Gordon Liu



AKA Liu Chia-Hui, Lau Kar-Fai.
My own favorite of the Shaw Brothers’ great stars, an elegant martial artist and charismatic leading man who anchored many of the studio’s finest films and was a prime collaborator with his “brother,” the great director and choreographer Liu Chia-Liang.

Clan of the White Lotus (1980):
Plays Hung Wei-Ting, the hero, who must learn both feminine boxing (“embroidery fist”?!?) and acupuncture to defeat the apparently invincible White Lotus Chief (Lo Lieh).
