FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description EVERYBODY WAS KUNG FU FIGHTING: A Retro Journey Back to the 1970s. Let us take you back to the early 1970s when suddenly this strange oriental action genre hit the cinema and television screens and changed popular youth culture with stars such as Wang Yu, David Chiang, Angela Mao Ying, David Carradine, and of course the King of Kung Fu - Bruce Lee. Review "In the Bruce Lee classic The way of the dragon, the mafia boss is told that Bruce Lees character knows Chinese kung fu and he replies quizzically " Kung Fu?" And so it was with the UK cinema audiences of the early seventies, who unaccustomed to Chinese martial arts films, suddenly found themselves swept up in the new fad of Kung Fu films arriving from the east. At the centre of it all was of course its greatest star, Bruce Lee, who gets pride of place within this excellent book.Steve Kerridge has written an incredibly well-researched book that takes a look at that golden period when everyone it seemed was Kung Fu fighting. Packed with press clippings, photos and those front of house cinema posters that captured the excitement of the martial arts film on offer at your local cinema. Included is a rare review of Whickers Oriental world in which esteemed journalist Alan Whicker looked at the Chinese film industry and met with Actress Betty Ting Pei, who as any Bruce Lee fan will know, was with the great man when he died in her apartment in July 1973.They are all here. Stars like Jimmy Wang Yu, Angela Mao, David Chiang, Ti Lung and many others are all remembered along with those exciting films with titles like Fist of Fury, King Boxer, When Taekwondo Strikes, The one-armed swordsman and so on. The censorship of the Bruce Lee films is also discussed as is the general impact of martial arts on the media and the record industry in Britain in the seventies.If your a Bruce Lee fan or just love martial arts films in general, then you shouldnt be without this Book.Its a truly unique insight into a period in the early seventies when the British public asked " Kung Fu?" and got a dynamic answer from inside cinemas all over the country.""Absolutely love this book! Takes me right back to being 12 years old and discovering the late Bruce Lee and Kung Fu.Expertly written and compiled by top Bruce Lee historian Steve Kerridge, its crammed with contemporary reviews and film memorabilia. A must-have for fans of the genre.""A nostalgic trip back to the 70s when Kung Fu was king. I remember going to the cinema to watch all the Kung Fu movies that were on show and hoping that the doorman would let me in as at the time I was still underage since you had to be 16 or over. Fortunately, I always managed to get away with it and be allowed to watch the movie. Now thanks to Steve Kerridge I am reliving those great times all over again. A great book and highly recommended."
