Bobby Kim is a tough as nails loved up secruity van driver, who get's double crossed by his workmate(Park Dong-Yong) in....

 

 

 

 

Thanks to @rdenn, for uploading this clip from the movie. This print might look a little soft, but it's better than the heavily scratched up version I watched.

That's great. Never thought I would see this on blu ray let alone 4K UHD.

Flying side kick by Grandmaster Bobby Kim, 1974.  Holding the cement blocks for this demonstration is Grandmaster Jin S. Yang.  In 2013 the U.S. Congress honored Grandmaster Kim for his achievements as a business leader, film star, and Taekwondo master.  Grandmaster Yang's long and distinguished Taekwondo career has included serving as Secretary General of the World Taekwondo Federation and as Chairman of the WTF Academy.

A trimming from a Korean magazine covering the production of 'The Manchurian Avenger' while it was being filmed -

Will be watching his Indonesian film BLACK SKULL this weekend.  Bobby is very proud of it, so maybe they knew how to film him properly.

It's a shame the physical release of Manchurian Avenger never materialized from Facets for whatever reason. I know it's on iTunes but I want to own a physical copy for my collection.

Black Belt Angels (1994) - IMDb
Black Belt Angels (1994) Martial Arts, Action Movie | Shawna Larson,  Rebekah Bartlett | Subtitles - YouTube

Bobby also appeared in 1994's Black Belt Angels. I saw the film on Tubi and he has some fight scenes in the film as well. The film's stars were actual taekwondo black belts (Shawna Larson, Rebekah Bartlett, and Nicole Burks) along with Hara Ho Kempo karate black belt Ka'imi Kuoha. Ka'imi's dad Sam (who in the film resembles a bit like Simon Rhee) was one of the film's main villains, who is seen here getting a roundhouse from Bobby and who also served as one of the film's fight directors.

The ever energetic Casanova Wong recently interviewed Bobby Kim on his YouTube channel while he was visiting Korea. No English subs unfortunately, but always good to see these guys together along with Hwang Jang Lee -

Doing some production work for an upcoming documentary and currently scanning pics from Bobby's personal photo albums.  Here's a little preview, a behind the scenes shot from KILL LINE.  Enjoy!

If it's no secret, what's the docu about and when can we expect it?

It's about action movie actors that looked like Charles Bronson. There were more than you'd guess, including one in Chile who looked more like Charles Bronson than Charlie himself!  The Bobby Kim segment will be a worthy testament of his legacy. Bronsonploitation, basically, but I think the director is going with the "Bronsploitation" title. I have no idea when this will be finished, because we are digging deep.  Maybe before the end of the year.  You can follow the Instagram page for announcements.  https://www.instagram.com/bronsploitation/

You now have one more follower on IG. I'll be sure to add Bronsploitation to my coming soon list, sounds like something I must watch. Good luck with the project!
