Kara Hui


AKA Hui Ying Hung, Claire Wai
For my money the greatest of the Shaw Brothers’ female stars. Equally adept at comedy and drama, graceful in motion, emotive, and ferocious in a fight.

Life Gamble (1979):
Plays Xiao Hong, the daughter of the Chief Constable (Ku Feng) who goes undercover at the casino to help catch the bandits. Along the way she falls for Yun Xiang (Fu Sheng), the assassin, and brings him over to the good guys’ side

Clan of the White Lotus (1980):
Plays Mei-Hsiao, wife of the heroic Wu Ah-Biao (Lee King-Chu), murdered early in the film. She trains his brother Hung Wei-Ting (Gordon Liu) to get revenge, teaching him a feminine boxing style that can combat the weightless technique of the White Lotus (Lo Lieh).
