Kudos - you called it. You must continue to use this power for good. Start quoting early trailers for A Better Tomorrow II! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Killer Meteor Posted July 18, 2023 Member Share Posted July 18, 2023 The long-lost footage from THE BIG BOSS is fascinating to see. The second brothel visit feels like outtakes from a mondo documentary! And it's interesting that in cutting down the film, somebody took the trouble to remove James Tien's best fight footage! No wonder the poor bastard is still cranky! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he was in a bunch of movies way after that so was it something else that pissed him off? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but they were often in supporting roles or villain roles- his leading man career was stolen from him after Bruce came on the scene. I guess he could've gone the independent and been the lead in a bunch of kung Fu films in Taiwan but he was one of the first actors for GH and probably remained loyal to the production company I suppose. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean that this fight is now in the boxset but wasn't in the previous versions of Big Boss, or the contrary ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's a pity he didn't have more leading roles. He was good in The chase, Thunderbolt, The eight invincibles, Shaolin plot and Seaman no7. And of course Big Boss ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah right yeah that makes sense but it's a shame he stopped acting. I liked him as villain. Why would he have chosen to do GOD then if he was annoyed about his treatment with TBB? Just a money thing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would he have chosen to do GOD then if he was annoyed about his treatment with TBB? Just a money thing? I would say yes, and more exposure for his career. Bruce spoke his dialogue in English so there may have been discussions in GH internally, for an international push for GOD before Fred Weintraub came into the picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Josh Baker Posted July 22, 2023 Member Share Posted July 22, 2023 I've said in other discussion threads that James Tien probably would've come back to shoot more scenes for GOD if theyd gone in a different direction for GOD '78, because they would've driven a dump truck full of money outside of his house and it would've been his first role in an international production.

Without checking, he was in a Laura Gemser film at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
