Back in the limelight: Joseph Kuo, director of 1970s martial arts movie gems such as 18 Bronzemen and The 7 Grandmasters
- Kuo made low-budget martial arts films in Taiwan with choreographed fight scenes that reflected the polish of those in Hong Kong cinema, but was not well known
- That’s changed, with the latest edition of New York’s Old School Kung Fu Fest dedicated to his work and Eureka Entertainment releasing a set of his films
