Veteran Hong Kong film producer/historian Bey Logan and martial arts actor Andrew Pong have teamed up to launch The Southern Brothers, a new production company focused on developing a slate of Asian and international action films and documentaries.
Projects in the works from the newly formed company include:
- Run China. Run: A documentary chronicling the first person to run from Beijing to Hong Kong (in post-production)
- White Crane: A kung fu feature detailing Andrew Pong’s grandfather’s famous challenge match in Macau (in pre-production)
- Becoming Bruce Lee: A new documentary on the iconic martial arts legend (in pre-production)
- Mr. Vampire 2026: A reboot of the beloved franchise that skyrocketed Pong’s father, Chin Siu-ho, to fame (in pre-production)
- Blank: An upcoming Norwegian thriller being co-produced alongside Vietnamese action star Veronica Ngo (Furie, Clash)
Logan’s earlier run of hits includes Jackie Chan films like The Medallion and The Twins Effect, plus Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny with Donnie Yen and Michelle Yeoh. He also produced the Vietnamese action successes Furie and Furies.
His other credits include Attrition, Lady Bloodfight and The Blood Bond, as well as many best selling books, including Hong Kong Action Cinema, 36 Chambers of Kung Fu Cinema and Bruce Lee and I. He is also known for setting high standards for well researched, in-depth film audio commentaries featured on various physical media releases.
Andrew Pong got his start acting alongside his godfather Sammo Hung in Choy Li Fut, then went on to Hong Kong genre films like Bio Raiders and The Leakers. He later starred in the Mainland Chinese wuxia action film Deep Blood Wolf and even worked with Chuck Norris in the U.S. in Agent Recon.
We’ll keep you updated on these project as we learn more. Until then, we leave you with the Trailer for the original Mr. Vampire:, as well as Bey’s recent appearance on Stripey Rambles and Just Foolin About with Michael Biehn podcast:
Oh dear, his old attempts at movies sucked harder than a space age hoover
So the good news is that these can’t get any worse than that! Yay.
He should give up being a filmmaker. His scripts and movies all suck. His strength were the Hong Kong Legend DVD commentaries he did over 20 years ago. Apparently he was Giselle to Weinstein’s Epstein. If you have to make a movie , make one about all the girls he sent to Weinstein’s rape suite
With an imagination like that, ‘Ska’, YOU should be a scriptwriter… My creative record speaks for itself. Some movies were hits and some misses, a bunch of decent commentaries and some cool books (and more to come!). These and, of course, my children are my real legacy. All of your woke-fuelled virtue signalling, as it relates, erroneously, to me, will fade…
woke fuelled virtue signalling – lol funny how all the canceled peices of shit like you always end up on the alt-right bandwagon. You have time to argue online woth a ramdom stranger….Shouldn’t you be organising some underage girls for your bestie Weinstein. I hope for the sake of your kids your ex keeps them away from a nonce like you
You’re no random stranger, Ska. You’re someone hiding behind a fake name who thinks he knows enough about my life to pass judgement in public. What happened to me in 2017 wasn’t fair or right, but I just took a breath and went back to work, and tried to live my best life. What choice did I have? You must love social media, which allows you impunity to berate someone you’ve, luckily, never met.
