I turned to my girlfriend at the time and said вЂњThatвЂ™s it.

ThereвЂ™s a little bit of irony because I sat in the Golden Harvest Chinatown theatre watching the prequel to Operation Condor which is Armour of God, and that was the night I made the decision. Literally two years later, I made the decision to pack up and move to Hong Kong. Some people said вЂњHey, Westerners are catching on.вЂќ Cynthia Rothrock had just done Yes Madam so westerners playing strong supporting roles or bad guy roles was kind of catching on. (We) stopped in Hong Kong, did an appearance on a variety show, Enjoy Yourself Tonight.

In 1986, I was part of the National Wushu Team that went to China for an international competition. I was in a martial arts school in Chinatown and I was probably the only white kid going down to the Chinatown theatre every weekend. How did a Canadian come to enter the Hong Kong Film Industry of the 1980s?Д«ruce Lee sparked my martial arts interest, but Jackie Chan sparked my interest in Hong Kong films. Minutes within getting him on the phone, he opens up with such an overflowing treasure trove of stories and insight that IвЂ™ve had to split this interview into two parts! Without further ado, letвЂ™s begin: IвЂ™ve sought out Bruce who has since relocated to Vancouver where heвЂ™s transferred his hard-won expertise to our own film industry. The film went on to be an international hit and a fan favourite, and is now celebrating the 30 th anniversary of its initial theatrical release this month. So when JackieвЂ™s globe-trotting sequel to Armour of God announced production, Bruce was among the first picks to play one of the many obstacles between Jackie and a cache of hidden gold in the African desert.

Having featured in the Jackie Chan-produced Inspector Wears Skirts II, Bruce quickly became acquainted with the Jackie Chan stunt team, among the best in the business. His timing was excellent as western faces were beginning to feature more prominently (mostly as villains) in a Hong Kong film industry that sought do gain an even larger slice of the international cinema pie with its various brands of blistering action thrillers and comedies Oddly enough, it was a screening of that filmвЂ™s predecessor Armour of God at the old Golden Harvest theatre in Vancouver (now the Imperial) that had convinced Bruce to move to Hong Kong two years prior.

This henchman is вЂњAdolph Guard #4вЂќ according to the script and is played by Bruce Fontaine, a transplant from Vancouver who has joined just about every other non-asian stunt pro in Hong Kong (collectively known as вЂњWesternersвЂќ) to shoot what would turn out to be one of Jackie ChanвЂ™s largest and most expensive productions, Armour of God II: Operation Condor.

Jackie denies any knowledge of the items, but heвЂ™s barely gotten the word out when he is attacked from screen left by another henchman who reigns down a series of brutal blows that leave Jackie gasping for breath. вЂњWhere is the map and the key?вЂќ snarls a henchman as he corners Jackie Chan at gunpoint in a Moroccan hotel room (actually a set in Hong Kong).
