Fan Mei-Sheng

Big, jolly-looking but physically-capable actor, adept both at fearsome (but entertaining) villains and Little John-style comic relief. One of my favorite Shaw Brothers supporting actors.

The One-Armed Swordsman (1967):
Plays Guo Sheng, one (along with Wong Sai-Git) of the two disciples of Smiling Tiger (Tang Ti) who bully the freshly-maimed Fang Gang (Wang Yu) and sexually...harrass? Assault? Well, they are ungentlemanly towards Xiaoman (Lisa Chiao Chiao). Later they kill Sun Hao (Chang Pei-Shan) and Xi Yi-Fei (Fan Dan) and are themselves maimed by Fang Gang as they attempt to rape the captured Qi Pei-er (Violet Pan).
