Hong Kong Kung Fu

Hong Kong and its kung fu movies, it’s like Belgium and mashed potatoes with carrots: one’s not possible without the other! They became popular in the seventies, thanks to heroes of the tatami like Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan or Sammo Hung, and got an upgrade through Tsui Hark’s beloved wu xia pan. The genre now has a cult status and is recognized all over the world. The 4 Oscars for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon are the best proof of that. With the sequel getting its release this year, the BIFFF takes advantage of this opportunity to present a small retrospective of absolute classics for all those enthusiasts of choreographed brawls!
