Remembering Bruce Lee: And Jon Benn's Other Adventures

Even four decades after the passing of Asian martial-arts superstar Bruce Lee (1940-73), his achievements still attract adoration from millions of movie fans. The biggest fan of all may be Jon Benn, who befriended the high-kicking hero while playing "the Big Boss", a villain in Lee's acclaimed 1972 movie, The Way of the Dragon. In Remembering Bruce Lee, a tell-tale autobiography, Jon reminisces fondly about his experiences with Lee and a lifetime of other adventures. From facing Lee's fists of fury to riding in a cowboy posse, from almost starting the Third World War to a nude scene with sex symbol Bo Derek, much has happened to Jon for the sake of appearing in movies. From exploring ancient Mexican temples and falling into a volcano to eavesdropping on Communists in Cold War Europe, from doing business with the former Philippines dictator Ferdinand Marcos to beautiful girls-in-hot-pants waving Passports to Pleasure, one heck of a lot has happened to Jon away from the movie cameras too.
