Today, please remember James Coburn. He gave us memories of the ultra-cool "Britt" (The Magnificent Seven), or The President's Analyst, or Speed in Charles Bronson's Hard Times or John H. Mallory in Sergio Leone's Duck, You Sucker! (aka A Fistful of Dynamite). You of course remember the James Bond spoofs where he played suave Derek Flint, right?
But for Bruce Lee fans, we know him as a student of Bruce Lee's. With his consent, his training footage of his private lessons with Bruce made its way to the video Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do. He, along with Steve McQueen, was one of the pall bearers for Bruce.
