Uber Taxi and Louis Koo have teamed up to highlight the ease of using the Uber app for daily commutes. Louis Koo is starring in a campaign entitled “Skip the Kung Fu!”, which emphasises how Uber Taxi can help Hong Kong residents get around town comfortably and hassle-free.

Louis recently stoked concerns when he announced plans to retire from martial arts in a short video posted to his own social media platform. Today, the city breathed a sigh of relief as Louis revealed that the only martial arts he’s leaving behind are those required to be used during daily commute. 

Uber Taxi x Louis Koo to promote effortless commute

“Skip the Kung Fu!” is the first collaborative campaign between Louis Koo and Uber Taxi, its promotional video and print ads have already appeared on various outdoor advertising venues and online channels across Hong Kong starting tomorrow (28 September). The promotional video opens with Hong Kongers twisting, bending, turning, and using different sorts of Kung Fu (In cantonese, Kung Fu also means “effort”) to try and hail a taxi on the street. In contrast to the chaos, Louis calmly opens his Uber app, orders an Uber Taxi at the easy tap of a button, and “skips” all the struggles of flagging down a taxi.

“Our latest promotional video was inspired by Louis’ latest Kung Fu blockbuster, and we were honoured to have Louis join the project as our protagonist. Uber has been in Hong Kong for over a decade, we understand the various roadblocks Hong Kongers encounter when commuting, and the “Kung Fu” that it often requires. We hope this promotional video will resonate with the public and encourage them to use the Uber app and enjoy an effortless, painless, commute with Uber Taxi” said Estyn Chung, General Manager of Uber HK.
