The Bride’s yellow outfit was inspired by the outfit worn by Bruce Lee in his final film, ‘Game of Death’, 1978.
(..) Robert Clouse, the director of Enter the Dragon, together with Golden Harvest, revived Lee’s unfinished film Game of Death. Lee had shot over 100 minutes of footage, including out-takes, for Game of Death before shooting was stopped to allow him to work on Enter the Dragon. In addition to Abdul-Jabbar, George Lazenby, Hapkido master Ji Han-Jae, and another of Lee’s students, Dan Inosanto, were also to appear in the film, which was to culminate in Lee’s character, Hai Tien (clad in the now-famous yellow track suit) taking on a series of different challengers on each floor as they make their way through a five-level pagoda. In a controversial move, Robert Clouse finished the film using a look-alike and archive footage of Lee from his other films with a new storyline and cast, which was released in 1978. However, the cobbled-together film contained only fifteen minutes of actual footage of Lee (he had printed many unsuccessful takes) while the rest had a Lee look-alike, Kim Tai Chung, and Yuen Biao as stunt double. The unused footage Lee had filmed was recovered 22 years later and included in the documentary Bruce Lee: A Warrior’s Journey.
How about a Throwback Thursday to one of my favorite cosplays I’ve done?
One Dress a Week Challenge
April: Black
Singin’ in the Rain / Judy Landon as Olga Mara
Olga is an eccentric, gothy Hollywood star probably modeled on Theda Bara. She wears this sparkly spiderweb dress to a red-carpet event. I don’t even know what’s up with that headdress, but it’s … quite something!
happy halloween week all my beautiful little pumpkins. I had this pierrot bodysuit/bunnysuit custom made for the occasion!
I treasure Halloween and take it very seriously, however this was the first year I had a costume custom designed and tailor made for my body- and I have to say I’ve truly never felt better.
Last year i created a pumpkin poncho that covered everything but my legs, this year I wore a skin tight, curve hugging garment. Talk about a Halloween glow up !
