Member DragonClaws Posted June 12, 2019 Author Member Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) For those wishing to know a lot more about Bruce Lee's. Abdonned American movie project, The Silent Flute. Then the following books is for you. Quote In recent years I have managed to amass what is possibly the largest existing collection of totally unpublished documents related to the great dream of Bruce Lee: The Silent Flute. Reports, official documents, personal writings, both manuscripts and typed, notes, letters, transcripts of work meetings, contracts... that constitute a true treasure of collecting for any historian, but also lovers of cinema, Jeet Kune Do and the philosophy of Bruce Lee. This was his great dream, which he pursued for years, and the work of documenting all that trip has been huge, but really unique and special. An episode hardly referenced and almost forgotten about the life of Bruce Lee, curiously his greatest personal ambition for years, finally in all of its glorious splendor and amazingly detailed. I can assure that 75% of the information contained in this book sees the light for the first time. And you can enjoy all of this in the original English, also transcribed into English for easier reading and translated into Spanish. Discover Bruce Lee like you have never seen him before. All contrasted, verified and with the rigor and seriousness that the Bruce Lee fans deserve. Full of data, dates, details, information, curiosities... Stories and information that rewrite history. You can see documents that were speculated if they were real or just a rumor, things that we have always heard about, but even their existence was unknown, and a Bruce Lee much more human and real.

Member DragonClaws Posted June 25, 2019 Author Member Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) Quote Up until Aug. 9, 1969, the name beneath the ankh had stood for Jay Sebring, the No. 1 haircutter to the stars, the guy who came out of beauty school and invented a whole new way of cutting men's hair. Who went into a white-coated profession dressed in hip-hugger jeans and chambray shirts. Who studied martial arts with Bruce Lee and raced sports cars with Paul Newman. Before Aug. 9, 1969, it was a name known only in select circles; afterward it was known everywhere, as the name of the man who was butchered with Sharon Tate and three others in the notorious Manson murders.

Member DragonClaws Posted June 29, 2019 Author Member Share Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) Quote Bruce Lee's personally owned scripts for ''The Silent Flute''. As indicated on the title pages, Lee collaborated with James Coburn and Stirling Silliphant in the development of the screenplay, dated 19 October 1970. Coburn abandoned the project after reportedly falling out with Lee, who moved on to star in ''Fists of Fury''. In 1978, five years after Lee's death it was salvaged by producer Paul Maslansky and released as ''Circle of Iron''. Scripts both run 70pp., plus a final copied page of hand notes pertaining to the bizarre characters encountered by the film's protagonist Cord the Seeker, including paragraphs on Rhythm Man, Mechanical Man, Monkey Man and Tara. One script, bound in a report cover appears to be a later generation copy of the other, which is bound with a large metal brad. Each measures 8.5'' x 11''. Toning throughout, edge wear and foxing to the title page of metal-bound script. Toning to the title page of report cover bound script, else near fine. Accompanied by the original envelope in which the scripts were delivered to Lee, addressed in felt tip to Lee at his Roscomare Road address in Bel Air. From the impressive collection of Herb Jackson, whose well-documented friendship with Lee began while he trained in Jeet Kune Do at Lee's Los Angeles martial arts academy, located at 628 West College St. in Chinatown. Jackson was present at Lee's Bel Air home the day these screenplays were delivered, and Lee likely gifted them after severing ties with the project. With a COA from Herb Jackson's son.

Becuase according to the video interview below the still, the image was never publicly released by its owner. This is another superb video from Charles Damiano and his team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Marcos Ocaña Posted July 19, 2019 Member Share Posted July 19, 2019 This wasn't really an interview, but the gran opening of the new Jhoon Rhee school in Santo Domingo. The official presentation for themedia was the previous day, but no TV was present, just newspapers and radio. The man with the mic, Ellis Pérez (a wonderful man), was back in the day in Dom. Rep. (And even nowadays) the equivalent to Johnny Carson, Jay Leno or the number one TV presenter in the US, but in DR. But he was also a student of Cuqui Reyes (the gentleman in black jacket, and another wonderful man), so when Bruce came it was almost natural that Ellis was the "presenter" and speaker for the group during the visit. These 2 men were there with Bruce from minute 1 to the very last moment. Ellis was also the official translator during Bruce's stay, although some others also spoke English. The only moment there were Tv cameras was when Bruce visited the studio Rahintel, and the interview wasn't recorded, because at the time the machines were really big and not really prepared for recording, just transmiting the signal, and only very, very few things were recorded. Bruce wasn't that big. Rhee recalled that during a demo Bruce broke a studio light after a kick broke a board with a kick that propelled the board against the TV light, but asolutely nobody present there recalls this other than Rhee, so most likely that's something that only happened in Rhee's mind. Ellis has a wonderful memory and so have others. nobody recalls this. And nobody remember TV cameras on the demos, and like they told me, people at the time were very poor there as to be able to afford a filming camera. Who knows! Anyway, based on what around 20 people present there told me, what Bruce did in his demo was exactly the same Bruce did in his demo filmed on HK TV barely few weeks later on TVB. For a ton of more photos, info, names, annecdotes and the like, you can purchase my book on that trip. bld1970@yahoo.es In the pic below you can see Bruce at Teatro Agua y Luz in Sto. Domingo, assisted by Amin Canaan (holding the boards), Cuqui Reyes (chair in hand) and Ramon Smith (in the audience), on 8th Feb, 1970. As you can see, there are no lights Bruce could break, since they were protecting the audience with that mattress. Marcos 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have really shined a spotlight, on the rarely talked about part of his Hollywood life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
