James Garner is truly one of a kind. Always playful and with a deft sense of humor among the action and romance. I had the pleasure of writing him a Western film script near the later part of his career, in Hollywood, and he was a joy to behold. Honest and genuine, with a unique way of including you in his life.. Hollywood could take a lesson..
@Charles, Indeed, that was a wonderful film.. The script I wrote for Garner picks up the story 20yrs later, where his sheriff comes out of retirement and cleans up the town one last time. The reluctant outlaw was to be played by Pernell Roberts, a former Shakespearean actor.. All best wishes..
Bruce Lee taught martial arts to a lot of Hollywood actors, including James Garner, after his stint on Batman. It's a story in itself, worth looking up.
@@Viglin123 Sorry, you are correct. But I always remember of his three appearances on Batman, and the discussions we had as kids as to who would win a fight- Kato or Robin. There was no question amongst my friends that Bruce(Kato) would have kicked his ass. Not even a slight consideration that he could lose. We all hoped there would be a Kato television show. Kato was by far the best fighter in that world, and the coolest dude too.
He was also Roman Polanski’s personal martial arts instructor. Polanski even suspected him as Tate’s killer when he discovered a pair of horn rim glasses similar to Lee’s laying around the crime scene (they weren’t Lee’s)
@@peterbarlow8912 I picked up on your implication. You weren't referring to this as a Rockford Files episode. "[I] never saw this [movie], but [I've] probably seen every episode of the Rockford Files at least twice!"
@@ericmarin6454 Well, the Chinese had a stereotype of effeminate men, before popularizing the fighter stereotype with Bruce Lee, so he's probably just using a stereotype from that time. Yep, offensive
Philip Marlowe is a character portrayed in many movies. Notably by Bogart in the Big Sleep in the 40s but also in the 60s, here by Garner and in the early 70s by Elliott Gould in The Long Goodbye. I've gotten part way through a few others but these are the only ones I've watched. There are a bunch more too.
I remember hearing those on the radio when I was in my 20's or earlier, when radio was actually fun to listen to, they would have an 'oldies'' show every weekend night, and I remember the name Marlowe..
I never cried while watching movies as a kid. But when I as about 11 or 12 years old, I cried my eyes out, and my mother wasn't able to console me for hours. Not only did they make him a villan, they killed him in the most ridiculous way possible. I was devistated.
@stagebandman I was saying in the 1960s-80s, gay was supposed to be the tolerant & family-friendly word, so they were trying to be politically correct in the movie, for the time.
I was a Junior in High School, when this came out in 1969...I remember seeing it and thinking...DAMN...He just kicked a ceiling light OFF of the ceiling! Now THAT'S some pretty impressive shit, even for Kato!...Just sayin'!
@@Maluhia808 Lee was two generations ahead of Hollyweird. The ground breaking series Kung Fu was created and scheduled for TV filming when Lee was told a Caucasian actor was going to play the lead instead. The series screamed Bruce Lee in content and action. Unknowingly, we all were left with C class druggie actor who eventually died from hanging himself in a sex asphyxiation gone wrong as the prostitute smartly disappeared. The second dynamite project was able to air with Asian ancestry actors after many of the racists finally died off. This project was Warrior and again screams Bruce Lee. Despite the heavy TH-cam exploitation channels of little to no value, Lee's creativity and values are still with us to ponder What If ? ?
In the pilot of the Rockford files he told his dad to get him a roll of quarters. When William Smith did his karate stuff he had wet the floor and he slipped and he knocked him out with the roll of nickels his dad gave him complaining because the nickels were too small and caused him to hurt his hand. James Garner was smooth in every role he ever played.
When they stepped out on the balcony, It all came back to me. I was just a kid when I saw it on TV. I do remember this scene bothering me but I didn't realize that was Bruce Lee at that time.
In a way, this was actually all part of Bruce Lee's philosophy. You can be the flashiest, most skillful dude there is, but most of the time... it's simplicity and smarts that win battles.
