袁和平(1945年8月24日生於廣州),人稱「八爺」,香港武術指導及導演,為電影史上首位武術指導袁小田之子。他出生於武術世家,自幼隨父及兄弟袁祥仁、袁信義等習武,1958年畢業於九龍窩打老道文德中學小學部,二十歲起在電影中擔任臨時演員及武師,二十五歲時在《瘋狂殺手》一片首次出任武術指導。1978年,他在吳思遠提攜下執導《蛇形刁手》與《醉拳》,兩齣功夫喜劇大受歡迎,並與成龍合作掀起熱潮。他與兄弟及一班武師合組「袁家班」,成為香港動作電影的重要班底;香港星光大道亦留有他的手印及簽名。他外號「八爺」的由來有兩種說法,一說因兄弟取笑他為人囉唆如老人家,稱他「伯爺」,後來音轉為「八爺」;另一說指他當年在圈中有八位結拜兄弟,自己排行第八。1992年,他為徐克《黃飛鴻之二男兒當自強》設計動作,獲第十二屆香港電影金像獎最佳動作設計;其後為《太極張三丰》、《精武英雄》等片任動作指導。1999年,他為荷里活電影《22世紀殺人網絡》設計動作;2000年憑《臥虎藏龍》奪第二十屆香港電影金像獎最佳動作設計及金馬獎最佳動作設計,並獲該屆金像獎專業精神獎。他其後再憑《功夫》(2005)、《霍元甲》(2007)、《一代宗師》(2014)及《葉問4:完結篇》(2020)四度獲同獎,前後六度奪得香港電影金像獎最佳動作設計;2016年獲第十屆亞洲電影大獎終身成就獎。他亦為《標殺令》等荷里活電影任動作指導,並曾為中央電視台連續劇《水滸傳》設計武打,門下培育出甄子丹等動作演員。

Yuen Woo-ping (born 24 August 1945 in Guangzhou), known as 'Eighth Uncle', is a Hong Kong action choreographer and director, the son of Yuen Siu-tien, the first martial-arts director in film history. Born into a martial arts family, he trained from childhood under his father and alongside his brothers Yuen Cheung-yan and Yuen Shun-yi, graduated from Man Tak Middle School in Kowloon in 1958, and from the age of twenty worked as an extra and stuntman before becoming a martial-arts director at twenty-five on The Mad Killer. In 1978, encouraged by Ng See-yuen, he began directing with Snake in the Eagle's Shadow and Drunken Master, two kung fu comedies that proved hugely popular and helped launch Jackie Chan. With his brothers and a team of stuntmen he formed the Yuen Clan, a mainstay of Hong Kong action cinema. His choreography for Tsui Hark's Once Upon a Time in China II (1992) won Best Action Choreography at the 12th Hong Kong Film Awards, and he went on to work on The Tai-Chi Master and Fist of Legend. In 1999 he designed the fights for The Matrix, and in 2000 won Best Action Choreography at the 20th Hong Kong Film Awards and at the Golden Horse Awards for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, also receiving that ceremony's Professional Achievement Award. Further Hong Kong Film Award wins followed for Kung Fu Hustle (2005), Fearless (2007), The Grandmaster (2014) and Ip Man 4 (2020), six in all; in 2016 he received a lifetime achievement award at the 10th Asian Film Awards. He also choreographed Hollywood productions including Kill Bill and the mainland television version of Water Margin, and among the action performers he has mentored is Donnie Yen.

影響與傳承 Impact & Legacy

繁體中文

袁和平把中國武術的招式節奏拆解成可直接拍攝的動作段落,1978年的功夫喜劇確立了成龍的路線,1999年後他為《22世紀殺人網絡》及《標殺令》設計的打鬥,令港式武指制度被荷里活正式採用,也改變了西方動作片的拍攝慣例。

English

Yuen broke Chinese martial arts down into shootable beats, and his 1978 kung fu comedies set the template for Jackie Chan. From 1999 his fight design for The Matrix and Kill Bill led Hollywood to adopt the Hong Kong action-director system, changing how Western action films were staged and shot.
