The Brooklyn tough guy also starred in ‘The Appaloosa,’ ‘The Unguarded Moment’ and ‘Black Christmas.’
John Saxon, the rugged actor who kicked around with Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon and appeared in three Nightmare on Elm Street movies for director Wes Craven, died Saturday. He was 83.
Saxon died of pneumonia in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, his wife, Gloria, told The Hollywood Reporter.
An Italian-American from Brooklyn, Saxon played characters of various ethnicities during his long career.
His portrayal of a brutal Mexican bandit opposite Marlon Brando in The Appaloosa (1966) earned him a Golden Globe, and he had a recurring role on ABC’s Dynasty as Rashid Ahmed, a powerful Middle East tycoon who romanced Alexis Colby (Joan Collins). And on another 1980s primetime soap, CBS’ Falcon Crest, he played the father of Lorenzo Lamas’ character.
Years earlier, Saxon starred from 1969-72 as the surgeon Theodore Stuart on "The New Doctors" rotating segment of the NBC drama series The Bold Ones.
Discovered by the same agent who launched the careers of Rock Hudson and Tab Hunter, Saxon first gained notice for his performance as a disturbed high school football star who taunts Esther Williams in The Unguarded Moment (1956). In the film’s credits, he’s billed as "the exciting new personality John Saxon."
He played a police chief who makes a fatal mistake in the Canadian cult classic Black Christmas (1974), featuring Margot Kidder and Keir Dullea, and his horror résumé also includes two films for Roger Corman: Queen of Blood (1966) and Battle Beyond the Stars (1980), playing a tyrannical warlord.
In Warner Bros.’ Enter the Dragon (1973), Lee’s first mainstream American movie and last before his death at age 32, Saxon portrayed Roper, a degenerate gambler who participates in a martial arts tournament. In real life, his fighting skills did not approach those possessed by Lee and another co-star, karate champion Jim Kelly.

リーと戦うよう仕向けられるのかと思ったけど
そういう展開にはならなかったな
見た目はセクシーで華があったが、アクションつか動きに華がまったくなかったよね。
ヤンスエとリーの戦いを見たかったよな。
あの筋肉鎧をリーがどう捌くかを見たかった。
ローパーにあそこ蹴られて、呆気なく死んじゃったんだっけ
みぞおち な
撮影はしていたが採用されなかったんだよな
テープも残っていたが他のテープと共に廃棄
アナカプリのテープに小さく写ってるんだっけ
3では母ちゃん自殺してからアル中になってフレディにやられたな…
ブルースを単独主役にして
サクソンを準主役扱いにしておけば
後々まで空気主役、偽主役と揶揄されずに済んだものを
RIP
なんとなく覚えてた「宇宙の7人」の独裁者役
無名のアジア人のブルース・リーだけでは映画がヒットしないからとこの人をダブル主演にししたらブルース・リーしか注目されなかった
