Podcast On Fire 365: Once Upon A Time In China
Tsui Hark’s Once Upon a Time in China marked a turning point for the Hong Kong martial arts film, bringing Wong Fei-hung back to the screen in a form that felt both rooted in legend and thoroughly modern. Kenny B is joined by Mike Scott from the A4E podcast (Linktree) to discuss the film’s production, historical context, action choreography, themes, alternate versions, and lasting influence on Hong Kong cinema.
