Bey Logan is one of the world’s most highly regarded experts on Asian action cinema. He was previously the author of the ground-breaking ‘Hong Kong Action Cinema’, an introduction to the genre. He subsequently spent more than 20 years working in the Hong Kong movie industry as a writer, producer and film historian. His productions include such hits as ‘The Twins Effect’, ‘Dragon Squad’ and ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny’ starring such idols as Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Michelle Yeoh and Donnie Yen. Logan has also curated several home entertainment labels focusing on Asian action films and has recorded more full-length feature film commentaries than anyone else. As a further string to his bow, Bey is an expert in Hung Gar kung fu, and runs a martial arts school in Hong Kong.
‘Writing Kung Fu’ is one of two films directed by cult Asian movie icon Bolo Yeung. Bolo is best-known for his eponymous role in the Bruce Lee classic ‘Enter the Dragon’, and as the villainous Chong Li in Jean-Claude Van Damme’s breakthrough hit ‘Bloodsport’. In the opinion of Hong Kong film historian Bey Logan, ‘Writing Kung Fu’ is an underrated lost classic, and he covers its production in detail in his book ’36 Chambers of Kung Fu Cinema (Volume One)’ (available from Reel East).
Also known as ‘Chinese Samson’ and ‘Hot Dog Kung Fu’, the film was shot mainly in Saraburi, Thailand. It stars perennial 80s Hong Kong action lead John Cheung, and also features fan favourite Rambo Kong and regular Lau Kar-leung player San Sin. The female lead is Candice Yu On-on, best-known as the first wife of superstar Chow Yun-fat.
