This Is Kung Fu (1983) cast adds

[Gaijin84]

Please add these cast members to "This Is Kung Fu" - I'll add pictures once they are in. These are a majority of the members of the 1983 Beijing Wushu team, who demonstrate the styles shown. For anyone that hasn't seen this movie, really try and make an effort to. The styles and routines shown are really incredible and demonstrated by some of the best martial artists ever. I can't give this a high enough recommendation for fans of the ART in martial arts.



Thanks

Added almost all of them. (they are written in simplified chinese, so is very difficult to me "create" them)

[Gaijin84]

thanks calros - I appreciate your help

If anybody can write here this "Yu" symbol of Yu Shaowen I will add him too.

Gaijin84, could you check our gallery for KIDS FROM SHAOLIN to see if you recognise any other cast members? Most of them were from the Beijing Wu Shu team around 1983...

(whoops, just remembered that I didn't de-anamorphise those pictures before I uploaded them, so everybody's face is about 20% too long!)

[Gaijin84]

On first glance I don't really see anyone I recognize. A lot of the participants in This Is Kung Fu are in their mid to late teens (Jet Li's age), while these look like really young kids. I think I have this film at home though, so I'll watch it and see if anyone jumps out at me.

btw, thanks calros

i think i was searching for Li Zhizhou

i added that as an alias

Did some extensive reserach and it turns out the Liu Yin in our database is actually Lu Yan herself.

If no one objects, I will combine these two records on 10/13:

I found that second Lu Yan-action director, I was not sure if she was the same person (remember: there must be 2,000,000,000 of Lu Yans in China) so I created a new Lu Yan.

In the bio you provided, it does not say nothing about she working as action director of any movie...

Anyway, if you are sure, it is OK for me.

Actually, my "extensive research" was sort of tongue-in-cheek - I was lucky enough to get in touch with her husband, a very nice guy who was more than happy to help me out with her info.
