Yeah apparently Michael Worth was holding out for a Bruce Le interview, he said so in the most recent Clones Cast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @sifu iron perm for the update. There has been an update on the campaign page as well. After numerous false starts and empty promises, let's hope this is the end to a long ordeal. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what that has to do with the poster book? That affected his documentary but a Bruce Le interview wouldn't be relevant to this crowdfund book. He also mentioned in the podcast that the rising costs really threw him for a loop, I think that's the real reason for the delay as he was debating whether to continue with this project or not as he would have to bear some of the costs out of pocket. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Shaolin Dragon Posted June 9, 2023 Member Share Posted June 9, 2023 New Bruceploitation movie and actor found! Some of you might already know this but for me this was something unknown and fun to stumble across. The actors name is Thomas Lee and he was active in Bollywood in the 80s. The movie he plays Bruce Lee in is called Morchha from 1980. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet he never realised he was drawing future superstar Jackie Chan there! 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Drunken Monk Posted June 27, 2023 Member Share Posted June 27, 2023 I think I have a very stupid question, but I need you guys' input... Do you pronounce "Bruce Li" like "Bruce Lee" or do you pronounce "Li" like "eye?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DrNgor Posted June 27, 2023 Member Share Posted June 27, 2023 I would personally pronounce Ly, Le and Li as "Lee". Lei would be pronounced "Lay." Lai would be pronounced "Lye". Ly and Le are common surnames in Vietnamese, and although the accepted Western pronunciation of both is "Lee", "Ly" is technically pronounced "Lee" and "Le" is closer to "Leh". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always pronounced "Li" as "Lee" too and "Le" as "Leh." But I've heard such a mix recently. "Li" pronounced like "Eye" just doesn't sit well with me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osbournecox Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 i'm not sure if there is a general rule for that. i've watched trailers for bruce li movies where it was pronounced like "eye". in trailers for jet li movies i only came across the "lee"-pronounciation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mainland Pinyin system of Romanizing Mandarin has "Li" pronounced as "Lee". I think Taiwan uses (or used) a different Romanization system. But 1970s trailers were probably narrated by people who either couldn't be bothered to research the pronunciation, or were instructed to say it like "Lye" to avoid audience confusion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShawAngela Posted June 27, 2023 Member Share Posted June 27, 2023 In an interview, Ho Chung Tao himself pronounced his name as Bruce Li as in "eye", when he referred to this name he didn't want to be christianed with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morchha (Brand New Single Disc Dvd, Hindi Language, With English Subtitles, Released By KMI Music Bank) https://a.co/d/iQeJk36 I'm pretty sure I heard about this flick from the late Todd Stadtman (RIP). That actor Thomas lee was probably a local talent from the NE India, Nagaland. Reminds me of the Afghan Bruce Lee, Abbas Alizada who is Hazara where they look Central Asian. Yes, Todd was right about him being from Naga. Edited June 27, 2023 by Yihetuan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Shaolin Dragon Posted June 27, 2023 Member Share Posted June 27, 2023 @ShawAngela While searching for something else I stumbled across some pictures of this vinyl record that looked interesting. I saw that it featured a song called “let’s dance for the great guy Bruce Lee” and that it was supposed to be a movie soundtrack. This of course got me curious I found the film on YouTube and a nice thing is that the son of Thomas Lee have actually left a comment. https://youtu.be/7b5FLvRHch4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Bruce Li or Le or Lei, here's an article posted today at SCMP about the whole Bruceploitation phenomenon & David Gregory's documentary about the subject. https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3225501/bruce-le-bruce-li-bruce-lei-bruceploitation-martial-arts-actors-tracked-down-documentary-about-how?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=share_widget&utm_campaign=3225501&fbclid=IwAR3hGGHP-gfJsDbWEHQddVwCaAZFDtD0cPfK8Xa6oxmg01Wq52hFjnI0vHA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone would've grabbed a quick pic or MW himself would've shown off a copy on social media right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
