In just over 30 seconds of screen time, Lee: kicks a hole in Marlowe’s wall, backhands a coat rack and the coat on it, karate chops his bookshelf in two, scissor kicks a lamp clean off the ceiling and then punches through a window before striking a martial arts pose that causes a painting to leap off the wall in fright, all while Marlowe is still sitting there pointing a gun at him. While Lee is only on screen for a few minutes, he makes the most of it by demonstrating his considerable martial arts prowess by punching literally every piece of furniture in the eponymous Marlowe’s office to intimidate him into taking a bribe. Marlowe is a 1969 noir movie notable mostly for being one of the first American films to feature Bruce Lee in a starring role as Winslow Wong, a hyper competent mob enforcer rocking the sharpest turtle neck and suit combo this side of a pre-2011 Apple conference.
