Introduction
- Welcome
to my kung fu movie site. Created by a lover of kung fu movies (especially
of the seventies) my site is dedicated to all the kung fu movie actors/actresses
and directors. My love for Hong Kong kung fu movies started about 4,5 years
ago when my mother owned a video store in Uruguay (in South America). I remember
seeing the kung fu movies with delight. Bruce Lee
became my first fave of course, but I was also amazed by the likes of Gordon
Liu (in "Warrior from Shaolin"). Then I moved to Sweden where I had lived
before, and there (about four years ago) I started collecting kung fu movies
starting off with the Bruce Lee collection. Today I'm still collecting and
I love the movies even more and have about 50 of them. Kung fu (the martial
art) is also one thing that I can't live without and I've also trained Wing
Tsun kung fu and now I'm training Shaolin Kung Fu. I also read a

lot of kung fu books, I especially like the old stories about Shaolin and
any other thing I can find about kung fu.
- To
not piss you off and bore you with a lot of talking about myself, I'll just
finish it here.

- Introducing
kung fu movies:
- Kung
fu movies, ahhhh. So cool, so full of kung fu, so entertaining, so damn great!!!
- Why
are they so good? Because they have beautiful landscapes, temples, pagodas,
cool costumes, secret styles, meanest villains in the cinemas history, and
heroes that make Van Damme, Chuck Norris etc. look pale, stiff, slow and overweight.
These are some of the things you'll find in a kung fu flick, and those are
some of the reasons I love them so much. Sadly people have taken the genre
as a joke and nobody takes it seriously. But these people just haven't seen
the real beauty of the movies and don't understand Hong Kong movie telling
because they're probably used to the western style.
- Kung
fu movies have so much good stuff going on in them that when you see something
you don't like you just forget about it and watch on or just enjoy the scene.
I personally love kung fu movies just because they are so different and inventive,
it's a different world which you visit every time you see a kung fu flick.
And that's the world I'll like to show you with this site.

- The
site:
- Well,
to the page. I have a review section, where I write
about kung fu movies and rate them. Want to know how I rate them, go to the
rating system. If you want to know where to buy
these movies go to the video info section.
- I
have a picture section with pictures of the kung fu
actors/actresses and movies. I always try to find as many old school pictures
as possible to give you the rarest and most exotic pictures. The ones that
are recommended are my personal faves.
- There's
also a nomination section where I nominate
actors and movies because they deserve it. A biography
section were I write about my faves of the genre. You'll probably recognize
some and if not, read on and check out their movies later. Note, the actors
movie lists contain selected movies, non of them have modern day action movies
(unless they have some kung fu in them!) listed for the simple reason that
my page is not about that. So they do NOT show the actors entire movie list.
- I'm
also making a page with peoples top ten favorite
kung fu movies and I hope (with your help) that it will grow to an immense
list, so if you want you can send
me your 10 faves (please send your name and country too). You can also
vote
on your favorite kung fu stars! Or just click here
to see the statistics on who's getting more votes.
- I
hope you'll like my page. Return because it's constantly under construction.
I
will probably add one or two new reviews every month and some some pictures
here and there.
- If
you have any questions or something just Email
me and I'll be delighted to answer you.
Please
if you have to use anything from my site ask me first!
Note:
Most of the info on the stars was taken from Eastern
Heroes and MIHK video sleeves.
Info on Bruce Lee movies was taken from the book "Intercepting Fist: the
films of Bruce Lee" and Hong
Kong Legends DVD's. Others were taken from the "Impact" magazine.
Most of the pictures were scanned from the "Impact" magazine, the
other pictures are video captures that I've done.
