Member Phantom Dreamer Posted November 2, 2018 Member Share Posted November 2, 2018 Raymond Chow 1927-2018 https://variety.com/2018/film/asia/raymond-chow-dead-dies-hong-kong-film-1203018267/ Raymond Chow the co-founder of Hong Kong’s Golden Harvest that launched the careers of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, died on Friday. He was 91. Chow was an instrumental figure in building the golden era of the Hong Kong film industry, working under Run Run Shaw at Shaw Brothers Studio and co-foundingGolden Harvest in 1970. He was also among the first to bring Hong Kong films to global attention through international partnerships and distribution. Born in Hong Kong in 1927, Chow studied journalism at St. John’s University in Shanghai and began working as a reporter at the Hong Kong Tiger Standard upon returning to the city in 1949. He had a brief stint with Voice of America before leaving journalism for filmmaking when he was recruited by Shaw Brothers Studio in 1958, joining the company as the publicity chief and later became head of the production department. He then left Shaw Brothers Studio, citing creative differences, and co-founded Golden Harvest with Leonard Ho Koon-Cheung in 1970. He reinvented industry practice by partnering with independent studios, contradicting the studio system at Shaw Brothers. Chow’s Golden Harvest was best known for discovering Lee, making him an international kung fu star and cultural icon who is still influential today. Their first film, “The Big Boss” (1971), made Lee an instant legend, setting new box office records at the time. It was then followed by “Fist of Fury” (1972) and “The Way of the Dragon” (1972). The subsequent “Enter the Dragon” (1973) was a co-production with Warner Bros., the first co-production between Hong Kong and Hollywood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Phantom Dreamer Posted November 18, 2018 Member Share Posted November 18, 2018 Men of Modest Height: Bruce Lee https://www.themodestman.com/men-of-modest-height-bruce-lee/ Everyone knows who Bruce Lee is – martial arts master, fight choreographer, film director, teacher and game-changing actor. Most people, however, probably don't know that he was just 5'8″ tall. This is because the first thing you always notice about Bruce Lee is his amazing physique. The man was in perfect shape. He trained rigorously and treated his body as a temple. He founded and popularized the hybrid martial arts system of Jeet Kune Do. His approach to martial arts was one of a philosopher. He often referred to his fighting system as “style without style” and “the art of fighting without fighting”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Phantom Dreamer Posted November 28, 2018 Member Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) What really happened to Bruce Lee? https://www.discoverydcode.com/dcode/articles/bruce-lee-death/amp/ What Actually Happened? On 10 May 1973 Bruce collapsed while recording the dubbing for Enter the Dragon in Hong Kong. He suffered seizures and headaches and was taken to hospital where he was diagnosed with a cerebral oedema. This incident proved to be the foreshadowing of his death on 20 July 1973. In the afternoon of that fateful day he went with friend and movie producer Raymond Chow to the home of Betty Ting Pei, where they went over the script for Lee’s next feature film Game of Death. Chow left for a dinner appointment and when Bruce complained of a headache Betty gave him the painkiller Equagesic, a mix of aspirin and the tranquiliser meprobamate. Bruce then went for a nap and did not wake-up for dinner. Neither Betty, Raymond nor the doctor they summoned could resuscitate Bruce. When he was finally taken to hospital he was declared dead on arrival at just 32 years old. Further Speculation Conspiracy theories aside, in the years since his passing there have been other, more scientific arguments put forward. Dr James Filkins of the Cook County medical examiner’s office in Chicago believes Bruce may have died of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), a condition which was only recognised in the 1990s. Considering the seizures Lee suffered it seems like a plausible theory. SUDEP can be caused by overwork and stress, both of which Bruce was dealing with in the build-up to the release of Enter the Dragon. He was well-known for his tireless work ethic, losing 15% of his body weight in the last two months of his life, weighing just 54kg when he died. Dr Filkins also notes that allergic reactions to drugs usually involve an anaphylactic reaction with an accompanying swelling in the neck, something that was absent in Bruce’s autopsy. A biography of Bruce Lee released this year claims a different cause of death. Entitled Bruce Lee: A Life, the film is based on the book by writer Matthew Polly who claims Bruce was a victim of heatstroke. Polly also cites the symptoms of his first collapse in May as proof of this. True enough, seizures, convulsions, sweating, high temperature and vomiting are all symptoms of heatstroke and match those Bruce experienced in that first episode. He had also had the sweat glands in his armpits removed – he thought sweaty armpits would look unsightly on screen – making his body more prone to overheating. Ultimately though, neither these nor the multitude of other theories, conspiracy or otherwise, carry much weight. In fact, rather than speculating on how he died, maybe we could better serve his memory by appreciating the great works of film he left of us, as well as his philosophy on life and martial arts.

Member Phantom Dreamer Posted December 15, 2018 Member Share Posted December 15, 2018 Watch an exclusive trailer for 'The Warrior" More than four decades ago, Hollywood told Bruce Lee it couldn’t be done. In 2019, the late actor’s vision of an Asian American hero is heading to television in the form of “Warrior,” a new Cinemax series set in 1878 San Francisco boasting a largely Asian cast, telling a uniquely American story and executive produced by “Fast and Furious” helmer Justin Lin. ADVERTISEMENT It’s a project that’s spent nearly 50 years in development, describes Shannon Lee, who now shepherds her father’s legacy at the helm of Bruce Lee Entertainment and serves as executive producer on the series based on Lee’s writings. Watch an exclusive teaser for “Warrior” above. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-et-mn-warrior-bruce-lee-cinemax-sneak-peek-2018-story.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
