Ian Day ๐จ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ณ๏ธโ๐Itโs time forโฆ KUNG FU!!
Catching up on some #KungFuSat, #Watching Kid with the Golden Arm (1979) https://letterboxd.com/imdb/tt0079372
klu9 on NeoDBfinished watching Kung Fu Stuntmen ๐๐๐๐๐
Fascinating / horrifying look at Hong Kong action movie stunt folk especially from films in 1960-1980s, & the things they achieved / put up with / survived / occasionally didn't survive.
#KungFuSat watch party on Mastodon

klu9And in case anyone was wondering, no, it wasn't a stunt gone wrong that took Lam Chingying from us, it was cancer
It was great. In the end just watched it full screen without the chat (for some reason ATM both Mastodon & Tusky on my phone claim 0 posts tagged #KungFuSat )
Kevin C ๐ฌStuntmen died or were paralyzed because they fell on a stunt wire wrong. That's f**ked up.
I couldn't participate in the chat (due to tech issues) but thanks @MatthewTitus88 for that great documentary an- MID-CREDITS SEQUENCE DEDICATED TO LAM CHINGYING!
Sesame Squirrel#KungFuSat ๐ฅ #HongKongStuntmen Thanks @MatthewTitus88 for that fascinating (and depressing) documentary
I promise to NOT show a crazy 1990s HK movie next week
Oh hey -- outtakes! How very Hong Kong film
KSHernandez โ(she/her/they)Wow, y'all! That was eye opening. I'll be watching my #KungFuSat films through a more informed lens now.

Thank you all for uplifting me.
