Review of Red Trousers: The Life of the Hong Kong Stuntmen (2003) by Zachary L — 13 Mar 2008
"The Life of the Hong Kong Stuntmen" - this interesting documentary looks at the people behind the scenes responsible for making Hong Kong films what they are today. Some interesting insights which you may already know if you've seen any of the Jackie Chan documentaries but informative nonetheless.
This film mixes documentary with a cheesy action film at the same time, showing how they're filming a stunt and then the actual movie itself. I enjoyed the interviews with the actual stuntmen showing their challenges in life, as well as former stuntmen such as the great Sammo Hung himself.
Recommended viewing for anyone really interested in the Hong Kong film industry but not for everyone by a long shot.
