Member BlackLamaFaction Posted September 28, 2009 Member Share Posted September 28, 2009 I was watching the film the other day on the internet. The version was pretty bad, but also during one scene the dialogue stopped and the theme from jaws was thrown in to the scene (to add tension I suppose). I was wondering if anyone knew if this appears on any other versions of the film?( I am assuming it's not in the original because of copyright laws). Or was this just someones idea of a joke? It was kind of funny. Here's the link if you want to see for yourself. It starts at 54:23. http://www.eztakes.com/store/categories/Free-Streaming-Movies.jsp "And I'm willing to convert to Buddism"................

Member teako170 Posted March 11, 2010 Member Share Posted March 11, 2010 Watched this last night (1st time!) and yeah the Jaws bit was pretty funny. Had some Star Wars & Once Upon a Time in West in the mix as well. Beat up Ocean Shores VHS but still more than watchable. Shapesfest galore! Anyone know if a wide version is out there?

Member Chia Ling AKA Judy Lee Posted March 11, 2010 Member Share Posted March 11, 2010 The music is a little offbeat I agree, but I think the film makers thought it was fitting seeing as it is one of John Steinbeck's most absurd and surprising short stories.

Hi Judy,which Steinbeck story are you referring to? I assumed you meant of Mice and Men because of the similar titles but I see no parallels in that story. I'm a big fan of Steinbeck and I would like to check out the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Black Lama, it was a very bad joke. I wouldn't be surprised if those that gave it the international title were subconciously thinking Of Mice And Men yet I doubt a John Steinbeck novel will ever get a kung fu interpretation, we are all the worse for this state of affairs...

Member BlackLamaFaction Posted March 12, 2010 Author Member Share Posted March 12, 2010 lol. I get it. I'm sorry, it's difficult to interpret sarcasm and wit in type and your obviously blessed with both. I feel silly. A Steinbeck novel would indeed make a watchable kung fu film. I believe all of the key elements are there. If they can make westerns out of Kurosawa right? It would kind of just be the reverse. Anyway, thanks for the clarification Judy.
