Member kungfusamurai Posted December 28, 2007 Member Share Posted December 28, 2007 Perhaps the date on the magazine was a faded '8', because that can look like a '3' when looked at incorrectly. That would account for the belief that it was talked about in '73 when it really was in a magazine from '78. Beyond that, it's quite clear from the film itself, just looking at the age of the actors, that it is definitely, 100%, NOT from any year before '75.

Guest Fankles Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I definitely dug the movie, but it's certainly not the best ever. I liked the humor and the atypical plot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the actors look the same throughout (Gordon Liu, Wong Yue, etc) and there aren't any other inconsistencies in things like the action, storyline, sets, etc that you'd expect from something filmed over such a large period of time. I'm reminded of The Victim: if you compare Sammo's first two scenes (the letter on the hill and the town square), it looks like a significant amount of time had gone by. In the first scene, he looks slightly fatter and his hair is longer. More than that, the movie had to have been filmed over a long period of time because it's only halfway through the movie that Leung is shown to be a master of the Iron Cross style. It seems like The Victim began filming way before people got carried with the made-up styles post-SITES. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member dionbrother Posted June 8, 2021 Member Share Posted June 8, 2021 I rewatched HE HAS NOTHING BUT KUNG FU a few years ago, and Mang Hoi's scenes look inserted for the 1977 release. Pretty sure it was similar to THE VICTIM and FIST OF FURY 3, among many others in that it was worked on for several years. It's just how cheap indy films were made. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