There was this thing long ago that no longer exists called racism which kept him off the hit series, Kung Fu. He faced a lot of it in Hollywood and considering he had a family he kinda had to do what he had to do. So yes I suppose he needed the income.
@averycolnite3561 - Bruce had a small handful of appearances in American movies and TV series between The GREEN HORNET and his Hong Kong Film THE BIG BOSS(Fists of Fury). He was a series regular in LONGSTREET, guest-starred in an episode of IRONSIDE, appeared in an episode of HERE COME THE BRIDES.
Hugh Jackman worked as a children's party circus clown and once broke an egg on his head because the child wasn't laughing. Every actor starts somewhere. Getting a part with a star like James Garner would have been good for his career. An Bruce was like water.. he had no ego when he needed to.
The Marlowe movie featured an interesting unique unknown performer who astonished the audience. The clever but unrealistic ending didn't dim the outstanding performance.
Bruce Lee was scheduled to star in the Saturday Night prime time series "Kung Fu." At the last minute the producers decided America was not ready for a Chinese American into their homes every Saturday Night at 8:00. David Carridine, who came from a Hollywood family, quickly replaced Bruce Lee as the Shoalin monk Kwai Chang Caine.
This is a first for me. Since I have never seen the movie MARLOWE 1969, It is hard to fathom the thought of Bruce Lee ever playing a villain. I even felt the same way with Danny Trejo playing a good guy and Steven Seagal the villain in MACHETE 2010. BTW, Danny Trejo is a real down to Earth cool guy when I met him at the checkpoint at MIA.
The cork board falling off the wall was always the best part for me. But Bruce did a great role in this. So out of character for him, but no one could have done it better. The fear in Garner's eyes was great!
I was wondering why I've never seen this clip of Bruce Lee the way we regularly see his appearance on Longstreet or the Green Hornet but by the end I understood - it's ridiculous! 😂
Wow, thanks for posting this, I've never seen it. One of the only real gripes against Lee was his acting chops weren't always up to (Hollywood) snuff. He could be a bit wooden at times, though he did show some real talent for it by the time he made Enter the Dragon. Being it was the biggest budget and best script of all his films probably didn't hurt any. I got to say I'm not seeing subpar acting here. Sharing the screen with a legit acting talent like James Garner definitely helped but, Lee is obviously in good form as the bad guy. Its a shame, maybe if he lived long enough we could have gotten to see him in a couple of roles as the anti-hero. Just from the few minutes here I'm getting some vibes he'd be a really great villian. Imagine Lee playing a Bond henchman, he would've killed it!
As a young kid, I always thought it was funny how Chuck Norris, Black Belt Jones etc would be untouchable stars in their own movies, then die in Bruce Lee movies. Didn't really understand how that worked back in the day. HBO once ran a week-long karate/kung fu marathon and we watched all of them. I always cheered for Bruce!
I recall an interview with Chuck Norris, and Lee asked him to be in one of his movies. Norris said okay - but I have to win the fight! Lee replied - no - it's MY movie. Norris gets some good licks in but ends up losing. (Dying perhaps??)
I can't help wondering if they kept the "Are you just a little gay, Winslow?" line secret from Bruce Lee, and shot that part with only James Garner on set and on screen. 😄🥋
Oh...didn't see that coming. I'd seen the clip of him kicking out a chandelier. Maybe Bruce did that more than once. It's one of the great shames of cinema and TV, of Martial Arts, and of humanity in general, that Bruce Lee didn't live longer. I think his creative output would have been staggering had he lived into his old age.
I have over 600 martial arts movies in my DVD collection including the entire Shaw Brothers franchise this movie however isn't a part of my collection, I've seen Marlowe several times but it just don't make my collection.
Help. How tall are you and how much do you weigh? Help. Are you even fit enough to move your body other than to the toilet and the refrigerator? Are you a movie star or will ever be known in this world and have a legacy like Bruce Lee still has to this day? Help. Help. Help. Help. Help. Help.

BRUCE IS NOT THE GREATEST FIGHTER TO EVER LIVE BC WEVE NEVER SEEN HIM FIGHT. BUT HE IS ONE OF THR GREATEST MARTIAL ARTISTS TO EVER LIVE. SIZE DOESNT MEAN A LOT AS ROYCE GRACIE DISPLAYED IN THE FIRST FEW UFC EVENTS.
