Member ShawAngela Posted July 22, 2023 Member Share Posted July 22, 2023 I watched the Mandarin longer version today and I enjoyed it a lot. And I'm almost sure that I had already saw the second prostitute scenes before. Maybe when the movie was shown in the 90' on the French TV. Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to watch all the versions back to back in order to compare them, maybe later... I also watched Fist of fury. I have a Korean dvd that lasts for 110 mn (at least, that's what is mentioned on the back cover), if I have time, I'll watch it again, but it seems to me that the last time I watched it, I had noticed that the scene with the rickshaw and Wei Ping Ao was longer. Maybe I'm mistaken. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that scene was on the French TV screening, but the Mandarin trailer, with footage from that scene, has been around for years 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it wasn't worth the money offered 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Boards Fight Back Posted December 11, 2023 Member Share Posted December 11, 2023 James Tien gets pwned badly when he goes to the house. LOL. Still hoping The Chase gets a release. It was a #1 movie in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member PandaPawPaw Posted December 16, 2023 Member Share Posted December 16, 2023 I randomly found this pic and the idea of them throwing the dogs doesn't sit right with me. I get things were done differently then but it's still shitty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get things were done differently then but it's still shitty. Did they have to re-shoot some of the Thai set scenes at Wader studios?, for the sequence at the Boss's mansion?. Or did they need to film some extra close up shots?. Animal cruelty wasnt an issue in 1970's Asian cinema, it was still going on even in Hollywood during the same time. Nothing new, many animals died during the making of the original Walt Disney version of Homeward Bound, something the company will shy away from now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
