You're glad you're in it!
Chuck Norris
Oh yeah, of course, I am! Because I enjoyed working with Bruce Lee in the film, it was a lot of fun. The fight scene is considered the classic martial art fight scene of all time. So, it's nice to be involved in a, you know, in a fight scene that everyone... In fact, I got a letter, I've gotten thousands of letters from pen letters from that movie. And I got a letter one time, a guy wrote because there's a scene where I throw Bruce to the ground, and he grabs the hair on my chest and he pulls it out, right? Of course, he doesn't do it for real.

It's amazing! People have seen this movie so many times...unbelievable! I've got letters where people have seen it 18, 19, 20 times... and because of the fight scene. But he says like, he says: "Did Bruce really pull the hair out of your chest?". He said: "if he did, you're really a stud". So, I wrote back and said "No, not for real. He didn't".
But it's really it's interesting to think of how people react to the film.
Interviewer
Yeah. So, what next?
Chuck Norris
Well, I have to be back home on Monday, I've got four movie offers. I just finished another movie that will be coming over in the near future, called The Octagon. That's very good. And I have four offers now, and I've got to decide, you know, what film I want to do this summer.
Interviewer
So, it'll be films and not television or anything.
Chuck Norris
No, I don't want to do television as yet, Graham. Mainly because I work all year round, and there are certain times of the year when I cut my activities down drastically. Because I have two teenage boys who are in high school and they play American Football and Baseball. During that particular time of the year I kind of slow my activities down, so I can go to their games.
Interviewer
Well, thanks very much, Chuck for coming along and, every success in the future!
