Hong Kong TVB’s reality show: KUNG FU STAR
September 21st, 2011 by Mr. C
A reality show/competition in Hong Kong to search for the next new Kung Fu movie star cropped up on the TVB Channel last month! The show’s name is roughly translated as “Kung Fu’s new star” or “Kung Fu Supernova”. I’ve only watched the first episode and it was pretty darn entertaining! Some old school judges included the great Lau Kar Yung (The Young Master,Tigress of Shaolin, Shaolin Disciples,Dragon’s Claw), Shaw Brother’s favorite lady: Kara Hui Ying Hung (Dirty Ho, My Young Auntie, Lady is the Boss), & Tony Leung Siu Hung (Actor/Stuntman/choreographer: 36 Crazy Fists,Enter the Fat Dragon,Angel,Long Arm of the Law).
The hosts of the show boasts the slick duo of MC Jin, hip hop artist from NYC, currently residing in HK and Chin Ka Lok, veteran HK actor/stunt choreographer.
There were 12 contestants on the 1st show and two would go home that night! I think there’s a total of 6 shows! Some categories of competition include martial arts, stunts, & acting! The 1st episode included performances with the double nunchucks, a spear set, a karate form, a young lady doing a broadsword routine, a pole form, & the competitors running through a glass door?!
Here’s Lau Kar Yun & Tony Leung Siu Hung giving some advice to the contestants:
