Film "The Last Match" -- different Jim Kelly appeared in it
I deleted the film from the list. It was the former Buffalo Bills quarterback who was in it. https://goodefficientbutchery.blogspot.com/2013/01/cult-classics-revisited-special-super.html Sean Barnett (talk) 00:13, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

B class rating
I think this is a B class article at this point (for biographies and generally) based on the rating guidance: “B: The article is mostly complete and without major problems but requires some further work to reach good article standards.” Everything is specifically referenced except his karate championships other than Long Beach in 1971. (If anyone can find something for that, please do! I've left the martial arts class as "Start" for that reason.)  IMDb is used for his films but only for the facts that he appeared in them and his roles. I think meeting the other B-class criteria is fairly clear. Sean Barnett (talk) 04:43, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
