Hello All,

Anyone notice "THE OWL VS. DUMBO & A PEICE OF THE ACTION" is the same film. Which one was made first?

[tigerstyles]

which region is Peice of the Action released?

and i think its called Bumbo.. maybe a spelling mistake when they released it..

[Knetan]

hey,

spelling or avoiding the rights issue.

yep i recently purchased this and notice certain things about the movie.. like the scene where that kinda ugly teenage girl was mentally attacking michelle yeoh...and some of the other scenes as well, it kinda made me not like that movie because of that. The scenes were identical, although it was a ok movie...it just lacked the action we all love to an extent. But when i see movies that rip off other movies it ruins it for me... like another example if any of have watch the video game based Dead or Alive movie one of the scenes where these two females fight outside in this sorta muddy type swamp area. That scene was directed like Hero to the Jet Li and Donnie Yen fight.

Piece of the Action was made first by the way.

Many years age (VHS tapes) this film was called The Owl vs. Dumbo.

I've never had a chance to see The Owl vs Bumbo, is it worth owning?

Was A Piece of the Action the film were Bill Cosby and Sidney Poitier hypnotize boxer Jimmy Walker into thinking he's unbeatable or am I thinking of Uptown Saturday Night? Whichever film that was it was funny as hell.

[WongFury]

i think that one was called "lets do it again"

[Chinatown Kid]

Oh Yeah, thanks WongFury. I'm thinking maybe it was a sequel to A Piece of the Action but it's been a long time since I seen it. Cosby and Poitier had good chemistry together and made some funny films.

Yeah, it WAS called "Owl vs. Dumbo" at one point.
Disney wasn't having it apparently.
