Member Graeme Of Death Posted October 23, 2019 Member Share Posted October 23, 2019 Love seeing all these old behind the scenes photos. Also like how a lot of these actors who you always assumed must be super fit and healthy often have a cigarette in their hand 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is, Fu Sheng is wearing the same clothes and also the set is the same when Fung Hark On ambushed him in it with that concealed sword. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pollution was so bad in H.K, that smoking tasted better than the poor air quality. In Robert Clouses ETD book, he says you could smell the Island before you ven landed. Many pictures of choreographers and stunt guy's staging moves with cigarettes hanging from their mouths. Make you wonder how fit/fast they would have been, without the smoking?. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member CT KID Posted October 24, 2019 Member Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) I remember after Jackie had become famous Lo Wei had inserted old behind the scenes footage of him choreographing a fight scene with a cigarette dangling from his lips into one of his films. Chan wrote about how pissed he was about it in the book Jackie Chan: My Life ln Action and how he had quit the filthy habit years earlier.

That wasn't Lo Wei - the film is 36 Crazy Fists. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Graeme Of Death Posted October 25, 2019 Member Share Posted October 25, 2019 Haha never seen that film before, is it any good? Still weird seeing Jackie absolutely shredded, not a pick of fat on him with a cigarette hanging out his mouth. Surely the great Yuen Biao didn't smoke? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Mike Leeder Posted October 26, 2019 Member Share Posted October 26, 2019 When i first arrived in HK, a big eye opener was how so many people smoked and still do, actors, directors, stuntmen etc In HK, China, Korea etc, smoking is still something of a social occasion, and cigarettes are still cheap compared to the west there was also when i arrived cigarette advertising on TV< blatant advertising in moves,how many times have you seen Winston Cigarettes popping up in HK movies? And then Marlbaro and other companies started sponsoring music and movies in the early 90's, Saviour of the Soul, Gameboy Kids etc feature some blatant cigarettes are cool moments! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the correction, mistakenly remembered it being a Lo Wei film because Lo and Jackie had a bad falling out. It was unscrupulous producers of 36 Crazy Fists he said that inserted the behind the scenes footage just so they could claim he was in the film. Pretty shady... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shot might have been taken at Chan Wai-Mans gym?, I wouldnt put money on that but its a possibility. How many films did the pair appear in?, I can only think of Cold Blooded Murder and The Furiose Killer. Both movies being released in 1981. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member sym8 Posted November 6, 2019 Member Share Posted November 6, 2019 I’d read somewhere once that Sammo Hung helped with some of The directing of Project A because of time restraints and Jackie had multiple duties,this might be one of the scenes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
