Biography
Though he's played in a great number of films, there are a numerous Korean productions, collection still hunt. Those that he's starred in, can leave their mark on you and have you longing for more bloodshed. This impressionable Korean (along with Nan Kung-Hsun and Chen Feng-Chen), were some of the first from his country, to gain huge (media) exposure. Their appearance in 5 Fingers Of Death, open many eyes and plenty doors. Here, he played more of an Anti-Villain -- realizing he feel in with the wrong crowd, he tried to change his ways. He wore an aweful looking wig, in The Thunderbolt Fist, but his performance was still solid.
He was most memorable for his "Head-butting" style of fighting, which surprised Fang Mien and even caught Angela Mao off guard (just once). He never played the "Happy-go-lucky" types, because that just wasn't his style (nor did he have the look for it). He looked a lot bigger in When Tae Kwon Do Strikes, but the danger stayed the same. He could be merciless (when he had to be) and that's when he was at his best. As a cold-hearted killer, he was always in his element, something that fans (like me) really enjoyed.

He was [particularly] nasty in the wicked Gambling For Head (my favorite from him), which was one of his better movies. In Manchu Boxer, he mostly had others (Samo Hung and Wilson Tong), dealing out the punishment to all challengers (literally). Here, the premise was the same as 5 Fingers Of Death, where you had one guy practicing the deadly technique of the Iron Palm. Liu Yung starred as the hero and he was the villain -- paying Japanese to knockoff all challengers, who would be competing in a kung-fu tournament.
