Kung Fu Gweilos By Douglas Young
Two westerners dressed in Chinese outfits taunting the viewer for a fight. Movies have made Hong Kong’s triads well known, they are normally depicted as local Chinese gangs unlike what is seen here. On the other end of the social scale are the westerners. Here the roles are reversed.
Kung Fu Gweilos is currently on display at GOD Hollywood Road.
