For Chee Keong Cheung, a cinematic education came not from the local cinemas of his native Lancaster in England’s northwest, but from the neon-lit streets of Hong Kong. Films from the so-called “Heroic Bloodshed” era of Hong Kong action cinema, of which Woo was a key figure, lit a fire in Cheung. It wasn’t just action, action, action. A still from Chee Keong Cheung’s zombie-action film Redcon-1 (2018). In his youth, Cheung roped in his friends to make short films – thrillers, heist films – often using his parents’ restaurant as a location.
