ShawnHOST
uh speaking of movies we should probably head back to manhunter we will go off on our tangents um so man ended up spending three years working on this script which he is want to do he likes to spend his time getting everything perfect um and the film was originally going to be called red dragon just like the novel Mann actually calls the new title inferior, but said that producer Dino De Laurentiis made the change after the film Year of the Dragon, which was produced by De Laurentiis, bombed at the box office in 85.
ShawnHOST
Peterson has commented that another reason for the change was to avoid any suggestion that it might be a martial arts film.
ShawnHOST
Because at the time, Bruce Lee was knocking out, and this was a quote, sorry, quote, at the time, Bruce Lee was knocking out Dragon movies, and Dino, in his wisdom, decided people would think it was a kung fu movie, end quote.
David UllmanGUEST
But so, yeah, there's the Crow connection and all that.
David UllmanGUEST
But another movie that was filmed there, I believe, was Year of the Dragon, which I've never

Pete QuiñonesHOST
And what's funny is I just recorded with Jay Bird and we did a review of Michael Cimino's 1985 movie, The Year of the Dragon.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
Nice.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
Yeah.
JulesHOST
And finding, I found some articles where people are going through his filmography and going in depth on each one.
JulesHOST
And the one guy was talking about how after the failure of Heaven's Gate, he had moderate success with Year of the Dragon.
JulesHOST
And that like emboldened him more into his bullshit to make garbage shit after that.
JulesHOST
And I thought that was a fascinating thing, right? Because I don't like Year of the Dragon, but I think it has half of a pretty interesting story.
JulesHOST
And it's visually there's some cool stuff.
JulesHOST
Like the violence is exciting.
