Lo Meng


AKA Turbo Law (!?!?!), Johnson Law, Ramone Law, Law Mong, Lo Mang.
Member of the Venom Mob. Big, muscular fella who typically played the tough guy in the Venom’s films. The only Venom who was a native of Hong Kong. Notably, was always costumed in outfits that showed off his sculpted physique, typically sleeveless vests without shirts, and sometimes just harnesses for his weapons, to reveal as much torso as possible.

Crippled Avengers (1978):
Plays Wei Jia-Jie, the blacksmith who has his powers of speech and hearing taken away from him by Du Tian-Dao (Chen Kuan-Tai), and subsequently loses his business when Wan (Johnny Wang) warns the townspeople that anyone who trades with Wei will suffer Du’s wrath.


Not yet crippled, not yet an avenger,
but already pissed off.

Life Gamble (1979):
Plays Mo Jun-Feng, the knife-thrower whose visit to the blacksmith Qiu Zi-Yu (Philip Kwok) opens the film. His knives get stolen, broken, and replaced throughout the film, he gets seduced by Xiao Chiang (Lin Chen-Chi), avenges her death, and then dies in a duel with the film’s other knife-thrower, Yun Shiang (Fu Sheng).
