AT LAST!! i made a post several weeks ago,regaring an issue of KFM here in the UK ABOUT 1975.it was about GOD and had a pic of BL fighting a ''hulking figure''.well after all these yrs (and stumping GungFu)
i found the pic..BUT it appears ''HULK'' may be dan inasanto,as he has a stick,and bruce has wooden chucks (outside scene).but he seems really BIG compared to bruce,i know it's a foreground/background shot
but dan was'nt that much bigger.anyway as you cant see his face,we can assume it's dan..me i'll stick with ''hulk''.
anyway it confirms i was'nt dreaming all these years
what's the betting loads will reply saying ''oh that pic'' seen it many times

Those FoF knock off heads come from the same place, thats why you generally see the BL3.5/2.5 (with 3.5 ankles) being bundled with a host of FoF palms and one of the heads (or both) on ebay in large quantities. The Factory sells these to recoup the money Enterbay owed them (as per what I heard long back in discussions in various forums)

Oh! I know that pic, you got it wrong mate, thats not from any Game of Death shooting. Thats a picture from one of Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute's picnics... and what they are holding are cutlery

thanks for putting the record straight AXE on the bodies anyway LOL.where's the napkins though

The scene you see is a result of that actually. Dan thought it was Bruce bringing them, and Bruce thought it was Dan. In the picture you can see them getting ready to decide whose fault it is, just like the two perfectly mature adults they are.

They didnt make Bulma NOT because of the factory, but because their Dragonball Evolution figures were an epic fail in terms of sales.
The sculpt and paint and blah blah on the figures were great, but the license was the problem in itself. You can still buy some of the figures on EB's site let alone various other online retailers as MRP.

Honestly if you see it that way, its ONLY the Bruce Lee line along with Jet Li, Mr. Bean and maybe Jack Bauer of 24 which really sold out and fast...

Whatever, I only wanted Bulma, Emmy Rossum is hot!

If 'Dan' was more in the foreground then surely the shadows wouldn't be in line with each other. We may never know the true origin of the pic but it is interesting nonetheless. If Bruce were standing we'd know the true size of the other guy.

Hello Chris,

I am sorry to tell you that the person in the picture you are referring to it is in fact Dan Inosanto with Bruce - taken up in the beautiful area of Sai Kung in the New Territories with majestic mountains in the background. I have seen quite a few photos in which you see it more clearly that it is Dan Inosanto. In other pictures you can also see Bruce wearing a suit fighting with Hong Kong stunt men, plus even a few really rare shots of Unicorn Chan in the pictures. Plus Wu Nga (his house boy and family friend) +++ But no mysterious “Hulk” guy in those mate... Sorry...

Notice that it is the same outfit, shoes and head band, plus the Pilipino Kali sticks as Dan's character in "Game of Death"....

 

[axecutioner18]

I told you it was a Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute picnic
Thanks for the better pics of the excursion Gung, Im just saddened to see two grown men being so aggressive about passing the blame between each other... Dan specifically seems more intent, Guilty conscience I guess...

thank you gungfu..those pics make it much clearer..not too bothered about it being dan just happy after all these years i was right about the pic (blame KFM for the hulking quote)as BL was new in them days, perhaps dan wasnt known by name in the article.and it was an early GOD scoop..dan does look so much bigger in that pic though

 

[GungFu]

No problem mate. I am glad you finally found that picture so we could sort it out once and for all, and I hope that I have put your mind at ease now

It is just a matter of bad camera angle I guess...

 

[mrchris]

yeh i'll blame the camera..like i said it was early days back then,and dan does seem very imposing hence the hulking figure expression i guess.but sorted now

 

[axecutioner18]

Any body have pictures of a Nice Big Boss bash... Its just that I dont like reusing sculpts on display so Im looking to see how different I can expect existing sculpts to look for the Big Boss with different hair styles...

 

[Lawrence]

You don't want to go with the Kato head sculpt & FoF hair piece?

 

[axecutioner18]

Kato's face is too puffy for Big Boss... Actually I wish there were some decent clear front to front combos of these three:

1. FoF Angry + Messy hair on BB clothes

2. FoF Calm + Messy Hair on BB clothes

3. Kato + FoF Messy Hair on BB Clothes...

Now that I finally have all the GOOD Arnie Sculpts, and one character from each of his films... the void from The Big Boss is bothering me a lot

Kato + FoF Messy Hair on BB Clothes

Didn't you see Ahgnus post his pic of this? That's why I mentioned it. Maybe the best BB bash I've seen.

Hmm, it was on the RM-X body right? yeah Its pretty decent, but the cheecks and jawline are too angular IMO, the jawline has to be more sqaurish... if it would have been, it would be perfect

Nice one Gung, that just leaves the great mystery surrounding the exact circumstances of his death, something I doubt we'll ever know...

He looks about 12 in this pic!

 

[Lawrence]

Per GungFu's request..."BIG BOSS"
Kato headsculpt w/ FOF angry face hair piece & EB RM-X body. I think this showcases the versatility and superiority of Kato HS once again.

A reminder of Ahgnus's post

He looks about 12 in this pic!

It does make him look rather young.
