Member teako170 Posted May 25, 2009 Member Share Posted May 25, 2009 Too bad this sucker wasn't in color (sigh...) Don't know who the woman is but.... who's the chap between director Ng See Yuen (center) and HJL (far right)? Maybe .. Tino Wong ? (my best guess) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted May 25, 2009 Member Share Posted May 25, 2009 Cool pic. I can't place the guy in between Hwang and NG, but he looks familiar. I don't recognize him from the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Gaijin84 Posted May 25, 2009 Member Share Posted May 25, 2009 I think that is Tino Wong. Pretty distinctive nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member kungfusamurai Posted May 25, 2009 Member Share Posted May 25, 2009 No, it's definitely not Tino Wong. He looks like the third guy in Game of Death who was going up the pagoda with James Tien and Bruce Lee. KFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Manozen Posted May 25, 2009 Member Share Posted May 25, 2009 Hi, The woman is Producer Ha Faan, the mystery man should be Gai Yuen? Excellent scan! :monkey16 Manozen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member kungfusamurai Posted May 25, 2009 Member Share Posted May 25, 2009 Is Gai Yuen the same person as Chieh Yuan (I can't see the picture)? That's the name of the actor I was thinking of from Game of Death. It says on IMDB he appeared in Invincible Armour, and he died in 1977 at age 32??? I found a picture of Chieh Yuan from GOD. He's in the middle. He died of a cerebral edema in '76 according to wikipedia KFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member lengyang Posted May 25, 2009 Member Share Posted May 25, 2009 I agree with Manozen. He was the guy who played HJL's guard with the mustache, tried to kill JL while captured and was killed by Tino Wong at the end. Are you guys agree?

Member teako170 Posted May 25, 2009 Author Member Share Posted May 25, 2009 The woman is Producer Ha Faan, the mystery man should be Gai Yuen? Manozen Thanks for the 411 on the woman. I didn't think it was Gai Yuen myself (seemed to be too young in that pic) *however* if you look at the Chinese text under the photo I scanned, compare it to Gai Yuen's page over at HKMDb and we have a match.... http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=14742&display_set=eng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted May 25, 2009 Member Share Posted May 25, 2009 Nice one Manozen. I always forget about that guy. He has a cool look. I wonder why he stopped acting so early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member The Dragon Posted May 26, 2009 Member Share Posted May 26, 2009 Yes definetly Chieh Yuen. He was a very good stuntman bit actor usually playing baddies. It was a big deal for him when approached by Lee to co-star in GOD. Sadly, he suffered a fate quite similar to Lee, dying about 3yrs later, further delaying the re-imaging of the film.

That's interesting that you mention that. It might explain why the final version of GoD had so much footage edited out from Lee's original concept. Two out of the three actors had died, so it wouldn't make sense to have a double for Chieh Yuen throughout the film, like they were doing for Bruce. It was just easier to edit his footage out completely. So if he hadn't died, that entire sequence might have been presented intact. KFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
