Kelly stepped away from the movie business in the 1980sKelly became famed for his cool one-liners and fight scenes as the charismatic Williams in the 1973 martial arts classic.
His other films included Black Belt Jones, Three the Hard Way, Golden Needles and the Black Samurai.
Marilyn Dishman, Kelly's ex-wife, said he died on Saturday of cancer at his home in California.
