#Movies showing different shaolin techniques movie
When the movie came out, it wasn't a success. He always made me finish the fight scenes very quickly. It was a low-budget film, and everything happened too fast. Lo didn't give me enough time to work out the fighting. So that really helped me become more experienced.īut I'm not really satisfied with the martial arts in that film. When he was asleep, the crew worked quietly so as not to wake him, and I had more time to work the martial arts scenes out. Lo used to fall asleep when we were shooting the fighting scenes, and when he was asleep, I would do everything myself. Q: Was there anything you liked about New Fist of Fury? So I realised that to succeed, I would have to be completely different to him. I just know what I am doing, I know my craft.Īlso, I had seen the pressure that Bruce had come under because he promoted himself as the best fighter, and I didn't want to go through that. I did not have all the experiences that Bruce had, and I could not act the way he did, either.īruce knew a lot about philosophy, which he had learned at school, and I don't have his talent for philosophy. But I am not like Bruce Lee as a fighter, and as a person I am different, too, as I am happy-go-lucky. Jackie: Yes, Lo Wei just wanted me to be another Bruce Lee, and he wanted me to do kung fu in the style of Bruce. Q: When you made New Fist of Fury, Lo Wei, the director, wanted you to perform like Bruce Lee. In this previously unpublished interview from 1998, Chan talked to this writer about the qualities of his early films. Chan then signed to the Golden Harvest studio, which gave him the resources to direct The Young Master (1980), in which he was able to flex his wings as a director, actor and choreographer. The kung fu comedies Snake in the Eagle's Shadow and Drunken Master, both released in 1978, finally put comparisons with Lee to rest. But their first film, New Fist of Fury (1975), failed at the box office. Jackie Chan's first shot at fame during the mid-1970s saw Lo Wei, who had directed The Big Boss and Fist of Fury, try to turn him into a Bruce Lee clone.
