Member Bravery Posted March 16, 2008 Member Share Posted March 16, 2008 How long did this take you? will you ever consider posting the unabridged version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member venoms5 Posted March 16, 2008 Author Member Share Posted March 16, 2008 I don't remember. A few days maybe? I did it some time back in '06. The reason I didn't post it earlier was I thought there probably wasn't much to add that hadn't already been discussed in the past. The remainder covers around 3 additional pages maybe a little more. I have a few other pieces similar to this one with one of them even longer and a couple shorter ones I haven't finished yet. Thanks for taking the time to read through it Bravery!

Member venoms5 Posted March 17, 2008 Author Member Share Posted March 17, 2008 I'd like to read the rest as well as anything else you would post. And, thanks to you for taking the time to post it. Yeah, I might do just that. I just need to go back and insert the segments I removed. Maybe I should highlight them in another color so you'd know what was put back in? Thank YOU for taking the time to read it. I've also got an unfinished piece on Sun Chung, too and have an outline for pieces on both Cheng Kang and Kuei Chi Hung. Need to get around to working on those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to put back in the sections I removed before. These sections will be highlighted. It's a bit more than I thought amounting to around 7 pages worth of extra material.

Member venoms5 Posted March 18, 2008 Author Member Share Posted March 18, 2008 The added sections are in dark red and italicized. I see why I removed some of it. It kind of repeats a bit later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a massive Eurocrime article coming (split into multiple parts of course) along with a stack of Eurocrime movie reviews either tomorrow or the next day. I only have the one Maurizio Merli movie review on there so this should balance that genre out for a bit. I hope you will enjoy those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Fang Shih-yu Posted June 6, 2010 Member Share Posted June 6, 2010 Well done, venoms5! However, having watched Young People yesterday, I'd say the film was more of a comedy with light dramatic touches which remind me (in part) of the old American International Pictures movies with Frankie and Annette...except there's no beach here!

Member mpm74 Posted June 6, 2010 Member Share Posted June 6, 2010 Venoms5.... awesome! "The Million Dollar Director" How many directors were known as this? Wasn't that Lo Wei's nickname, too? Looking forward to your other features on those directors you mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those movies definitely deserve more exposure, or at least one viewing for there curiosity value. This piece here covers the entire series of 'Youth' films from the director, as well as one's he merely supervised, or produced. http://www.coolasscinema.com/2010/04/cinema-of-excess-chang-cheh-his-films.html Part 5 here.... http://www.coolasscinema.com/2010/04/cinema-of-excess-chang-cheh-his-films_28.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was perusing some magazines for images for the site the other day and I think I ran across a caption (for RAW COURAGE, I think) where Wei is called that by the writer.

I had not realized King Eagle was Lung's first starring vehicle; compared to Chiang's [first solo movie] The Wandering Swordsman, Lung fared better, while Chiang's character was an existential "Peter Pan"!

DEAD END (1969) was Ti Lung's first star turn all to himself. KING EAGLE (1971) was his solo effort after he and David Chiang had already been featured onscreen together.

KING EAGLE (1971) was his solo effort after he and David Chiang had already been featured onscreen together. Of course! I was mixed up because King Eagle is the first Ti Lung solo movie I've SEEN! Big difference! I'll definitely check out Dead End as soon as it's manageable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll definitely check out Dead End as soon as it's manageable! DEAD END is quite a good movie and vastly different from what the director is more popularly known for. However, some of his cinematic themes are presented here, just from a different perspective in relation to his action pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
