  • Bamcinématek Presents a Brand New 40Th Anniversary Restoration of Robert Clouse’S Enter the Dragon, Starring Bruce Lee, in a Week-Long Run, Aug 30—Sep 5
    BAMcinématek presents a brand new 40th anniversary restoration of Robert Clouse’s Enter the Dragon, starring Bruce Lee, in a week-long run, Aug 30—Sep 5 Series sidebar features five wing chun classics including Sammo Hung’s The Prodigal Son, Chang Cheh’s Invincible Shaolin, and Bruce Lee’s The Way of the Dragon, beginning Aug 29 “Bruce Lee was the Fred Astaire of martial arts.”—Pauline Kael, The New Yorker The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Brooklyn, NY/Aug 7, 2013—From Friday, August 30 through Thursday, September 5, BAMcinématek presents a week-long run of Robert Clouse’s Enter the Dragon, screening in a new DCP restoration for its 40th anniversary. In conjunction with the release of Wong Kar-wai’s Ip Man biopic The Grandmaster, this series revels in the lightning-fast moves of the revered kung fu tradition known as wing chun, featuring a five-film sidebar of martial arts rarities. Passed on through generations of martial artists, wing chun was popularized by icons like Sammo Hung and Ip’s movie-star disciple Bruce Lee—and has become an action movie mainstay. The first Chinese martial arts movie to be produced by a major Hollywood studio, Clouse’s Enter the Dragon features Bruce Lee in his final role before his untimely death (just six days before the film’s theatrical release). Shaolin master Mr. Lee (Lee) is recruited to infiltrate the island of sinister crime lord Mr. Han by going undercover as a competitor in a kung fu tournament.

  • Donnie Yen's Kung Fu Persona in Hypermedia
    Studies in Media and Communication Vol. 4, No. 2; December 2016 ISSN 2325-8071 E-ISSN 2325-808X Published by Redfame Publishing URL: http://smc.redfame.com Remediating the Star Body: Donnie Yen’s Kung Fu Persona in Hypermedia Dorothy Wai-sim Lau1 113/F, Hong Kong Baptist University Shek Mun Campus, 8 On Muk Street, Shek Mun, Shatin, Hong Kong Correspondence: Dorothy Wai-sim Lau, 13/F, Hong Kong Baptist University Shek Mun Campus, 8 On Muk Street, Shek Mun, Shatin, Hong Kong. Received: September 18, 2016 Accepted: October 7, 2016 Online Published: October 24, 2016 doi:10.11114/smc.v4i2.1943 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11114/smc.v4i2.1943 Abstract Latest decades have witnessed the proliferation of digital media in Hong Kong action-based genre films, elevating the graphical display of screen action to new levels. While digital effects are tools to assist the action performance of non-kung fu actors, Dragon Tiger Gate (2006), a comic-turned movie, becomes a case-in-point that it applies digitality to Yen, a celebrated kung fu star who is famed by his genuine martial dexterity. In the framework of remediation, this essay will explore how the digital media intervene of the star construction of Donnie Yen. As Dragon Tiger Gate reveals, technological effects work to refashion and repurpose Yen’s persona by combining digital effects and the kung fu body. While the narrative of pain and injury reveals the attempt of visual immediacy, the hybridized bodily representation evokes awareness more to the act of representing kung fu than to the kung fu itself.

Ti (Stephen Chow) is a poor father who works all day, everyday at a construction site to make sure his son Dicky Chow (Xu Jian) can attend an elite private school. Despite his father’s good intentions to give his son the opportunities he never had, Dicky, with his dirty and tattered clothes and none of the “cool” toys stands out from his schoolmates like a sore thumb. Ti can’t afford to buy Dicky any expensive toys and goes to the best place he knows to get new stuff for Dicky – the junk yard! While out “shopping” for a new toy for his son, Ti finds a mysterious orb and brings it home for Dicky to play with. To his surprise and disbelief, the orb reveals itself to Dicky as a bizarre “pet” with extraordinary powers. Armed with his “CJ7” Dicky seizes this chance to overcome his poor background and shabby clothes and impress his fellow schoolmates for the first time in his life.

  • Hong Kong Filmmakers Search: Sammo Hung
    Sammo HUNG 洪金寶(b. 1952.1.7) Director, Actor, Martial Arts Choreographer, Executive Producer A native of Ningbo, Zhejiang, Hung was born in Hong Kong. His grandfather, Hung Chung-ho was a director in the 1930s and 40s. Hung enrolled in Yu Zhanyuan’s Hong Kong-China Opera Institute to study Peking opera before he was ten. He was the captain of the school’s performing troupe ‘Seven Little Fortunes’. Under the screen name Chu Yuen-lung, Hung appeared in Education of Love (1961) and The Seven Little Valiant Fighters (1962). He began working as a stuntman in the late 1960s, and served as the martial arts choreographer for Shaw Brothers (Hong Kong) Ltd’s The Golden Sword (1969). After Golden Harvest (HK) Limited was established, Hung took part in Lo Wei, Huang Feng and Chung Chang-hwa’s features as both a martial arts choreographer and actor. He was also the martial arts choreographer of King Hu’s The Valiant Ones (1975). In 1977, he made his directorial debut The Iron-Fisted Monk for Golden Harvest. Its box-office catapulted Hung to stardom. In addition to his comedic genius, he won over audiences with his remarkable, fluid action despite his bulk size. The box-office success was followed by a series of action comedies, including Warriors Two (1978), Knockabout (1979) and The Prodigal Son (1981), all directed and played by Hung himself. In 1978, Hung set up Gar Bo Films with Karl Maka and Lau Kar-wing and produced features such as Dirty Tiger, Crazy Frog! (1978). In 1979, he founded Bo Ho Films Company Limited, a satellite company of Golden Harvest.

