Peking Opera Days
The Peking Opera school was run from a small theatre by Master Yu Jim Yuen, this was where Sammo Hung would begin his journey. In them days, the stundents would normally enroll for around 10 years, each day performing gruelling tasks for up to 18 hours a day which included training in the Martial Arts, weapons training, acrobatics, acting and singing. The Peking opera of course brought together Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao, Yuen Wah, Corey Yuen, Yuen Tak and Yuen Mo, who would eventually be known as the 7 Little Fortunes.

Every week or so, i shall be putting together a feature called If Only These Would Have Happened. It is basically just what you would have liked to have happened in martial art movies such as facing two people against each other, a director and actor working together. Before Jackie Chan faced Jet Li in Forbidden Kingdom, i wanted that fight to happen for years, luckily it did.
If you have any suggestions, i shall pick 1-2 and include them in the next feature.
Bruce Lee Vs Bolo Yeung
This is the only thing that was missing from the amazing Enter The Dragon. The nearest you will ever get to it, is the still they taken when practicing for scenes. I enjoyed the fight between Bolo and Saxon, but i feel the way Bolo dies and gets beat was to easy and going against Bruce Lee would have made a much better fight.

Brothers Five
Written by Ni Kuang and Lo Wei
Directed by Lo Wei
Hong Kong, 1970
One of the commonly celebrated phenomena in human society is when several individuals, previously strangers to one another, come together in order to achieve a common goal, be it professional, to thwart a threat, create or accomplish something that speaks to each on an emotional level. The commonalities that bond humans must sometimes be learned the hard way, therefore making them feel all the more precious when they bring people together, which speaks volumes about the human spirit. Not all goals are of equal measure of course, but regardless of what evokes the aforementioned feeling of connectedness, the results are sure to satisfy. Lo Wei’s 1970 film Brothers Five, which has five young men of various talents discover their blood bond and seek revenge for the death of their father….completely avoids exploring that theme in favour of wall-to-wall action.
