I think of the Shaw Brothers Studios.

Because they had absolute freedom and weren't under the regime of communistic totalitarian China, no monopoly, were under British rule which didn't care much about it anyway to control it. Hong Kong was like independent.

loved watching your video essay, made my night

I get that it's about the falling style and not the rest of the scene but it's funny at 3:08 when Arnold throws 9 cops at once and the voice over says that style "is more realistic" 😹

You died or something? Four great video essays and then nothing, so sad.

👊🏾😎👍🏼 🙏🏼😇🙏🏾

sadly thy not gonna make it again. wait cgi can

when i was a kid i already know that fight scene in kung fu film from hongkong way batter than western. until western film start using asian choreographer.

I'm on a hype to watch all the venom mob from shaw brothers movies, and watching this about the 80's, you can really tell the difference and evolution these guys went. These kind of action, suspense, impact and thrilling stunts you can only find in video games now.

Bro. This video slapped so hard. Sheesh. Bravo. New fan. Subscribed and shared widely

Just discovered your channel <3 Hope you are doing well out there!

Good video!

where can i watch these movies?

Spectacular. A fitting tribute and beautifully articulated dude ❤

My guy!! I loved every from of this. Props for showcasing some sublime shots from Project A 2 and Winners and Sinners. ❤

Where can I stream these movies? I miss them

Great video as for the hip hip used 👌👍

Late here but can someone list all the movies shown?

Even the comedy was the best , plus the way it was implemented into the fight scenes

As a cinema super geek... and as a career martial artist... this video truly spoke into words of my love for Hong Kong cinema!!! Truly a love letter to the genre!!! You sir are freaking amazing! Subbed, liked, and followed!

Nobody’s talking about the comedic aspect, it was a big element as well

The question is why did it end?

america past and present got nothing on 80s 90s hong kong 🖤🖤🖤

I'm glad I found ur channel ❤ this is real content ⭐

No. They're all suck

I always watched them with subtitles because the translation in my language never captured the vibe was just to... ...german 😅 What I really like in those movies is the Cantonese Language. Adds so much value to the scenes somehow. Of course Mainland China taking more over Hong Kong & now alot of HK based movies are just in Mandarin. Somehow not my cup of tea at all & threw me off seeing Movies based in / around HK & guys like Donnie Yen suddenly just speaking Mandarin.

It is indeed sensational to watch these action scenes, but these are the typical exploitation film, nothing to be proud of.

actaully is funny to see how dven animes were inspired by this in the 80s and to this days when it comes to action, the same with tokusatsu and even games!

I think the abandom of this style is what made hong kong action movies being forgoten in 2000s and 2010s

from when i was born till 2016 i binge watched the whole selection of the best each year haha xD

Masterclass

6:31 it's great that you've chosen perfect fight for the example. Gus vs Jones is still to date one of the best fights in ufc.

Four five stars❤ hong Kong forever

Your commentary about Lau Kar Leung was very articulate and precise. I knew the Japs and Chinese hated each other over the invasion bit, and this has taken a while to unwind, if you can call it that. On the whole, i must say your presentation is well done!

Why don’t they make films like this anymore 😢

Best breakdown ever

hk movbies were crazy and amazing...crazyy humour too

Twilight of the warriors: walled in go check it out, breaking HK box office all time recond in 2024, it's a banger indeed.

Congratulations from Brazil!

I love Hong Kong movies.

The problem with those films for me is to find them in good quality and to remember their names

i wonder if there's a book on their cinematography or action film techniques, there has to be

Totally speechless when it comes to Hong Kong martial arts films. As an 80s kid growing up in India, this was a big deal. Kids are always into action films... and Jackie Chan films were so huge, such a big deal for us, I can't stress that enough. But to see much later on how much they had to risk their lives to bring this kind of entertainment is just mind-boggling. Just watching these stunts and daredevil tactics make my head spin and sometimes difficult to watch. My prostrations at the feet of all these icons who were involved in making such films.

Hey can you review the 80s Hong kong triad movies? movie series name:”young and dangerous”

The 80s will never die

John woo and Chow yun fat collaboration brought us a better tomorrow,the killer and hard boiled

Great video!

So many great stunts from the films I had to smuggle into the UK in my teens. Back then I obviously gravitated to the stars and the stuntman, all of which should have our eternal gratitude. However, with age has come a long overdue respect/devotion to the editors/their long lost knowledge of tempo of a scene. Nearly all great music requires rests so that the music can fully build to its full potential. If anyone has a page to follow of 80’s Hk editors please educate me. A willing student wishes to learn

From 6:55 to to 7:05 what movie is this?

Lau Gar Leung is his Cantonese name ,Liu Jia Liang is the Mandarin pronunciation of his name not the other way you said buddy....
