The 10 Best Token Black Guys in Movie History


09. ENTER THE DRAGON – Williams (Jim Kelly)


Williams was the coolest cat to ever pick his fro on Mr. Han’s island. A smart ass with the fellas and smooth as silk with the ladies…Williams also uttered one of my favorite lines in this film (“Man, you come right out of a comic book”). Sadly Williams swag was not ready for the martial arts mastery of old man Han and his interchangeable hands of death.

  1. There have been token Black Guys Since the History of Movies..But some of these guys are not just tokens.,They only hang around White’s off the set. I’m saying you don’t see alot of them at any Black function.like the soul Train awards or any affair given by Black Ent…

  2. Well a couple of them you don’t see period because their careers have dried up, they have retired, or they are dead.

  3. I disagree with the following with explanation: Al from Die Hard. Really?! He is not the token black guy when there are other black guys that played in that movie(remember the computer guy for Han’s team, or the driver for McClane or Little Johnson(FBI)? So no on Al, who was a great guy in that movie. One consideration, Tyreese’s part in those bad Transoformer movies, Billy Dee in Tim Burton’s Batman(DA Dent). Actually anything Billy Dee was in w/o Diana Ross or James Earl Jones.
