To start off 2014 and in preparation for the Chinese New Year, SBS is screening kung fu films on Saturday nights…. The first one is Detective Dee: Mystery of Phantom Flame and is on at 9:30pm. It has very good reviews!
The fight choreographer, Sammo Hung, was chosen for his portrayal of realistic punches and kicks - and there are a LOT of wires to make the whole action scenes work (up to 70 in one scene!)
Of the lead actors, Andy Lau and Li Bingbing, Li had no martial arts experience and so had to learn some kung fu and weapons (sword and whip). Let's see how she does…..
Will she get the basic principles of alignment and relaxation correct?
