Gallants is a 2010 Hong Kong action comedy directed by Derek Kwok and Clement Cheng, who co-wrote it with Frankie Tam. It is set in the present day but made in the spirit of 1970s kung fu films, and it brings back two stars of that era, Bruce Leung Siu-lung and Chen Kuan-tai.
Teddy Robin, who also co-composed the score, plays their long-sleeping master. Wong You-nam, JJ Jia, Lo Mang and Michael Chan Wai-man co-star. It premiered at the Hong Kong International Film Festival in March 2010.
A meek real estate employee is sent to a village to sort out a property dispute and ends up at a teahouse that was once a famous kung fu school. Its master, Law, has been in a coma for thirty years. When he wakes up, his memory is gone but his skills are not, and his aging students get one more chance to defend their home.
Do I need to know the old films? No, but fans of 1970s kung fu cinema will spot plenty of nods to the films its stars made back then.
Is it suitable for younger viewers? The BBFC rated it 15 for strong martial arts violence.
For Bruce Leung in his 1970s prime, try Ten Tigers of Shaolin (1978) DVD. For Chen Kuan-tai in his early Shaw Brothers days, see Heroes Two (1974) DVD.
