Noted for working with Jackie Chan during his Lo Wei phase. Jackie's films actually looked better under him than with direct Lo. With him, Jackie seemed to have the freedom to express himself and martial-arts abilities (as a choreographer) in films like Snake and Crane Arts of Shaolin and Shaolin Wooden Men.

Some of his other films stood out from the pack like - 36 Crazy Fists, Dance of Death, and Imperial Sword, both starring Angela Mao. Though the majority of his later films didn't quite match up to his best work with Chan, he, like many directors of his time, found less work as bigger studios (and stars) held a strangle-hold on the business. His career path would change to fantasy-type films, though he never forgot his kung-fu audience as he worked on Young Taoism Fighter with the Yuen Clan.
