Member masterofoneinchpunch Posted January 23, 2017 Member Share Posted January 23, 2017 It is also available on both versions of Blue Underground's DVD release Circle of Iron. It is kind of interesting comparing it to the finished product :). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Fist of the Heavenly Sky Posted October 6, 2017 Member Share Posted October 6, 2017 For those who are curious to check out the script, I'm attaching a PDF file of it with this post. Lemme know if there are any issues with downloading it and I'll fix it ASP!

Member Phantom Dreamer Posted July 8, 2018 Member Share Posted July 8, 2018 It's as if time stood still and maybe there are interested parties keen on reviving this treatment. It has to be done right though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance 😉 It's a good decade since I read one of the original scripts and saw the movie, so dont quote me on this. Apart from the watering down of the philopsihical content/themes, the script goes from being a X-Rated film, with strong violence and sex. To a much milder PG-13 style movie from the late 60's. Though I'm not sure the MPAA would have passed all the stuff in the script, and its hard to say how BL and James Coburn would have used. If the pair had gone onto to do this in the 60's.

Member DragonClaws Posted September 29, 2018 Member Share Posted September 29, 2018 Quoting you here @NoKUNGFUforYU so not to derial the other thread. I'd go with C. Quote After reading some of the descriptions of the original ideas for Silent Flute, Bruce was either A. A bigger stoner then we thought B. Ahead of his time for sex and violence, Asian style or C. Both. There's a lot of What If's, surrounding this project, and just what would have been scrapped or changed for a film version by BL, is anyone's guess. I think the levels of sex,violence, and drug use, vary from script to script, depending on which drafts you read?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member shukocarl Posted September 29, 2018 Member Share Posted September 29, 2018 Why the title change to CIRCLE OF IRON? It's meaningless in regards to the film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might not be as meaningless as it first seem's?. Quote Circle. The circle is a universal symbol with extensive meaning. It represents the notions of totality, wholeness, original perfection, the Self, the infinite, eternity, timelessness, all cyclic movement, God ('God is a circle whose centre is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere' (Hermes Trismegistus)). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circle of Iron I think would have been a geat title, even for a non BL movie. Maybe BL and Sterling Silliphant had a few different titles knocking around for it?.

Member DragonClaws Posted March 26, 2020 Member Share Posted March 26, 2020 Quote And so it is with martial arts. To the Westerner the finger jabs, the side kicks, the back fist, etc., are tools of destruction and violence which is, indeed, one of their functions. But the Oriental believes that the primary function of such tools is revealed when they are self-directed and destroy greed, fear, anger and folly.
