Isn't it awesome that Gordon Liu is blogging!

That's a cool background! Love that pic of Gordon.

Welcome. How's the status of that Lu Ah Choi biopic?

This is really awesome Liu Sifu.I really hope that I can share some conversations with you.I'really been a big fan of yours for a very long time and i too practice Gung fu.Its really great to meet you sir   Mike Sheng

When i saw KillBill 2 i was very impress with the eagle fist that you displayed and i never seen you do that style before because i 've always known you to play  Hung Kuen But i got my hands on this movie with Fu Sheng and it was Shaolin Martial Arts,being a big Fu Sheng  I didn't know it was one of your first movies and you practice the Eagle in that movie with was impressive.Does the Lau family Hung Kuen incorporate Eagle style?  Mike Sheng

Gordon Liu has always been able to take the greatest pictures, hahahah. This shot on this page is
another awesome shot. Does anyone know where I can get wallpaper of some of Gordons movies, or some of him in the great kung fu poses he does? He's just an all around awesome martial artists.

Yes, he's quite photogenic isn't he with that 'come away with me' look!! Haha.  His latest, well not quite, movie was in 2003 with Sifu Lau Kar Leung in Drunken Monkey (also starred Wu Jing).  Just watched it last night on my dvd.  Although making a guest appearance only, his 2 fighting scenes still showcased his prowess in his martial arts with no signs of slack.   And of course, still so handsome.

I loved Drunken Monkey or is Monk? I don't know, hahahahaha. My husband didn't tell me he was in the movie and I was watching it and when I saw him I almost choked on my iced tea because he was in it, hahahahaha. I pointed at the screen like a little kid and said "ITS GORDON LIU, ITS GORDON LIU!" he just laughed at me. I didn't want to see Kill Bill because it was too bloody for me, but when it came out on dvd I asked my husband to rent it and only run the dvd to the parts that Gordon Liu was in, hahahahahahahahaha, and to this day that is the only part of that movie I will watch.

Quentin Tarantino has good taste in selecting Gordon for both his Kill Bill movies.  Unfortunately the fighting sequences in the teahouse was too short.   Since he enjoyed Gordon's martial prowess, he should have extended it for another 3 minutes screentime.  Then a new generation will see how good Gordon is.    For Kill Bill 2,  Gordon didn't even have a chance to showcase much!  It's all Uma.  (that fingers-too-sore-to-hold-chopsticks bit was copied from Challenge of the Masters and Jackie Chan's Drunken Master 1).   Personally,  I  felt that Gordon wasn't  given much promotion in all the movies' premieres' worldwide, but still, we're all happy for Gordon's exposure to the new generation.

blsee11, it's Shaolin Drunken Monk you're referring to.  It's horribly dubbed in English  and I don't know where they find those people!  Ahh, shivers!  and I try to lip-read it for it's chinese dialogue.  You'll remember there were training sequences of him at the waterfall, that's the 'Drunken Fist'  and he also used part of this in his final fighting scene with the girl's father on the beach.  There was also the training routine of stepping on short poles (sometimes they do it on claypots for real).
  MIKxing, have you ever tried these routines??

Watch it again.

oh ok, thanks for that correction. You are right about his minimal parts in Kill Bill , what a rip.

I'm glad you brought up the English dubbing because it is sooo painful to listen to in these movies sometimes that I watch the movies in their native tongues with englis subtitles. Who is responsible for that? I mean aren't the movies watched prior to releasing? It actually makes you wince sometimes to hear such creepy voices being put to strong character parts that people like Gordon Liu and Jet Li play. I actually watched a movie once that had Gordon sounding like he almost had a british accent! I was like WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yes i can play Drunken fist,But i never played the Mui fa  stepping post.

I love Ngou Ngou (Journey to the West)!

Hey blsee11 & MIKxing 4767

Have you guys checked out the movies I recommended?? - Tiger on the Beat 1 & 2??  Here's another = Godfather of Canton .  Cheers.
