Kung Fu Quotes:
I was a hyperactive kid, and it took awhile for me to find the right teacher. My master was a Shaolin kung fu teacher, but he also taught tai chi, Chinese medicine, brush painting – he was adept at all facets of Chinese culture.
Daniel Wu
When I was a kid, I loved watching kung fu movies – in San Francisco, we had ‘Kung Fu Theater’ on TV on Saturdays, and they’d air old Shaw Brothers movies with English dubbing, things like that.
Daniel Wu
Because my master was this renaissance man, I wasn’t just learning a fighting style, I was learning how kung fu permeates all aspects of life, from eating to healthy living to mental state.
Daniel Wu
He was never a kung fu guy. Now, he’s Mr. Kung Fu. Oh, man. Even Chow Yun-Fat gets typed!
Justin Lin
I have a physical background. It’s not like I’m a kung fu master, but my real training was dance school, and through that, I move to this thing called Capruera that I used in ‘Ocean’s 12.’ I can pretend that I can do a lot of things, but then, I don’t really master anything.
Vincent Cassel
I’ve never done this level of physical preparation for something. Particularly for ‘Rogue One’ where I was training every day and doing kung fu rehearsals on a daily basis. But that’s part of the reason I wanted to do it, because it was very different from what I’ve done before.
Felicity Jones
Well I grew up following most of the major titles like ‘Fantastic Four,’ ‘Spider-Man,’ ‘Avengers,’ etc. But I had also a lot of love for the smaller titles like ‘Master of Kung Fu,’ ‘Black Panther,’ ‘The Defenders,’ ‘Inhumans,’ and of course Power-Man and Iron Fist.’
Genndy Tartakovsky
I watch other wrestlers. I watch movies with Jackie Chan and Jet Li and Tony Jaa. Then there’s breakdancing and Capoeira – just anything I see that looks awesome that I think I could adapt in the ring. Just your typical Kung Fu, breakdancing, Capoeira moves.
John Morrison
In my research, I learned that the Boxers’ kung fu wasn’t all that formalized. The vast majority of them didn’t belong to some age-old martial arts tradition. They were basically poor, starving teenagers doing the best they could to figure out how to fight, relying more on their mystical beliefs than formal training.
Gene Luen Yang
I want to make a good, solid kung fu movie.
Keanu Reeves
Growing up, all of my friends would set their schedules to the showing of kung fu movies on TV.
Rza
People would come to me and say, ‘Jet, your Kung Fu is pretty good, do you want to be an action star when you grow up?’ At 17, I was given the script and I went to make the movie.
Jet Li
Kung fu and soccer are the two things that I was most interested in as a child.
Stephen Chow
To make a kung fu film is like a dream come true, because I’m a big fan of kung fu movies and I’m learning kung fu for a long time.
Stephen Chow
Many friends of mine told me that normally only guys like a kung fu movie and the girls would be turned off – they want to see a love story. But Ip Man is a family man, so the women see this and go: ‘I want my husband to be like this man. He’ll be a scholar, he’ll be fighting, he’ll care for the family.’ So we had a bigger audience.
Donnie Yen
Come to think of it, some of the most special films in my career were ‘City Of Life’ and ‘Happy New Year.’ For both these films, I stayed over a month in Dubai and just when I was thinking that I need one more film like that, that’s when ‘Kung Fu Yoga’ happened.
Sonu Sood
My uncle is a martial artist, and in the early ’80s, he made a kung fu flick with director Charlie Ahearn.
