The Category III video, or set of videos as it may turn out to be, is still in the works, but I felt like the audience wanted me to return to the world of martial arts on celluloid – and the poll I did on the community page proved it – so here we are!
David Chiang and Ti Lung, two of the biggest stars in the history of Shaw Brothers studio… I personally did not even know that their split was anything other than amicable, so digging into this story was a real eye opener for me. The stars of The Blood Brothers, The Deadly Duo, and so many other films that I didn’t even want to speculate on that number for this video. Seriously, way too many sources with different numbers!
This video marks something a little different for me. Focusing more on a story this time rather than breaking down every single film I can find, so, hopefully you guys like it!
Some other stuff:
Other sources used that I didn’t mention in the video include These Fists Break Bricks by Grady Hendrix, in fact I think that “why not Chinese Iron Fist” line that Wang Yu is supposed to have said might have come from that book. It’s a fantastic read, never the less.
I read a rumor on BilliBilli that not only was Ti Lung supportive of Chang Cheh in his final days, but he supposedly helped him during this period when no one else did? This was just one comment on a video that I couldn’t confirm, but I don’t want people to watch this video and think that Ti Lung is a bad person for any of this. Despite everything I dug up, we still really don’t know what happened with the nuts and bolts of this situation – but I feel I did my best! Hope you all enjoy it!
