In the 1970s, Wall appeared in Way of the Dragon and Enter the Dragon, both starring Lee who was the most well-renowned martial artist ever.

The two men had an iconic and very real fight in Enter the Dragon.

Years after the scene was filmed, Wall revealed that Lee had actually broken his ribs.

“Bob, I wanna hit you, and I wanna hit your hard,” Lee had said to Wall before filming again. According to Wall, Lee had wanted the fighting to look as authentic as possible.

“Bob was the greatest husband and father. Family was Everything to him,” said Wall’s family in a statement to TMZ.

“He lived a remarkable like & There is a hole in our hearts that will never be filled. His spirit & legacy will live on forever within us. We was our rock.”
