Member yiyuen Posted August 15, 2018 Member Share Posted August 15, 2018 thanx Golden dragon, I'm happy this site pay tribute to people and movies I loved so much in my Youth. By the way another actor I would love to know more about, its just the main owner of my nickname: Yi Yuen, or Yee Yuan, the moustached badguy in tons of Taiwanese gongfupian and wushapian. If some of you know something about his life, let me know. Sure he must be dead many years ago. Last movie where I saw him was Island on fire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member yiyuen Posted August 17, 2018 Member Share Posted August 17, 2018 Two images from my interview to Sifu Leung in HK, 2007. This is the only one he made for Italy. By the way he was in sorrow 'cause the industry pushed him aside and young generations in HK didn't know his movies. R.I.P Sifu and thanx for the time You gifted me. lcliang 1.bmp lcliang 2.bmp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member yiyuen Posted August 27, 2018 Member Share Posted August 27, 2018 Here you can see an excerpt from my interview to Sifu Leung explaining the genesis of the One Armed Swordsman saga. Sadly its not english subtitled 'cause it was aired by italian TV, anyway the main thing he said was that he gave the idea to Chang Cheh and Wang Yu to broke the hero sword, 'cause the original sword was too longer and each time Wang drawed it with left hand it was a little bit complicated. If you know someone speaking cantonese or italian you can translate all of it. I made it in 2007. enjoy Rai4-20090425224200_1368984.avi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark promised Lau to not only keep teaching Hung Gar but to return to the film industry, which he works primarily as an action director. He choreographed the still to be released Dragon Gate, which stars his daughter Charlene in her 1st lead role. His dream film is The Burning of The Shaolin Temple, a script Lau Kar-Leung completed before his death but never got the chance to make. Mark said his endgame would be to get this film made. He told me this in an interview I conducted a few months ago to correspond with his documentary I am the White Tiger https://worldfilmgeek.com/2019/06/14/meet-the-white-tiger-an-interview-with-mark-houghton/ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member CoolBlackKnight Posted September 15, 2019 Member Share Posted September 15, 2019 (edited) Ah, one of my favs... "Pops" is just a joy to watch in action. I would have loved to have seen him in a modern movies with cinematography like the first Matrix or and RAID movie. Yes Drunken Monk, just listening to him teach is almost as good as his action scenes. Edited September 15, 2019 by CoolBlackKnight 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me Drunken master 2 was the last great Kung fu movie.I wonder what we would have got if he had stayed on as director?Would it have been as good or are we fortunate he left and Jackie added his stuff to make it an all time classic?Either way he was a true legend 👍👍👍👍 Edited June 25, 2020 by sym8 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that as his last great performance. Seven sword is beautiful in other respects. The fighting resumed strangely from Hark, even worse than the frantic editing of Time and Tide. The camera is inserted in unthinkable points and the assembly is not very delicate to see the movements well. Anyone unfamiliar with the genre would tell you that directing sucks. I love Hark, but it's often too experimental. It seems strange to me that there were no problems on the set between Leung and Hark, especially during the editing phase. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
