THE YOUNG DRAGONS
(1973/75)
Woo: The original version was kind of kung fu film, but with a sentimental story. It was a low-budget film, and the cast had some good actors but no big names.
John Woo's directorial debut was an independently produced
martial arts movie. It was made in 1973 under the original name Farewell My
Buddy. Unfortunately it was banned for being too violent. But people
at Golden Harvest, Raymond Chow one of them, saw the film and liked it. Golden
Harvest bought it, re-edited, rescored and released it couple years later in
1975. Golden harvest also offered Woo a three year contract. According to
International Film Guide 1999 original Woo's version was released in Taiwan in
April 1974 as Guoke yu shuang yan (Farewell My Buddy).
