically acquire *either* Mr Lee's fighting skillzorz *or* Mr Williams' cool. Which do you pick?

    I already have both... Can I have the island instead?

    I've a feeling opting for cool would get you further in life overall.

    Williams, without a doubt.

    I'd be happy with just his hair and jawline.

    Williams' loss of his cool is what led him to being killed by Mr. Han. Telling the criminal overlord you're too cool for his island and you want to leave makes you a dead man.

    At least Roper plays his hand better. So Roper was cooler than Williams, in the end, and it saves his butt. But not without fighting "skillz". Your cool can't save you from an army of white belt thugs!

    Mr. Lee makes it off the island alive with the girl, a beautiful secret agent named Mei Ling :D

    For me Roper (John Saxon) is neato keen. But yeah Williams is the #1 choice I think.

    Lee of course is awesome!

    Bob Wall is pretty great also really. It's a move full of awesome. Bolo Yeung is in it too!

    Do you think Roper is a better fighter than Williams? :D

    I think Roper can take a worse beating.

    Roper fights off an entire army, Williams is killed by an old one-handed man :D

    Granted, the old man was a kung fu master, but still. Even Lee only walked away with some scratches.

    The worst fighter in the movie I think is the guy from New Zealand. It really sucks.

    I guess Roper's fighting skills is almost like Bruce Lee's because he could beat a strong man like Bolo

    Man you come straight out of a comic book!

    Williams cool couldn't keep him alive but lee's fighting skills did. Lee was cooler than Williams anyway.

    Bolo was a terrible martial artist according to some Chinese stylists. He relied so much on his muscles! He clearly had little to no "Internal" skills, hence his failures. :D

    O'Hara must have been a pretty hard case, to have become Han's field agent. Sadly, his treachery was a disgrace. Another case of your lack of cool getting in the way of your "skillzorz"

    I know what I'm watching on DVD this weekend. :D

    Blasphemy! Bolo wrapped Roper up in a pretzel, then he and Bruce had an epic showdown which effectively killed the genre because nothing else could top it...

    ... a man can dream, eh? :cry:

    hahaha

    Did Roper in real life know any martial art before the Enter the Dragon film was made?

    I seem to recall he was a karate black belt. Don't quote me on that though.
