Golden Movie News magazine (Golden Harvest based!)

[falkor]

I don't have access to many issues, and I'm not sure when the magazine ceased publication post-78, so this is just a basic framework for future research (all types of Kung magazines are good for working out rough movie dates). There is several unknowns, and I know Markgway has done a lot of research into GH, so hopefully he will be able to help out with IDs. The format is the same: we are only interested in martial arts content here, so comedies like MY WACKY WACKY WORLD have been left out. Bruce Lee/Game Of Death is also not included in the listings.

Holy Moley G! Haven't you heard of this thing called "sleep"??
Obviously not, because you must be working on the 'KFF Contributor of the Year' award!

:D :D :D

Never gotten into the GH mags but this an amazzzing start.
Again, you have my most sincere respect for your willingness to share such info.

[Markgway]

July 74:

POUS KENG KANG 2 (A Cambodian/Khmer/Thailand co-production)

[Markgway]

Falkor -- next time can you post the unknowns seperately? I wasn't always sure which ones were unknowns. Partly due to several titles featuring more than once.

APR 75

1. THE BLUE LAMP IN WINTER LIGHT (Taiwan)
2. LAND OF THE UNDAUNTED (Taiwan)

[Markgway]

May 75:

HONG KONG SUPERMAN (Taiwan)

Sep 75:

1. THE DOUBLE CROSSERS
2. NO END OF SURPRISES
3. ENJOY LONGEVITY - 300 YEARS

Dec 75:

ENJOY LONGEVITY - 300 YEARS

Mar 76:

THE DOUBLE CROSSERS

Apr 76:

THE PHANTOM MADAM PEACH BLOSSOM (Taiwan)

JUN 76:

THE PHANTOM MADAM PEACH BLOSSOM (Taiwan)

JUL 76:

THE PHANTOM MADAM PEACH BLOSSOM (Taiwan)


That's all I could identify.

[odioustrident]

The Mar. 1976 Samo shot (at least the largest one) appears to be from Double Crossers.

That unknown judy lee is Crazy Acrobat

[falkor]

Cheers for all your help, guys! Only 2 unknowns remain; here they are in all their 6 megapixel glory:

http://www.rarekungfumovies.com/gmn/2.jpg

Don't thank me, teako! Thank my Sony digital camera and buy me a new 13 megapixel upgrade!
Obviously not, because you must be working on the 'KFF Contributor of the Year' award!
I already claim to have this title, but look forward to passing the baton to you once you are ready to showcase your magazines re: LHM, via the completion of proper slow scans!

[Markgway]

That unknown judy lee is Crazy Acrobat

Ah, I had that title short listed but wasn't sure so didn't post it. I knew the stars were Chia Ling and Barry Chan, but the Chinese title didn't seem to match, which put me off. Anyways, good spot...

[Markgway]

James Tien - Naked Comes the Huntress

[falkor]

No wonder Jackie Chan wasn't popular before SITES; his films under Lo Wei Motion Picture Co don't seem to be advertised much in magazines.

[mshengxiaolong]

Those photos bring back so many memories.

[BORNINHK]

The last picture contains Ha Yu who has become a very popular TV(B) series actor.

[The Dragon]

Awesome...

Thanks for sharing.

[mpm74]

Yes, thanks again for posting. =) Great stuff.

Nora Miao. :P

[Wolcott]

How great is that "Marvelous Snake" painting? Thanks for sharing!
