Possibly the most under-used and underrated of the Shaw’s fighters. Never a star, rarely even got important supporting roles, but his speed and accuracy made every fight he was in special.
The Flag Of Iron (1980):
Plays the Fortune-teller, second of the ten most-feared assassins that come after Luo Xin (Philip Kwok) while he’s in exile. The two have perhaps the best short fight in Shaw Brothers history.
The Sword Stained With Royal Blood (1981):
Plays one of the Wen brothers in the flashbacks, possibly the head of the family then. But he is already dead by the time the main action of this story takes place, and we don’t get much from his character.
Shaolin Prince (1982):
Plays Gu Long, who rescues the younger prince from the evil Iron Fingers (Pai Piao) and delivers him safely to the Prime Minister (Ku Feng). He helps raise the boy (played as an adult by Derek Yee) and trains him in kung fu, in hopes he’ll someday be strong enough to avenge his parents.
Shaolin Intruders (1983):
Plays Chief Long, head of the Heilong (Black Dragon) Clan, one of the Four Big Families whose leaders are being murdered by unknown assailants. The bloodthirstiest of them, he is the last to die, and is the one who goes to Shaolin with our heroes (Derek Yee, Pai Piao, and Liu Yu-Po) on the quest to find out who is really responsible for the deaths.
