Guest Markgway Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Thousand years old fox Korean coproduction 1971 Can't seem to find any evidence of this being anything other than a pure Korean movie imported by Shaw Bros. If anyone has any proof that Shaw were a co-producer please post it. Also, I'm starting the co-productions list from 1965, the martial arts era. Unless there's overwhelming support to include older films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member panku Posted January 29, 2014 Member Share Posted January 29, 2014 Black Hair (1974) aka Dark Hair Produced by Shin / Korea Recently watched this movie and was surprised to see the entire thing looks like it was filmed at Shaws Movietown. I would be surprised if this was not a Shaw / Shin co-production, but I couldn't find anything where Shaw Brothers name was linked to the film. Directed by Korean Shaw Brothers director Chang Il-Ho (Jang Il Ho) Starring Korean Shaw regulars: James Nam Gung-Fan (Nam Suk-hoon) Chen Feng-Chen (Jin Bong-jin) Also features these Korean actors and cinematographer that were all in the Shaw / Shin co-production from the same year, The Ghost Lovers: Joo Young Go Seon-Ae Lee Hwang-Ja Ko Sang-mi Choi Seung-Woo (cinematographer) And featuring Shaw regulars: Chen Ping Ku Feng Wong Ching-Ho As well as many recognizable Shaw extras Links: http://test.kmdb.or.kr/eng/md_basic.asp?nation=K&p_dataid=02764 http://www.kmdb.or.kr/vod/vod_basic.asp?nation=K&p_dataid=02764 http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mhtml?id=11329 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Hair uses Korean leads and Night of the Devil Bride uses Lo Lieh and Chan Shen, otherwise the rest of the footage is identical. The scenes with the lead actors would have been shot using one set of actors, then re-shot right after using the other set. Most of the scenes in between that just have supporting actors in them were only shot once and are the same in both films, although I noticed a few scenes seemed to have minor differences, such as camera angles. The version of Night of the Devil Bride I saw seems to be cut so I don't know if that was the way it was originally released in HK, but because of that, there are differences in the story. Black Hair has a Korean dub and Night of the Devil Bride has a Mandarin dub. Shaws had done this previously with three Lo Wei films, Angel With the Iron Fists / Nora Zain: Ajen Wanita 001, Angel Strikes Back / Jefri Zain: Jurang Bahaya and Summons to Death / Jefri Zain: Bayangan Ajal. The films were shot with two sets of leads, one set for the Hong Kong market and one set for the Malay market. Other than the scenes with the leads, the rest of the films are identical except for the dubs. Night of the Devil Bride with Lo Lieh: Black Hair with James Nam Gung Fan: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member masterofoneinchpunch Posted October 15, 2014 Member Share Posted October 15, 2014 Great information! That is a practice that was quite popular when sound films came into existence in the 1930s, but died out after dubbing was more widespread. For example the two different versions of Dracula (1931) with the Spanish version being shot at night. Shaw Brothers used so many old style Hollywood practices that it is fascinating.
