have also been informed from an inside source that during the filming
of "Red Trousers" that Robin himself was seriously injured and a
fellow stuntman died during the making of this film. In the end they
decided to leave the footage in to show what the real dangers of being
a stuntman are all about. Wow…!
Here's all the info. screening dates and locations. See you there!!!
Robin Shou makes his return to the big screen with his directorial
debut...
Red Trousers: The Life of the Hong Kong Stuntmen
An important aspect of any film is the heroic stuntmen who do the
numerous and dangerous stunts that give it it's big boosts in
excitement. Some of the world's most renown stuntmen are of Chinese
heritage. To better understand what occurs in the Chinese stuntman's
life, the 93 minute film called "Red Trousers" was created. Named
after the people who attend the Beijing Opera school, "Red Trousers"
is a documentary which explores the inner world of Chinese stuntmen.
Directed by Robin Shou, the documentary focuses on stuntmen who are
working on the set of a movie called "Lost Time." The purpose of the
film was to literally show what stuntmen go through to accomplish a
successful stunt.
"Red Trousers" focuses on a stuntman's reality: the stunts are real,
the blood shown is real and even the sound effects of the guy falling
from a bridge onto a truck then onto another truck then falling to the
ground is real. The cuts, the bruises, the bloopers, the
determination, the swearing and the pain are all real. No editing, no
censoring.
RED TROUSERS Synopsis:
In this dazzling combination of documentary and short film hosted by
(and starring) ROBIN SHOU, star of MORTAL KOMBAT, the death-defying
feats performed by the world's greatest stuntmen are profiled through
interviews and clips that showcase their work. Inter-cutting with the
documentary footage is the short film LOST TIME, a futuristic martial
arts adventure in the style of Alex Proyas' DARK CITY, where one can
appreciate the stuntmen's extraordinary achievement in their final
cinematic form.
LOST TIME Synopsis:
Evan, a member of the once proud and feared group of assassins known
as Forest Devils, must take on his toughest assignment yet--kill his
fellow assassins before he himself is assassinated. Together with his
partner and lover Silver, they set out on a quest to annihilate the
true evil.
