The myth of Wong Fei-hung, a Guangdong boxer in late Qing/Early Republican China, has provided filmmakers with a rich vein of cinematic lore. Ever since its debut in 1949, the Wong Fei-hung film series has run to over 100 separate features. Before Bruce Lee took the world by storm with his martial prowess, it was Wong Fei-hung, first played by Kwan Tak-hing, who set the pace in Hong Kong action filmmaking. Wong Fei-hung films, unlike average action films, are not just about fists and kicks; they are informed by shades of Confucian morals, which set them apart from Cantonese movies of the 1950s and 60s. Today, many characters from the series are fondly remembered as famous icons of Hong Kong popular culture. This first-of-its-kind monograph examines the cinema of Wong Fei-hung in terms of its historical background, artistic characteristics, and the workings of film genres. Also included are comments by Wong's disciples on Hung Fist, a martial art practiced by the master, as seen in various film interpretations over the decades. Paperback, Label: Hong Kong Film Archive, Hong Kong Film Archive, Product group: Book, Published: 2012, Studio: Hong Kong Film Archive.
