I never got into admirable tv characters cuz it's easy to be brave and say your lines when you know your contract is still good

but

Kato, Bruce Lee, when I saw him on Batman in the 60's. I thought his moves were faked until the fight scene with Robin. just floored me

You mean this?



I was more impressed by his ability to break huge things.

six inch punch


power of his side kick


plays ping pong with nunchuks
