Dick Wei


AKA Ti Wai, Tiu Lung, Tu Ji Long.
A real-life professional fighter whose principal cinematic fame came from several appearances as the villain in Jackie Chan movies, in which he always seemed to bring out Chan's best, most notably in the classic Project A. He did less important work for Shaw Brothers, but did have a few memorable roles.

Crippled Avengers (1978):
Plays the leader of the Tien Nan Tigers, who kick-start the plot by invading the home of Du Tian-Dao (Chen Kuan-Tai), murdering his wife (Helen Poon), and cutting off the arms of his son (played as an adult by Lu Feng).
