Henn-na Hotel in Sasebo, Japan, will open to the public on Friday. Henn-na Hotel translates to English as “Strange Hotel,” which is apt because it is staffed with robots! The management insists that the robots are there for maximum efficiency and to cut labor costs, but we know publicity from the novel idea won’t hurt business a bit.
Upon check-in, guests will be greeted by multi-lingual humanoid and dinosaur receptionists. Other robots in the lobby greet visitors, serve coffee and act as concierge. Robots bring the guests' luggage to their rooms, which, by the way, are opened by face-recognition technology.
See quite a few pictures of the hotel and its many diverse robots at Mashable.

bruce lee's yellow jumpsuit from this movie has been referanced in films like kill bill and shaolin soccer. of course, you could probably go on all day noting things that have referances to this movie or bruce lee.
kareem abdul-jabbar is badass in this film. so friggin' huge next to bruce lee.
I don't know if this was an error on the writer's part, or whether Bruce Lee really said it. If the latter, he was most likely borrowing (knowingly or unknowingly) from Ben Franklin, who was famous for this quotation (albeit expressed in language that's two and a half centuries old)
At http://www.bartleby.com/100/245.html
a page listing some entries from the famous Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, you can read:
"Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.
Maxims prefixed to Poor Richard’s Almanac, 1757."
Sometime movie directors make secret deals with their stars and other movie studio to simply fake their death. The movie director will never work again but he's already filty rich so he dont really care.
Take a special note of the film personnel who worked for one studio before the sudden death of an actor or actress and who they work for after.
Hollywood is the jungle of Capitalism.
Anyways this is a nice remembrance of a truly great icon and entertainer, RIP Bruce.
