Because he starred in the movie "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City", the 74-year-old kung fu star Sammo Hung has recently been exposed again.

Sammo Hung is busy this year, he just received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Academy Awards, and the action movie he shot a few years ago was also released.

Because of the "Kowloon Walled City", a special landmark in the past, many Hong Kong filmmakers have also taken it into their own movies, such as the "Pigpen Walled City" in Stephen Chow's movie "Kung Fu".

This time, on the last talk show, Sammo Hung was asked about the grievances between Sammo Hung and Stephen Chow when he was filming the movie "Kung Fu", and he did not evade it and expressed his attitude.

Stephen Chow directed and starred in "Kung Fu" and invited Sammo Hung to be a martial arts instructor, but before the film was filmed at Shanghai Chedun Film and Television Base, the two had an unpleasant relationship, and Sammo Hung left the crew halfway.

This time, 20 years after the release of "Kung Fu", Sammo Hung once again publicly talked about the grievances between him and Stephen Chow.

When asked if he would watch Stephen Chow's movies, Sammo Hung said that he would watch them, but he didn't evaluate Stephen Chow and didn't want to evaluate him.

Sammo Hung also deliberately emphasized: "It's not that I don't want to, but I don't want to (evaluate Stephen Chow)."

Sammo Hung did not shy away from his attitude towards Stephen Chow, which was very distinct, which shows that the two must have had a very unpleasant quarrel at that time, and they must have broken up unhappily in the end.

Sammo Hung is a senior figure in the Hong Kong film industry and Jackie Chan's senior brother, and has made great contributions to Hong Kong kung fu action movies.

He is a highly respected and well-known big name in the circle, especially in the film and television martial arts instructor, Sammo Hung, who established the Hong family class early, has his own style of acting, and everyone in the circle respects him.

When Stephen Chow was filming the movie "Kung Fu", he specially invited Sammo Hung to serve as the film's martial arts instructor, and Sammo Hung also admired him and happily went, but while patting, the relationship between the two seemed to have changed.

According to Sammo Hung said that at that time, he asked for leave to return to Hong Kong for medical treatment because he was bitten by mosquitoes on the set, and then he was notified that he did not need to return to the crew. In the action scene part behind "Kung Fu", Stephen Chow found Yuan Heping to take over the completion.

Despite leaving early, some of the important action scenes that Sammo Hung was responsible for were retained in "Kung Fu", such as the Axe Gang War, the Three Masters and so on.

was bitten by a mosquito to see a doctor and left the crew, obviously just a reason for "being decent to the outside", although the real reason was not told by both parties, the outside world could also guess a thing or two.

Sammo Hung is Stephen Chow's predecessor, but Stephen Chow is also well-known in the circle for doing his own thing, it is conceivable that when two strong people meet together, if no one takes the initiative to communicate, the result is "one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers".

Although 20 years have passed, Sammo Hung still said "I don't want to evaluate (Stephen Chow)", obviously he didn't let it go, and he didn't want to let it go, he still refused to forgive Stephen Chow, which shows that he was very angry back then.

Words spoken, water spilled.

It's hard to make a friend, it takes a lot of effort, and sometimes you may not realize it, and you offend someone, maybe it's just a word, a look, an attitude.

In fact, Stephen Chow filmed "Kung Fu" that year and lost two superstars:

One is Sammo Hung, who still doesn't want to evaluate him, and the other is Wu Mengda, which has also become an eternal regret between them.

Wu Mengda once talked about it in a show before his death, and the real reason why he didn't continue to cooperate with Stephen Chow back then was a conflict in the time schedule, that is, "Kung Fu".

Actor Lin Zicong also revealed that when filming "Kung Fu", his role itself was played by Wu Mengda, and the role itself was called Ada.

The filming of "Kung Fu" encountered SARS at that time and was forced to postpone, but the filming schedule conflicted with the schedule of another Wu Mengda play. Wu Mengda said that there are contracts for other dramas, but there are no contracts with Stephen Chow, and Stephen Chow is his own, so he directly told Stephen Chow that he could only choose to shoot that drama, so he didn't make "Kung Fu".

After that, Stephen Chow's movies did not encounter roles and opportunities suitable for Wu Mengda, so he missed them again and again until Wu Mengda died of illness.

Although he has missed Stephen Chow's movies again and again, Wu Mengda is the only golden partner and the person who understands Stephen Chow the most.

Before his death, Uncle Da publicly mentioned Stephen Chow's various good things on other occasions many times-

Stephen Chow's acting is unique, and no one in Hong Kong can imitate it.

Stephen Chow does get angry and scold, but that is for the sake of the play, not for the right person, whether at work or in life, he has never said a word of heavy tone to himself.

Uncle Da also said: Xingzi is his own person.

Everyone else calls Stephen Chow Xingye, and Wu Mengda calls him Xingzai, which reflects the intimate relationship between the two.

Just like Uncle Da said: He (Stephen Chow) treats me as half a father, half an elder brother, and half a teacher, I believe so, in fact, our relationship is very good.

It has been 20 years since the movie "Kung Fu" was released, and although everyone has never waited for "Kung Fu 2", many past events will ripple from time to time.

Excellent people are inevitably strong and inevitably have tempers, I believe that everyone's original intention is to be good for the movie, not to the right person.

Take care of yourself and make more movies that everyone loves to watch.
