AKA Jason Piao, Jason Pai Piao, Baak Biu.
One of the more interesting Shaw Brothers actors. Never a great dramatic lead, but often a memorable villain, and a great comic performer when given the chance.
Shaolin Prince (1982):
Plays the Ninth Prince, Iron Fingers, who kills the king (Ai Fei) and puts a puppet (Ku Kuan-Chung) on the throne, and is subsequently killed by the king’s sons (Ti Lung and Derek Yee). A bit of a low-rent Pai Mei in appearance, really, with white hair and bushy white eyebrows. Has an iron hand including two extended fingers which can catch and break an enemy’s blade, and which give him his nickname.
Shaolin Intruders (1983):
In perhaps his best part, and certainly my own favorite, plays Qiao Yidou, a gambler and wayfarer who is drawn into the story by a bet, but sticks around to help out a friend. The friend is played by Derek Yee, who I suppose is the lead in this, but Pai Piao is the star.
