Dragan
Czechic
It is unknown where Dragan Czechic was born. Rumour and local police
reports suggest that he spent much of his youth traveling through
Europe and Eurasia with his adopted family of Rosicrucians. Naturally
athletic, Czechic excelled in the circus and clowning arts throughout
his teenage years until he suffered four consecutive work-related
spinal injuries. A radical operation performed in secrecy found
Dragan Czechic with a wood-steel hybrid spinal cord. An unexpected
result of the operation left Czechic with alarmingly little flexibility
in his upper body but uncharted durability and tolerance for pain.
Northern
Europes version of Hollywood came calling and Czechic soon
developed into the hottest stuntman working outside of North America
and the union-system. With almost psychotic courage Czechic sealed
his name in the history books by allowing a 300 ft. steam engine
train to hit him at 80km/h. Sadly the footage never made it into
the final film, however, the Hong Kong based producers of the film
were so overwhelmed that Czechic actually survived the stunt (it
was suspected he would die) that they immediately put him under
contract. Dragan Czechic moved to Hong Kong where he continues to
live and work. A dedicated and full-time stuntman, Czechic also
breeds and slaughters goats, something that he says brings him closer
to his European roots.
Vince
Tuborg
Vince
Tuborg The Cyborg from Nyborg (Denmark) was born Rince
Stånk. The other kids picked on me because I was so
ugly, recalls Vince. They used to beat me all the time,
saying: Tuborg, Tuborg. The ugly one! Hell eat your
parents.
In
1996, Vince was arrested for illegal dumping and sentenced to three
years in a minimum-security prison and it was here that tragedy
struck. Vince had to undergo massive bio-mechanical reconstruction
to his lower abdomen after rats ate through his scrotum and pubic
bone while he was sleeping in his cell.
The
stress of the incident caused him complete hair loss, in only two
weeks. Thanks to drugs, Vinces hair eventually returned, but
he still wears a bald cap to commemorate that important time in
his life.
Emerging
from prison, he found work as an erotic performer in a series of
stark, violent, and realistic films about Danish prostitutes, directed
by his brother Strom Tuborg. He was later sold to Hong Kong businessmen,
by Strom, for helicopter fuel.
Vince
started performing with 7 Tiger Fighting Theatre in 2000!
Vince
encourages anyone interested in donating monies to the Tuborg Foundation
to Disallow Prison Inmates from Keeping Food in their Cells (TFDPIKFC)
to contact him at: coolcyborg18@skitfaced.com.
Sammy
Tang
Sammy
Tang (Trince Van Der Groot) was born and raised outside Salt Lake
City, Utah, and at a young age became fascinated with libraries.
His knack for organization saw him become the nation's youngest
library administrator, a job he cherished until his illiteracy became
evident and he was dismissed. Heartbroken that no one could recognize
his love of books despite his inability to read them, Sammy withdrew
from Mormon society with a vow of revenge. Sure enough, a few years
later, a string of library defacings was pinned on Sammy, who had
become surly, muscular and violent, and had recruited and organized
a vigilante violence squad that obeyed his every whim.
While
in prison, Sammy developed a passion for hair care. Unfortunately
his plans for hair salon ownership never amounted to anything more
than a string of shady business failures, and on a bet Sammy fled
his debts and went to theatre school in Beijing under an assumed
name.
China
suited Sammy well. He loved the culture, the theatre and the kicking.
Moving to Hong Kong, Sammy founded a film studio devoted to children's
horror puppetry. Although that venture failed, Tang soon founded
the Seven Tiger Fighting Theatre, an organization that combined
his love of violence and administration with a subtle yearning for
his motherland, America.
Polo
Mr. Polo
Steve
Bergeron (aka Polo Mr. Polo) was born in Carson City, Nevada, the
eldest of seven children. According to his parents Rick and Linda
Bergeron, Steve was obsessed with becoming famous from an early
age. A shotput standout in highschool, Steve received a track and
field scholarship to Summer Lake Technical College in Tunney, California,
where he majored in Hygiene Science.
Encouraged
by his family, Steve dropped out of college after only five weeks
to pursue a professional wrestling career. He became a mainstay
of the South-Western Mex-American Wrestling Association (SoWeMAW),
breaking into the league as Freshie Hotpants, and later winning
the Regional Championship under the name Baron Lord Dominik.
At
the height of fame on the SoWeMAW circuit, Steve broke his contract
and relocated to Los Angeles, eager to fulfill his dream of movie
stardom. Advised by his new agent, Steve shed eighty pounds from
his wrestler's frame and changed his name to Paul "Paulie"
Paolo. He was quickly typecast as a cartoonish mob goon, landing
minor roles in kiddie fare like Pinballmania!, Beach Summer,
and Rock 'n' Pinball. Despite limited success as an actor,
Steve was convinced that his big break would come.
Under
advisement from his agent, Paulie developed his unique exercise
techniques and, with his own money, produced an infomercial for
his first workout video: Paulie Paolo's BERGERONICS for Beginners.
The regimen bucked many workout trends. Bergeronics combines dance-aerobics,
stunt tumbling, and Samoan grappling maneuvers. The tape sold very
poorly.
Paulie
Paolo was out of money and out of work. For $10,000, he sold the
rights to Bergeronics for Beginners to Shikoki-Corp, a Seoul-based
distributor. Under Shikoki-Corpís direction, the tape sold
over one hundred thousand units in Korea within three months. Before
long, Shikoki-Corp offered Paulie a contract to promote the tape
at exercise-equipment exhibitions throughout Asia. He accepted
The
first stop on his pan-Asian promotional tour was Hong Kong. Unbeknownst
to Paulie, his Bergeronics video had been repackaged for the Asian
market as Famous American Muscular Improvement by Polo Mr. Polo.
Paulie embraced his new name and his newfound fame. While still
in Hong Kong, Polo was approached by Sammy Tang, who offered him
an audition with Seven Tiger Fighting Theatre. In a bid to capitalize
on increased exposure, Shikoki-Corp agreed to suspend his tradeshow
contract and allow him to join the Seven Tiger troupe as Polo Mr.
Polo. Famous American Muscular Improvement by Polo Mr. Polo
has since sold over eight million copies in Asia.
"ICE"
Ice
is notoriously secretive, and little is known about her origins,
other than her place of birth: Helsinki. However, she burst into
Asians' hearts and minds in the mid-nineties with a string of pop
hits, such as "Walking Tightwalk," "Hot Steaming
for Lover," "You are Beyond (untranslatable)" and
"Slip-Snip-Strip." The famous, wealthy and beloved songstress
fell into disrepute, however, after she married a street vagrant,
moved into a shanty near the new Hong Kong Airport and then married
yet another vagrant. Rumours of her insanity spread madly and she
was publicly shunned. Witnesses emerged who claimed to have seen
her robbing banks and trains throughout Europe and Africa. Some
claimed she was willing host to a malicious virus.
Eventually
this hubub died down and Ice was forgotten. So when she appeared
as a member of Seven Tiger Fighting Theatre during a surprise public
performance of Highlander 2, panic ensued. This soon became
mere hysteria, and both Ice and Seven Tiger have benefitted greatly
from the exposure.
She
now lives at home with her seven cats and vagrants.
