Director’s Statement
虎鶴雙形拳 The Tiger and Crane Double Form was said to have been composed and choreographed by the legendary Chinese folk hero and kung fu legend, 黃飛鴻 Wong Fei-Hung. However, what prompted him to do such a thing?
This film is our take on the origins of the form and the events that led to its creation. It is by no means historically accurate, but rather, our own creative interpretation of the story.
