Even four decades after the passing of Asian martial-arts superstar Bruce Lee, his achievements still attract adoration from millions of movie fans. The biggest fan of all may be Jon Benn, who befriended the high-kicking hero while playing "the Big Boss", a villain in Lee's acclaimed 1972 movie "The Way of the Dragon". In this tell-tale autobiography, Jon reminisces fondly about his experiences with Lee and a lifetime of other adventures. From facing Lee's fists of fury to riding in a cowboy posse, from almost starting the Third World War to a nude scene with sex symbol Bo Derek, much has happened to Jon for the sake of appearing in movies. But that's not all. From exploring ancient Mexican temples and falling into a volcano to eavesdropping on communists in Cold War Europe, from doing business with former Philippines dictator Ferdinand Marcos to girls-in-hot-pants waving Passports to Pleasure, one heck of a lot has happened to Jon away from the cameras too.
For decades, American-born businessman Jon Benn has made a fascinating hobby out of participating in the Asian and Hollywood movie industries. He forged a friendship with martial-arts superstar Bruce Lee and worked with many other big-screen personalities. Despite all the insider stories that Jon tells about the movie world, those remarkable experiences mark merely the beginning of his adventures. Now eight decades old, Jon shares his autobiography with the world. Hang on for a tumultuous ride.
Names arent so much dropped in a conversation with Jon Benn as emptied by the sack-load and he has an interesting anecdote attached to each of them. Global Times
