Guest Markgway Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Released in Hong Kong on 21/1/84 but apparently filmed in 1981. European release dates from 1982 would certainly support this. Does anyone have any good info on where this was released first? Why it was shelved in HK? And what the differences are between edits? (I believe that the Counter Attack edit is almost 10 mins shorter). Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member shukocarl Posted May 9, 2011 Member Share Posted May 9, 2011 There's a crazy sequence where Li fights some 'midget oddjobs' ...god knows what version that comes from though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Lol... what? I saw 'The Chinese Stuntman' and don't remember anything weird like that. Maybe they put that in the Counter Attack re-edit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a Bruce Le movie. =D (but then again, who knows with all these AKA titles) When was Pink Trap made? Because Bruce Li looks more fit in Counter Attack than he does in Pink Trap. One of the best intros ever. lol The dubbing is so rough on that movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Le movie that you mentioned is Ninja Strikes Back - I'm not sure when Pink Trap is made, but I would say 1985. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Le movie that you mentioned is Ninja Strikes Back My apologies carl. Next question: Is this scene on youtube? If not, it needs to be. I seriously didn't think Counter Strike had any room for nonsense you'd usually see in a filipino Bruce Le flick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Markgway Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 That scene must've been added after the fact because it doesn't in with the style of The Chinese Stuntman as I remember it. It's certainly not in the uncut UK DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member 66 Mantis Posted June 22, 2014 Member Share Posted June 22, 2014 Bumping this thread because I need help choosing which dvd to get (if either)... There's this one: http://www.amazon.com/Chinese-Stuntman-Dubbed-In-English/dp/B0017DNK6A/ref=tmm_dvd_title_0 And this one: http://www.amazon.com/Counter-Attack-Danny-Inosanto/dp/B0006SSORM I'm guessing the second version is the one with the goofy inserts? Either way, is one preferable to the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member mpm74 Posted June 22, 2014 Member Share Posted June 22, 2014 I believe both come from the same shitty VHS source. But the one with the black cover (more expensive one) has a commentary track/interview with JohnLadalski (I can't remember if it's interesting or not, but I know it was really bad audio quality). Regardless, it's a great film. One of Bruce Li's best. Not sure if you've seen it, but definitely pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have (or had) it as a 3rd gen. vhs dupe from a tape trade I did back in the late 80s or early 90s (one of ten thousand that I must have done). Doesn't sound like much of an upgrade, but I might pick up the version with the interview/commentary. It's cheap enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole release is skewed towards Jeet Kune Do and Ladaski - poor Bruce Li is made to seem useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you thought of the VideoAsia's version of Bruce Lee: True Story. It features those telephone interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
