  • Alternative Titles Index
    VHD Index - 02 9/29/04 4:43 PM Page 715 Alternative Titles Index While it's true that we couldn't include every Asian cult flick in this slim little vol- ume—heck, there's dozens being dug out of vaults and slapped onto video as you read this—the one you're looking for just might be in here under a title you didn't know about. Most of these films have been released under more than one title, and while we've done our best to use the one that's most likely to be familiar, that doesn't guarantee you aren't trying to find Crippled Avengers and don't know we've got it as The Return of the 5 Deadly Venoms. And so, we've gathered as many alternative titles as we can find, including their original language title(s), and arranged them in alphabetical order in this index to help you out. Remember, English language articles ("a", "an", "the") are ignored in the sort, but foreign articles are NOT ignored. Hey, my Japanese is a little rusty, and some languages just don't have articles.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] The fiction of public life Abstract One of Woody Allen's first jobs was as a gag/joke writer indirectly for New York gossip columnists. To coordinate with the appearance of famous people at grand openings, Allen would write appropriately witty lines that a star's press agent would work hard to get placed in a newspaper column like Walter Winchell's. The lines would be treated as authentic quotes as the star entered the premiere, club or ceremony (Lax 71). His reputation grew from this ability to see what would be humorous to say in a very public setting, or just generally what would make a particular star look more engaged, more intelligent or more alluring. The presence, at least according to the gossip columnist, was real; what the famous person said was a fiction.

  • Enter the Dragon Free
    FREE ENTER THE DRAGON PDF Theo Paphitis | 288 pages | 30 Apr 2009 | Orion Publishing Co | 9780752894225 | English | London, United Kingdom Bruce Lee: How His Film 'Enter the Dragon' Made History As IMDb celebrates its 30th birthday, we have six shows to get you ready for those pivotal years of your life Get some streaming picks. Enter the Dragon revolves around 3 main characters; Lee, a man recruited by an agency to investigate a tournament hosted by Han, since they believe he has an Enter the Dragon trade there. Roper and Williams are former army buddies since Vietnam and they enter the tournament due to different problems that they have. It's a deadly tournament they will enter on an island. Lee's job is to get the other 2 out of there alive. Written by Emphinix. As a child, one of my first and best friends was a strange boy who worshiped the ground Bruce Lee walked on - cutting Enter the Dragon hair, taking Jiu Jitsu and Hapkido lessons, and often stalking around with that Enter the Dragon animal fury that only Lee could create all over his 7 year old face. My friend took a lot of abuse for this and other odd behaviors with dignity that his hero would have applauded. Unfortunately, Mr. Lee passed from this world very young, leaving a legend and a pair of shoes that have never really been filled. For most Americans, this is the only Hollywood film worthy of mention with his name in the cast. Don't get me wrong, I love Jackie Chan and Jet Li and even the few Chow Yun Fat roles involving martial arts, but each of these actors have their own, very big, personalities, and - at least in the case of Chan - have built their own unique legend.

  • Hong Kong Filmmakers Search: Edward Tang
    Edward TANG 鄧景生(b. 1946.5.17) Screenwriter, Planning Producer A native of Zhongshan, Guangdong, Tang was born in Macao. He came to Hong Kong in 1963, and worked as a mariner, technician and salesman. He enrolled in the screenwriting course of Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB) in the 1970s, and was hired by the company as a screenwriter upon graduation. Later, he switched to work at Commercial Television, which closed down in 1978. Since then, he followed Lau Tin-chi and joined Golden Harvest (HK) Limited, penning The Magnificent Butcher (1979) and Wedding Bells, Wedding Belles (co-written by Joyce Chan, 1981), etc. A long-time working partner of Jackie Chan, Tang was the screenwriter and assistant director for The Young Master (1980), Dragon Lord (1982) and Project A (1983), all directed by Chan. In 1985, Chan’s production company, Authority Films Ltd. was restructured as Golden Way Films Ltd. The company produced many huge productions, which include Police Story (1985), Armour of God (1987), Project A II (1987), Police Story II (1988), Mr. Canton and Lady rose (aka Miracles, 1989), and Armour of God II – Operation Condor (1991), all coordinated and partially scripted by Tang. He also worked as the production coordinator for other directors’ projects, such as That Enchanting Night (1987), Rouge (1988), The Inspector Wears Skirts (1988) and its sequel (1989), Stage Door Johnny (1990) and The Shootout (1992). Tang has also penned lyrics for film songs; ‘Rouge’, the eponymous song to the film (composed by Michael Lai and sang by Anita Mui), has been one of his most crowd-pleasing pieces.
