Biography
Skilled with feet and fists, this man can and will, bring the action to you. Put a weapon in his hand and you better be on your game, because he doesn't take any prisoners. He's so versatile that every character he plays, immediately captures your attention. When I saw him in Monkey Kung Fu battling Hau Sau-Seng, I was amazed by his skill with the Staff. His punches and kicks, were always accurate and very deadly.
He's a seasoned actor, who has honed his craft well and the films that he's played in, are testimony to that. He got to sit on his butt in Super Ninjas, where he played the teacher of a group of doomed fighters. Ironically, this was the role, that most fans recall him from. This was a shame, because he's so much better, when he get the opportunity to display his skills. Started and finished his career at Shaw Brothers which was kind of rare, considering the number of actors and actresses who "jumped ship" to work for Golden Harvest and Independent companies.
He brought a certain style and grace to just about every movie he's played in. In The Fighting Fool, he was giving Meng Yuen-Men hell with that staff, but he was a "breathe of fresh air" -- because he was in top form and showing fans why, he's considered one of the best. In The 5 Superfighters (another signature role for him), he went around the town picking fights and correcting bad kung-fu.
He got the opportunity to use an array of skills in this film, yet as talented as he was, he never starred as the hero, in any films that I know of. He definitely had what it took to be a kung-fu star -- unfortunately those in charge, couldn't see that. His movements seemed to outclass, just about everyone that he had to battle onscreen. For the most part, it seems that he was another (extremely) talented Martial-artist/actor, who was short-changed by the studio, from seeing his star rise higher than it should have.
