Member Shaolin Patriot Posted February 21, 2014 Member Share Posted February 21, 2014 I was doing an online search and stumbled upon a BEN McDONALD starring in Chinese Boxer, opposite Jimmy Wang Yu. I don't recall his name anywhere in the credits and can't picture any non-Asians in the film (presuming that Ben McDonald is non-Asian). Has anyone heard of him and know what role he had in Chinese Boxer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it is a different movie (non Shaw) with the same name? http://www.hkcinemagic.com/en/movie.asp?id=583&showmovfullcast=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an odd one; I noticed it when doing a Wikipedia search on Chen Kuan Tai!! Wikipedia mentions, "His [CKT] first appearance in a Shaw work was in the 1969 film The Chinese Boxer, alongside Jimmy Wang Yu and Ben McDonald." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chen_Kuan-tai It might just be an incorrect reference (even for Wikipedia). I don't remember CKT in Chinese Boxer either & the film was actually produced in 1970. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe it was King Boxer. Or maybe I'm just flat wrong, but I do seem to remember seeing their faces in one of these movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This BenMcDonald thing sounds like a Wiki prank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a Ben McDonald who grew up in Hong Kong and is an actor, but I think he'd be too young to be in this movie. Also, there are a few Ben's on Hong Kong Cinemagic, but the last names don't fit.

Member Eastern Evil Posted February 22, 2014 Member Share Posted February 22, 2014 Sabotage is my 1st or 2nd favorite Sabbath L.P., depending on the day. 'Am I going Insane (Radio)' is a great song, I don't care what anyone says about it. That was a great time for Black Sabbath, one of my favorite bands, if not THE favorite!

Member Eastern Evil Posted February 22, 2014 Member Share Posted February 22, 2014 You sir have some fine music taste. (may I inquire as to what your other favorite Sabbath album is ?) Well, thank you Like I said, it goes back & forth, but it would have to be Sabbath Bloody Sabbath & Sabbotage. After that - Volume 4,Paranoid, 1st l.P., master of Reality (You could swith this & 1st L.P.) After that...Mob Rules...Heaven & Hell...Dehumanizer....Born Again....13 (I guess...still don't really have an opinion yet, although it has some good stuff. oh - Live Evil....as far as the rest - "okay, whatever" Good to see another Sabbath fan - and a good movie genre lover to boot! :Cheers!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Secret Executioner Posted February 22, 2014 Member Share Posted February 22, 2014 I thought pretty much nobody would get that one, but it's nice to see another Sabbath fan indeed. Personally, I rank the Black Sabbath albums: Born Again Master Of Reality Paranoid The Mob Rules Sabotage Black Sabbath Heaven And Hell Never Say Die Seventh Star Technical Ecstasy The Eternal Idol Vol. 4 Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Dehumanizer Headless Cross and the other 3 or 4 studio albums from the 1990s are IMO very forgettable. And I don't have 13 so can't really tell. On a sidenote, I wanna add that it feels strange that everyone seems to love Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Dehumanizer when I can't seem to get into these albums (the artwork for SBS is one of my fav' Sabbath album covers though) - sorry for the off-topic BTW.
