40 Years ago today, this legend died at a way too young!

c. 1970s: A classic hand-painted billboard of actor and martial arts expert, Bruce Lee.

This particular billboard was painted in ‪#‎Lahore‬ and was used to advertise Lee’s 1973 blockbuster ‘Enter the Dragon.’ Just like in the West, Lee had become an icon and hugely popular with action film enthusiasts in Pakistan as well. His films did roaring business in cinemas and popularised the martial arts in Pakistan. Lee died a sudden death in 1973.
