![]() ![]() It took me a while to find the kind of friends who would be interested in joining me, and thanks to the internet becoming more widespread, and in every household, it became easier to connect. Independent teams like ‘The Stunt People’ and ‘The Young Masters’ have shown me there are people with the same ambitions out there, proving to me that it’s possible to create your own little martial arts action movies inspired by Hong Kong films. Can you tell us how this all came about, who was on your team, and what were the types of movies you made or featured in? In 2006 you founded your first action team ‘Mag Fighters’, and began making movies. ![]() KFK caught up with Andy in between his very busy schedule to talk about his dreams of becoming an action director, meeting his idol, and what the future holds for this rising star ushering in the renaissance of that Hong Kong-style martial arts entertainment that we all so dearly love…and miss, so without further ado, please welcome Andy Long! He will soon be seen opposite Scott Adkins (once again) in the highly anticipated “Accident Man 2” directed by George and Harry Kirby. An epic tale based on a 19 th Century poem “Luc Van Tien” put Andy and his stunt team on the action movie map, last year enjoying a big screen premier outing at the Fighting Spirit Film Festival. Andy also returned to his Vietnamese roots starring in the epic “Luc Van Tien: Kung Fu Warrior” under the direction of Hoang Phuc Nguyen. His career to date has seen Andy work with Jackie Chan and his stunt team, choreograph action with brothers Brian and Andy Le, and trade blows with the world’s most complete fighter aka ‘Yuri Boyka’ in “ Undisputed IV“. Andy’s action style is heavily influenced by the Hong Kong action of the 80’s the fast and acrobatic style that propelled Jackie Chan, along with Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Jet Li, and Donnie Yen to superstardom. ![]()
