I posted this up at kungfucinema a while ago, no idea what this one is. It appears to be Chiang Sheng and maybe Lu Feng. Do you think that this is them?

I heard Lu Feng was in Robert Tai's Fists of Legend II: Iron Bodyguards. Has anyone seen him in that film for comparison to his age here? That movie was 1996.

Strange - Lu Feng almost looks like he's on a back lot with stunt pads in the background.

Wow great observations guys. It definitely makes sense that this is a clip for some documentary film or show. These pictures are from the back of Wu Tang Collection VHS for Sandman/ The Marvelous Kung Fu. I know the Wu Tang label also owns Fist of Legend II, a Robert Tai film starring Joh Haau-Foo; Lu Feng is listed in the credits. Does anyone know the deal with this film? The clip of youtube looks like a typical late Robert Tai movie a la Death Cage.

This topic prompted me to break out this Fists of Legends 2 dvd. Lu Feng is in it, but he looks like this:

I think he definitely looks older in this pic than on the back of that cover. FOL2 has a copyright of 1996, which I assume is the new footage.

I guess another question is what to do with this movie in general? Right now its listed as an re-edit alias on Return of the Assassin (1973), which is the movie that the original footage comes from. However, all these new scenes have to have a place, and you can't really add those cast members to Return of the Assassin. Should we add "Fists of Legends 2: Iron Bodyguards" as a new movie, simply treating the 1996 footage as a full movie and giving credit to the original film as well?
