True Story of Wong Fei Hung: Volume 1 - Whip Extinguishes Candles

This is part 1 of the classic Hong Kong film originally released in 1949 that pioneered the Wuxia film genre. Visionary Director Wu Pang cast Chinese Opera star Kwan Tak Hing in the role of the legendary folk hero Wong Fei Hung; a role that he was to hold for more than 40 years in over 100 film and TV productions.

In this film, grand disciples of the real life Wong Fei Hung were enlisted as consultants and background actors including notables Leung Wing Hang, Lau Cham, Yuen Wing Kwai, Poon Kwai Yat, and Chan Hon Chung. Other well known stars included: Walter Tso Tat Wah, Simon Yuen Siu Tin (father of action director Yuen Woo Ping), and Lee Lan (the first Miss Hong Kong of 1946).

@drhycodan Bruce Lee never portrayed Wong Fei Hung.

Bruce Lee was the best portrayal of Wong Fei Hung. Too bad he died before he got to make a movie of it.

Wow what a classic film. The Martial-art choreography and fight scene was not that good yet. But the story as it tackles the life of the Legendary Wong-Fei Hugn is really something to be appreciated. I was not yet in the world at that year the world WAR II was just a few years passed. But now. in the present time I was able to see movies about martial-art epic. Just imagine how many well know Star or Super Stars have portraited Wong shifu. How i just wits that Wong shifu has a real video.
