Member DragonClaws Posted May 2, 2018 Member Share Posted May 2, 2018 Quote Flatiron Carries Lee’s ‘Water’Shannon Lee, the daughter of Bruce Lee, sold a book titled Be Water, My Friend that describes how to find a path for self-improvement in the philosophies of her father. Flatiron Books’ Sarah Murphy preempted world English rights to the title from Albert Lee and Jane von Mehren at Aevitas Creative Management. Noting that Shannon Lee is the only living child of Bruce Lee, Flatiron said the book will be a guide to his “writings and teachings” that show “how these principles can inspire a life of personal growth and self-actualization.” Source- https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/book-deals/article/76674-book-deals-week-of-april-23-2018.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different cover but the same story. Thats all they can do, Lee hasnt been around to produce new content, there stuck with what there is. There continues to be a demand, but there's little new they can offer. The only way to make money then, is by releasing the same stuff over and over. Or by allowing his face to be used on products and in advertising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoYuFat Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Interesting that Klay Thompson NBA basketball player for the Golden State Warriors quotes this book after have a great game. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/be-like-water-warriors-klay-thompson-gets-philosophical-after-hitting-12-3-pointers-vs-thunder/ar-AA17d9cO?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=f3f1f37c12594e1a8ddde069dc25e300 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Brucemee Posted February 8, 2023 Member Share Posted February 8, 2023 Maybe Shannon could get behind a blu-ray release of The Green Hornet (similar to what the Batman series got a few years ago) series, or a new& improved version of a The Making Of Enter The Dragon book, or a full color, glossy paged version of Bruce Lee's Fighting Method featuring alternate photos from the original photo shoots & maybe interviews with participants like Mito Uyehara (is he still around?) & Dan Inosanto. Knowing the Lee Estate, I won't hold my breath waiting for any of that, but hopefully Shannon & Warner Bros. will at least give us a decent 50th anniversary version of Enter The Dragon (though my hopes aren't real high for that, either). I know none of that could really be described as exactly "new" but it could all be vastly improved over versions we've already gotten. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Cognoscente Posted February 8, 2023 Member Share Posted February 8, 2023 George Tan claimed that there are hours of ETD footage stored by Warner in their Kansas City vaults. He went so far to say that you could put together an entirely alternate version using different angles (the mirror room footage alone is feature-length).

If by everyone you mean a handful of fans (myself included) I agree. But seriously who outside the fandom still cares for an alternate version of ETD!? Same goes for a whole lot of other movies as well. These big companies only think in dollar signs and yes apparently another Lethal Weapon movie delivers on that promise! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we represent a relatively small niche market, but aren't we the same small market currently being catered to by companies like Eureka!, 88 Films, Shout Factory, Arrow Video, etc.? I do wish one of those companies could have some say in what WB would do with Enter The Dragon, like you say WB has never seemed willing to put much effort/money into doing anything special with ETD (it annoyed me when they included, what, 3 minutes of Ahna Capri's footage in that Blood & Steel documentary when we all knew there was more there, and, if I can vent a bit more, why do Jackie Chan's Lo Wei movies look sharper, picture wise, then the versions of ETD we've gotten thus far?! WTF?!!). Regarding another Lethal Weapon movie (hadn't heard anything about that until now), well, I'll look forward to that about as much as I'll look forward to this upcoming Indiana Jones movie, which is to say, not much! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The general public probably don't give a shit. I just find it frustrating when a lot of HK movies don't have the original negs for deleted/missing scenes where as footage that does exist doesn't get to see the light of day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Cognoscente Posted February 9, 2023 Member Share Posted February 9, 2023 HK filmmakers should have created a system where versions in different countries have different scenes so that they could make even more money. They were on the right track by having the Taiwanese versions generally being longer, but they should have afforded the same luxury to Western releases. Imagine a Western version of Yes, Madam where we lost some of the comedy but gained those old school fights with Yeoh and Rothrock. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did. The multiple endings of ‘Righting Wrongs’ to cater to the mainland and alike is a good example. Likewise for the Cynthia Khan finale in ‘Tiger Cage 2’ for the Malaysian market. There’s a few more examples mentioned in this thread - 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Cognoscente Posted February 9, 2023 Member Share Posted February 9, 2023 But what about deleted footage that fell through the cracks like the prison footage of Eastern Condors? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
