Bey Logan (born 15 November 1961) is an expert on East Asian cinema, particularly Hong Kong action cinema. He is also notable as a screenwriter, film producer and as a martial artist (trained in Hung Gar) who has had (mostly minor) roles in a number of films, including the 2003 Dante Lam film The Twins Effect and the 2014 Teddy Chen actioner 'Kung Fu Jungle'.
He has written a book – Hong Kong Action Cinema, an introduction to the subject. Logan was a founder and editor of Impact magazine, and has provided audio commentaries for over 120 East Asian films released on DVD. He is also an international representative of the Wong Fei Hung Museum in Foshan, Guangdong.
Logan has also worked as a producer on such films as The Twins Effect, Dragon Squad, Blood Bond, Beach Spike, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: Green Destiny and Lady Bloodfight.
Logan began his career as a writer and editor on martial arts magazine Combat in 1987. In 1992, he was hired to edit the action film magazine Impact published by Roy Jessop & MAI Publications and took the position of Director.[1][2] He later moved to Hong Kong, and wrote the screenplays for the films White Tiger (1996) and Ballistic Kiss (1998).[3]
Hong Kong (香港; "Fragrant Harbour"), officially Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, is an autonomous territory on the southern coast of China at the Pearl River Estuary and the South China Sea. Hong Kong is known for its skyline and deep natural harbour. It has a land area of 1104 km2 and shares its northern border with Guangdong Province of Mainland China. With around 7.2 million inhabitants of various nationalities, Hong Kong is one of the world's most densely populated metropolises.
After the First Opium War (1839–42), Hong Kong became a British colony with the perpetual cession of Hong Kong Island, followed by Kowloon Peninsula in 1860 and a 99-year lease of the New Territories from 1898. Hong Kong remained under British control for about a century until the Second World War, when Japan occupied the colony from December 1941 to August 1945. After the Surrender of Japan, the British resumed control. In the 1980s, negotiations between the United Kingdom and the China resulted in the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration, which provided for the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong on 30 June 1997. The territory became a special administrative region of China with a high degree of autonomy on 1 July 1997 under the principle of one country, two systems. Disputes over the perceived misapplication of this principle have contributed to popular protests, including the 2014 Umbrella Revolution.
Bruce Lee (Chinese: 李小龍; born Lee Jun-fan, Chinese: 李振藩; November 27, 1940 – July 20, 1973) was a Hong Kong American martial artist, action film actor, martial arts instructor, philosopher, filmmaker, and the founder of Jeet Kune Do. Lee was the son of Cantonese opera star Lee Hoi-Chuen. He is widely considered by commentators, critics, media and other martial artists to be one of the most influential martial artists of all time, and a pop culture icon of the 20th century. He is often credited with helping to change the way Asians were presented in American films.
Lee was born in Chinatown, San Francisco on November 27, 1940 to parents from Hong Kong and was raised in Kowloon with his family until his late teens. He was introduced to the film industry by his father and appeared in several films as a child actor. Lee moved to the United States at the age of 18 to receive his higher education, at the University of Washington, at Seattle and it was during this time that he began teaching martial arts. His Hong Kong and Hollywood-produced films elevated the traditional Hong Kong martial arts film to a new level of popularity and acclaim, sparking a surge of interest in Chinese martial arts in the West in the 1970s. The direction and tone of his films changed and influenced martial arts and martial arts films in the United States, Hong Kong and the rest of the world.

