About This Book
Overview

‘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.
