Plot/Synopsis
This is Part 1 of the classic Hong Kong film originally released in 1949 that pioneered the entire Wuxia film genre. Visionary Director Wu Pang cast Chinese Opera star Kwan Tak Hing in the role of the legendary folk hero Wong Fei Hung; a role that he was to hold for more than 40 years in over 100 film and TV productions. In this film, grand disciples of the real life Wong Fei Hung were enlisted as consultants and background actors including notables Leung Wing Hang, Yuen Wing Kwai, Poon Kwai Yat, and Chan Hon Chung. Other well known stars included: Walter Tso Tat Wah, Simon Yuen Siu Tin (father of action director Yuen Woo Ping), and Lee Lan (the first Miss Hong Kong on 1946). The film contains some of the earliest recorded footage of traditional Hung Gar forms and fighting methods, performed by the most famous practitioners of the era. This is a "must-see" for martial arts fans, historians and kung fu practitioners of all styles.
