                                                  The Hong Kong Train Missed a Stop


Shaw Brothers & Golden Harvest cranked out movies fast. Thank goodness for the interest because

that's how Bruce Lee blossomed into Superstardom. He remarked, "My movies did more (got recognition)

then my books and classes combined."


The Hong Kong Movie Train featured Ron Van Cleef as The Black Dragon. They never discovered

the guy many thought was ready for prime time. His name was Victor Moore.  He was not friendly.

Most martial artists were not. The stoic demeanor was needed to project in matches.


Victor by co--incident met Bruce Lee and participated in Bruce's demo. in the U.S.. Victor was a

showman, and technician and deserved to be in the movies. His whirlwind moves and scene-stealing

antics made him one to watch at amateur tournaments. The Hong Kong Movie Train missed a

stop not discovering Shorei Stylist Victor Moore. Perhaps it did not see enough character...?
