"Bruce Lee Gave You Hope" w/Joey Diaz | Joe Rogan

You know what's the shit? Is those 1965's with the suicide doors? Come on son. You know, I'm never that bold. I could not buy one of those cars. You could roll it around in one of those 1965 Lincoln Continentals with the suicide doors. Like holy shit. What did the Green Hornet drive? Did he drive a Continental? See what he drove for Jamie McLean. The Green Hornet! He used to get out and open the door sideways for whatever his name was. The Black Beauty. Chrysler Imperial Crown. Beautiful. Wow. Let me see a picture of that. 1966 Chrysler Imperial Crown. Look at that thing. We're looking at picture one, ladies and gentlemen, that looks like it has machine guns that poke out of the hood. And missiles. Well that was the Black Beauty. Oh my god. That's hilarious. But I always like the way the doors open. Look at that thing. That's the car? What a fucking car. Who made that one? No, that's a Resto mod. Oh is that the new Green Hornet? Oh the new one. That was the new one with Seth Rogen, right? Yeah. I didn't see that one. No, I wanted another one with Bruce Lee's drone. That one. Look at that one. People don't understand. We're a little too young for it, but people don't understand what an impact Bruce Lee had when he was doing the Green Hornet. When people saw him do martial arts moves the way he did on screen, like people wanted to see. I mean you have to think about how many people would watch a TV show back then. Like if you had a TV show, there's only like three different things to watch, right? Like if you had a TV show, you had the entire country watching one of three things. And if you had a big show, the Green Hornet was. The Green Hornet ended on Sunday nights. So it was like stealing. Yeah, everyone told them. You had you either had Lawrence Welk on fucking Channel Seven on ABC. Look at these things. Look at that. You didn't see this. Look at that guy drop. And he just traumatized NBC. NBC was traumatized. Only did six episodes. Look how bad their fucking fight scenes are. These look at these white guys faking punches. Oh, my God. It's hilarious to see like old school, bad TV, like fight acting like when you know the punch didn't hit him and the hair goes flying. It's so weird, especially because we're not playing any of the volume. So we're just watching it. So when you're watching with no volume, you get to really see how preposterous it is. How many how many TV shows that guy do? Bruce, no, that Spanish dude did about a thousand episodes of different TV shows from the late 60s all through the 70s. Who is he? I don't know. He's the guy that was starring right there, right there. Yeah, that guy. That guy was like, you know, character actors were like fucking so huge back then. But Bruce Lee came on Sunday nights. I still remember driving back from Miami with my family and like being pissed because I miss Bruce Lee. Then they canceled it. You didn't see nothing about Bruce Lee again, bro. How long was it between that and the big movies? It was about a year and a half that Kung Fu movies were mainstream. Five Fingers of Death came out. No, the, yeah, Five Fingers of Death. It was all about the iron palm technique. The guy would look at you in his palm and turn pink. And that started with that. And then Fister Fury came out. But I'm not going to lie to you and tell you, I went to see Fister Fury in the movie. I don't remember when Chinese connection came out. That's what changed the ball game. But see, it pisses me off today. You know, when I see fucking people, 20 years old talking about the impact of Bruce Lee or whatever, first off, let's get this straight. Bruce Lee was a tough guy, but he wasn't going to beat Muhammad Ali. That was so silly. He wasn't going to beat Muhammad Ali. He was, you know, whatever Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee meant that the little guy had hope. Bruce Lee gave the immigrant hope. You know, that's what all these guys thought. Well, Bruce Lee fucking, it changed everybody. He put a little bounce in the step. He changed martial arts. He changed martial arts, but he gave you hope. The movie theaters were packed. Martial arts schools were packed. Black people were going crazy because nobody sucked it anymore.
