Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Lau Kar-Leung came from actual martial arts lineage — his father was a student of Lam Sai-wing, who learned from the real Wong Fei-hung. This isn't Hollywood pretending.
Kara Hui won Best Actress at Hong Kong Film Awards for this — rare for an action role, and she reportedly trained daily for months despite having zero prior martial arts background.
