刘家良在《七剑》的演出 |
一代武术指导兼演员,刘家良因为血癌于昨天(6月25日)在香港病逝,享年78岁。
如果你是香港武术电影影片爱好者,应该会了解“有家良,必有家辉”的定律。在邵氏电影的年代,这两位武术片的指导和演员在一起,为无数的观众带来了多少年的娱乐。
刘家良的武术电影事业,跨越了香港电影的多个时期,从长城、邵氏到合拍片年代,无论是武打明星在荧幕前的亮丽演出,还是颠覆武侠片里的长幼关系(例如:《陆阿采与黄飞鸿》里,一代宗师黄飞鸿变成了徒弟的概念),刘氏风格在香港武术片还未没落前,形成了一派。
林家栋监制的 《打擂台》(2010)所呈现的风格,在程度上是向香港以昔的武术片辉煌年代致敬,而刘家良和众多的武术指导,也为了香江电影出了很多力量。这是值得肯定的。
在此,《消失中的香港》愿这位几十年为香港功夫电影贡献的电影人,一路走好。
It is sad to know that one of the prominent Hong Kong Kungfu films personality, Lau Kar Leung died of leukemia in Hong Kong. He was 78 years old.
If you are a fan of kungfu films and familiar with Gordon Liu, please note Lau is not only the martial arts director for most of Liu's works, he is also Liu's godbrother cum disciple.
Lau's career started as a martial arts director for Kung Fu Master from Guangdong (1963). The first film that propelled him to fame is The Jaded Bow (1966). He switched over to Shaw Brothers in 1967 and his partnership with Gordon Liu in 1978's The 36th Chamber of Shaolin made the latter and the film well received with the western audience. This happened 5 years after the tragic death of Bruce Lee which no other films can filled in the void.
He cut down on film making during the 1980s onwards and his last appearance in film is Tsui Hark's Seven Swords.
I believe with the launch of CEPA for Hong Kong film industry, there are very few kungfu films being produced from then on. Gordon Lam produced and Andy Lau financed Gallants (2010) is a tribute to the glorious past of Kungfu films.Lau Kar Leung's style in martial arts developed its own philosophy is part of the factor to compelled film makers to paid or to pay more tribute in future for such genre films.
Disappearing Hong Kong wishes the late Lau rest in peace.
