Member panku Posted May 15, 2015 Member Share Posted May 15, 2015 The Drinking Knight, which, according to the text of the article, was supposed to be a sequel to Come Drink With Me. First attempted in 1969 - 1970 by director Chiu Kang Chien with a cast consisting of Chung Wa, Chiao Chiao, Nam Gung Fan and Wang Hsieh. http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mhtml?id=9213 Then later on in 1970 - 1971 with a new director and cast: Pao Hsueh Li with Yueh Hua, Tina Chin Fei, Wang Ping, Richard Chan Chun, Lo Lieh and Yeung Chi Hing. http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mhtml?id=14184 and Chor Yuen's Sign of the Eagle / Mark of the Eagle (1978 - 1981) with Fu Sheng and Ti Lung: http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mhtml?id=15866 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member teako170 Posted May 16, 2015 Member Share Posted May 16, 2015 Didnt Hwang Jang lee start shooting another film for Shaws aswell that got scrapped? Yes. The "tentative title" was 在黃金鎮的流血事件 (Bloodshed in Gold Town). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member GOLDEN DRAGON YIN-YANG Posted May 16, 2015 Author Member Share Posted May 16, 2015 Wow. too bad. What could have been. GD Y-Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member reason108 Posted May 18, 2015 Member Share Posted May 18, 2015 Well, what is the story with these films? Are the pictures from these unfinished filmed movies or from other films? Sign of the Eagle looks like it really would have been kick-ass! Are there some unreleased hidden gems in the Shaw vaults? What a selling point that would be. Celestial need to get busy and release some unseen/unfinished movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Secret Executioner Posted May 18, 2015 Member Share Posted May 18, 2015 Hwang Jang Lee did movies with Shaw ? Now THAT is some nice news. I think there was another unfinished Fu Sheng film that he was shooting around the time he passed away - or maybe it's a non-Shaw film ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member massa_yoda Posted May 18, 2015 Member Share Posted May 18, 2015 Well, what is the story with these films? I'm also curious about what happened to these films. The Drinking Knight sounded very interesting. I wonder why they couldn't be completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big missed opportunity there if only they had completed the HJL film. HJL backed by a decent director with the Shaw's production values would have been something to see.

Member ShawAngela Posted May 18, 2015 Member Share Posted May 18, 2015 Of course, I saw Pan Ku's post. What I meant is on wich site is it mentioned that these movies were incomplete ? There is no mention of it on hkmdb and I had never heard of these ones as being incomplete. Of course, I don't doubt of what Pan Ku's says, but I'd like to get more informations on this matter...

Many Shaw incomplete films won't show up on a online database such as HKMDb. Only through old Sou Screen and HKMN articles will they be mentioned.

Member ToryK Posted May 20, 2015 Member Share Posted May 20, 2015 God, Hwang Jang Lee in a Venoms movie would have blown my mind. I'm not 100% sure that the styles would've meshed, but I'd give my left nut to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member panku Posted May 21, 2015 Member Share Posted May 21, 2015 The Sword Hand Unfinished film directed by Cheng Chang Ho in 1971 starring Ling Yun and Ivy Ling Po with Wang Hsieh, Chiu Hung and Wong Gam Fung. Also mentioned in the article is the film "The Iron Palm" which Cheng was working on at the same time. Of course the name was changed and came to be known as King Boxer / Five Fingers of Death.

I wouldn't mind seeing the remaining footage with music over it or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member panku Posted November 16, 2015 Member Share Posted November 16, 2015 The Girl of Ghost ValleyDirected by Yip Wing Cho (The Eunuch, Black Tavern) and starring Margaret Hsing, Wang Hsieh and Tin Ching, The Girl of Ghost Valley was to be an epic period action film about the Chinese defending themselves from the invading Mongols in 1267. Unfortunately it does not look like it was finished. There is no record of it showing in a theatre in Hong Kong. There is a copy of the script only in the Hong Kong Film Archive dated April 3, 1971.Yip Wing Cho came to Shaws in the late 60's and worked as part of the crew and later as Assistant Director on 5 of Lo Wei's films. His first film for Shaws was the great The Eunuch (1971) Which came out in May of that year. I believe The Girl of Ghost Valley would have been his second film, but for whatever reason the project was dropped. After that he would direct the amazing Black Tavern (1972) and then leave Shaws to direct films for Golden Harvest, Far East Motion Pictures and Goldig, so based on his 2 completed films for Shaws, I think The Girl of Ghost Valley would have been another great success.I don't know the reason he left Shaws, but it is possible, like many others, he was lured away by Golden Harvest. He is the son of Yip Yat Fong the famous screenwriter for Cathay and Shaws among others and who also wrote the screenplay for Black Tavern. Yip Wing Cho would later become known as a comedic actor in the 80's and 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShawAngela Posted November 16, 2015 Member Share Posted November 16, 2015 Very interesting information...and it's also very frustrating to discover another one which will never be seen nor released !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member panku Posted September 23, 2019 Member Share Posted September 23, 2019 Red Line 7000 Been watching some of the Bond / 60's crime Shaws films lately and I came across this unreleased / unfinished Lo Wei film that I hadn't seen before. The title had been used before in 1965 for a racing film starring James Caan which seems unrelated to the plot of this film although it's hard to tell. As this article states, Paul Chang Chung came back to Shaws at Lo Wei's request to do this film. Speculation on HKMDb is that it might have been unfinished because Lo Wei left for Golden Harvest.
