Martial arts legend Sammo Hung says he can’t teach grandsons kungfu as he can’t control them

Twilight Of The Warriors: Walled In.Suddenly, a hasty-looking young assistant trots into the room, saying:"Dai Gor Dai is coming, please make way for him." For the uninitiated, 'Dai Gor Dai' means ‘Big Big Brother’ in Cantonese.

We get it though. Sammo's no-nonsense vibes were so strong, we felt like we had to remain silent while he was getting mic-ed up. No one let out a peep lest it disturbs Big Brother.Sammo first asks if the interview would be conducted in Cantonese or Mandarin. When we reply that he can speak in whichever language he prefers, he widens his eyes and chuckles:"What about vulgarities?"

"If I accidentally hurt them, serve them right! If such an old person like me could injure you, that shows how lousy you are," he laughs, before saying that they"know how to hold back punches when necessary.""I've known him for a really long time and I know his kungfu foundation is great. But I've never had the chance to direct him in a film.

He remembers to praise the director Soi Cheang and his crew for doing a great job in recreating the set. "What do my students do after they graduate? Sell char siew baos? Then what's the point of me teaching them those things I spent my entire life learning? It honestly aches my heart," he laments."In the past many young boys would practise kungfu every day and say they want to be martial artists when they grow up. But now they look and wonder: 'What's the point of learning?'. They don't see any future in it," he sighs.
