I've honestly never seen him in any movie other than Enter the Dragon. But it was so iconic it makes the potential for searching out his other work high on the priority list.

Rest in Peace, Jim Kelly.
I remember Black Belt Jones , and also hearing about Three the Hard Way but I never did see that one.
And a 70s magazine article about him called "A Trophy Can't Put Gas In My Car." There was no money in tournament Karate.
His role in Enter the Dragon sticks in your mind. It was memorable.
I can remember his lines right off the top of my head:
"Man, you come right out of a comic book."
"Bull$#!t, Mr. Han-man!"
"Been practicin', huh?"
"For me?" (*smiles.)
"A human fly."
"I won't waste my time with it. When it comes, I won't even notice. I'll be too busy lookin' good."

What could be better than watching, Mr Kelly at this moment in Enter The Dragon.
RIP Mr Kelly.
