Member DiP Posted July 31, 2012 Member Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) This guy is seriously underrated and deserves bigger roles. His martial arts prowess really stood out in films like OUATIC 2 as well as 3 and OUATICAA, Heroes Among Heroes, The Blade, Fist Of Fury TV series (vs Donnie Yen), Double Team (vs Van Damme), Simon Sez (vs Dennis Rodman), Shaolin (vs Xing Yu) and last but not least his best performance in years in The Woman Knight Of Mirror Lake. Any suggestions to other productions he acted in that are worth hunting down? Edited July 28, 2020 by DiP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted July 31, 2012 Member Share Posted July 31, 2012 Who's Rodney Dennis? But seriously, yeah he's good.... Think he prefers to be behind the scenes though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted July 31, 2012 Moderator Share Posted July 31, 2012 Think he prefers to be behind the scenes though. True, a shame his directorial debut 'Coweb' was deemed so bad to not even have a DVD release, I think everyone had pretty high expectations for that one. http://www.kungfucinema.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7586 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member ShaOW!linDude Posted August 1, 2012 Member Share Posted August 1, 2012 I skimmed through OAB's link to the Coweb thread but I found no specific reference to it not getting a dvd release. I guess I glommed over it. I thought the trailer looked pretty good but when I had the bucks, I never could find it or recall if it was released or not. Personally, I still want to see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted August 1, 2012 Member Share Posted August 1, 2012 Because DIP wrote Rodney Dennis instead of Dennis Rodman, and the child that I am, I made fun of that.... Obviously not knowing it was your real name.... What a weird coinkidink... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted August 1, 2012 Author Member Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) I guess adding rdenn on facebook and seeing his dope clips must've had an affection on my mindset. But just to think of it, rdenn's real name does almost resemble Rodman's if you reverse it. Edited February 8, 2022 by DiP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member rdenn Posted August 1, 2012 Member Share Posted August 1, 2012 make sense now , also clubfoot was in a tv movie called tough guy which is not on hkmdb V1VsqsM16PE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member makone Posted August 1, 2012 Member Share Posted August 1, 2012 That was great, I always liked clubfoot he really deserved a movie all of his own. Didn`t he do most of the fighting in OUATIC part 1 because jet li was injured? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member daisho2004 Posted August 1, 2012 Member Share Posted August 1, 2012 I agree he definitely should have some bigger roles in some updated HK movies! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member David Rees Posted August 2, 2012 Member Share Posted August 2, 2012 I have always known him by the name of Hung Yan Yan, Cantonese as opposed to Mandarin i guess. Yes he is a great martial artist, loved him beating up the cowboys in Once Upon A Time in China and America. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DiP Posted July 28, 2020 Author Member Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) These are pretty much the movies I know that utilizes his skills but I'm sure there's more I'm missing out. Edited July 28, 2020 by DiP 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member SpartainX Posted July 29, 2020 Member Share Posted July 29, 2020 I always thought he was criminally underrated. I just prefer calling Hung Yan Yan. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member J.J. Hayden Posted December 5, 2020 Member Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) I just use Cantonese names in general, switching back and forth can be confusing. Even though some of these stars are mainlanders, most are from HK and most the films are from HK so I choose Cantonese. If I'm sure they're mainlanders or from Taiwan, I try to use Mandarin. Xiong Xin-xin is an awesome talent, shame he's never became a superstar like Jet. Edited December 30, 2022 by J.J. Hayden 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlbertV Posted June 23, 2021 Member Share Posted June 23, 2021 I enjoyed his choreography in The Musketeer. He also doubled for lead villain Tim Roth while Tao Qian was Justin Chambers' double 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
