While I’m satisfied that we have arrived at the answer, I will further say that despite the flippant post title (which was designed to entice participation), the question was posed in all seriousness. Whether or not it was a badly dubbed movie or a classic film is irrelevant. Examination of all possible angles is entirely appropriate.
lieu, I think you stretched that one until it broke!
I’ve never seen the movie, but could Bruce have been focusing on the evil dudes lack of chest hair? I may be perpetuating a stereotype but I believe that is a general caracteristic of Japanese/Asian men.
That’s got to be a band name or a sig line.
You make the call.
Another vote for mishearing. I think Bruce was looking at the guy’s legs and noticed a coffee spill, then said, “So, you’re Java knees.”
It’s the only thing that makes sense. ::eek::
Even though there are some quite hirsute Japanese men, it’s true that most of them are less hairy than most European males. But that’s not the issue, the cook was trying to pass for Chinese, so the hair issue is irrelevent.
I think the answer has been found, as the haramaki undergarment is the only explanation that makes sense.
