It Took years to be a master.
It only take hours to learn how to shoot.

Is Gordan Liu a real kungfu master? His kicks doesnt look like he has any training at all.

lately i’ve been catching up on 60-70s sword saga movies by wutang collection on youtube. taiwanese productions kept returning to steam and sulphur spewing mountain as the backdrop and hongkie ones kept going back to northeast of new territories where reservoirs and wild cows were. occasionally can hear plane flying overhead while two white haired grandmasters fight.

Another classic that I watch time and again. One of the rare moments Carter Wong playing the baddie.

Wat about more modern kung fu movies?

Good to see cantos taking the lead on this. Hope canto kung fu movies will go back to the good ol days of having the manchus as enemies. But replacing the enemies with mandarin speaking ah tiongs.

 

[Hypocrite-The]

The more modern kung fu movies are just as good as the old ones.

Channel 8 used to broadcast these old kungfu movies on Saturday nights.. I never really appreciated how culturally significant these movies were until I learned that they had a loyal following among a generation of black youth in 80s New York. In fact, the super rap collective Wu Tang Clan was inspired by these old dubbed movies and combined Chinese martial arts movie philosophy with ghetto politics.



The other fact that surprised me was how popular old Stephen chow movies were in Lebanon - and those were his early 90s movies dubbed in Arabic
