Member GOLDEN DRAGON YIN-YANG Posted March 30, 2010 Member Share Posted March 30, 2010 In Boston in 1983 I saw: Descendant of the Sun. Of course Derik Yee is in this one. I watched it again last night for the first time since then. This movie is at the end of Shaw Brothers magnificent rein. 2.5 is all I can muster up for this movie. Although you can see Shaw Brothers anticipating the up and coming film industry's revolution in technology in special effects. I did not much care for this movie for reasons I won't explain. In Derik Yee's short time at Shaw Brothers what were his greatest films in your opinions. I am sure I have seen most of his films. And BTW he is know doubt top notch in ALL respects in my book.. Derik Yee is a Shaw Brother's legend. GD Y-Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member KyFi Posted March 30, 2010 Member Share Posted March 30, 2010 I don't know that I have that many of his movies, but the one that stands out for me as a favorite is Death Duel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Silver Fox Posted March 31, 2010 Member Share Posted March 31, 2010 Shaolin Intruders and Bat Without Wings. Both are killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted March 31, 2010 Member Share Posted March 31, 2010 Shaolin Prince is my favorite performance from Yee. He shows some really good sword skills there. Also the guy who English dubs him is hilarious. “Have you gone crazy in the head or something?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member vengeanceofhumanlanterns Posted March 31, 2010 Member Share Posted March 31, 2010 Definitely Shaolin Intruders, but there are a few more like, Legend Of The Bat. I never appreciated Derek Yee as a lead. He does add to films as a supporting actor, imo. I can't remember Death Duel, but I thought he did well there, also there is another film where he is Ku Feng's right hand villian, Return Of The Sentimental Swordsman???

Moderator Karlos Posted March 31, 2010 Moderator Share Posted March 31, 2010 Hands down for me, it's Death Duel. Not only do I think it's Yee's best, I also think it's amongst the very best of the Shaw's swordplay films. Descendent of the Sun I hated - wasn't it written as a sort of kung fu knock off of Superman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member David Rees Posted March 31, 2010 Member Share Posted March 31, 2010 Supreme Swordsman is ok, nothing special. Shaolin Intruders is the best i have seen...Never been a Derek Yee fan myself....

Guest maskedavenger Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Derik Yee is a Shaw Brother's legend. He's a legend and yet you can't even spell his name right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member sbfan2008 Posted April 2, 2010 Member Share Posted April 2, 2010 He's a legend and yet you can't even spell his name right? I sure hope that is a typo. Anyway..back to the subject. IMO, Derek's best work is in "Heroes Shed no Tears" when he played the role of a villain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
