Bruce Li was 5’6” 140

I don't know who Bruce Li is, but Bruce Lee pretended to fight other ~5'6" ~140 lb men ( other than Abdul-Jabbar)and Lee trained in martial arts, he looked the part of a fighter... you cast Jack Macfarland or Ru Paul as the lead in Enter The Dragon, I ain't watching that either.

It's really not much different than the man side. There's a really long list of action hero movies played by a man old enough for social security which is really awesome to watch. Watching an unarmed Liam Neeson at 71 years old take on a trained army is not legendary but its great comedy.

I avoid those too, unless it's Denzel.

I avoid those too, unless it's Denzel.

Denzel is nearly 70 years old.

but i will watch the I Am Legened sequal if it ever gets made..

Wouldn't that have to be a prequel?

I will. There's only so many times a person can apologize and show remorse for something. He's done that. Chris Rock isn't obligated to accept it, but that his decision.

Emancipation should have won an Oscar.

Will Smith should be forever grateful that Chris Rock didnt press charges after Will, on his wife's inferred insistence likely, made a complete, absolute fool of himself by slapping an Oscars presenter live on-stage in front of millions of viewers worldwide. Rock was pushed and asked extensively by security, and LAPD officers backstage multiple times if he wanted to press assault charges against Smith.

Rock doesn't owe him anything, nor should he because he didnt really do anything then make some quasi-borderline, tacky jokes. Comedians doing stand-up in bars and clubs, and on L.A.'s once-glamorous, shell-of-its-former self Sunset Strip, and all over Hollywood say more hurtful, mean-spirited, nastier jokes or satirize celebrities worse then anything Rock could or would ever say and most get rounds of applause and cheers.

It's up to Rock whether he'll ever truly forgive him or if he has already. I think Chris Rock probably sees Smith's actions with more sadness that he behaved so irrationally, immaturely, and idiotically.

30 years of hard work, perseverance, great, outstanding TV and series acting work from Fresh Prince to Six Degrees of Seperation to Bad Boys, to Independence Day, Men in Black films, I Robot, I am Legend, Suicide Squad, even. So many noted, memorable roles that made Smith one of the most recognizable, iconic actors, celebrities just influencers from the early 90's to late 2010's until one, hugely embarassing incident blows it all up like a Santa Anna insane wildfire scorching hundreds of acres in southern California.

That would have been something if Rock had called for security, and Smith ended up being arrested and absent when his name was called for the Oscar later that night.

It very easily couldve happened and several LAPD officers backstage asked Rock and his agent if they wanted to press charges of assault and battery. Maybe Rock didnt want this already carnival-circus atmosphere to get any worse or more chaotic if one of Hollywood's celebrities of the past 30 years to be handcuffed in public view, with the cameras rolling with millions watching at their homes, dragged off to a police car with his lawyers and agents in hot pursuit, screaming this is a disgrace and an injustice similar to Agent Orange's post-court tirades, lawyers echo-chamber similar-type rhetoric because the law didnt go their way.

And Rock's job was Oscars presenter so he had to keep the peace, so allowing Smith to have to endure the backlash, Hollywood semi-blacklist he receives for his asinine behavior seemed like the correct, logical choice at the time (and it was). I do know that if someone like Smith had walked on-stage and slapped a comedian/satirist like George Carlin, Richard Pryor, or Eddie Murphy in the 1980's in Carlin/Murphy's prime, their would've been one of the nastiest, vicious, fist-fights and expletives-laden fireworks displays ever viewed on any comedy stage. Its like with any member of a rival rock band "invading" the stage or running on-stage during another band's set, its "invading their turf"
