Fearless

[GeneChing]

Plum Publications is run by an old martial bro of mine, Ted Mancuso. I have great respect for Ted and what he has done with Plum, but I have issues with anyone who uses other people's material and fails to cite them. Having had my stuff plaguerized so many times, I always do my best to provide good citations. In all fairness to Ted, however, I'm assuming that the broken link for mizong books once led to the book from which this mizong research was extracted. That would have made the perfect informercial and if it helped sell the book, I could certainly see it as justifiable.

You'll have to see my mizong piece in our next issue (Sep Oct 2006). It covers the material presented on that site above, with the appropriate citations. Mizong history is tricky, so it's even more important to leave citation tracks, lest they get lost...

Wondering who has seen teh movie Legend of a Fighter, aka Secret Master. Judge Pen says Fearless was like watching a prequel to fist of legend. While the action in Fist of Legend is great, I could never rank it as one of my favorite movies.

Legend of a Fighter on the other hand hit me like a giant ball of chi thrown by Sonny Chiba's character in the Storm Riders.

Just wondering all you people that have seen both Legend of a Fighter and Fearless:
will I at all be dissapointed if I sit on my fatass and wait for this to come to theaters?

First off -- great interview Gene.

I was wondering if anyone knew the details about the footage that Ronny Yu cut. From what I read, he chopped off almost 40 minutes and took out all of Michelle Yeoh's scenes. Will there ever be an uncut version available, or will that footage likely be lost since the director himself made the cuts (as opposed to when American film companies do their own editing)? Being a huge Michelle Yeoh fan, I obviously was looking forward to seeing her, plus the scenes she was in seemed, from what I understand anyways -- while perhaps not absolutely necessary, were at least very integral to setting up and framing the story. Ronny claimed that the scenes interfered with the pacing, and since it's his movie, that's his decision to make, but hopefully us die-hard fans will be able to see the full version eventually (a guy can hope right?)

[GeneChing]

Nobody is talking about the cut footage. The studio is rather hush-hush about it all. I'm hoping it'll be on the DVD, since that seems to be the way of things nowadays. So keeping hoping. I'm hoping too...

I thought the fights in Fearless were better then Jet's usual, only a little bit of wire work. Much closer to the fights in Kiss of the Dragon. What really surprised me about the movie was actually being sucked into the story, something I'm really not used to for any type of movie with good fights. When he redeems himself, and the final fight against the japanese guy who felt exactly the same way about the world as Jet's character made me care alot more when he bit it.


Overall, waaaaay more watchable story wise then Protector.
