I think I read an interview with Taky where he recalls Bruce asking him to fly out for a part Bruce wanted him to play in GOD but he told Bruce he didn’t want to do it so I’m pretty sure he didn’t film anything.(but you never know)and as other people have mentioned this sort of stuff had it existed would have appeared by now. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member mpm74 Posted January 18, 2022 Author Member Share Posted January 18, 2022 Two New Posters for Alan Canvan's upcoming "Game of Death Redux"! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member mpm74 Posted January 18, 2022 Author Member Share Posted January 18, 2022 The following is a conversation with indie filmmaker, Alan Canvan. He’s a cinema enthusiast and a quote/unquote “Bruce Lee Historian” (more on that later) who has a different – and very controversial – thought process when it comes to his opinions on Bruce Lee and his films, which was one of the reasons I approached him for this interview. He also shares news about an updated, new and improved version of Game of Death Redux (aka Game of Death Redux 2.0), which will soon be released to the public. I thought it would be a good opportunity to have a chat about it, as well as many other topics surrounding Bruce Lee and his work.

Since the earliest days of the fan forums. I have a few theories on this one, but I don't have enough knowledge to really say if it exists. In Fiaz Rafiq's Bruce Lee Conversations book, Whang played down his involvement by not even admitting that he had filmed the New Territories footage or was Chieh Yuen's stunt double for the Ji Han-Jae fight. Whang told Rafiq: "Whilst I was asked to be in the movie, I was filming another movie. I was part of the casting but I never stepped my foot in the production process. I did visit the set once or twice and exercised and fooled around with Bruce Lee, but was never there when they were shooting." I guess the joke here is that Bruce must have secretly filmed Whang in the NT in response to himself being secretly filmed on location for Fist of Unicorn, which Whang was involved in.

Then again, Bruce was auditioning other people after the completion of Enter the Dragon. There's an interview that Bruce's butler Wu Ngan did for Kung Fu Monthly where he claimed that all of the pagoda fights had been filmed save for the one outside the pagoda before Bruce & Co. enter. Wu was involved in the audition process. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only had chance to read half of this so far, and it's very good. 1 hour ago, Cognoscente said: "Whilst I was asked to be in the movie, I was filming another movie.

He was apart of the project, and looked to have a much larger role than the one he played in Way of The Dragon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canvan's insights are a breath of fresh air. He's really put in the work to understanding Game of Death. Can't wait to see the updated version. @mpm74 do you know if he's planning to share his script treatment? That would make a great Bluray extra!

Yes, he was there for filming but he might not be trying to mislead/lie to anyone. Possible he might not recall much from that time now. Whang In-Sik was very active at Golden Harvest during this period. On 1/22/2022 at 9:37 AM, CliveReston said: A new and awesome spin on a familiar image.

Yes, the score does just that (which is why 1978 GOD always had a place in my heart, even topping Artport and WJ). And Alan edits picture 'n sound tightly. On 5/18/2022 at 1:38 AM, PandaPawPaw said: They keep mentioning restored but restored from what as Artport own the negs. Correct. It's a restoration off the best possible sources available. Artport most likely used the original negatives to clean up after a successful bukkake. Kidding, kidding... whatever they did with them *poof!*, is far worse Edited May 20, 2022 by mpm74 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member PandaPawPaw Posted January 4, 2023 Member Share Posted January 4, 2023 Unless this footage is found, I don't see the need to keep doing other edits of it as personally I think the footage is kind of boring to being with and has been done to death. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
