Member CastleOfDeath Posted June 6, 2023 Member Share Posted June 6, 2023 I was watching on YouTube the greenhouse fight from TOD/GOD, here taken from a VHS. https://youtu.be/knbOT-9LWfE I just noticed it completely fits with the uncut 1972 GOD dialogues, here they are comparing their fighting styles. That scene makes no sense in the original GOD, but that is where it appeared first. Further strenghtening to me that TOD was maybe started using the leftover footage from a first try at GOD more in the spirit of the original film. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What didn't make sense about it in the 1978 version? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member CastleOfDeath Posted June 6, 2023 Member Share Posted June 6, 2023 Why is he fighting this guy? This doesn't have anything to do with the story. If he is triad, then why are they philosophing about martial arts combats techniques? I'm not sure it makes sense (thought I love the inclusion of it in the HK cut). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Weintraub had no idea that there was an attempt to film a Chinese language version, and Clouse never mentioned it in his book. Perhaps this allowed for a technicality. Wasn't Clouse completely deaf? It could be that this was done right in front of him and he'd have been none the wiser. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard he was mostly deaf but not completely- he is wearing hearing aids or hearing aid in the singular, in the ETD behind the scenes footage if I remember correctly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member CastleOfDeath Posted June 15, 2023 Member Share Posted June 15, 2023 Here's another very old video, that IMHO hints that before Clouse GOD 78 version, they tried first to complete GOD and that after Clouse discarded their try, they recycled it as TOD. https://youtu.be/yQvntXQE65k 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was told to stick around to see the manager. And more thing: U.S. version of TOWER OF DEATH (GOD 2) is the more enjoyable cut for all the wrong/obvious reasons lol Still, TOWER OF DEATH KOREAN is essential viewing. Better than the Swedish cut of OPPENHEIMER. You, two..... stick around for a while. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
