Member Tantheman Posted March 29, 2008 Member Share Posted March 29, 2008 Another one to look out for is Tornado of Pearl River, a pretty early effort. The opening fight is superb, but unfortunately as the film progresses the action quality goes down. Still Tan puts in a good martial and acting performance, and its worth a watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member thedirtytiger Posted April 8, 2008 Member Share Posted April 8, 2008 Someone said Heroes Of The Waterfront DVD was readily available. I have been looking for many years for this one, who released the DVD ? Are we talking proper legit release or dem dodgy boots ? If it is legit then I want it !!!!

Member shaftershaf Posted April 26, 2010 Member Share Posted April 26, 2010 I have today stumbled across in my 8mm projector collection a clip of a 1970's Tan Tao Liang film. It features amazing and spectacular kicking action and choreography !! This is the best kicking action I have ever seen...even compares well to new Donnie Yen films !! Problem is that I can't remember the name of the film and it is not listed under his filmography. It features him fighting alongside another high kicker and wearing a sleeveless white suit. His hair is short. At one point the elderly moustached guy he fights brings knives out from his elbows. I must find out the name of the film at all costs and track it down. Could be the rarest martial arts film footage in existence as it is not even on youtube Help please !! Will try and upload tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlbertV Posted July 13, 2021 Member Share Posted July 13, 2021 Here is the photo of Michael Worth and Tan Tao Liang aka Delon Tan. From Top Fighter, I think this was his son Michael that he is helping out here. Michael would end up in a few films in the late naughts, definitely has some mad kicks like his dad. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShawAngela Posted July 13, 2021 Member Share Posted July 13, 2021 This Michael Worth on the picture, didn't he play in a TV series such as Acapulco Heat or another one ? Bus face is familiar. And Tan Tao Liang's son, Michael, it's another Michael, right ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bus face is familiar. Yes, he was on Acapulco HEAT and was a staple of 1990s American martial arts B-movies. He almost won the role of Robin in Batman Forever only to lose it to Chris O'Donnell but would get stunt work on the film as a member of the Neon Gang Robin takes on. Here's the HKMDB page on Michael Tan Ye An https://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=34293&display_set=eng I saw some work in Dragon Treasure where he played the villain. He looks like his dad and showcased some impressive kicks 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Chu Liu Hsiang Posted July 2, 2022 Member Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) The article mentions the big local success of THE HERO OF CHIU CHOW aka THE HERO OF THE WATERFRONT, making 1 Mio HK$ within the first 4 days. Has this been released? Article also mentions the movie THE RIOT OF PEARL DELTA, I guess this became TORNADO OF CHU CHIANG aka TORNADO OF PEARL RIVER. I only found info on an Ocean Shores video cd and fareastflix bootleg. Are there further releases? There is another thread for TTL in the Classical MA Cinema Thread.

I got a German VHS around a year ago on ebay, and almost right after that, I found that this movie is also on a two in one dvd, also German release. Here is the link to the ebay page of the movie, It looks like there are only two VHS for sale and no more dvd... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought that kid was his son or nephew, he had a look of him. It's a shame he didn't become a big star like his dad, he certainly had some skills, even at that age. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully he liked it. If Bruce Lee could be called Three Legs Lee then Tan could be called Infinite Left Legs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things he said, is Tan Tao Liang dispelled the myth about Jim Kelly getting heat on the set of The Tatto Connection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
