Member Yihetuan Posted October 14, 2020 Member Share Posted October 14, 2020 I finally had some time to listen to the latest Clones Cast with MW discussing Bruce Strikes Back but unfortunately, he makes no mention of any updates to the indiegogo poster book but did talk about his upcoming Bruceploitation documentary from Severin. He also mentions that Leg Fighters from VCI is due to go OOP, so anyone interested in picking that up might want to do so. Also talks about the next release in the series might not be Duel of the 7 Tigers after all but another title which might be a special 2 disc version and Duel will come after that one. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That book was a project that I was looking forward to getting my hands on. Fingers crossed that we hear something soon from MW about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member saltysam Posted October 15, 2020 Member Share Posted October 15, 2020 Just think he should be letting those of us who've paid for this already up to speed with where we are at with it. He must have all our email addresses. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Yihetuan Posted October 17, 2020 Member Share Posted October 17, 2020 Good news! MW just updated the indiegogo page about an hour ago. The book is still a go but no delivery date as of yet. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member saltysam Posted October 17, 2020 Member Share Posted October 17, 2020 A bit more reassuring but i think we still have a good while to wait before the book materialises 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Coliseum1972 Posted October 24, 2020 Member Share Posted October 24, 2020 Maybe Le is like Mie Hama , she says being in Bond was in a different lifetime or something.....no idea if she refuses interviews though. You dont see Bach or Bouquet in Bond interviews either. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Super Ninja Posted November 19, 2020 Member Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) The western members of the cast were all highly trained martial artists themselves: Phil Cohen was a student of Bruce Lee in the US, Roy Horan qualified in Shorinji Kempo, Alan Ellerton expert in White Crane, Xingyi and Tai Chi, Greg Talovic a Taekwondo instructor. Can anyone confirm this? From Bruce Lee's Secret IMDB review... Also, I've read that Roy Horan studied Taekwondo and Eagle claw under Hwang Jang-Lee, I thought Hwang learned Eagle Claw in Hong Kong for the movie purposes?

Member DT-Nice1988 Posted December 25, 2020 Member Share Posted December 25, 2020 Read this: http://www.hkcinemagic.com/en/page.asp?aid=197&page=1 Horan never mentioned that he was Whang Jang Lee's student. Lee himself said he learned Martial Arts quickly on the film sets. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Shaolin Dragon Posted December 29, 2020 Member Share Posted December 29, 2020 All I know is that it is a VHS cover. I also figured out that the Chinese characters says that the director is supposed to be Kent Cheng (or someone with a the same characters in the name). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Shaolin Dragon Posted December 29, 2020 Member Share Posted December 29, 2020 @ShawAngela the title is something like this 猛龍伏霸 I have used this and searched HKMDB but didn't find anything. The lead actor seams to be someone named 李傑克 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first word should mean something like ferocious ; the second one is the word for dragon or emperor ; I didn't find a translation for the third word and the last one should mean something like "to stop", if I didn't mistook the Chinese character with another. I couldn't find anything while trying with the pinyin... And the Chinese actor's name lead me either to a businessman, either to Jack Lemmon...!! That's frustrating !! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also did some more research and didn’t find much except for the two first characters being the same as in 猛龍過江 Way of the Dragon. So my feeling this is some kind of Bruceploitation is still strong 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Shaolin Dragon Posted December 30, 2020 Member Share Posted December 30, 2020 @ShawAngela Mystery solved! Definitely Bruceploitation @DragonClaws was on the right track already from the beginning! It's a Chinese release of They Call Him Bruce Lee. So the actor behind the Chinese name 李傑克 is Jack Lee. All this makes me think that this production might have had some Hong Kong or Taiwan connection. The producers name also sounds Chinese. What are your thoughts? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Shaolin Dragon Posted January 1, 2021 Member Share Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) I have done some research about They Call Him Bruce Lee now. According to information I found this movie was also released in Korea and there it was presented as a Philippine-Hong Kong co-production. So @Super Ninja was right This probably explains the existence of a Chinese version of the movie released on VHS (didn’t find any hints of it being released theatrically in any Chinese speaking region). When it comes to the actors at least 李傑克 Jack Lee is supposed to be Chinese. The few sources that don’t take their info from the messed up IMDB page states that he was an actor from Hong Kong. (He is even mentioned as being some kind of relative to Bruce Lee ) This might explain why he is the only actor named on the Chinese VHS cover. Another thing that I found out was that the production company Kinavesa (Silver Star Film Company) was owned by the Philippine based Chinese businessman K.Y. Lim who had worked with Hong Kong movie productions filmed in the Philippines beginning with Tiger Force (1973). After starting producing his own films he maintained these Hong Kong connections. So my conclusion is that They Call Me Bruce Lee was indeed some kind of Philippine-Hong Kong co-production although the cast lacks any well known Hong Kong actor.
