DUEL FOR GOLD was begun by director Lo Wei but Chu Yuan took over, and it became his first movie for Shaw Brothers - as Lo Wei left them for Raymond Chow and his founding of Golden Harvest company. Many actors went along, prominently long-time Shaw leading actor Chang Yi, as well as supporting actors and extras like Samo Hung. So in the material shot by Lo Wei - for sure at least the beginning of the movie - there was Chang Yi starring, but later, with Chu Yuan directing, he was substituted by Chen Chun. One can also discover, before Chen Chun entering the scene in the new material, James Tien (in the Lo Wei footage that could be used) as an extra in the background but suddenly he is not there anymore in the entourage. James Tien, by the time an actor with extra or minor supporting roles at Shaws, of course was also one the actors that defected to Golden Harvest. |
