Can anyone explain this photo?

 

I'm not sue what film this image is associated with, but the but the budget for the off-set facilities must have been tight.

 

Is it a still taken from a promotional event for the Hong Kong press?.

I wonder how Fung Hark On can stay this way on his toes.

Does this style really exist and uses this form of fighting on the toes ? I mean does the Mantis style exist only in movies or really exists in martial arts ?

Northern and Southern mantis kung fu really exists (Lo Mang is a famous practitioner of the southern style) but I’m not sure about the footwork.

This looks concerning. I think I might be able to see part of a wheelchair in the last photo.

When I met him in 2016 at that festival in Udine to present The Bodyguard he had clear movement problems. He used a special stick. Nevertheless, his vitality and good looks hadn't changed. I think it's a weight reduction due to some walking problems. Let's hope for all the good things we can do.

I think you're very much right. That does look like a wheelchair.

Certainly hope so, living legend.

 

Does look like a wheel chair in that last picture. The guy with the red polo shirt looks like he's resting his right arm on it. And the back of Sammo's chair is different to all the other wooden ones. Just weird seeing him so thin.
