Member DragonClaws Posted February 4, 2018 Member Share Posted February 4, 2018 Quote 'Yes, there have been quite a few who have flown all the way from Japan to watch my theatre productions,' he says. These supporters go back a long way, he says, to a time when What Are You Gonna Do, Sai Fung? was first released, in 1999. Au starred in - as well as wrote, directed and produced - the hour-long film about Bruce Lee. The film has a big following in Japan and Au - a kung fu aficionado who wrote for the now-defunct New Martial Hero Magazine before joining ATV in the late 1980s - has reworked the film for a DVD re-release there later this month. Personally never heard about the above film, or was it a documentary?. Can anyone here shed any more light on this production?. Did it get a Western release, under a new title?.The above excert came from this short article on actor Stephen Au Kam-tong.

Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted February 5, 2018 Moderator Share Posted February 5, 2018 There's an interesting article over at the hk filmcritics site, which compares this flick against 'Bruce Lee, My Brother', as both movies cover Lee's teenage life (the one the Bruce Lee Estate can't claim to know anymore about than the rest of us).

Judging by the trailer, I guess it was made for HK/Asian T.V?. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought "low budget TV" too ha ha, that's partly why I haven't got around to watching it, plus there is no English translation or subtitles for it and though I understand some Cantonese and Japanese, it's hard not to get a bit lost in translation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
