Member Drunken Monk Posted July 24, 2014 Member Share Posted July 24, 2014 The article poses an interesting question: is Lau Kar Leung a modern version of the Chinese folk hero/icon. Is Pops our Ip Man or Wong Fei Hung? Decades from now, will he be recognised outside of the genre? Either way, I'd love either a film or a book. I don't know nearly as much about his life as I'd like to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted July 24, 2014 Member Share Posted July 24, 2014 I don't know if I could watch a bio. I hold Lau on such a high pedestal that I wouldn't be able to watch someone imitate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Secret Executioner Posted July 25, 2014 Member Share Posted July 25, 2014 Now THAT should be something interesting. Let's just hope it won't be exploitation stuff - something along the lines of the first Ip Man movie or of The Grandmaster should be damn cool.

Member kami Posted July 25, 2014 Member Share Posted July 25, 2014 I would watch it if it's not a martial arts-movie but a peek behind the curtains of the HK film industry in various stages. That could be interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member QueMuchita Posted July 25, 2014 Member Share Posted July 25, 2014 Would be interesting to see what approach they take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted July 25, 2014 Member Share Posted July 25, 2014 I think the way kami says would definitely be the way to go. I don't know a whole ton about Lau but he seems like a strict director. I imagine he blew up on a couple people and gave them an earful. And i imagine if it ever happened people probably shit their pants on set. I'd like to see a life story of him without fight scenes. Nobody can move like him so I wouldn't want to see them try. It would be hard seeing someone try to act like him, but it could be a good movie. Could be a great movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
