@nb45001 He's there sitting in front of the lady with the blue dress time @00:34 and there he is starring at Dean and the Chinese girl talk, just behind them at @1:35 . And there he is again @3:45 and so on looking at Dean then later fighting him. That's Chuck!! cool.
I thought Way of the Dragon was the first movie where Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris worked together, but it looks like they worked together before in this movie, with Bruce choreographing the action and Chuck playing a henchman who gets beat up by Dean Martin... although we all know Chuck Norris would easily KO everyone there in real life... besides Bruce Lee of course.
You know, considering that this is the 1960's, the fight scene isn't bad at all. Most of the time, martial arts in '60's spy capers was usually a chop to the side of the shoulder. But these guys are throwing jump side kicks and even a spinning wheel kick (that misses Dino) to the head. For the 1960's...that's not bad at all. I think I'll go ahead and buy this flick!
@profwaffel I sort of knew it, .but I forgot! (Read about it years ago. Saw pics of him showing Ms.Tate how to throw kicks.) Also, after slowing down the dvd during the fight at the restaurant, it also looks like Bruce might have doubled for Dino. (Confirmation anyone?) "Dean Martin" throws a high and very clean hook kick to one of the bad guy's heads and it looks suspiciously like Bruce Lee did it. Also trying to spot Chuck Norris and Joe Lewis in some of the fights.
@sabinoson Mike Stone doubled for Dean in this movie. Mike was the first Longbeach Internationals karate champ (won in '64 & '65), considered one of the best karate competitors in the USA during the sixties. He was a friend/student/workout partner of Bruce Lee's, Bruce got him the job on Wrecking Crew. Mike Stone would later gain some notoriety as the karate instructor who "stole" Priscilla away from Elvis.
@sterreco - this is her 'best' comedic acting role so to speak....twelve plus one she was strained and Over the top in her acting sometimes............Valley of the dolls in general was laughable.
Oh I love this film . The best Matt Helm film and Sharon's greatest performance. I have seen this film so many times and never get tired of it. It epitomizes the late sixties to a tee. I would love to get in a time machine and live in the sixties for a year or so.
VOTD was her worst, in my opinion. The Wrecking Crew is AWESOME. Pity she was finding her niche in comedy with her last 2 roles and then we lost her. Is it true they were planning on bringing her back for another Helm? I remember reading that somewhere.
Yes, it's true. There was a planned movie entitled THE RAVAGERS. Dean Martin really enjoyed working with Sharon. He expressed the thought that it would be fantastic to have Sharon return for the next movie.
However, the serial killings of early August 1969 would alter the plan. Dean Martin lost interest after that point. THE RAVAGERS was quietly put on the shelf.
A further thought. Nigel is so outstanding and ANGLAISE, Surely he would have been ideal for Steed, in the Avengers??? instead of that wooden puppet McNee.
