Member popsjnr Posted October 13, 2014 Member Share Posted October 13, 2014 Been lucky enough (thanks to mark Houghton) to see the 2:30 min teaser trailer and it looks superb. Some nice footage of Lau si-fu both in action and discussing martial arts, and awe inspiring clips of the new Lau Kar Ban in action...Pops's spirit lives on. Hopefully I will get the chance to put the full 6 min trailer on my Lau Kar Leung Appreciation Society Facebook page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted March 30, 2015 Author Member Share Posted March 30, 2015 Is this just a documentary or is there more to it? This video popped up recently and it seems that there's some serious fight choreography going on... sWbYh9dLpoY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member reason108 Posted April 7, 2015 Member Share Posted April 7, 2015 This is cool. I would hope that there is more to it than just this. I would like to see a full-length doc with some unseen interviews, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Asmo Posted April 7, 2015 Moderator Share Posted April 7, 2015 This is cool. I would hope that there is more to it than just this. I would like to see a full-length doc with some unseen interviews, etc. Yeah, I agree. Hopefully it's longer. I remember seeing some footage on YouTube of LKL talking about choreography and how it compared to reality (memory is a bit fuzzy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crazy thing is, at one point, I was going to sell this dvd. Then, I really got into Pop`s movies and am damn glad that I didn't. I wish that Dragon Dynasty would have gone through with interviewing him. He is one of those people that I could listen to for months. He just had so much knowledge. Its too bad that there are not more interviews with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Asmo Posted April 8, 2015 Moderator Share Posted April 8, 2015 It wasn't that one. I really need to get Red Trousers. The interview with him in the Tribute to Action Choreographers that the HK film archive put out was cool too. The clip I remember was shorter and it featured people who may have been students of his, or stuntmen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Phoenix Posted April 11, 2015 Member Share Posted April 11, 2015 His recollections in Red Trousers were really informative. Those interviews are rarely mentioned on here. I've not seen the HK archive tribute, is it widely available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
