Member PandaPawPaw Posted October 16, 2023 Member Share Posted October 16, 2023 Did Bruce make a mistake in his original sketch where the guards would of been outside the pagoda and not on the bottom floor as his sketch show 6 floors when the actual Pagoda only has five? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That footage (with sound) is probably my favorite "off screen" footage of Bruce Lee, I just wish someone could give us a cleaned up, more "watchable" version of it. Do we know with any certainty who filmed it and/or has the original film? Is a better picture quality version even a possibility? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was a private showing (by who I don't know) but someone recorded it on the sly. I was hoping it was going to be on the ARROW set but sadly not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member PandaPawPaw Posted October 17, 2023 Member Share Posted October 17, 2023 Did a quick search and got lucky and found the text form from Wiki - 行发禾嘉 - 品出和協. 品出和協 is A Concord Production I think. Googled 行发禾嘉 but that's giving me - Xingfa Hejia which I have no idea what that is................... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member PandaPawPaw Posted October 19, 2023 Member Share Posted October 19, 2023 My attempt at recreating the old GH and Concord logos. I changed the Chinese font style on the Concord logo to make it a bit more snazzy. I think they turned out pretty good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be more photos from Bruce Lee's trip to Korea?, where he was taken pictures of the pogoda etc. I dont think GH would have built a replica for the exterior shots, when they planned to use real on location shots from Korea?.

Sorry I meant the actual stage/set they built for the guardian fights/floors not the Pagoda itself. I'm just curious how it looked on the outside before entering the set.

I'm just curious how it looked on the outside before entering the set. It was built inside the Golden Harvest soundstages, so if you had gone off set. All you would have seen is the concrete walls of the sound stages. There might be more pictures yet unseen, that reveal more of the BTS stuff and how the set looked from different angles. I’m guessing that due to the limited space and size of the soundstages, the pagoda walls would have been added to the inner walls?. Each set would have had three walls, with one section missing to enable the film crew to capture the scenes. They filmed one level, then re-arranged the set added some different props etc, and shot the next segment. They didn’t have three separate sets, set up all at the same time. If they had filmed this on an American budget, they could have done this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know about the soundstages and rearrangement of the set etc. I was just curious to see how big/high the set was as the main part would of been off the floor as it had stairs going down unless the going down bit was specially arrange just for that one scene. Him going down at the end shows how deep height wise the set was. Just me being curious though, no biggie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the height of the sound stage walls, Im not sure how high the walls were?. Kareems seven foot at least, and he didnt look all that cramped on his set. There's a lot of space between his head and the top of the set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member PandaPawPaw Posted October 23, 2023 Member Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) Is Kareem's style actually Mantis and not Unknown? I saw it listed on WIKI but that can't be trusted and I thought that was the 2nd floor style.

There are shots of Kareem topless fighitng Hai Tien. From the promoitional film, did they re-shoot the figh in a different way when Kareem returned to Hong Kong?. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I thought of this picture right away. Yeah I feel lots of changes probably happened but BL original sketch just said 'unknown'. Maybe they were testing to see how it looked? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member PandaPawPaw Posted October 24, 2023 Member Share Posted October 24, 2023 I think this picture (of a different movie) gives a better idea of how big the set would of been. Like you say @DragonClaws there probably wasn't much space outside the set as it was very big. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kareem is playing the ultimate opponent, and one who doesn’t have any set style of fighting. Relying purely on his brute size and strength to overcome his opponents. If they had given him the Mantis style, then it changes the whole context of their fight. The fight would have been more similar to the one of the previous two floors. Where Hai Tien adapts and changes his style, based on the fighting style of his foes. When facing Kareem character, his not able to copy or mimic his style. He’s facing a seven-foot man who is unlike any of his other opponents in the film. You get the sense; he's literally fighting for his life in the last fight. After swaggering his way through the previous levels. His facial reaction at the start of the face-off pretty much sums it all up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
