AKA Law Lik, Law Lit, Joe Lee, Wong Lap Dat.
One of the studio’s towering talents, who slipped seamlessly from being one of their biggest heroes (and their first international star) to being their greatest villain. Acrobatic, charismatic, with the ability to be both funny and frightening, consecutively or concurrently, as well as possessing a great deal of charm, there seems to have been nothing he couldn’t do. When I’m flipping through unseen Shaws looking for my next watch, seeing his name in the credits always means an instant play.
Clan of the White Lotus (1980):
Plays the White Lotus Chief, the lead villain of the story. Apparently invincible, he can become as light as a feather, floating away from his enemies’ attacks. Also able to exploit his opponents’ chi centers to make minor wounds fatal, and seems to be nearly indestructible except for his one vital point (a trope the Shaws used often).
