Kung Fu Flid - New Review

Cult writer MJ Simpson’s latest review takes a look at British Action/gangster film KUNG FU FLID, on which I was credited as one of the producing team.

“I stood next to Mat Fraser at a bar once. I’m pretty sure it was him. He’s quite distinctive, with the little arms and everything. There are of course other people in the world who were born with similar Thalidomide-induced disabilities but he’s the only one I know who acts, and this was the bar at Nottingham Playhouse. It was the launch event for something or other. I was working for the Regional Arts Board at the time and we had maybe put some money in. There was free wine so, naturally, I went along. I’m fairly positive that must have been Mat Fraser.

There are actors in wheelchairs, one-legged and one-armed actors, blind actors, deaf actors but as far as I know there’s only one thalidomide actor. His most prominent role was probably in the TV series Metrosexuality but he was already known in some circles for his fringe work including his provocative one-man show Seal Boy. He has also cropped up in things like Iron Maiden-directed Crowley not-biopic Chemical Wedding. And then there’s Kung Fu Flid.”

Far East Films Interview : Kung fu Flid

FarEastFilms.com has just published the latest interview by Modern Life? Producer & writer Phil Hobden. This time it's a chat with the team behind the rather unique British gangster action film KUNG FU FLID.

"Making an Independent film is often about standing out from the crowd. The best Indie films, films like 'Pi', 'Clerks', 'Cube' or 'El Mariachi' had that little something that no one else did. A little something that would allow them the chance to stand out from the much higher budgeted, much better promoted competition. With a comedy or even a horror that can be hard, but with an action film? Well that can be almost impossible...

Think about it, how do you get people to come and watch your film over , say, the next 'Transformers' or Will Smith blockbuster? When they are blowing up cities and planets, how can you make a modestly budget film stand out? Enter stage left, 'Kung Fu Flid', a film whose tag line goes - "They shot his wife, they kidnapped his daughter. They messed with the wrong Flid.” Standing out from the crowd indeed!"

“British-born Jude Poyer has been working as an actor and stuntman for over a decade. For the majority of that time, he was based in Hong Kong and has worked alongside action film stars such as Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Sammo Hung and Jean Claude Van Damme, as well as respected directors including Tsui Hark, Andrew Lau and Tarsem Singh. Last year, Jude returned home to the UK to work on the independent UK action feature ‘Ten Dead Men’.
