Member DragonClaws Posted December 4, 2021 Member Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) Here's the thread for all things Dragon Lee related. I'll be adding a short biography and filmography at a later date. If anyone has any biographical information they could share, about the actor?.

Member DragonClaws Posted December 12, 2021 Member Share Posted December 12, 2021 Quote Dragon Lee (born August 12, 1958 in North Korea), is an actor and practitioner of Taekwondo and Hapkido. His birth name is Moon Kyoung-seok but has been called Keo Ryong in South Korea. Soon after his birth, his family relocated to the former U.S.S.R where he was given the name Vyachaslev Yaksysnyi. His family remained there until Lee was a teenager after then they relocated to South Korea. After that he studied taekwondo with friend and actor Kim Tai Chung It was at this stage of his life that Lee began studying also the Korean martial art of hapkido under the direction of Hwang In-Shik. source- https://martialartsincinema.wordpress.com/2016/06/26/dragon-lee/ VHS cover: source- https://www.cinematerial.com/movies/dragon-lee-vs-five-brothers-i165255/p/kyo4ngqh 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Korean title is Five Great Disciples and it is on HKMDB under Fury Of Dragon. Edited December 14, 2022 by J.J. Hayden 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy to share info with you on Keo Ryong (aka Dragon Lee), all the Koreans deserve their own page, if only info was easy to come by. It might not be for some time though, as I've got a lot of Korean stuff to sort through, but let me know if you need a hand I'd I'll try to fast track Dragon stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good movie, if I remember well, but it seems that there were some flows, maybe because of some cut scenes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, I have a version with that title too, lol. It seems that most of the Korean films are cut down, I'm not sure of the reasons, but I think it might've been to keep the film to 1h30 for cinema spaces maybe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShawAngela Posted December 20, 2022 Member Share Posted December 20, 2022 I just found this on Facebook : Chairman of the Korean Film Actors Association Georyong/Keo Ryong (real name Moon Kyung-seok) won the Popular Arts Award at the 64th Seoul Culture Awards Ceremony. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member J.J. Hayden Posted December 20, 2022 Member Share Posted December 20, 2022 Most people know him as just that muscly Bruce Lee clone, but he's done so much for his juniors and Korean cinema as a whole over the years. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It not been my main focus at the moment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member J.J. Hayden Posted January 4, 2023 Member Share Posted January 4, 2023 Spotted this error during my some research and though it best to post now before I forget about it. I'm down so many rabbit holes at the moment I'm expecting to bump into General Woundwort It's a rather unusual one in that it's an error on HKMDB, KMDB and many others too!!! The following two pictures are not from Twelve Gates Of Hell (1980), but are actually from Eighteen Women Fighters Of Murim (aka The 18 Amazones) (1979). Both pictures feature the film's main star Keo Ryong (aka Dragon Lee). The second picture is listed as also featuring Kim Min-jeong and Kim Yeong-il (aka Eagle Han), however it is actually Im Eun-joo (aka Pearl Lin) and Jang Il-do (aka Bruce Lai). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DragonClaws Posted June 15, 2023 Member Share Posted June 15, 2023 @J.J. Hayden, if you could share some of your Dragon Lee knowledge, it would be much apprciated. When I started this thread, there were no other threads in this sub forum about him. However, a lot have started hae now just been merged into other existing threads, that are much older. I was going to start a few threads on a few other actors, but there is no need if there are already other threads on the forum waiting to be moved here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member J.J. Hayden Posted March 29 Member Share Posted March 29 Looks like it's really happening, Tiger's Trigger is actually going to see release. Things are looking exciting at the press conference with Won Jin showing off some moves and plenty of Korean martial arts cinema royalty showing up to give their support. Cheers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
