Inspired by classic kung fu flicks from the 1980s and 1990s, Hong Kong cult illustrator Rex Koo pays tribute to the heroes from his childhood in I KNOW KUNG FU an artbook that celebrates the much-loved shows and stars that have made Chinese martial arts into the global pop-culture phenomenon that it is today.
Drawing from four popular kung fu movies Once Upon a Time in China III, Shaolin Soccer, Kung Fu Hustle, and The Grandmaster Koo brings to life the legendary tales and titbits behind fan-favourite fighting techniques such as the Golden Shield Iron Vest, Magic Power of Toad, and Tai Chi Fist in his distinct, nuanced style.
