- American Wall got his big break filming ‘Way of the Dragon’ in Hong Kong, and shared an iconic fight scene with Lee in ‘Enter The Dragon’
- Wall recalled in 2003 interview being challenged to fights ‘everywhere I went in Hong Kong’ after starring role as Chuck Norris’ student
American martial arts master Robert Wall, who starred with the legendary Bruce Lee in Way of the Dragon, Enter The Dragon and Game of Death, has died at the age of 82.
Wall was a 9th degree Tang Soo Do black belt under Chuck Norris, whom he trained with and also starred alongside in iconic US television series Walker, Texas Ranger.
“Bob was the greatest husband and father,” read a statement provided by Wall’s family to TMZ Sports.
“Family was everything to him. He lived a remarkable life and there is a hole in our hearts that will never be filled. His spirit and legacy will live on forever within us. He was our rock.”
Wall and Lee shared an iconic fight scene in Enter The Dragon (1973) – during which, Wall revealed years later, Lee had actually hit him so hard he broke his ribs.
But the California-born Wall got his big break when art imitated life and Lee cast him as the student of Norris’ antagonist character Colt in Way of the Dragon (1972).
