  • The Wrecking Crew’
    © Copyright 2012 Walt Missingham ‘THE WRECKING CREW’ The Forgotten Bruce Lee Movie Written by Walt Missingham The Wrecking Crew, released in 1969 and starring Dean Martin, Elke Sommer, Nancy Kwan and Sharon Tate is the fourth and final film in a series of American comedy-spy-fi theatrical releases featuring Martin as secret agent Matt Helm. As with the previous three Helm spy movies (The Silencers, Murderers' Row, and The Ambushers), it is based only loosely upon Donald Hamilton's 1960 novel of the same title and takes great liberties with the plot and characters, being developed as a spoof of the James Bond films. The Wrecking Crew was the second Helm novel published and the earliest of the books to be adapted. This was the last film of Tate's to be released before her murder at the hands of Charles Manson's followers on August 9, 1969. © Copyright 2012 Walt Missingham Bruce Lee coaching Nancy Kwan and Sharon Tate Not known by many is that the film featured a virtual who’s who of American martial arts royalty with Chuck Norris, Joe Lewis, Ed Parker and Bruce Lee all appearing in the film. Bruce Lee was engaged as the martial arts choreographer for the film and insisted on bringing in as many top martial arts exponents as he could. © Copyright 2012 Walt Missingham Joe Lewis squares off against Dean Martin As the film progressed it became obvious to Dean Martin as well as Producer Irving Allen and Director Phil Karlson that Lee’s skills and the martial arts in general should and would be an integral part of the next Mat Helm movie ‘The Ravagers’ Chuck Norris with Elke Summers and Dean Martin © Copyright 2012 Walt Missingham Bruce Lee was choreographer for the fight scenes but also doubled for Dean Martin in all the fights.

  • Das Es Sich Bei Die Another Day Um Einen James Bond-Film Handelt, Erkennt Man Schon Am Titel
    Ein Bond ist nicht genug Zum 20. mal kehrte James Bond mit Die Another Day im November in die Kinos zurück. Seinen ersten Leinwand-Auftritt hatte der britische Nobelagent vor 40 Jahren. Anlass genug, um auf die Ursprünge des erfolgreichsten Filmfranchises der Kinogeschichte zurückzublicken. ROBERT BLANCHET Dass es sich bei Die Another Day um den neuesten James-Bond-Film handelt, erkennt man schon am Titel: Leben und Tod, Luxus, Eros und Unendlichkeit - mindestens eines dieser Elemente kommt in fast allen Bondfilmtiteln vor. Gut gewählt ist er aber auch deshalb, weil er perfekt zum Jubiläum passt, das das älteste Filmfranchise des Gegenwartskinos vor kurzem feierte: Seit 40 Jahren steht 007 im Geheimdienst Ihrer Majestät; 50 Jahre wenn man die Bücher mit dazurechnet – und tatsächlich ist die Zeit für den Agenten mit der Lizenz zum Töten wohl noch lange nicht gekommen. Seit Pierce Brosnan 1995 die Walther PPK von Timothy Dalton übernommen hat, spielen Bondsequels wieder fast doppelt so viel ein wie in den für das Spion-Genre eher mageren Achtzigerjahren. Mit Blockbusterserien wie Mission: Impossible (Paramount), XXX (Columbia TriStar), und Austin Powers (Warner Bros./New Line) hat mittlerweile fast jedes der Hollywoodstudios sein eigenes Bondderivat im Programm. Und wenn Madonna nach Austin Powers dieses Jahr endlich auch den echten Bond mit einem Titelsong beehrt, ist dies nur konsequent, wenn man bedenkt, wie viel die zeitgenössische Popkultur dem Retrochic der 20 offiziellen Bondfilme und ihren Soundtracks schuldet. Begonnen hat alles 1952 in Goldeneye, dem jamaikanischen Winterrefugium von Ian Flemming. Umgeben von Palmen, illustren Gästen und dem zunehmend frostigeren politischen Klima des Kalten Krieges schuf der Journalist und Bonvivant hier eine Romanfigur, die wohl vieles von dem verkörperte, was er sich für sein eigenes Leben erträumte.

  • Historical Backgrounder
    HISTORICAL BACKGROUNDER Nestled in the canyons of Los Angeles, Hotel Bel-Air has been a hideaway for world travelers for well over half a century. A visionary significant in the development of the area, Alphonso E. Bell created Bel-Air Estates in 1922. Bell acquired over 600 acres west of the city of Los Angeles, naming his new purchase “Bel-Air.” Determined that the estates would become an exclusive and upscale neighborhood, he enhanced the surrounding area with new roads, utilities, a country club and lush, exotic vegetation. What is now Hotel Bel-Air’s main mission-style building was originally built as Bell’s estate planning and sales offices. These offices were located next to the Bel-Air Stables where residents could board their horses and enjoy the miles of equestrian trails winding throughout the canyons. For the next few decades Bell’s dream flourished. In 1946 Joseph Drown, a hotel entrepreneur from Texas, purchased 18 acres, and the land offices, and began plans to create an elegant pastoral hotel hideaway encompassing most of the land. Drown immediately hired architect Burton Schutt to convert the buildings and construct the 62 rooms of what was to become Hotel Bel-Air. Drown transformed the grounds into lush, beautiful gardens, adding Swan Lake to the picturesque front lawn. He had a vision of creating a natural California oasis, planting palms, ficus trees and perennial blooms. Drown also closed the Stone Canyon stables and built the sparkling oval-shaped pool at the site of the original riding ring. The hotel opened on August 24, 1946.

