Member shukocarl Posted June 29, 2010 Author Member Share Posted June 29, 2010 Just want to say have finished it and thoroughly enjoyed it. Some beautiful poster art in there and cheeky comment! My only criticism would be that there wasn't enough about Dragon Lee and Bruce Le but I saw that you posted that you really decided where to concentrate early on. Overall Well worth the buy and would def recommend! Now I'm blushing....seriously, thanks for your kind comments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Dragon Posted July 22, 2010 Member Share Posted July 22, 2010 Huang Kin Lung's (I refuse to call the clones by their exploitation names) cameo I guess you'd call it, in GH's Game of Death? He appears at the 50:48 mark where Bob Wall chases the Billy Lo character through the Lion Dance in the Macao back streets. When they first show the lion, he is the first troupe member to the left of the lion head! I noticed this years ago, however, while watching this today, thought I'd make it known-if no one else was aware. ... Funny. He was on the set, and they never used the guy? With those scenes that called for Billy Lo in shades, he would have looked more like Bruce than any of the shadow actors. IMO. Dragon out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member shukocarl Posted July 22, 2010 Author Member Share Posted July 22, 2010 No mate, I've never noticed that 'cameo' I will definately check that out. Thanks. I wonder if he tried to get a part as one of the doubles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I never use the clone names either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member johnoverall Posted July 23, 2010 Member Share Posted July 23, 2010 Just a reminder that stock of Carl's book is getting low and it will most likely not see a reprint, unless the coverage in next month's Total Film, Martial Arts Illustrated and Impact opens the floodgates. Get your orders in now; there are also four signed copies remaining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind dropping me a private message and I'll pass on ordering information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member johnoverall Posted August 6, 2010 Member Share Posted August 6, 2010 Take heart, Carl. The pothead comment was more about the style of writing than a direct reference to you as a person. Also, as cutting as some of the remarks are your book was in the company of printed works by Faber and Faber and the BFI and fared better than some of them. Considering it's a small-press effort we should be proud. Chin up, copies of MAI and Impact have been sent to me so let's move on and see what their opinions bring.... ... oh, and if it helps, Total Film returned my Bruce Lee book as ineligible for review so you made the grade where I failed.

Member Jack J Posted August 8, 2010 Member Share Posted August 8, 2010 Hey Carl & John, I've had my copy for a while now and I just wanted to say it's a way cool book! It's cool on its own and twice as cool when you think about the fact that not a whole lot of books are published about these kinds of "trashy" kung fu movies. Good on ya, mates!

Member shukocarl Posted October 2, 2010 Author Member Share Posted October 2, 2010 Hiya Mark No, it didn't sell as well as expected:sad: I'm not sure how many are left. You'd have to ask John. My next book will come out later this month/early november. Cheers Carl No more prints runs Did it not sell too well then? How many copies are out there?

Member johnoverall Posted October 2, 2010 Member Share Posted October 2, 2010 No more prints runs Did it not sell too well then? How many copies are out there? There were 101 copies produced including the proof; 14 regular copies remain and are now on eBay. For a small-press book with a limited audience I'd say it's performed fine, but not great since its release in May, Many of the expressions of interest failed to translate into sales but I'd like the remaining copies sold so we can redeem our investment and I can move onto other projects.
