The 80s were a great time for Hong Kong style modern movies. It was a time period for which Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao would be famous for when they were paired together. What made this era so special to me is the Hong Kong style choreography that was created during this time period.Growing up watching these kinds of films was like a treasure for me. It was better than the B-grade martial arts stuff that goes direct to video: sometimes, the fight scenes in those movies had bad editing, combatants who couldn't really fight and scenarios with some lag-time to them. In Hong Kong kickboxing, there was continous movement betweent the combatants and the only time they paused in between battles was so things could get a little dramatic.Benny Urquidez really made a name for himself when he co-starred with Jackie Chan in two films: Dragons Forevre and Wheels on Meals. Both films were given great praise, especially Wheels on Meals for it's inventive boxing scenario betweeen Jackie and Benny. He was the first Westerner I had seen to actually incorporate himself into the Hong Kong way of combat. It wasn't before long after seeing him that I began to see other Westerners (Cynthia Rothrock, Richard Norton, Michael Woods, Pete Cunningham, Jeff Falcon, Bruce Fontaine, etc.) doing Hong Kong choreography. Wheels on Meals and Dragons Forever are proof alone that anyone with martial arts talent can adapt to Hong Kong kickboxing!*note- There's been a lot of talk that people prefer the English dubbed fight scene from Wheels on Meals over the subtitled version, as the dubbed version has a more upbeat music theme when Jackie and Benny throwdown. I agree, the music from the English dubbed made a big difference in the Wheels on Meals boxing scene. |
