James Yi Lui ...Here's what I know about Yi Lei. James Yi Lui was born in 1943, he joined Shaw Brothers at age 17 as an actor. He directed the comedy Gee and Jor (1978), in which he also starred and executive produced. In 1979, he served as the guarantor for a friend’s business and served time in jail due to unpaid debts. After his release in April, 1980, he continued to work in the film industry. Over his career as an actor, he appeared in nearly 100 films. His last film was the comedy EXCUSE ME, PLEASE! (1989), also starring Richard Ng. After this he left the film industry to focus on business ventures. He passed away in 1999 due to heart disease at the age of 56. <br /><br />His is here filmography http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=2752&display_set=engUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05085590675194396966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-90749049795687733532010-09-26T02:29:32.875-07:002010-09-26T02:29:32.875-07:00whaaaaa? really?

I got a spread in another magazine with Hwang dressed in that attire training, or fighting with Wong Yu. None of the article is translated, but the movie was never finished.<br /><br />I'm itching to post another one as I got a bunch more scans I did that I planned to add with this one, but I was so damn tired, I left this one like it was. I'm planning a Halloween edition and a Fu Sheng edition as well.<br /><br />Speaking of KILLER CONSTABLE, I'd love to get a hold of the Korean version of that as it's drastically different, at least the ending is.venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-24045383292120615402010-09-25T19:32:45.612-07:002010-09-25T19:32:45.612-07:00WAAAH-HAI!

Yi Lei looked vaguely familiar, only I couldn't figure where I'd seen him and could find nothing about him outside of magazines. Most likely it was the trailer, then.venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-79764052822240932302010-09-25T07:21:00.500-07:002010-09-25T07:21:00.500-07:00"BLACK SPELL" is HEX VS WITCHCRAFT in wh..."BLACK SPELL" is HEX VS WITCHCRAFT in which James Yi (or Yi Lei)stars. In one scene, he appears as depicted in the magazine article. I have seen this comic actor in the slasher/comedy THE RED PANTHER(1983)in which he was excellent, but HEX VS WITCHRAFT is inferior to the original HEX.© Deliriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01748639362169097145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-85449022678137132472010-09-24T10:16:31.814-07:002010-09-24T10:16:31.814-07:00@ Fran: In that pic, Cheh is working on SHATTER be...@ Fran: In that pic, Cheh is working on SHATTER before Hellman was fired, although I think it's been confused that he worked on GOLDEN VAMPIRES after the film was finished.<br /><br />Baker himself has stated they wanted to replace him, but never did. No evidence has ever surfaced that Cheh directed any action scenes for the film, although he's clearly shown there on the set of SHATTER. Also, his memoirs make no mention of assisting on either film and that book covers everything he had a hand in.<br /><br />I happen to love the GOLDEN VAMPIRES movie. I think I have some images in one of those magazines somewhere with shots not in the movie.venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-41664021251784028672010-09-24T10:13:20.062-07:002010-09-24T10:13:20.062-07:00@ Fang: DiabolikDVD has a bunch of them but they s...@ Fang: DiabolikDVD has a bunch of them but they seem to be selling fast.

I liked that idea that Dracula was disguised as a Chinese Monk type of dude! Plus, it also hid the fact that Christopher Lee wasnt playing Dracula on that one. <br /><br />I liked the zombie army that Dracula brings to life, they were eerie looking. <br /><br />But my favorite part was how they merged Kung Fu into the story, with the brothers looking for Van Helsing to help them destroy Dracula. Awesome movie, which I will defenetly be re-watching for this coming Halloween season, which by the way will prove to be a special month over at The Film Connoisseur!Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-10589623274420392122010-09-24T07:09:08.475-07:002010-09-24T07:09:08.475-07:00Another marvelous grab-bag of Shaw publicity mater...Another marvelous <i>grab-bag</i> of Shaw publicity material, <b>venoms5</b>!<br /><br />Behind the scenes of <b>Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires</b> with <b>Shih Szu</b>?
