Remember it is a movie and the techniques are overly streched out for visual purposes only. When Lee Koon Hung taught us about sparring it was a bit different than the movie. Certain things if done with the arms extended too much are not very practical.

Lee Koon Hung and Videos
CLFNole,
many years back, a saw some videos which Morne got from Lee Koon Hung while training in HK back in 87. He had many videos, I remember seing the tapes all nicely in his book rack (more than 10), with each containing some forms, and training tips etc. I saw a glimps of one tape (but one of my sihings claims he has seen a few of the tapes). It was very ametuerish, obviously taken while training, and then after GM taught the form, he had some HK students perform it. I remember a very slim student, and one that was slightly more fatter. All from the LKH school in HK.
At that time, I didnt take much interest in these tapes, but I remember later (little over 4 years back) I asked M about the tapes. He then said that the tapes got stolen.
Would be interesting to see them now.
Ironic
It is ironic that you take offence when i mentioned that southern kung fu is found in cheap ole chinese flicks. But here you all are admiting it.
Are all southern practitioners so full of double talk or is the truth from an outside observer like myself too hard to swallow - like a jagged little pill?
didn’t know you liked Alanis Morissette, Ego

Yeah CLFnole,
I was thinking more along the lines of context of the move rather than execution. In this movie as in most, you can obviously see alot of the techniques are lacking power in order to maintain style and looks of execution. Alot of the sow choi’s were very straight armed and turned the wrong way. But it was definately amusing.
AOF
And also, real fights aren’t that stacatto. But I love it done that way in the movies sometimes, so you can actually see the movements clearly.
Arhat, did you check out Tiger’s Claw? To my surprise, it had nothing to do with Fu Jao!! Funny ending…“FATHER!!!..”

Yee sam,
I started to watch it but passed out before it was done. I too, noticed it had nothing to do with Fu jow. I thought it would have something to do with Hung Gar but it seemed in the beginning they were using pak kua.
Yee Sam- were you able to pick out the styles they were using.
AOF
Is there any such thing as “standard kung-fu”?? If there is, that’s what it looks like they were doing. Having CLF as my main point of reference, I could say some of the moves looked CLFish…maybe a little Hung Garish. But I don’t know for sure. Shih Kin, the main villain in Enter the Dragon was in it…and I know he had affiliation with Lee Koon Hung. What is Shih Kin’s style?

Im not sure what his style is, but I definately agree that it looked like standard kung fu. I was thinking Hungar myself. Anyway Its almost 5 and I dont have a computer at home so, if you leave a message I will pick it up on monday. Take it easy and train, train, train…
AOF
What is Shih Kin’s style?
Shek Kin’s styles was Eagle Claw, I think.
Shek Kin had a number of different sifu’s some of his styles included:
Tong Long (Preying Mantis)
Ying Jow (Eagle Claw)
Sil Lim Kuen (Shaolin Fist )
Law Horn Mun
Some king of Palm Style that I always forget the name.
He was a well-known kung fu practioner and supposedly witnessed the time Ku Yu Cheong killed the horse with his iron palm strike. Lee Koon Hung was one of his only formal students. He passed on a number of northern sets to my sifu when he was in his 30s (Lee Koon Hung). Some of the sets remain in our system and are taught in the higher levels. The 3-section staff form seen on Tat Mau Wong’s tape is this form although he modified it a bit. He passed on a really good spear form that I was lucky enough to learn called Wun Hop Cheung.
Peace.