  • LAM Ching-Ying 林正英(1952.12.27–1997.11.8)
    LAM Ching-ying 林正英(1952.12.27–1997.11.8) Actor Born Lam Kan-bo, Lam was a native of Shanghai. Due to poverty, he could not afford formal schooling and had to drop out in Primary two. His parents later enrolled him to Fen Ju Hua’s Spring and Autumn Drama School in Hong Kong. He spent five years in the school, during which John Lone, Austin Wai and Stephen Tung Wai were also studying there. At 17, he began to work as a stuntman in films, doubling for many actresses including Cheng Pei-pei. Two years later, he tried his hand at action choreography. His impressive performance in Golden Harvest’s The Big Boss (1971) won Bruce Lee’s favour. Thereafter he would assist in the martial arts choreography of many of Bruce Lee films. After Sammo Hung directed his first film The Iron-Fisted Monk (1977), Lam joined the Hung’s Troupe and began to play supporting roles in his movies while also working as martial arts choreographer. Examples include Encounter of the Spooky Kind (1980), The Dead and the Deadly (1982) and Winners & Sinners (1983). He first won popular acclaim with his cross-dressing part of an opera diva in The Prodigal Son (1981). His later turn as a Taoist priest in Mr. Vampire (1985) finally put his name on the map. He went on to play the role as the vampire slayer in the ensuing sequels, which would turn him into an icon of the Hong Kong vampire film. Later, funded by Golden Harvest, Lam co-founded Diagonal Pictures Limited with Chua Lam and Nam Nai-choi.

  • The Prodigal Son Full Movie Free Download
    The Prodigal Son 1 / 4 2 / 4 Yuen biao è l'uomo. Penso che sia uno dei migliori attori di Hong Kong sia che si tratti di arti marziali o no, è semplicemente ridicolo che non sia mai stato nominato nella categoria dei migliori attori ai premi di Hong Kong. Ho visto questo film circa 30 volte adesso. È uno dei pochi film di kung-fu che posso guardare dall'inizio alla fine, come di solito vado direttamente ai combattimenti. Il kung-fu è brillante, molto veloce, molto realistico e molto preciso. Il combattimento finale è puro genio, veloce e furioso. Anche la lotta tra Frankie Chan e Lam Ching Ying è geniale, e le sequenze di allenamento ... questo film è semplicemente perfetto. Fotocamera brillante, editing fluido e ottima musica. Altre persone dovrebbero vedere questo film per vedere il genio puro di Sammo Hung, di Yuen Biao e del brillante Lam Ching Ying. Non ha tante lotte come gli altri vecchi film di kung-fu, ma credimi. 10/10 La maggior parte dei film di kung-fu non hanno storie e grandi scene di lotta o scene di lotta orribile e una storia solida. Non capita spesso di imbattersi in uno che ha una grande storia e alcune delle migliori scene di combattimento mai realizzate. The Prodigal Son è uno dei migliori film di Sammo Hung. L'uso di Wing Chun da parte di Lam Ching Ying è eccezionale. Ricorda molto i video di allenamento di Bruce Lee. Questo film presenta Wing Chun nella sua vera forma, diretta e in faccia.

  • Martial Arts, Acting and Kung Fu Hero in Change
    EnterText 6.1 SABRINA YU Can a Wuxia Star Act? Martial Arts, Acting, and Critical Responses to Jet Li’s Once Upon A Time In China Introduction It has been commonplace in western critical discourse to state that action stars can’t act. This seems particularly true when it comes to trans-bordering Chinese action stars like Jet Li. Criticism of his acting skills in his English-language films can be easily picked up from the press: Without the fight scenes, though, this film (Romeo Must Die) would be a bust… ‘Jet is our special effect,’ says Silver, summing up his star’s appeal neatly.1 Li’s martial arts skills are as brilliant as his acting skills aren’t.2 The action is fun and ultra-violent, the story is satisfactorily ridiculous and the acting is non-existent.3 “Good martial artist with limited acting ability” seems to represent a popular view of Chinese martial arts stars and indeed this is how they are often used in Hollywood films. Nevertheless, such a view also reveals a deep-rooted bias, i.e. the martial arts star is someone who knows less about acting than s/he does about fighting. On the other hand, it reflects a dominant idea about film performance, by privileging facial Sabrina Yu: Can a Wuxia Star Act? 134 EnterText 6.1 expression/psychology over body movement/physicality. Can’t a martial arts star act? Are fighting and acting always two split, conflicting elements within a Chinese wuxia star’s performance? In this paper, I would like to re-examine this stereotypical western critical consensus in the light of the contrasting Hong Kong critical response to Jet Li’s Chinese work Once Upon A Time In China (Tsui Hark, Hong Kong, 1991) (OUATIC hereinafter).
