17 Oct 2023 1) The opening scenes : filming on the open seas always presents its unique set of physical and technical challenges, surely. Even by today's contemporary availability of ancillary logistical support, not to mention CGI (computer-generated imagery) to create the more fantastical scenarios, a degree of visionary ingenuity and directorial oomph is necessary to render the production values up to par. What more then back in 1957 with cinematic technology at its nascent stage still? So, kudos to the executive producers in mounting this particularly demanding shoot. 2) In any long-running movie franchise (Shek Khin's seeming interminable feud/duels with "Wong Fei Hoong" ran up to 80+ instalments from the late '50s to late '60s I believe) a drop in standards of storytelling is inevitable I suppose. Plots can become somewhat repetitive and formulaic, even given audience's less urbane entertainment expectations back in the day. But this very episode is surprisingly, honestly, quite good with a comparatively novel narrative arc. A break from the mould so to speak. How so? 3) Well, for starters, Khin's enquiring "Who is this Wong Fei Hoong, What's his background/identity" is a first deviation from the usual scripted trajectory. Normally, as seasoned viewers ought to know, Hoong' reputation would precede his person, so established was the storyline. 4) There is among RUclips's ever-growing repository of innumerable videos an interview given by Khin post-retirement when he recounted ruefully how the team of scriptwriters, under time pressure, had to rush to get each instalment out - being paid by the piece, thus resulting in suspect screenplay quality. But Khin himself may have been indirectly complicit too in creating this sense of "familiarity fatigue" too. Witness his well-rehearsed fighting moves - leaping characteristically each/every time, rolling on the ground in retreat after being counter-attacked by his nemesis Hoong - it can all become predictable and blase staple fare. Certainly nothing like subsequent kung fu icons Bruce Lee/Jackie Chan/Jet Li/Donnie Yen's refreshing iconic postures and very striking martial moves/flashy stances. Be that as it may be, an industry veteran once remarked/came to the defence of the two martial pioneers that the fight duels between them, choreographed of course were nevertheless genuine, resulting in frequent contusions, knocks and minor injuries ever so often, so that at the end of each day's shoot, they would return to their private corner to lick their wounds (figuratively), applying medicinal ointments to soothe their day's labours/nurse their bruised egos.True account. (Incidentally, my impression remains to this day that Guan Tak Heng (Hoong) and Shek Khin weren't exactly the best of amiable pals in life. At one of the annual HK film industry award nights years ago, both gentlemen, paired to present a certain category's prize, stood side by side on stage. Khin's irritated discomfort and impatience with the whole evening's showy razzmatazz was clearly apparent,when he chided Heng to "not talk so much, just announce the winner's name" (and be done with it). Quite an awkward moment. Anyone has vivid recollection of the incident?). 5) Not meaning to decry\deride what is generally acknowledged as classic tv lore here,but Heng's scripted persona of Hoong can be criticised as rigidly unchanging : his signature stiff upper lip mannerisms, ramrod body posture, high-minded Confucian ethos, a proclivity to berate his disciples' (especially Shai Gua Phorw) every transgression of social etiquette, the lot. Compare the later variant versions of Wong Fei Hoong as portrayed by Jackie Chan/Jet Li for example, the contrast in image projection is all too stark. 6) My final point here I am loath to detail but is worthy of elaboration I feel. There is a glaring lapse in the script's consistency/story authenticity : Hoong entering the prison cell just after the government official's discovery of Dharn Arn Ying's "death" (by poisoning). It was supposed to be unexpected alarming news to Hoong, yet how come his two disciples accompanying him already has the coffin in tow? Granted that it was all a plot hatched by Hoong and Ying to fake the latter's death with prior knowledge of Khin's devious poisoning act, yet would not the whole coffin-at-the-ready procession have come across as suspicious to the official? Difficult to reconcile the oversight I say. (And by the way, Khin and his henchmen force-feeding Ying orally with the poison is not depicted explicitly. Understandably so. Realistically however, Ying would have had to pretend to have swallowed the poison. all without the evil criminals' discernment). Suspend your disbelief folks, sit back and just swallow the inconsistencies I say. Thanks.
Thanks!
