Inspired by classic kung fu flicks from the 1980s and 1990s, Hong
Kong cult illustrator Rex Koo pays tribute to the heroes from his
childhood in I KNOW KUNG FU– an artbook that celebrates the
much-loved shows and stars that have made Chinese martial arts into
the global pop-culture phenomenon that it is today. Drawing from
four popular kung fu movies – “Once Upon a Time in China
III”, “Shaolin Soccer”, “Kung Fu Hustle”, and “The
Grandmaster” – Koo brings to life the legendary tales and
titbits behind fan-favourite fighting techniques such as the
“Golden Shield Iron Vest”, “Magic Power of Toad”, and
“Tai Chi Fist” in his distinct, nuanced style. Readers can
expect over 250 pages of compelling and characterful illustrations
depicting featured moves and film stills, before learning more
about the actors and producers that have made a mark on local and
international kung fu cinema via a special section dedicated to
these masters. This book is available in a vivid red or bright
yellow; books are shipped to customers at random.
