Biography
Whether he's playing a teacher or a thug, he's always did a great job. When you're looking for a film with a real kung-fu feel to it, just about anything he's done will do. His choreography is just as dazzling as the performances he's given. In the film The Leg Fighters, he was excellent as the older teacher of the naughty Hsia Kuang-Li. His fight scene with the very capable Peng Kang, was an awesome display of ground-fighting, and one of the films' highlights. He puts on an incredible display of acrobatics at the beginning of the film, another feat that he’s known for (watch for the back flip, landing on one leg, twisting out, to land on his back sequence).
In the classic, Monkey Kung Fu, he teaches Chen Mu-Chuan the finer points of Monkey-boxing. His adaptability is one of his better traits, as he's fought some of the screen's best, and always looking sharp in the process. His techniques just seemed get better with each movie. In the obscure hit 4 Hands Of Death, he plays a Crane-fighter, with deadly precision. Then, there are films, where he never really gets the chance to show his skills, like Secret Of The Shaolin Poles (getting killed before the credits roll). He deserved much better roles, as he's truly a gifted actor.
His role in Shaolin VS Lama (1983) as a Grandmaster o Shaolin, gave him ample opportunity to display an array of skill. He played a Shaolin monk who enjoyed eating Meat & Wine - (2) things that went against Shaolin's rules, as monks lived a vegetarian lifestyle. He put Alexander Lo through his paces in order to learn kung-fu from him in a dazzling display of acrobatic techniques.
