Curiosità

The Young Dragons is a 1974 Hong Kong martial arts film directed by John Woo in his feature film directorial debut and his second collaboration with Jackie Chan, who acted as martial arts choreographer.

Production

Jackie Chan was hired as a stunt coordinator and fight choreographer for the film and is credited under the name Yuan Lung Chen. In the book John Woo: Interviews by Robert K. Elder, John Woo recalls, "We knew each other before I made the movie. I always liked his work. He was such a hardworking guy and always had some good ideas. At the time he liked to imitate Bruce Lee. The way he fought, his choreography was pretty much like Bruce's action.

The film was originally independently produced in 1973 under the title 過客 (literally "Passer-by", the name Fan Ming originally gives for himself, but John Woo gave the film the English title Farewell, Buddy). The government censor board deemed the film too violent, so it was shelved. Golden Harvest saw promise in the film, paid for reshoots, and released it under the name The Young Dragons, signing Woo to a three-year contract.
