Jim Kelly

    ← The WW9 Vault

    1946–2013 / United States

    Jim Kelly put melanin at the center of the fight, on his own terms.

    Shirtless, afro high, bell-bottoms and platform shoes, fists raised: that is Jim Kelly on the left of our Black Belt Jones piece. A middleweight karate champion before he was a star, he stole scenes in Enter the Dragon (1973) and took the lead in Black Belt Jones (1974). He fought on screen the way he lived: on his own terms.
