great, you guys do a CLF movie, and it actually has real CLF.
Donnie Yen does Ip man, and goes to extrememmeasures, studying Wing Chun just so it looks good.
Meanwhile, Jet Li and Jacky Chan have been portraying Wong Fei-Hung in how many films, and not a single one shows Hung-Ga!(not to mention the Chinese series)
When’s it gonna be OUR turn??:mad:
Rik,
Movies during the '70’s and '80’s were disproportionately filled with Hung Ga… things have a way of balancing out now.
Anyone remember CLF Kid? It was a great CLF movie!
yes…i put CLF kid in one of my CLF vids…

my sole hope for a movie is to have one about the Fut San Hung Sing branch done in the Yip Man movie style. that would be so awesome to me.
Ha! Ha!
Alexander Fu Sheng - Choy Lay Fut Siu Jee!
Takes me back to NYC Chinatown Music Palace! Sticky floors, (hopefully) cats crawling between your legs, Chinese snacks like dried cuttlefish and Haw flakes, little Juk Sing kids who didn’t speak Cantonese running up and down the aisles bored to death and annoying everyone in the theatre. Plus noisy Cantonese commentary.
nothing brings me back home like the smell of Dit Da Jow and incense…
Greetings,
At some point, I was anticipating Eric Roberts to show up and pop off some Best of The Best dialogue.
Otherwise, it looks good.

yeah, but never really good Hung-Ga (except when they would do the forms-especially when Lam Chun Fai would demo), just that movie style, with the paired stance hopping, or the silly snake hands…
(but I still watched them every week on channel five, or at the triple features on 42nd street, or at the Rosemary-which btw, had very clean floors, dried peas, cuttlefish, beef jerky and dou jeurng in those plastic bottles)

Hi TenTigers,
So you hit NYC Chinatown for movies as well. I never ate the theater food. I always went to Bamboo Garden and purchased 10 hamburger bao (sometimes, I went to the Peach Blossom Restaurant at Canal and Broadway and got some of their stuff takeout) and got orange juice from the tiny store diagonally around the corner of Music Palace. Those were beautiful times. Unfortunately, home video and bootleg videos killed the movie theaters.

PS: The Pope of Greenwich Village
looks pretty cool…but what a long trailer that must be like 20% of the movie 
hung kuen has been in the movies since the 40s…good or bad its another question,for sure i also saw some good stuff

I don’t know Rik… Martial Club showed of some pretty clean Hung Kuen. Hell…most of the Lau Bros. stuff really. Kung Fu theater on channel 5 out in LA would show all the fliks… then my friends and I would larp for hours afterwards. Good times.

How about Challenge of the Masters? Sure it’s old (1976), and the pacing of the fights isn’t as smooth, quick or as “real-looking” (as if any of this movie MA looks totally “real”) as more recent films, but it’s a good Wong Fei-Hong movie and has no slapstick comedy kung fu.
It’s about time that CLF began being featured more. CLF, for such a major kung fu style, even in the KF movie heyday, was rarely the featured MA in a film, and not always obvious onscreen, period. IMO, the best CLF film back in the day was New Shaolin Boxers (with Fu Sheng).

Well, Donnie does SOME Tiger and crane in Iron Monkey…
which movie was it where Jacky Chan does Fu Hok Seurng Ying Kuen on the top of a train to distract the other guy, before getting bashed by a low bridge?
I like that the movie seems to have a lot of real CLF but overall the story looks a bit lame. Personally I would have preferred more of a period CLF piece. I have never been much for modern KF movies with the exception of SPL with Donnie & Sammo.
this movie looks like a disaster…lame script
acting wise Yuen Wah is great, and the rest of them is…no comment.
the fight sequences look like a CLF 2 man form…
the CGI dueling of Sammo Hung and Yuen Wah…what the fk?
And finally ‘Ip Man’ doing CLF with a Karate guy…double what the fk?
Just a small comment.
Empty handed WCK Baat Jaam Dao (Double Knives) looks like CLF in a way…
looks dope… wish i could understand a word of it…
i like how he went up against all the diff styles in practice…
i always love watching old fat chinese men that can move like cats… you look at the guy and you think power and stregth and then they move in a blur and youre like WTF… i love that… pleasant suprises are great…
what are the best sammo hung movies???
Jackie Chan used to do lots of Choi in his movies,… plus (now that he’s a bit older now,) he usually gets beat up by Choi dudes. Hell his ‘Wong Fei-hung’ fought/was friends with “Chan Heung” in Drunken Master 2.
