Gary Daniels has NOT died (possible prank) ?

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 23 Mar 2008, 14:15

I never start threads on this forum, but had to for this. I am gutted, The worst thing was he was finally getting his BIG Hollywood break as Bryan Fury in the upcomming Tekken film! which they have been filming for a while now, guess that films stuffed now.

I will have to re-watch some of his films and listen to his great Fist of the North Star commentary again

That's very sad. I don't think I've seen any of his films, but his contribution to the HKL Full Contact commentary made it one of my faves.

He was cool in City Hunter.

Has it been confirmed yet?
Some people are saying this might just be a sick joke.

If its a joke, the people who spread it need a beating.

But hey so many semi famous people have died latley, I kind of think its true. Its not as if he is going to get headlines on the news, he is not famous enough sadly.

The net will sort it out hopefully, soon.

Its a joke. Some guys abused wikipedia again, so it had also been on the Kung Fu Cinema forum a few days orso ago, but one of the guys there had just spoke with the guy or emailed or whatever, and it's not true...

Thought so.
Never trust the internetz!

EDIT:
I know I'm not supposed to do that, but I've added "(possible prank)" to the thread title.
I believe we need to avoid spreading false rumours.

It is but it's still packed full of shit and lies, often perpetrated by the Wikimedia Foundation itself.

How do you know, and why would they do that?

Lourdes · Post by **Lourdes** » 23 Mar 2008, 19:50

So you're asking,
Why would any person or organisation want to make use of a high profile site that anybody can edit to improve their pages, mess with the pages of others and cause mischief?
&
Why would the organisation and its members that has complete control over everything use it for their own agenda?

Not a clue mate, not a clue.

I am not even sure if you are joking or not?

As lourdes says its a mess.

The crap people change is massive for kicks or just to slag someone off they do not like. I have changed things to see what happened, and it took weeks for someone to correct them obvious lies.

The polotics especially of it is hilarious, the lies people make up every day to slag off the oposition is pathetic. I have seen people post edited fake porno images of famous people, for kicks, or evil slander which is hateful beyond words esspecially any scumbag who has an agenda of hate to spin, like so many scummy groups have.

The sites the biggest joke on the entire net. It needs shutting down.

Anyone who uses it as a fact based site, is insane or really dumb beyond words.

Well it really depends, I'm not sure you'll find slender in this site laserdisc page for example... I do agree they should ban people from changing things if they are not members of the site.

Yeah, I clearly use Wikipedia for different things than other members on here; I don't go looking up celebrities on it lol :S

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 24 Mar 2008, 15:21

As for GD in Tekken, a lot of the cast had been done and dusted, I had read it started filming, but have not seen any images or footage yet. But if GD has passed on and he was in the film, well it easily would have been his first big film that would have got him seen by millions.

Its not just celebrities , its facts about anything.

Schools should not be using it for example, as stuff is changed all the time for kicks. Any subject you can think of can be changed and is. Take anything they say as fact, and you deserve everything that comes to you.

White scum nazis go on there and change lots, same goes for anything on the site. Its an easy way just to get your points across when no one wants to hear them anywhere else. It could be a physics page on cells and hair, or a food based piece, change it to suit you. Esspecially if you think lots of people look at that exact page. As you can write anything you want and people think its all fact based as many people still have no idea that the sites not and never will be even close to fact based.

Do a google about it and you will find out how stupid the site really is, many people go on and change stuff and advertise they have done it, so someone can come along and change it again to beat them.

Yup big things are obviously coming Gary Daniel's way! Just look at the cast of Dead or Alive - biggest stars in Hollywood now!

I'd like to see more of Holly Valance...

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 26 Mar 2008, 17:32

Holly Vallance is pretty damn hot in Dead or Alive it has to be said, and not bad at on screen fighting, very suprised that she looks so good in action and does not resort to crap stunt doubles.

Dead or Alive is not exactly a good example top pick, as The Weinstiens burried the film and did not want it released (as they do with a film or two a year). Even if you hate the film, no films should be burried and hidden away with no release practically worldwide (its not even that bad, its quite a fun film, exactly what it tries to be).

It will not make Gary D a Big star, but it would have gotton him more people seeing a film he has made than all the other films he has made in his entire life put together. As Tekken is at least gonna get a few million people seeing it even if its shite

its got to be better than the Hong Kong crapfest version of Tekken, Avenging Fist.

Still no idea if he died or not, it does look to be bollocks! why someone would start such a bullshit rumor, well the idiot who spread it to begin with needs their head smashing in I think.

Shingster · Post by **Shingster** » 26 Mar 2008, 22:13

There's no chance the death rumours are true, it'd be all over action fansites by now. He's not exactly an A-lister, but he is just about well known enough for his death to make some sort of splash.

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 27 Mar 2008, 11:26

@Romero:
In this case, can you change the thread title to something like "Gary Daniels has died (NOT)" or something similar?

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 27 Mar 2008, 17:24

Yup was going to after a week

Seems it is indeed bull poo, it went around the net quickly, first time I have been taken in by such crap like this!

Still its got Gary some notice anyway
