All the Bruce knock-offs were mostly from Taiwan or Korea. The development of kung fu cinema made a change in 1974, going from the karate influenced "basher" films to the Shaolin cycle, which introduced an empathis on distinctive animal styles and so on. Bruce's style, both of choreography and filmmaking, didn't really last (that isn't a criticism, just an observation)

Group commentary on the way for Invisible Target:

It sounds like fun. I know about Edison Chen but what did Nicholas Tse do wrong?

He did nothing wrong, but the HK press and public are particularly puritanical, and the HK publicity machine is particularly spineless, so he's been told to lay low just because of his indirect association to the scandal.

Thanks guys.

How was he indirectly involved? Is he going out with one of the ladies in the photos?

Cecilia Cheung was part of the scandal. Google her.

He he very good.

Cue Yi-long with a big and at least two paragraphs rant about how shit Weinstein is. He won't be able to resist himself. Fancy a Gentlemen's wager Eva?

Remove the spaces and it will connect together when you post. Agreed it is annoying their is no "Make URL" button.

Didnt they schedule to release Tai Chi master and Fist of Legend end of 2007? They made that 'promise' about a year ago.

End of 2007, My pessimism was once again proven justified.

Now they have it scheduled for a new date...
Like I have said before, I'll believe it when I have an uncut, subbed DVD in my hands. Untill then, my pessimism stays... :twisted:

BTW... by the time Fist of Legend and Tai Chi Master are finally released, I will have moved on to a HD tv and Blu-ray, so once again I'll just be fucked cause I'm sure it will once again take many years for them to release a proper HD release...

So dont expect my negative bitching to go anywhere...

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 28 Mar 2008, 01:17

And right on cue

I was right too, it's 5 paragraphs.

Also, I fear they will pull the same crap they did with Tom Yum Goong: Release the american version on the first disc and have the uncut version as an axtra on disc 2.

Yeah. I'm sceptical and pessimistic.

Aw, here it is. Like I said, about a year ago we had pretty much the same discussion, and my same pessimism, here on this board.

Gee... I wonder if this year things will be different...(!)

Yeah, you're real fantastic. I noticed that when I browsed through all the old posts about this subject, and your replies to my posts, how great your attitude is about this subject. It really makes me wonder why I dont like you more...

...ow wait...(!)

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 28 Mar 2008, 01:40

Lighten up Yi-long. It's all history as far as I'm concerned. Yi-long and Lourdes bitching about me, tis history.

Eva and I did say you wouldn't be able to resist though, and we were proven right

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 28 Mar 2008, 01:45

Eva didnt say that, you did.

Plus you're response, as ever, was predictable as ever, cause every time Fist of Legend/TaiChiMaster/DragonDynasty comes up, you are going to make a huge deal about my 'pessimism', which all these years have been justified btw.

Apparently, you are really obsessed about my opinion on this whole bullshit.

Kinda pathetic.

A huge deal would've been my usual responce where I'd have ranted at you. I've done none of that

. It's all friendly banter from my end.

I think it means that Eva thinks this movie will be released in a few months, and thus all my pessimism over the last few years was unjustified... which I disagree with, as it was very much justified, proven by the fact that we still dont have an uncut, english subbed DVD of FOL or Tai Chi Master. Nothing more.
