Robert appeared in 1972’s ‘Way Of The Dragon and the next year’s ‘Enter the Dragon.’ Arguably, this is one of the most popular fighting movies ever created and made Bruce Lee a household name.
Shockingly, Wall made huge headlines after admitting years later that Bruce Lee actually broke his ribsduring the filming of ‘Enter The Dragon.’ The story is incredible. Wall claimed after being friends for over 8 years, Lee asked if they could go full speed to make sure the movie scene looked as real as possible. Of course, it did. But, Wall ended up with a set of broken ribs. Totally worth it! If you ask us…
Robert’s family issued a statement on the death, saying, “Bob was the greatest husband and father. Family was everything to him. He lived a remarkable life & there is a hole in our hearts that will never be filled. His spirit & legacy will live on forever within us. He was our rock.”
Robert is survived by his wife Lillian for 48 years, and his two daughters – Shana and Kara.
