Yuen Biao's latest Film - With Eric Tsang...
Posted: 15 Nov 2004, 00:05
Formally known as FU YU JI/Father and Son.
Directed by Lai Kai Ming and starring Yuen Biao, Eric Tsang, Gloria Yip, Jackie Lui, Boxer's Story is about a legendary boxing champion Yuen Biao who takes to gambling and drinking ever since his wife Gloria Yip deserted him and his son when his head was badly hit and was forced to quit the sport. At the same time, he finds solace through his son who hopes to see him becoming the boxing legend again. Eventually, his life takes another turn when he runs into his former wife, who wants to fight for the custody of their son. So, he returns to the boxing ring, staking his life against all odds to prove his mettle to his son and wife and to show them what a real hero is. This telemovie marks the return of Yuen Biao, who had become fatter after leading relaxed life in Canada. He worked out secretly in preparation for the movie, went on diet and played football. Boxer's Story opens in China and Hong Kong on November 12th (which was my b-day, pretty cool coincidence)
