Member Phantom Dreamer Posted July 19, 2014 Member Share Posted July 19, 2014 Bump. The lack of real names used bothered me. They couldn't use Ruby Chow, Raymond Chow's names etc.? They couldn't even use Golden Harvest, instead it was "Pearl of the Orient". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Tex Killer Posted July 19, 2014 Member Share Posted July 19, 2014 For usa attempt this was pretty good. Hollywood knows how to make Bruce Lee movie without bruce more enjoyable than their wild west flicks(excluding clint eastwood stuff). Not sure if that is good thing tho...

That's pretty typical of any bio film, to avoid law suits, etc. Besides, it's a Linda Lee/Lee Estate production, so that means, they'll blur out the rest.

Dragon had more changes to names and businesses than any other biopic I can remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Killer Meteor Posted August 7, 2014 Member Share Posted August 7, 2014 Dragon had more changes to names and businesses than any other biopic I can remember. That's because there is a lot of bad blood still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member reason108 Posted August 12, 2014 Member Share Posted August 12, 2014 I don't even think that they got the Bruce & Linda relationship right. I so badly wanted that film to set the record straight. But, man, what a POS that film was. Honestly, if it would have been just a kung fu flick then I would have said that it was decent for Hollywood (for that time). At least it came out a few years before The Matrix. Otherwise, we would have had Bruce dodging bullets and kicking high in the air in slo-mo while the camera spun around him. But, sadly, that film only added to the BS myths with little truth. But, I would guess that a lot of people that were not in the know thought that it was true because it involved Linda Lee. I have had arguments with people about that movie and how Bruce really hurt his back and that the revenge angle was all crap. But, once they seen the film no one wants to listen. Sometimes, you just gotta let the "sheeples" believe what they want.*** ***(and by the way, i do not claim to be an BL know it all. i had an overall details about his life from the books and interviews about him that I have read and seen. i still learn new things all the time.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is anyone here familiar with James Brown's story and seen the James Brown biopic that was released recently and could they compare the events in the film and reality and how it compares with Bruce Lee and Dragon?

I want to see it but will wait for home video. Has it even come out yet? Saw the trailer but it looked pretty bad. Bad as in not good, just to clarify. Not James Brown bad, as in kick-ass.

Member Phantom Dreamer Posted August 25, 2014 Member Share Posted August 25, 2014 Could they have made a "Chinese Raging Bull"? Should they have? Would it have been more successful and accepted by the audience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Phantom Dreamer Posted October 26, 2014 Member Share Posted October 26, 2014 Well Raymond Chow isn't exactly whiter than white but he's by no means the Godfather of Hong Kong. Now Chan Wai Man might well be able to answer more questions about the night Bruce died more than anyone else, unfortunately he ain't talking! I want to know more about Chan Wai Man's whereabouts on July 20, 1973. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Phantom Dreamer Posted April 2, 2017 Member Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) Dragon is so ridiculous, that Rob Cohen story was believable, plus it is a fact that the producers used Bruce Li movies as source material.

Funny how nobody listened to it until the media picked up three years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
