Cheng Lui

Square, solid early Shaw Brothers star who appeared in many of their best films in the 60s. He reminds me of a Western actor, but I haven’t been able to figure out which one.

The One-Armed Swordsman (1967):
Plays Deng Chong, apparently the toughest and most-respected of the former students of Qi Rufeng (Tien Feng). Knowing that someone is following him and Lu Zhen (Chieh Yuen) on the way to their master’s birthday, intentionally slows down to let them catch him at the inn, in hopes of learning their identities and tactics. Is the only person besides Qi and Fang Gang (Wang Yu) to put up a fight against the villains, but is ultimately killed when Long-Armed Devil (Yeung Chi-Hing) decides to step in and help his followers (Liu Chia-Liang and Tong Gaai).
