A few action director credits + behind the scenes pics

[J.J.Hayden]

I had planned to get a couple of bigger projects done before the end of the year, but due to my nanna's accident and eventual passing, my plans have shifted dramatically. I'll still try to get some big ones done but it's looking unlikely, in the meantime I'll try to get some simpler projects done. Like this:

I had knowledge of some people involved in the action direction of a few HK films, but wasn't sure what would be the appropriate label, "Assistant Action(or MA) Director" or "Martial Arts Consultant"? From the level of their involvement and looking at similar situations on other HKMDB pages , I believe "Martial Arts Consultant" is the best credit to use. Won Jin was involved in the action design for a few of his HK films: Operation Scorpio [1992]; Women On The Run [1993]; and No Problem 2 [2002], but also on two other films that he didn't feature in but did feature Korean stunt actors, Gen-Y Cops [2000] and Born Wild [2001]. Kadet Lee Seung-hoon assisted on some action scenes for Thunderbolt [1995] and Mr. Nice Guy [1997], also on Thunderbolt, was Poon Kin-kwan, Nicky Li Chung-chi and Chan Man-ching. Chin Ka-lok was also a "Martial Arts Consultant" for Operation Scorpio and we also have stunt double credit for Derek Cheung Chi-chuen, who I discovered performed the infamous staircase fall in place of Won Jin. I didn't include Yuen Biao as a "Martial Arts Consultant" on Operation Scorpio, because even though he was the original action director, I'm not sure if any of his contributions made it into the final product.

I just got divine inspiration while writing this message All this Operation Scorpio talk gave me an idea, as an Xmas treat, I'll add upload some of my bts photos. LOL, it's also just occured to me (while writing the previous sentence), how appropriate that would be, as OS was filming during Xmas 1991





Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to all the HKMDB team and to all fellow fans!