Donnie Yen (born 27 July 1963), also known as Yen Ji-dan (甄子丹), is a Hong Kong actor, martial artist, film director and producer, action choreographer, and multiple-time world wushu tournament champion.
Yen is credited by many for contributing to the popularization of the traditional martial arts style known as Wing Chun. He played Wing Chun grandmaster Yip Man in the 2008 film Ip Man, which was a box office success. This has led to an increase in the number of people taking up Wing Chun, leading to hundreds of new Wing Chun schools to be opened up in mainland China and other parts of Asia.Ip Chun, the eldest son of Ip Man, even mentioned that he is grateful to Yen for making his family art popular and allowing his father's legacy to be remembered.
Yen is considered to be one of Hong Kong's top action stars; director Peter Chan mentioned that he "is the 'it' action person right now" and "has built himself into a bona fide leading man, who happens to be an action star." Yen is widely credited for bringing mixed martial arts (MMA) into the mainstream of Chinese culture, by choreographing MMA in many of his recent films. Yen has displayed notable skills in a wide variety of martial arts, being well-versed in boxing, kickboxing, Jeet Kune Do, Hapkido, taekwondo, karate, Muay Thai, wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Wing Chun, and Wushu. Seen as one of the most popular film stars in Asia in recent years, Yen was one of the highest paid actors in Asia in 2009. Yen has earned 220 million HKD (28.4 million USD) from four films and six advertisements in 2013.
These are documentaries I shot as host for a now defunct UK TV channel, CNX. We shot introductions for a whole season of Hong Kong action titles. They also commissioned this 'location guide' to accompany a screening of 'Enter the Dragon'. This is of special historical significance now, given that the Grand Hyatt is gone and the Stubbs Road house got trashed by some Mainland developer due to a land scam. I can't believe I could remember all this %$^& without a tele prompter. CNX also wanted a general guide to 'Bruce Lee's Hong Kong'. Looking back, I realise that Li Tak Street isn't far from where my office/kwoon is now. The Tung Ying Building has also been demolished; I remember the security guards trying to stop us shooting, even though we were on the sidewalk outside! This also has my t...

It felt like I got invited to talk to CNN every year on Bruce's anniversaries. I remember the good folks at Media Asia being shocked (shocked!) to think that they had to lend clips to CNN to celebrate the legacy of Bruce Lee. It was a constant battle to use the unique materials we had to spread the good word. Anyway, we won this one! Enjoy, and please check out our genuine Bruce Lee memorabilia at www.reeleast.com. - Bey

We found this footage in the Reel East archive. Its footage shot for a 1976 promotional film announcing that Golden Harvest intended to complete Bruce Lee's 'Game of Death'. It was for film buyers and distributors worldwide, but I haven't yet met anyone who remembers seeing it! Anyway, an unusual piece of Bruce Lee-related material.

This was an interview I conducted with my good friend Gary Daniels for a TV pilot for a show called 'Ballistic'. Through some weird time warp, he looks exactly the same today and I became a grumpy old man! Its interesting to conjecture what life would have been life if 'Ballistic' took off, which it almost did. I'd probably never have left England for Hong Kong! The setting for this sit down was the Docklands home of Paul Cohen, who shot the piece. - Bey PS We have memorabilia from Gary's film with Jackie Chan, 'City Hunter', at www.reeleast.com.

A rough cut of a B&E; production presented by Bey Logan and Rachel Poon following them behind the scenes of Hong Kong action cinema.
Bey Logan has his own theory on how Bruce Lee died. I don't agree with this theory at all. But it just goes to show how many theories there are out there when it comes to Bruce Lee's death. Yes, Bruce DID use marijuana for pain management. But it didn't kill him.
Here is a feature on the state of Hong Kong action cinema as it was back in 1999. My recollection is that they shot my interview it in the offices of Emperor Group and then dropped in the background later! Enjoy, and please note that memorabilia from some of the films described can be acquired from www.reeleast.com. - Bey

This was a set report shot on the set of 'Dragon Squad' by a US network. The reason there's so much of me and none of the cast is that their all-powerful managers declined to let their precious artistes be interviewed or seen on camera. The wimps! Unfortunately, this day we didn't have Sammo or Simon Yam or Michael Biehn or Maggie Q, none of the REAL actors! My man Lawrence Chou is visible at the end of the clip. Brings back some memories, that was a tough shoot, but fun! - Bey
