1 - In the soon to be released film "Hands of Stone" about boxing legend Roberto Duran, Duran will be played by actor Edgar Ramriz.
Duran's legendary trainer Ray Arcel will be played by Robert De Niro.
What eight time Grammy Award winning singer will play Duran's most famed opponent, Sugar Ray Leonard?

2 - Chuck Norris first appeared on screen, in an uncredited role, in which one of these 1960's films

A. Dean Martin's "The Wrecking Crew"

B. James Coburn's "Our Man Flint"

C. Anthony Quinn's "Requiem for a Heavyweight

3 - How is the UFC and the current TV show, Hawaii 5-0, historically linked?

I'll post answers on Friday.

1. Usher is correct. (Tshadowchaser - what's the controversy over?)

2. The Wrecking Crew is correctamundo! (man, we're old!) And, yeah, pretty historical have Cassius Clay in Requiem)

3. Kamekona Tupuloa, a recurring character on Hawaii 5-0 who runs a shrimp truck, pilots a helicopter and works with the 5-0 team as a confidential informant is played by actor Taylor Tuli Wily.
He fought the very first fight in the history of the UFC, under the name Teila Tuli, competing against Gerard Gordeau.

Usher has a big sex scene in the movie (at this time) and there is more talk about that than his boxing scenes

on another note this has been a long long day for me and I'll post questions tomorrow unless Buka wants to have a go again

Argghhhhh! I used to have a card (like basball cards) with him on it. Wish I still had it, not for the value, but because it's a really cool curio.

I'm trying to remember which guy it was. Maybe the guy who played Oddjob in the Bond movie, maybe another guy I'm thinking off - who's name I can't remember either.

Any hints? Was he a Judo man? Or a jiu-jitsu man? Did he and his bothers wrestle as part of a tag team?

OK I'll be nice and give a couple hints: actually one answer
the Great Togo was Gerald Okamura, a Nisei Japanese
now the other 2 who where called "brothers" one was a a high ranking judoka and the other a Karate person
the Karate person it is said won 270 matches in less than 3 minutes each most by one punch.

OK Buka thats the only hints take a wild guess or if you have a The September 1952 edition of "Ring" magazine there should be a picture of them and a one page article. I'll give the answers tomorrow and a link
opps I seemed to have answered 2 questions 1 and 4

1. Gerald Okamura

2.

3.

4. karate and Judo

Bwahaha! (thanks for those answers!) I'm lost on this one, brother. I can see him in my mind, but I might be confusing him with other old wreslting memories.
I wish I had the old issue of Ring magazine. I used to collect them, but they're all gone now.
