Wanted: I am in exactly the same position as Makone, in that I too have the seven officially released Lee childhood movies.

Can anyone help me to find the some of the others?

I know 'The Orphan' has been broadcast on both HK and Chinese TV, but I do not know if anyone recorded these off-air.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Is someone willing to trade these Bruce Lee films? I didn't even know they were available.

myriad home, darling girl and the thunderstorm

my list can be found on this forum

I have one of Bruce Lee's pre- kung fu films that I don't know the title for. The first shot in the film is of a woman sick in bed. She has an older woman standing beside the bed and holding her hand, while talking to (I think) a servant. Can anyone tell me which one this is? It doesn't have English subs either. :o

I know one of you guys that's an even bigger BL fanatic than I am must be able to answer the above question. :o

The film you have not listed is either 'A Myriad Of Homes', or 'Thunderstorm' (I can't recall off the top of my head which one begins with this exact scene), but in 'Thunderstorm' Bruce is about 17, and plays a Love struck Romeo, so that should hopefully pin down your movie for you.

Both 'The Kid' & 'My Son A-Chang' are the same movie.
The first is the US 'dubbed' version, the latter the Cantonese (English subtitled) version.

'In The Face of Demolition', 'A Guiding Light', and 'An Orphan's Tragedy' are all English subbed also.

I really enoyed 'The Kid/ My Son A-Chang'. All Bruce's trademarks are in there.
He not only acts in the same movie as his dad, but they even share the same scene at one point.
The pantomine villian (and Bruce's role model) is called 'Flying Blade Lee' and comes directly from the 'Big Boss', (as does the factory owner's son stealing from his father).

The Villian's side-kick (Four-eyes) is a tall and thin adult, and wears the same clothes as Kareem in 'Game Of Death' (even down to the Sunglasses) - so a young Bruce seeking revenge on this Bully - certainly has 'GOD' similarities and undertones.

It really is a cheap movie by any standards, and with the theme of good honest hard work being more honourable than gangsterism - layed on trowel thick - it is also a bit too sugery.

Nevertheless, it really is a must for any Lee collection, and will delightfully pass any afternoon. (Think Disney does the Triads!).

As Churchill once said, "Understand the boy, and you will know the man".

Hope this is in someway useful, and if you do not have the movie itself, it often appears in truncated form in cheap documentaries like "The Young Bruce Lee" or 'The Game of Death II' outakes.

Any other reviews?

What the hell are you talking about Nic? :o

I am new to the board - so I do not understand why anyone would call you this - or the history (if there is one) behind it.

I have sent you a PM re: 'The Orphan' and other early Bruce Lee movies, because it has been suggested that you 'may' be able to help.

If you can not help - I do not see how this would make you (or anyone else for that matter) a traitor, so I am sorry you have been insulted in this way.

[Chinatown Kid]

I have know idea what your talking about Nic but I have not called you a traitor about anything and I hope you can still consider me a friend.

[kowloon]

you are always a real friend for me.:angel:

[KUNG FU BOB]

Hi, several people have asked me what happened to Kowloon, who called him a traitor, and what's going on.

I DON'T KNOW.

Everything is cool with him and I. He told me he is done with the forum because of some negative stuff that happened. I've got some serious family stuff going on, so I didn't ask for details. I simply said "Maybe that's for the best if going there makes you feel bad." If he doesn't come back, I personally will miss the good humour and knowledge that he shared with us here. That's all I can say. :S

[Chinatown Kid]

you are always a real friend for me.:angel:

Thanks Nic and I feel the same way toward you. Sorry to hear about your trouble on the forum but I hope you won't let it get to you and will reconsider coming back. As Bob said we will miss you if you leave. :(

[kowloon]

I left the forum forever... I will write you and a few guys too on your email. take care nicola
