Member Chinatown Kid Posted February 17, 2009 Member Share Posted February 17, 2009 I used to buy Inside Kung Fu and Black Belt magizines. I never saw any of the MA Movie magazines at my local bookstore but I would have definately bought them if they did. I remember one mag that came out for a short while called Masters and Styles and featured MA from different styles demonstrating different ways to handle an attack against an opponent. Some of the people I remembered featured were Chuck Norris, William Cheung, and Paulie Zink, a monkey stylist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member thelastweaponmaster Posted February 18, 2009 Member Share Posted February 18, 2009 I am going to be dating myself here but I actually have every issue of this magazine. It definitely was a good read from a number of informed contributors/intense fan base. I actually wrote an article (on the film career of Liu Chia-liang to that point) that made it into the last issue of 'Martial Arts Movies'. I corresponded with a Daniel Lee from Toronto, Canada for a number of years on the martial arts genre through the post (pre-Internet days), and he was a frequent contributor to the magazine.

Member tantao3-son of tantao2 Posted February 20, 2009 Member Share Posted February 20, 2009 ...these were the good old days...great, solid information...from a well-informed "fan-base"... to lastweaponmaster: is daniel lee still "active" today?

Member thelastweaponmaster Posted February 20, 2009 Member Share Posted February 20, 2009 Hi. That was actually a close knit fan base back there. Daniel Lee was a very knowledgeable fan of the Hong Kong movie scene, had put out his own periodic newsletter and was also a contributor to a fanzine back then called the "Jade Screen" as well as to the magazine "Martial Arts Movies". If I remember correctly, "Jade Screen" was based out of Florida and put together by two female fans, one of them being Karen Shaub. Back then, I was familiar with the Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest films. Daniel exposed me to martial arts films made by the independent film companies starring the likes of Tan Tao-liang and John Liu and such films as Snuff Bottle Connection and Secret Rivals 1 and 2. As for Daniel, unfortunately I have lost track of him many years ago. If anyone knows of him, I wouldn't mind getting back in touch with him to catch up. Thanks.
