Sammo Hung, Donnie Yen, Yuen Woo-ping, Tsui Hark any many more iconic names of Hong Kong action cinema will be featured in a New Chinese documentary titled Kung Fu Stuntmen: Never Say No!, which is headed to the U.S. in April by way of Well Go USA’s Hi-YAH! streaming service!
John Wei, the director of Kung Fu Stuntmen: Never Say No!, had this to say: “Many legendary stuntmen live hard lives and many are unknown,” Wei said. “That’s why I decided to make a documentary film in tribute to their continued efforts and never-yielding spirit.” (via Shine)
Kung Fu Stuntmen: Never Say No! is the first of its kind since Robin Shou’s 2004 doc Red Trousers: The Life of Hong Kong Stuntmen, which featured industry names such as Beatrice Chia, Keith Cooke, Hakim Alston, Craig Reid, Sammo Hung, Mike Leeder, Lau Kar-leung, Wong Chi Man, Leung Chi Ming, Monique Marie Ozimkowshi, Jude Poyer, Ng Wing Sum and Ridley Tsui.
A Hi-YAH! branded Trailer is due soon. Until then, if you want to give Hi-YAH! a go, visitors of this site can use the promo code “CITYONFIRE” for a FREE 30 Day trial!
Wow, can’t wait for this one.
Anyone know if a U.S. distributor has picked this up yet? Seems like a no-brainer for Well Go USA…

I just watched this last night and it was very good.
That’s good to hear. I’ll have to check it out soon!
