A lost kung fu epic from 1938 that nobody can watch. Obsessed yet?
Part one of a two part feature serial following the folk hero Fong Sai-yuk. Both parts are now considered lost films.
Acting
Sun-Ma Sze-Tsang's Fong Sai-yuk defined the role for generations.
Production
Two-part serial ambition in 1938 China—absolutely unhinged.
Director
Hung Chung-Ho
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Fong Sai-yuk is a Cantonese folk hero whose real-life exploits (and many fictional ones) made him China's Robin Hood with better kicks. This serial helped cement his pop-culture dominance.
Both parts were presumed destroyed during wartime or simply decomposed—standard fate for pre-1950s Chinese cinema. The sequel's title, 'Fong Sai-Yuk's Final Battle,' now reads like dark irony.
