Editorial Review:
55 MINUTES Perhaps no man in the history of the martial arts has been as fortunate as Bob Wall. He has trained with the best Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, Joe Lewis, and Gene LaBelle. He has taught some of Hollywoods most influencial celebrities from Steve Mc Queen and Elvis Presley to many many more. He was part of Chuck Norris’s famous West Coast Team Of Champions and he has become one of the most successful men ever in martial arts.
On this DVD/VHS he tells you all from his lessons on life from Chuck Norris and Muhammid Ali, Elvis Presley, and Bruce Lee to his experiences with Jean Claude van Damme and Steven Seagal.
But perhaps his biggest claim to fame was his role in Enter The Dragon where he played the evil Ohara. You will see behind the scenes footage, never before seen by the public, watch Bruce and Bob practise the famous spin kick sequence plus loads more that you will just not believe.
He talks about the only five subjects Elvis was interested in. How he met Steve McQueen and how good was elvis really.
A totally fabulous DVD/VHS that you will watch over and over again just to see the rare footage of his early fights in the 1960’s and from the making of Enter The Dragon.
Life and Legend of Bob Wall-d Reviews:
A waste of money 
2005-01-10 - I was really looking forward to this DVD and the hope of seeing some great footage. It is the worst DVD I own. Be warned unless you are related to Bob Wall and totally love him you will be wasting money buying this DVD. It is full of Bob Wall talking about himself and how great he is and that is basically it.
Bob Wall: A Legend In His Own Mind 
2004-03-14 - The best thing about this dvd is the old black & white footage of Chuck Norris, Joe Lewis, Benny Urquidez & other prominent karate champs of the 60s & 70s in tournament competitions, but there's not enough here to justify the price ( there is no "behind the scenes" footage of Bruce Lee anywhere here, by the way, only a few still photos ). As for the "star", Mr. Wall, listen to the title song once (I think it's repeated at least 3 times throughout the main program) & see if you don't agree this guy's a legend in his own mind. Most of the dvd consists of him & his buddies talking about what a great guy he is & his apparently invaluable contributions to martial arts in America.
I would recommend this only for diehard Bob Wall fans, but I can't actually imagine there being any. What's his claim to fame other than spending some time with such genuinely famous & influential people as Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, & Elvis Presley? If you're still curious enough to buy this, don't say you weren't warned.

THIS ...IS ...GREAT!!!! 
2004-01-09 - I've watched this three times so far and it's still just as good as ever. Entertaining, educational, great for any karate buff, this movie is simply amazing.