  • Fifty Years of Bond, James Bond: the Greatest Film Franchise’S Biggest Birthday | Vanity Fair
    6/4/2017 Fifty Years of Bond, James Bond: The Greatest Film Franchise’s Biggest Birthday | Vanity Fair The Birth of Bond Fifty years ago, at the dawn of the commercial-jet age, James Bond strode into movie history, to show audiences how stylish and thrilling life could be. But creating the cinematic Bond was fraught with peril, as best-selling author Ian Fleming discovered when he first tried to take his hero to the screen. David Kamp recalls the unlikely team—two small-time producers, a journeyman director, and a “rough diamond” of a star—behind 007’s film debut, Dr. No, the beginning of a $5 billion franchise. BY DAVID KAMP | OCTOBER 2012 BOND. JAMES BOND. Right, Sean Connery on the set of Dr. No, 1962.

Her return glance leaves no doubt—the feeling is mutual. His slouch and casual banter exude languor and nonchalance, but there’s an undercurrent of coiled menace to this man, as though E he might, at any moment, spring into table­overturning, crockery­shattering action. Except nothing of the sort happens. Instead, the other fellow in the scene cuts the tension by taking out his fiddle and favoring the room with a jaunty tune learned, he says in a stagy brogue, “in the old ruins on the top of Knocknasheega!” http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2012/10/fifty­years­of­james­bond 1/14 6/4/2017 Fifty Years of Bond, James Bond: The Greatest Film Franchise’s Biggest Birthday | Vanity Fair This isn’t a James Bond picture.

It argues that the biopic is a necessary category because producers, reviewers and cinemagoers have significant investments in biographical subjects, and because biopics construct a ‘public history’ for a broad audience.

In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Michael Ahmed, M.A., B.A. PhD University of East Anglia Faculty of Film and Television Studies January 2013 Abstract The American exploitation film functioned as an alternative to mainstream Hollywood cinema, and served as a way of introducing to audiences shocking, controversial themes, as well as narratives that major American studios were reluctant to explore. Whereas American exploitation cinema developed in parallel to mainstream Hollywood, exploitation cinema in Britain has no such historical equivalent. Furthermore, the definition of exploitation, in terms of the British industry, is currently used to describe (according to the Encyclopedia of British Film) either poor quality sex comedies from the 1970s, a handful of horror films, or as a loosely fixed generic description dependent upon prevailing critical or academic orthodoxies. However, exploitation was a term used by the British industry in the 1960s to describe a wide-ranging and eclectic variety of films – these films included, ―kitchen-sink dramas‖, comedies, musicals, westerns, as well as many films from Continental Europe and Scandinavia. Therefore, the current description of an exploitation film in Britain has changed a great deal from its original meaning.

  • 'A Thoroughly English Movie Franchise' Spectre, the James Bond Films, And
    ‘A thoroughly English movie franchise’ Spectre, the James Bond films, and Genre JAMES CHAPMAN The James Bond films are genre films par excellence: they demonstrate both the industrial processes of popular film-making and the narrative patterns of repeti- tion and variation that underpin the idea of genre in popular cinema. Indeed the Bond films are such a uni ue and distinctive brand in their o!n right that the term "Bondian# has been coined to describe both the professional discourses of the film-makers on the one hand and the style and content of the films on the other. $s Janet %oolacott noted after observing the making of The Spy Who Loved Me '()**+ for an ,pen -niversity case study of media production: ".Bondian/ !as the phrase used by 01ubby2 Broccoli and other members of the production team to mean .in the spirit of James Bond/...To a certain extent the term .Bondian’ !as used to describe the Bond films, !hich !ere seen as a distinctive formula, a spe- cific genre of film# '()45, 6(7+. The emergence of ne! approaches to genre studies !hich extend beyond the reductive structuralism of the ()*7s and !hich understand film genres and cycles in relation to their !ider industrial and cultural contexts has seen the Bond films find their place on the agenda of academic film studies. This is amply demonstrated over the last decade or so by the gro!th of Bond scholarship that has seen the films analysed from a range of critical and theoretical perspectives, James Chapman is Professor of Film Studies at the Uni- versity of Leicester.
