Biography

Though, he's kind of stiff as an actor, he does have some pretty good fighting skills. I've never seen him in one of those "Edge-of-your-seat" films, where he was the star, but he's entertaining just the same. A real scrapper, who doesn't back down from a good fight, (any fight), he's just as comfortable taking on a gang of men, as easily as he would just one. He has some very good Spin-kicks and the only person I've seen to top that was Cassanova Wong, with about (14) kicks. ​

He's also one of a few people that I'd ever seen to use (2) pair of Nunchukus simultaneously, with the other person being the late Bruce Lee. I saw him in the 70's movie, Karado - The Hong Kong Cat, (where he Pole-vaulted from the shore to a boat at sea to continue his battle) with Yang Sze, a frequent nemesis, as they done a number of films together. Films like The Big Risk and Kung Fu's Hero have been pretty good vehicles for him, while Manhunt, The Dragon Lives Again, and Last Challenge Of The Dragon were merely a waste of his time and talents.

He has made a number of films with Chan Wai-Man as well, showing both men's talents and diversity for roles that called for a mixture of acting and fighting skills. The Handcuff, Bruce Li, In New Guinea, and The Young Dragon were major (and minor) hits for both of them in the mid 70's. He turned in a much better performance in the film 10 Magnificent Killers. Here he played a Killer, who really shouldn't have been killing people at all, only to find this out too late. This was one of my favorite roles from him, where he got a chance to show his "Comedic side" - because he always seemed "too" serious in the roles he played.

For the record, he was not the guy who played Chan Wai-Man's little brother in the film, The Chinese Mack. His career was already in full swing and if he did look like that, it was long before he got into movies. Like many, he's had an "Up-and-down" career in films, but for the most part, he has had some satisfying roles and done some extremely good work. He came a long way from being an Extra, in a number of Shaw Brothers films (The Casino and Trilogy Of Swordsmanship), to starring in numerous films of his own. That's a feat, that not even many extras (no matter what studio they worked for), can claim.
