She’s the one with the bunny ears. Looks like no Mordecai though, or his cool bird. Between that and Eli Roth this is going to be trash.

YOLOsubmarine posted:Digitally recreating Carrie Fisher or Mark Hammill isn’t the same as creating them from whole cloth. We already know how people react to invented characters because cartoons have existed for like a century. They already digitally recreated Ewan McGregor and it was a popular cartoon but did not actually lead to Ewan McGregor being replaced with the cartoon version of Ewan McGregor in all future movies. I’m kind of excited about new Peter Cushing/ Christopher Lee team-up exploitation horror now that Lucasfilm probably has digital models of both of them.

When I was a kid, there was talk of digitally resurrecting Bruce Lee for a new film, I think it was just after the success of Dragon. It was, rightfully, shot down, but it was only a matter of time.Detective No. 27 posted:Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo... the video game??? What a weird coincidence. The other day Youtube suggested a video compilation of all the footage of the cancelled 'Taxi Driver' game from a few years back. It was a period where a bunch of terrible video game adaptations were in development, including Heat, Reservoir Dogs (that one actually came out) Dirty Harry and a few others. I like that it hasn't quite gone away.

YOLOsubmarine posted:Part of what makes Hollywood stars stars is that they are people outside of movies. People tune in to watch them on late night shows and follow them on Instagram. They get more attached to the person that any particular character. Will Smith or Tom Cruise or Jennifer Lawrence never completely disappear into their roles...you’re always aware that you’re watching a specific person with specific quirks and traits that you’ve seen over and over in many different movies. That’s part of their appeal. Weebs are already forging parasocial relationships with entirely fictitious anime characters on twitch. I could see less cringey versions of that making the jump to the mainstream in 10 years or so.

After Bruce died, there were plenty of Bruce-sploitation movies in China and HK where they cast lookalikes of him in some Asylum-level movies. Now they can do it in digital! Speaking of games, The Godfather had two games by EA. The first was an action/stealth game where you play a character who exists just outisde the narrative of the movie. One of the missions was decapitating the horse. The second one was also partly a management game, like a SimMafia.

I’m kinda surprised there hasn’t been a fan-made deepfake to properly finish Game of Death. And speaking of grossly done recreations of dead actors, the actual released version of Game of Death is a masterclass in bad taste.

AVGN made a video about Game of Death several years ago. The actual movie that ended up getting released used badly superimposed still frames of Lee’s face, and footage of his funeral, alongside what had already been shot. Pretty ghoulish.

Yeah, it’s disgusting. There’s also a whole new subplot tacked on about the actual Lee’s character faking his own death and requiring facial reconstruction after an assassination attempt, all to explain away the lookalike/stand-in’s appearance in the new scenes.

The American Brucesploitation movie No Retreat, No Surrender has a scene with Bruce Lee's real grave in it, which is definitely gross.

If weebs can be avid followers of the “career” of an anime girl in a shark hoodie who plays old NES games then as soon as the tech is good enough celebrity followers are going to follow the “careers” of deepfake actors who will have scripted “real” lives outside of being “actors” in movies. Reality TV already proved it.