Watch out for that last step Bruce. It's a doozy. LOL Seriously though, I never thought I'd see him lose a fight. As soon as they got on the ledge, I knew what was going to happen.
@fantabuloussnuffaluffagus Of course it was scripted. Is James Garner a martial artist? Does he know how to fight? Is he good with the gun? Can you even call this a confrontation? Now if you are talking about Bruce Lee being "only an actor" with no fighting record who "happens" to be good at moving his body in a combative way skillfully and gracefully like all the other comfortable arm chair warrior geniuses then guess what you are right! But you are totally dismissing something else of far more importance. I believe and I may be totally wrong and for that I apologize that Bruce Lee never wanted to enter a competition in the 1960's in his 20's because Bruce Lee was already very familiar with street violence. Street violence had no rules and still has no rules to this day. If it wasn't for the many encounters he had in Hong Kong and upon arriving in America Bruce Lee would not be able to impart realism into the martial arts leading to the birth of JKD and the establishing of UFC. How do you explain that every single known fighter with real life tournament record attribute their success and mindset to this "petty actor" called Bruce Lee? It's quite ironic isn't it? Bruce Lee trained and hones his body for hours just so that people like you could sit back comfortably and call him an actor because it makes you feel better. What you should do instead is learn from him by listening to him, absord what you like, read his books if you are interested and most above all get your ass moving to a better health. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2025 :D

I remember that his autopsy report showed his height of 5’ 6” and weight of 126 pounds. He was a diminutive man.
Ignore the Troll and his Bots
4:33 How it feels to Chew Five G... Oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii....
1:51 “I like a man that uses good grammar. Whom (sic) sent you?” 😣
News flash: Bruce is OK. He only suffered a headache after the fall. A little equagesic can make the pain go away.
Damn. Now I need to watch this whole movie because I apparently love badguy Bruce Lee.
Mind and wits over brawn and muscle. Like Lex Luthor versus Superman with the lead casket containing the kryptonite necklace in the 1978 film.
Just remember. Nothing beats cool.
Holy smokes! Bruce Lee lost a fight!
Thats called reality.
Watch out for that last step Bruce. It's a doozy. LOL Seriously though, I never thought I'd see him lose a fight. As soon as they got on the ledge, I knew what was going to happen.
He sure won that scripted "confrontation" against Bruce Lee. Is the comment section for real on this one? :P
Face it, every confrontation you've ever seen Bruce Lee in was scripted. No different from this one in any way.
@fantabuloussnuffaluffagus Of course it was scripted. Is James Garner a martial artist? Does he know how to fight? Is he good with the gun? Can you even call this a confrontation? Now if you are talking about Bruce Lee being "only an actor" with no fighting record who "happens" to be good at moving his body in a combative way skillfully and gracefully like all the other comfortable arm chair warrior geniuses then guess what you are right! But you are totally dismissing something else of far more importance. I believe and I may be totally wrong and for that I apologize that Bruce Lee never wanted to enter a competition in the 1960's in his 20's because Bruce Lee was already very familiar with street violence. Street violence had no rules and still has no rules to this day. If it wasn't for the many encounters he had in Hong Kong and upon arriving in America Bruce Lee would not be able to impart realism into the martial arts leading to the birth of JKD and the establishing of UFC. How do you explain that every single known fighter with real life tournament record attribute their success and mindset to this "petty actor" called Bruce Lee? It's quite ironic isn't it? Bruce Lee trained and hones his body for hours just so that people like you could sit back comfortably and call him an actor because it makes you feel better. What you should do instead is learn from him by listening to him, absord what you like, read his books if you are interested and most above all get your ass moving to a better health. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2025 :D
@@theoneandonly3499 Wow, that's quite a rant!
@@fantabuloussnuffaluffagus It's okay.
@@theoneandonly3499 I'm glad you're OK, I was think maybe you were having an apoplexy.
