Member David Rees Posted August 25, 2010 Member Share Posted August 25, 2010 For those who have not seen it and as the dvd is hard to come by, heres the fight between Jackie and Bill Wallace from The Protector. This is the superior Jackie edit. xE6zFteEZo4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member mpm74 Posted August 25, 2010 Member Share Posted August 25, 2010 Just ordered this movie! lol I think in the american version, Bill Wallace says "Come on big boy..." to Jackie Chan. Now, both edits are available on that one Joy Sales disc, right? http://www.hkflix.com/xq/asp/filmID.553029/qx/details.htm It's funny you post this.... all week, I've been thinking about this movie. Even watched DO THE RIGHT THING in celebration of ordering the movie. =D "Turn down that radio!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Markgway Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Seemlessly edited. I've always loved that sweep kick at 5:26 (it's in both versions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member SimonMW Posted August 26, 2010 Member Share Posted August 26, 2010 I recall an interview with Bill Wallace talking about this fight. It was clear that he just didn't 'get' screen fighting at all. He commented that he was annoyed and felt awkward because the choreography allowed Jackie to keep getting through with his "Wing Chun". Kinda odd that considering that there is no Wing Chun in the fight, and for the most part Jackie gets his arse kicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member mpm74 Posted August 26, 2010 Member Share Posted August 26, 2010 Does anyone remember, in the U.S. version, where Wallace says: "Come on, big boy" to Jackie Chan? Bill Wallace used to write articles SLAMMING Jackie Chan. He made it a point to let the world know that he didn't do the motorcycle stunt in PROTECTOR. This was around the the release of RUMBLE IN THE BRONX where he was being tagged "the guy that does his own stunts"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member sifu iron perm Posted August 29, 2010 Member Share Posted August 29, 2010 lol @ Roy Chiao..what film doesn't he show up in? I must have watched a few random films a few months ago and every one of them had a Roy feature. Above the law, game of death, Indiana Jones /temple of doom, dragons forever, bloodsport..Not all in the same day but in a week. The great Roy Chao!! btw, was this Fight in the US version? Ive only seen it once and that was a good 20 yrs ago or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chinatown Kid Posted August 29, 2010 Member Share Posted August 29, 2010 The US and HK version both have the Jackie vs Bill fight but the HK version's fight is longer. The HK cut is definately the superior fight scene. I have the Universe disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Roy Chiao was a great actor. His fluency in English made him an obvious candidiate to appear in such movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Dragon Posted August 29, 2010 Member Share Posted August 29, 2010 That still doesn't make up for such a piece of crap film... But it is a more exciting scene. @ Markgway, and Sifu Iron Perm, you're right... Roy Chiao was a great character actor, with a voice I can only compare to James Earl Jones.

Member David Rees Posted September 6, 2010 Author Member Share Posted September 6, 2010 For those interested i have found out the French release has both cuts of the film including the superior HK edit in anamorphic widescreen so will be superior to the other releases...see it here.....PROTECTOR FRENCH DVD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member mpm74 Posted September 6, 2010 Member Share Posted September 6, 2010 For those who have not seen it and as the dvd is hard to come by, heres the fight between Jackie and Bill Wallace from The Protector. This is the superior Jackie edit. Did Jackie Chan re-film some of this scene? Or was this all filmed during the same schedule and just re-edited by Jackie?

Member thehangman Posted September 6, 2010 Member Share Posted September 6, 2010 Refilmed after the director left he called Bill wallace back as far as i kno to shoot alonger fighter scene for hk audience and added some comedy to the film.

Member mpm74 Posted September 6, 2010 Member Share Posted September 6, 2010 I'm surprised Wallace agreed. That guy has something personal against jackie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
