A broken rib on set. A fall from a four-story scaffold. The camera keeps rolling. This 2021 documentary-action film chronicles the unsung heroes of Hong Kong cinema: the stuntmen. From the golden age of kung fu to modern blockbusters, it’s a raw, bone-crunching testament to the men who risked everything to create cinematic magic, with no safety nets and no CGI. Their pain is the industry’s legacy.
