Iron Monkey 3 which i think was Lau Kar-leung's DRUNKEN MONKEY getting the retitle for Korea

The Protector 2 aka Police Story

 

[DragonClaws]

 

Fearless Master(1980) a.k.a Litte Master, is sometimes sold as Fearless Hyena 3.

Jackie Chan clone, Jacky Cheng Shou-Lung(Angel Terminators), stars alongside Bolo Yeung, in this false sequel to Fearless Hyena 2, with choreogprahy from Bruce Le(Huang Kin-Lung).

It seems like there's a few movies that use the title Ultra Force in Germany. Especially the girls with guns movies. 

Yes, Madam (1985):

Royal Warriors (1986):

 

Tiger Cage (1988):

Killing Angels (1989):

Devil Hunters (1989):

Also in Germany, Princess Madam (1989) was released as if it was the 4th Iron Angels movie:

Easy to see how fans/collectors, bought the same film multiple times, without knowing it, in the pre-internet day's. Looks like you could have a whole thread, just dedicated to misleading girls with guns releases.

A re-titling for one of the many Bloodfist films, featuring Don Wilson, there never was a Kickboxer 6.

Bloodfist III: Forced to Fight is called Revenge of the Kickboxer

Bloodfist 5: Human Target is known as Cilada para um Kickboxer (Trap for a Kickboxer)

Bloodfist VII: Manhunt is known simply as Cicada Humana (Manhunt) in Brazil.

Bloodfist VIII: Hard Way Out is known as No Limits of Violence in Brazil.

Lol, Jackie Chan in this IP Man 4 thumbnail. Id say thats pretty misleading unless Im missing something...

[DragonClaws]

 

This movie is often reffered to as Sister Street Fighter 4: Fifth Level Fist. While Etsuko Shihomi does star in this production. It's not related to the other films in the Sister Streetfighter series.

I recenlty read in the Bleeding Steel thread, that the films being re-titled Police Story Re-Born in Japan, or some similar title. Unable to find a poster or image of this, even if they dont make it out to be a sequel, its still very misleading.

@Takuma was the first to post this news.

 

 

[DragonClaws]

 

Did this come out before or after the 1991 Van Damme movie of the same name?.

 

[DragonClaws]

 

Was Tiger on The Beat 2, an actual sequel?, or did it ony share the same title?. @Tex Killer recent post about watching this movie, sparked my interest in it.

It was an actual sequel. It features the stunt that almost killed Conan Lee...

 

[DragonClaws]

 

Thanks @AlbertV, recall reading about that stunt in Impact magazine, how could I forget it was from Tiger on The Beat 2.

I'm surprised nobody mentionned there exist:

• THREE Big Boss 2: the first one from 1976 stars Bruce Le and Lo Lieh and is also known as Big Boss Part II http://www.hkcinemagic.com/en/movie.asp?id=9724, the second one is a 1979 Dragon Lee film (also starring Bolo as a Japanese with a Hitler 'stache) that's also known as Dragon Bruce Lee 2 or Dragon Bruce Lee: Part II http://www.hkcinemagic.com/en/movie.asp?id=3145 and the third one is a 1980 movie with Casanova Wong best known as Lone Shaolin Avenger or The Mighty Four (as it is called on the Way of the 5 Finger Death Strike Mill Creek Entertainment 12-movie set) http://www.hkcinemagic.com/en/movie.asp?id=6749

• a Jet Le (of Kung Fu Kids fame) movie called  Little Kids beat the Boss can be found under the title Young Big Boss, (original title:) http://www.hkcinemagic.com/en/movie.asp?id=9329
• not sure if it fits, but since I'm on a Big Boss-based title run... Dragon Sek's second Dragon the Master - known as Dragon the Master 2: Big Boss Untouchable - is sometimes only labelled by its subtitle http://www.hkcinemagic.com/en/movie.asp?id=7145

 

 

 

• Fist of Fury 2 AKA Chinese Connection 2, starring Bruce Li http://www.hkcinemagic.com/en/movie.asp?id=2287 
• Bruce Li's excellent Jeet Kun the Claws and the Supreme Kung Fu is more famously known as Fist of Fury 3 http://www.hkcinemagic.com/en/movie.asp?id=6804 (and to add a layer of confusion, it's available in France as just "Fist of Fury" - I actually have this release of it)

• New Fist of Fury (with Jackie Chan billed as the star but actually in a minor role IIRC) http://www.hkcinemagic.com/en/movie.asp?id=1161 (and while the French release simply adds "nouvelle" - which is French for "new" - to the title of the original Bruce Lee movie like the English title does, it seems to be available as Meister aller Klassen 3 - or "Master of all classes 3" (?) - in Germany) 

 

• a Dragon Sek (yes, that guy again) movie from the 1990s called Return of the Dragon also exists as New Fist of Fury 2 http://www.hkcinemagic.com/en/movie.asp?id=8895

 

Not sure if it's really mislabelling or actually a more accurate titling, but over here in France, Come drink with me is called L'Hirondelle d'Or ("The Golden Swallow") and Golden Swallow is called Le Retour de l'Hirondelle d'Or ("Return of the Golden Swallow").

Rearranging.

[Chu Liu Hsiang]

Haha, I feel dizzy now, despite sipping a double espresso while reading

Chinese title of COME DRINK WITH ME translates to 'drunken knight' or 'big drunken hero' while GOLDEN SWALLOW is translation of the original title (a rare occasion, haha).

More confusing German Jackie Chan titles: MEISTER ALLER KLASSEN = THE YOUNG MASTER, MEISTER ALLER KLASSEN 2 = SPIRITUAL KUNG FU.

PROJECT A = DER SUPERFIGHTER, FEARLESS HYENA 2 = SUPERFIGHTER 2, FEARLESS HYENA = SUPERFIGHTER 3. More appropriateley, PROJECT A II = PROJECT B.

WEALS ON MEALS = POWERMAN, TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR = POWERMAN 2, HEART OF DRAGON = POWERMAN 3. MY LUCKY STARS = TOKYO POWERMAN.

I need more coffee.

Don't quote me, but I think this thread's for misleading sequels, rather than a.k.a's for artial Arts movies?. That in itself, could be a whole series of thread/book's. Some movies have so many a.k.a's, you could dedicate a book just to one flick.

 

I'll never forgive who-ever decided to re-package the Yuen Qui production Police Woman(1976), as Rumble in Hong Kong. Like it was some early pre-quel made in Hong Kong. As a new to the genre fan, it was a headscratcher sitting through that one.
