So this is the movie that Lazenby left the Bond franchise foe in order to star alongside Lee then events took a tragic turn for the worst effectively flushing his career down the toilet forcing him to fall back on prune farming in the outback?
@CarsOfGaia Actually, Lazenby left the Bond films to do "Universal Soldier" (the 1971 film) because his agent was an idiot and thought the Bond franchise was about to die out, and the film he was going to do with Bruce Lee was actually "Game of Death," where he would have played a villain similar to this film, but that's about as much relation the two have to each other.
@Hayabusa449-Well that's not what i heard.Apparently Lee and Lazenby were in discussion over which role the ex-Bond actor would play in a Lee produced effort called the "Traveling Flute".
Lazenby even went so far as to have his eyebrows altered for Screen testing at Golden Harvest studios,in an attempt to see if he could pull off a look that would be acceptable to audiences in mainland China.
@Hayabusa449-Lee was desperate to find big name Western actors so that he could have a dominant screen presence over after his "co-starring" role with Saxon in "Enter the Dragon". as home audiences were not so keen on his character in that film say as compared to the strong Chinese role he emanated in "Fist of Fury".
