Bruce Lee, the Man and the Legend (1973)

I found this documentary online over at tudou. What is the policy on casts from a documentary. The first 10 or so minutes is footage from the public ceremony, and a ton of stars turn up to pay their respects. I recognize a few like Carter Wong, Sammo Hung, Sek Kin, etc. Should they all be added to the cast?

thoughts?

I think they should be added. I don't believe this will cause a great upswing in "uncredited documentary appearances" flowing into the database as there aren't a lot of Hong Kong documentaries like this one that became features in their own right.

Doesn't seem right hearing that show narrated in Mandarin. I could swear I've got an old public domain disc around here somewhere with it in Cantonese.

I agree - sounds very strange. Does your Cantonese version have subtitles?

I'll start to add people to the cast...

Good question. I'm not even sure where it is at this point. It might be part of a multi-pack of PD stuff. I probably stuck each disc in for a few seconds just to make sure they worked (and to see what kind of quality I got for so little money, I'm sure :lol: ), but all I remember is the Cantonese, and not whether there even were subs or not. Must've been, but I'll have to dig to be sure!

The Opening theme music is from Hitchcock's "Vertigo"! :shock:
