Member whitesnake Posted December 31, 2019 Member Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) From - https://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=26202 "Facets Video is planning to bring to 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray Ed Warnick's film Manchurian Avenger (1985), starring Derek Abernathy, Bob Coulson, Bobby Kim, and Leila Lee Olsen. The two releases are expected to arrive on the market in Spring 2020. Synopsis: East meets the Old West in this rather innocuous combination of kung fu and cowboy movies. Kim, out to avenge his father's murder, returns to his old hometown that just happens to be the scene of the crime. This proves to be Kim's old stomping grounds in more ways than one, for shortly after his arrival he's up to his black belt in trouble."

Member Cognoscente Posted May 18, 2021 Member Share Posted May 18, 2021 On 2/5/2008 at 11:44 AM, The Dragon said: FYI, The Stranger and the Gunfighter is the film Carlo Ponti wanted to offer Bruce Lee for $1 million, featuring Sofia Loren in the female lead. This film sucks and I can imagine Lee asking for rewrites of the screenplay, however, with the Nude Ass scenes left in, seeing he was quite the pervert. Too bad they didn't rewrite some of that bad stereotypical dialogue spoken by Lo's character, it's insulting! I get the impression that, had Lee lived, Malisa Longo would have played the role that Femi Benussi played whereas Sophia Loren would have been the main leading lady instead of Patty Shepard. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlbertV Posted June 8, 2021 Member Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) Ghost Rock (2003), directed by Dustin Rikert and co-written by Michael Worth, had some martial arts in it. Originally, the role of Weng was going to go to Tan Tao-liang by he returned to China and was replaced by the legendary James Hong.

Member Cognoscente Posted June 8, 2021 Member Share Posted June 8, 2021 I would have loved to have seen Polly Shang Kwan saddle up in a Western. She seems like she would have been game for it in the photo taken for the August '73 issue (#44) of Cinemart. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Cognoscente Posted June 8, 2021 Member Share Posted June 8, 2021 Golden Harvest should have thought about casting her in a Western where Chuck Norris fires guns and punches people while Polly kicks and uses darts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Cognoscente Posted June 9, 2021 Member Share Posted June 9, 2021 Someone should have made a movie with her called Buffalo Butch (the below was taken from the March '77 issue of Four Seas). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Cognoscente Posted June 11, 2021 Member Share Posted June 11, 2021 The closest that she got to doing a Western was The Venturer (1976). Has anyone seen this? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Django Posted July 17, 2021 Member Share Posted July 17, 2021 There is one obscure Spaghetti western called Death Walks in Laredo with a karate guy in it. It's quite good, I think it's up on YouTube if someone is interested. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlexanderFu Posted May 26, 2022 Member Share Posted May 26, 2022 In The Magic Blade, Ti Lung is practically wearing Cling Eastwood's Poncho! That is as much an East meets West 'Western' as I can think of off the top of my head. Love that movie and Pursuit of Vengeance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Agent U Posted February 6, 2023 Member Share Posted February 6, 2023 Wild Wild West TV series - the main character James West, played by the late Robert Conrad, got into plentiful fisticuffs every episode, and though boxing seemed to be his primary style, he'd also throw some MA moves every now and then. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea why they even cast an Asian martial arts expert if he's not going to do any martial arts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlbertV Posted February 20, 2023 Member Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) The Outsider - Jon Foo is a Chinese railroad worker in the Old West who seeks revenge against the corrupt lawmen who killed his wife. Gunfight at Rio Bravo - Olivier Gruner's supporting character of Marshall Carter gets to throw some kicks against one of Matthias Hues's henchmen in the final action set piece.
