Hello Kung Fu World !!

Hello this is my new blog about my fascination and love for Hong Kong Legends DVD's !!

Hong Kong Legends or HKL by beloved fans, were THE premier company making the best in Hong Kong Cinema to our fans in the UK and the world over. 

 

Giving all the Old Skool classics from yesteryear a good brush up and released on to brand spanking new digital quality DVD optical discs which are now on the wane but were the best way to watch all your old favourites as well as new movies.

Sadly for us martial arts fans Hong Kong Legends went bust a few years ago but went through several rebrandings and different iterations of classics movies which most of us fans just lapped up even if we had the same movie already from a few years before.

A few titles got the new High Definition treatment onto BluRay disc but again worryingly and to the dismay of the fans only the newer titles under the Cine-Asia brand which rose from HKL's ashes got the privilege.

In the USA HKL was rebranded and sold as Dragon Dynasty which as few titles got the BluRay releases but again the company went under a few years later even with the might and money of the Weinstein Company couldnt help our favourite films from being shelved as the US market for Martial Arts movies like the one in the UK died a premature death.

But not to worry we still have the great memories so I'll be exploring the timeless cult hits from Bruce Lee to the Wacky comedies from Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, not forgetting the likes of Michelle Yeoh, Jet Li, Cynthia Khan, Donnie Yen and Yuen Biao among many more.

.....Oh yeah not forgetting our favourite Audio Commentator/Brainiac/Genius and Hong Kong Cinema Expert Bey Logan who made the DVD's so much much more with all the wealth of information in his head.

See you soon guys and gals :)
