Guest Markgway Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Here's a strange one... Three wuxia by three top directors, right? Well, not according to the film itself. The poster (see link below) credits as follows: The Iron Bow - Yueh Feng The Tigress - Cheng Kang White Water Strand - Chang Cheh http://www.hkcinemagic.com/en/gallery.asp?fid=2213&id=19838#pic However, the print (see links below) credits as follows: The Iron Bow - Chang Cheh & Cheng Kang The Tigress - Chang Cheh & Cheng Kang White Water Strand - Chang Cheh http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/image_detail.mhtml?id=5313&image_id=81108&display_set=eng http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/image_detail.mhtml?id=5313&image_id=81124&display_set=eng http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/image_detail.mhtml?id=5313&image_id=81141&display_set=eng No mention at all of Yueh Feng as director. What gives?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DAJIZZARIZZA Posted January 8, 2008 Member Share Posted January 8, 2008 maybe he did not pay his dues to the triads ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member venoms5 Posted January 9, 2008 Member Share Posted January 9, 2008 Possibly he asked his name to be removed from the final film? I never paid any attention to it until you posted it just now Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Lol, that's what I'm here for.... It struck me immediately as odd. I know Celestial have been redoing the credits-- I wonder if this is their "mistake" or something more intentional?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member venoms5 Posted January 9, 2008 Member Share Posted January 9, 2008 It's obvious they are re-doing some of them, but a number of them look identical to the credits seen on tapes that have floated around for years with many of them not looking like they've been tampered with CLAN OF THE WHITE LOTUS or AVENGING EAGLE being examples of titles with credits that have been polished up.

Member Shinobi Posted January 9, 2008 Member Share Posted January 9, 2008 How highly would you guys recommend this title? Or what would you rate it? How the heck can you develope half hour films?! I'm interested in it, but don't know if I should get it just yet. Wuxia is my fav. genre though so I'm trying to collect all the Shaw wuxia films foremost.

Member venoms5 Posted January 10, 2008 Member Share Posted January 10, 2008 I wasn't particularly impressed with the movie, the last segment is the best, IMO. The movie never really grabbed me and this may be the first time a martial arts film was attempted in the anthology format. If you're collecting all of them than you'll definitely want to add this to your collection. A well made movie but nothing overly special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
