Now we just need someone to team this guy up with Robert Kovacs, & we can have the movie we never knew we wanted – Bruce Lee & Charles Bronson taking on the mob.
You need to get working on a screenplay ASAP Paul, and get Alexander Nevsky on board, as the head of the Russian mob.
whats that sound, its the sound of the BL Estate rumbling towards us asking for $$$ before taking to social media to claim its exploiting the family name inbetween adverts for Bruce Lee Tea and Johnnie Walker etc
