Member Son Of A Gun Posted July 16, 2011 Member Share Posted July 16, 2011 That would make more sense, Mark, thats the same opening as on the Rank VHS. But the reason I thought the other opening was the original export is because that one was made back in 1972 I believe. They didn't release the other version with the newer dub in Europe untill late '73, early '74 did they? I was just going by a time line. So the Danish VHS opening is probably the original USA region opening? But then again, it would have been titled "Fists of Fury" wouldn't it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 The red on black logo on the Danish print belongs to a much later reissue (unless they tagged it on?) Also the font on some of the credits (see 1:06 on link) is incorrect (correct on the Rank print). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member tangshandaxiong Posted July 16, 2011 Member Share Posted July 16, 2011 I personally believe this is the original opening http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJklba_qNH8 the GH cornfield logo should`ve been played before that and possibly all words written in mandarin, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Son Of A Gun Posted July 16, 2011 Member Share Posted July 16, 2011 You know we were discussing the original 'export' opening right? Not the original, original. So it shouldn't have and possibly all words written in mandarin, too. My custom dvd is gonna have the corn fields opening. I wanted that on it from day one. Gives a warm fuzzy feeling in my tummy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I see, nothing said Yeah I think the cornfield one is awesome and gives the opening a more "early" feeling. Bruce`s logo of his production Co. "Concord" imho is epic, too.

Member luckystars Posted July 16, 2011 Member Share Posted July 16, 2011 Today, a friend of mine found the old trailer from THE BIG BOSS - the one that contains the original, rejected English dub - on an old Danish trailer tape from the mid 1980s. I'm fully aware there's another version of this already on YouTube but just the mere fact that he found another release of this is awesome PLUS the picture quality of this one is better imo. I have no idea why he chose to use the old US title but this is THE BIG BOSS: http://youtu.be/cFhxfpwpJ5I And obviously now I'm wondering if this version was released on VHS in Denmark. o_O That version of the trailer is great! Classic, and very sleazy! Never heard anything of this missing(?) original dub. It sounds fantastic, far better than the usual crap.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jack J Posted July 16, 2011 Member Share Posted July 16, 2011 I have it on DVD transferred Eh, that's cool. I kinda asked cos I wanted to watch it in case it were on YouTube. LOL. But thanks all the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Son Of A Gun Posted July 17, 2011 Member Share Posted July 17, 2011 Tangshan' , this is the same as the Rank VHS version, but with russian subs or whatever language that is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member tangshandaxiong Posted July 17, 2011 Member Share Posted July 17, 2011 Ah interesting find thank you for the link, yeah the letters look like russian to me. Don`t get why it`s zoomed though but incredible that each country seems to have a seperate version of the intro By mistake I was reffering to this one in the first place http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPFsBxZqgSA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Son Of A Gun Posted July 18, 2011 Member Share Posted July 18, 2011 Zoomed in? It's just pan & scan isn't it? Like most videos were back in the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member OldPangYau Posted July 18, 2011 Member Share Posted July 18, 2011 Nasos has a bad habit of zooming in on his videos The opening credits are stretched vertically to fit in a 4x3 frame, but then he took the video and zoomed it a bit. Once again, no idea why his videos turn out that way on YouTube. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member makone Posted July 22, 2011 Member Share Posted July 22, 2011 did anyone get the dvd of this and is it just a upscaled version from mkv or avi ? i was lucky enough to get a copy via a trade (which i am eternaly grateful sdog2006) which looks upscaled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Son Of A Gun Posted July 22, 2011 Member Share Posted July 22, 2011 The proper dvd was a proper 35mm to Beta tape to dvd transfer. More detail in the image compared to commercial dvd prints, but obviously in far worse condition. Your dvd should have menus and a full Brandon Lee interview on it. If not, then you probably do have an up scaled .avi I have added this english dub to my future 'Boss custom dvd. But I think owning the 35mm transfer is worth it as well. Even if it has got big chunks missing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DragonClaws Posted December 17, 2019 Member Share Posted December 17, 2019 Here's another thread that's more suited to the Bruce Lee forum?. I think a lot of content got mixed up, when the two separate big forums were merged together in 2016?. I just noticed these two BL threads, while searching the forums. I was trying to locate @ThunderScore Ark Pictures Poster thread, but came up emtpy handed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Omni Dragon Posted May 25, 2020 Member Share Posted May 25, 2020 @DragonClaws Regarding that question I don't think I know anymore than you. Maybe one day a company like Eureka or 88 Films would think to include it. I assume the up and coming Criterion release is too far along. I assume it's a possibility one day but I personally find it hard to imagine it happening any time soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
