South Africa mate. Guy's got quite the track record He's still active on eBay selling some of his prints. 

And I'll be honest I couldn't care less that TBBP2 finally gets a release. It always looked horrendous to me lol.

But you will still watch it......................

Big Boss Part II is Schrodinger's cat.  In our reality, it is interesting because nobody's been able to watch it until now.  Perhaps, in another, it was widely available but nobody cared because it isn't actually all that interesting. 

Of course, it could be some sort of hidden gem.  But I'll have to wait for a standalone release someday to say for sure.  I just can't do it.  I can't look myself in the mirror and justify spending Shawscope money on dubbed Bruceploitation.

The incomplete 47 min version (out of the 119 listed at imdb) has been available for over a year now. It's Mandarin with hardcoded Chinese and English subs but pretty shit quality.

 actually liked his ideas that got the axe better than the actual goodies included in Vol. 1.

We always want what we can't have 😂

So I got in touch with Severin about the contest & they told me it's already started. They'll pick winners as soon as they get their copies in the warehouse. So enter now if you want a chance to win a box set.

[Yihetuan]

So I was listening to the Severin podcast about the box set and David Gregory mentioned all the monikers that Korean Bruce Lee clone Keo Ryong was known by including his most famous Dragon Lee of course but then he mentioned that he was unfortunately a victim of racism as he was also called Bruce Ree (based on the stereotype that Asians can't pronounce or mix up Ls and Rs) but that's plain wrong right? He was called Bruce Rhee with Rhee being a Korean surname as Dragon Lee was of Korean descent & I imagine Jhoon Rhee as well. I hope the documentary isn't full of misinformation and miscues like that one.

Peter & Frankie's interview with the people behind the box set.

That's odd... It's just a variation of the transliteration of the very common Korean name 'ee' which can either become Lee or Rhee.. Unless it was said with venom which is another matter.

If we get a second Bruceploitation set and Shaw Brother Vol. 3 (from Arrow) in December, may wallet may spontaneously combust.

Save up now, starve until November and you'll be just in time for purchase.

With the bundle sold out in less than a week, I'd say it's safe to assume vol 2 is happening.

 Mike Worth & David Gregory secured a bundle of clone flicks in super condition and widescreen too.
