I've read this on BBC news, such a shame. He was No Bruce Lee, but was a great larger than life character, who should of
had more and better roles than some of his later films.. long live Williams..

These are nowhere near as rare as the amazing stuff you guys have posted - but here's some Japanese B5 chirashi to add to the thread:

THE man is gone but not his spirit, art & legacy (and neither his image - scarce German first release set WOTD:)

Going OT but certainly worthy of this thread

Great stuff Tang! Love the LP cover -- it should be a poster! And the 'chucks are way cool.

By the way, no one over the latest acquisition thread seemed to care about this one, but maybe it will get more appreciation here. I *think* this is a Taiwanese poster, but I'm not positive. I love the art regardless -- better than the regular HK release I think.

Not quite true Harry, I did express my appreciation off forum, but as you say it does belong in here...

I do like me some Game of Death posters and pics, for years it just had so much mystery surrounding it ...The suit looked great too...

Very cool poster Matt.

Tang Lung in Rome · « **Reply #90 on:** August 20, 2013, 02:52:40 AM »

Very nice......no idea but it very well could be taiwanese.

Usually Singapore 1shs says "Singapore" and then the print co.

I can read some Chinese. If you send me a larger pic, I can probably figure out where it is from.
PM me if you want.

Thanks Armin. When I receive it I will... I have another mystery Fist of Fury I may want you to take a look at as well.

Funny how things get missed sometimes... Congrats!

Harry Caul · « **Reply #94 on:** August 20, 2013, 11:16:10 PM »

Can you tell anything about the origin of this one Armin? It measures 21 1/8" x 30 3/8" and it's on matte finish paper. I'm trying to figure out if it's a first release style B, a very early HK re-release, a Taiwanese poster, or possibly some other printing used in Chinese-speaking areas outside of HK. Any help would be appreciated. By the way, there is a similar style Big Boss poster floating around (shown below, but that I do not own) and both were from a lot of late 60s/early 70s posters so I'm pretty sure this was printed at or very close to the time of release... possibly at the Big Boss on this Fist of Fury were printed at the same time given their very similar style. Both use the original GH logo which was discontinued in 1973 with the release of ETD.

Thanks!

SIMILAR STYLED BIG BOSS

Unfortunately the information on the poster provides just the title, cast, crew and the company name (Golden Harvest). Nothing else.
There is no indication where the poster was printed or for which territory it was intended for.

Ok, thanks for taking a look at it. The mystery continues I guess...

Hey Matt, I'm almost sure that it was printed in Hongkong, as indicated by the printer's name under the Golden Harvest mark. It shows “印承司公限有廠刷印生維”, meaning "PRINTED BY WEI SANG PRINTING FACTORY LIMITED". It is a Hongkong-based company and I think the company still exists today. As for which version it is, it is hard to tell just yet. I will try to help looking around, maybe give the printer a call some time

Does the right bottom of the Big Boss show the same printer name?
