We also tried to make a local martial arts movie. Even an expert from Hong Kong, Huen Chiu Ku, choreographer of Kill Bill and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, was called to create the film’s fight scenes. Unfortunately neither the critics nor the public liked this movie. I confess I have not watched this one yet.
Besouro is a Brazilian martial arts movie that tells the life and times of Besouro Mangangá, a capoeirista of the decade of 1920, to whom heroic and legendary deeds were attributed. He was a reluctant hero, but when his master was assassinated, he must find the power to fight back and overthrown the oppression and racism.
