Member GOLDEN DRAGON YIN-YANG Posted March 17, 2009 Member Share Posted March 17, 2009 In how many Shaw Brothers movies have you seen the 'Magic Carpet' that took us for a ride into kung fu fighting realms beyond the imagination? Of course I am speaking of that ONE carpet the Golden One with The Blue middle section. In how many movies has this carpet been the center piece for Shaw fights? Too many to count. Is this the only carpet in the Shaws lot? There certainly must be a story behind that carpet. Why was IT used in so many movies? Does anyone know its secret and the words to unlock its: "Magic Carpet Ride"! Trivial no doubt, but I imagine I am not the only one who kept seeing this carpet in the Shaw movies.

Member magicpoe Posted March 17, 2009 Member Share Posted March 17, 2009 Yeah I know the one and everytime someone either walks or fights on it dust flies up like it's never seen a vacuum in its life. Was in Sword Stained with Royal Blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Yu_Xihong Posted March 17, 2009 Member Share Posted March 17, 2009 I feel the same way about that grassy hill in Heroes Two. They shot at least 10-15 films there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Asmo Posted March 20, 2009 Moderator Share Posted March 20, 2009 I don't think it has an official 'name'. 'Flying carpet' or 'magic carpet ride' both sound better than just 'carpet'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Iron Boat Posted January 3, 2010 Member Share Posted January 3, 2010 I already recall someone pointing this out and presenting a slew of pics of that carpet, I have no idea why they are so fond of this carpet but it makes for great easter egg.

Member The Dragon Posted January 11, 2010 Member Share Posted January 11, 2010 Carpets must not have been high on the set prop dept.'s list... They spent far much more money rebuilding that staircase that always got destroyed in flicks like The Boxer From Shangtung, House of Traps, and Chinatown Kid.

Member easternfreak Posted July 14, 2011 Member Share Posted July 14, 2011 Hi to all, maybe someone of you can help me. I`m writing a Story of a Carpet which was used in many SB Movies. Here are some Photos from the Carpet: http://www.martial-arts-museum.de/shaw-brothers-props-1/the-story-of-a-carpet/ Maybe someone of you can named more Shaw Brothers Movies where is the carpet to see! I think that is a very interesting Theme (i know, not for everybody). Best Regards...easternfreak!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Shaolin Chamber 36 Posted July 14, 2011 Member Share Posted July 14, 2011 Yes, this is very interesting. I bet the carpet has been used in tons more movies. I will keep a look out for it and let you know if I see it in any films not already listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
