Bruce Lee gave voice to Black Americans
In one scene from the 1973 film "Enter the Dragon," Williams, played by African American actor Jim Kelly, is walking down the street when a police car suddenly pulls up behind him.
Two white cops get out and start harassing Williams for no particular reason. They search him and find a ticket to Hong Kong via Hawaii.
"You're not going to Hawaii!" one cop sneers.
Without a word, Williams, a martial arts expert, proceeds to methodically beat up the cops, even throwing one through a wooden fence. He then steals the police car and drives away.
The scene had no relevance to the overall plot but probably enthralled African Americans who have experienced decades of police brutality. Finally, a black man gave the cops what they deserved.
