BRUCE LEE: WALK OF THE DRAGON

Posted on by

We have enough Bruce Lee fans who check in here that I wanted to give a heads-up that Darby Pop has a Bruce Lee comic coming out in March.  Bruce Lee: Walk of the Dragon is a one-shot.  Here’s how it is described…

BRUCE LEE WALK OF THE DRAGON ONE SHOT
(W) Shannon Lee, Jeff Kline, Nicole Dubuc (A) Brandon McKinney, Zac Atkinson (CA) John Haun
Philosopher/teacher/real-life superhero Bruce Lee is back. And, let’s be honest, the world needs him now more than ever. Taking a brief respite from battling an otherworldly evil, Bruce Lee attempts to navigate modern-day Southern California despite still suffering from amnesia and having been “out of the loop” for over 45 years. Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a simple “lunch run” soon turns into a comedy of errors involving mistaken identity, a Film Festival,” and the pokey. And despite never being one to initiate fisticuffs, Bruce continues to find it difficult to both hide his martial arts skills – and keep his shirt on.

How “Gonna Fly Now” Made It Into “Rocky”

Rocky’s theme, Gonna Fly Now by Bill Conti, Carol Connors and Ayn Robbins is arguably one of the greatest movie songs of all-time.  Over 40 years later, Gonna Fly Now is still instantly recognizable by folks of all ages, is used at sporting events of all kinds and remains a popular (and inspirational) workout song.

Surprisingly, another song was set to be Rocky’s Theme!  (One of the lyrics: “He has a Sunday punch that will knock you in to Monday!”)

Check out the short video below to learn how Gonna Fly Now made into into Rocky and film/music history.

Jon Bernthal Talks “Shot Caller”, “The Walking Dead”, “Sicario” and More!

If, like me, you’re a Jon Bernthal fan, you’ll enjoy Jack Shepard’s Jon Bernthal Interview for Independent.  Bernthal talks about The Walking Dead, The Punisher, and more.  I’ll leave you with this quote from Bernthal…

I definitely don’t make choices based on becoming a leading man. I just want to work with the best people.

That, my friends, is the definition of an actor.