The MSJ posted:After Bruce died, there were plenty of Bruce-sploitation movies in China and HK where they cast lookalikes of him in some Asylum-level movies. Now they can do it in digital! This became almost an entire industry and there are plenty of films with fake Bruces, both from film companies overseas or American distributors dubbing random films to be Bruce Lee films. Actors had their billing changed to names like Bruce Le, Bruce Li, Bruce Lai, and Dragon Lee. Even Jackie Chan did a Bruce Lee "sequel". Some of the best (as in most gonzo) ones are: Bruce Lee in New Guinea - Bruce Li here plays a guy who goes to Snake Worship Island and gets caught up in sorcerers and pretty ladies and martial art fights. And lots and lots of snakes! There is a princess with a kung fu gorilla body guard who gets knocked up by Bruce so later he must save the baby from a snake curse. There are two versions of this film, I first saw it on vhs which was uncut and full of naked women, but the version that was in all the cheap DVD sets had alternate scenes where everyone was wearing clothes like some sort of prudes. Some of the dvd releases have those scenes as special features but they are obviously sourced from a VHS tape, I don't know if the original naughty version still exists. The Clones of Bruce Lee - Who wants one Bruce Lee when you can have three! Bruce Lee died so they clones him in triplicate and are sending the clones on secret missions. Who cares if the clones look nothing like Bruce Lee or each other? Of course they fight each other for fun too. There are gold painted baddies and lots of naked women. This film I had 4 different versions of between cheap DVDs and an uncut VHS version with burnt in subs, but some fools when and remastered it so now it will live forever. Bruce Lee Fights Back From the Grave - This was a Korean martial arts film that American distributors added a scene in the beginning where lightning strikes a grave and Bruce Lee leaps out! The rest of the film has nothing to do with that. The Dragon Lives Again - Bruce Lee is dead and in Hell, where he meets Popeye, the One Armed Swordsman, and the guy from the Kung Fu tv show. Together, they team up to take down a gang in Hell that is made up of James Bond, Clint Eastwood (in Man with No Name guise), Emmauelle, Dracula, and The Godfather. Later Bruce then beats up the King of Hell because he's Bruce Lee and that's what he can do.

The actual movie that ended up getting released used badly superimposed still frames of Lee’s face, and footage of his funeral, alongside what had already been shot. Pretty ghoulish. World cinema has more examples of this as well. Mitr Chaibancha was THE star of 1960s Thailand, he and Petchara Chaowarat were box office gold to the point where there were rumors they were kidnapped off of movie shoots to make other movies. Mitr Chaibancha was on the cusp of becoming a pan-Asia star with his Red Eagle series of movies, films about a masked hero who fights criminals. The fifth film in the series he directed himself, it was called Insee Thong (Golden Eagle) and it featured way higher production values and action sequences. Another guy was dressing up as Red Eagle and being bad, so Red Eagle became...Golden Eagle, and beat everyone up! Everything was going swell, Chaibancha just had to film the final stunt of the movie, where his character rides off into the sunset hanging from a helicopter. Except he slipped and fell to his death. Rumors say that there are prints that show him actually falling to his death at the end of the movie, but it is not on the versions I or other Thai pulp cinema fans have seen. What the DVDs do feature is funeral footage of Chaibancha's funeral, including them lifting his body so he can see out the window at the thousands of mourning fans outside. As an aside, thanks to Thailand cinema not having synch sound at this time, there was also an industry of people who would take scenes from Mitr Chaibancha and Petchara Chaowarat films and recut them together to make new films. Thai cinema sound was provided by actors who voiced the characters at the theaters, which was why this was easy to get away with. Some of the voice actors gained fame of their own (much like playback singers in Indian cinema would become famous and occasionally be more famous than the actors whose singing voices they provided) Due to this practice and Thai cinema being terrible at preserving their own movies (due to many factors such as the climate, no money, and a bunch of coups), no one is sure just how many movies Chaibancha and Chaowarat made together. Only three of the original Red Eagle films survive (and one has an obvious missing section), while snippits of one more is in the Thai Film Archive but I've not been there to try to see it.

Of course he knocks up a great ape. To imply that Bruce Lee had been firing blanks would be a sign of weakness, and you just don't disrespect the dead like that.

I think my "favorite" movie with Bruce Lee in the title that is unrelated to him is the 2006 IFD (yes, the Godfrey Ho production company was still around at this point, somehow) film Bruce Lee Hero the Great. Released in some places as just Hero the Great but it got the Bruce Lee added on in the US. It's extra funny because Dragon Shek is in it who has definitely played Bruce Lee-esque folks in other roles but that's just barely evoked in the movie itself for a few seconds. Gordon Liu and Carter Wong are in it too O_o I believe it's free on either Prime or Tubi but it's pretty crappy if I'm being honest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiJbE_aA6bI
