I don't think it was Bearcats. That took place in the Mexican Revolution of 1910-1920. This battle was more like a southeast Asian modern (1970) era. There was a white hero and an Asian supporting character or villain, I recall thinking it was "that guy from Star Trek" (G. Takei) but it might have been the actor called Mako instead. The battle was at a ruined temple or some kind of ruins. It was not the John Wayne movie Green Berets.

George Tikai (that guy from Star Trek) was in an episode of
The Twilight Zone
(as were several other Trek actors). He was in one of the war story episodes, also Leonard Nimoy was in a War story Twilight Zone. So if the thing you saw was in Black and White although the T. Zone was early 60s not mid 70s.

I'm pretty sure that Q2 is from "Alfred Hitchcock Presents".

or maybe "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055657
Though I can't remember which episode. -

I'm pretty sure it was one of those weekly mid-70s cop or detective shows that feature a central hero. Like Harry O, Streets of San Francisco or The Blue Knight or Joe Forrester. I'm not sure if it was a detective or a cop show.
Same goes for Q1 but it was definitely a different show than Q2. -

#1 is from
Harry O (1973)
. I vividly remember that scene as it was frequently shown in the promos for the show when it was on CTV in Canada.
Couldn't find the quote on Subzin and no one put it into any of the episode quote sections. And checking out the episode summaries didn't jog my memory. I'm trying to see if there's a clip anywhere on Youtube or somewhere else. -

That sounds right. I lived in Canada then and I clearly recall seeing the commercials. Actually, now that I think of it, maybe that's ALL I saw of this
It became a meme among us kids long before the concept of memes was even recognized or named. All of us in 3rd grade that year were always shouting "I can fly-yi-yi-yi!" when we jumped off the swings or the jungle gym at school. -

I watched the series back then as well as repeats when they were on.
I looked through all the Youtube videos and there's no full length episodes or snips that have that scene. And the guy that fell off the roof could've been any of the young actors I saw in the clips.
At least both seasons are on DVD if you really want to find that episode. I might order it off of Ebay myself one of these days. -

It was actually from the TV movie
Smile Jenny, You're Dead (1974)
that Harry O was based on. Of course they could have reused that bit in the series. And the actor who jumps is Zalman King.
"Harry O is an American crime drama series that aired for two seasons on ABC from 1974 to 1976. Harry O followed the broadcast of two pilot films: Such Dust as Dreams Are Made On (airing March 11, 1973) and then the second (with noticeable retooling), Smile Jenny, You're Dead (airing February 3, 1974), both starring Janssen."

There's a teaser on Youtube (about 3 minutes) that I saw of "Smile Jenny, You're Dead". But, now that you posted the link, I see that it's not listed on the Harry O page (perhaps because it's not part of the seasons 1 or 2 DVDs as the first pilot is). I had a feeling that it was an early episode of either season since it was used in the promo. I do recall seeing the 2nd pilot sometime during the initial run of the series (probably not the original showing of the pilot, though) but I'm not sure when.
Thanks for finding that, TheLauraDernBonusHole.
