Member GOLDEN DRAGON YIN-YANG Posted August 1, 2012 Member Share Posted August 1, 2012 Carter Wong in his very productive film career played at first heroes then he went to the bad side of the force. I like my Carter Wong served well done and bad to the bone? He is to me ONE of a handful of the best villains in kung fu movies. Mainly because he IS a martial arts master whose intensity is second to none. Your choice please. GD Y-Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Drunken Monk Posted August 1, 2012 Member Share Posted August 1, 2012 I'm probably going to upset a lot of people by saying that, along with John Liu, Carter Wong is one of my most disliked martial arts stars. I find him to be wooden and blocky (perhaps this is down to choreography?) and instantly forgettable. With that said, there is one film in which I really enjoy his performance and that's "Born Invincible." In fact, I love him in that film. So, I suppose you could say I prefer him as a villain.

Member The Dragon Posted August 1, 2012 Member Share Posted August 1, 2012 As a hero, he usually got beaten up or killed, or rescued by another fighter, Angela Mao, Ho Chung Tao, or Shaw Stars... Wait! I think he was just killed again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShaOW!linDude Posted August 6, 2012 Member Share Posted August 6, 2012 I have to agree with DM. Whenever I consider a film for purchase, if Carter Wong is in it in any sort of lead role, I typically avoid it (though there have been exceptions).

Member The Dragon Posted August 6, 2012 Member Share Posted August 6, 2012 Ever since I learned he was to be in GAME OF DEATH, I wondered how his Karate was going to look under Lee's direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member derwood Posted August 7, 2012 Member Share Posted August 7, 2012 EVIL most likely my brain typecast him as a child when my first encounter with him was facing off against the great Kurt Russell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Kwok Choi Posted September 18, 2012 Member Share Posted September 18, 2012 Carter Wong became a household name where I grew up with his role in The 18 Bronzemen (this movie was huge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) his earlier supporting roles before this major one gave him average recognition but nothing special) He played a similar role in The Blazing Temple which was also appreciated.Then he did those David Lin collaborations making him more popular. He stole the show in Born Invincible, The Legendary Strike etc etc but he was actually preferred as a hero. I'm personally torn between his good and bad roles because both for me in many instances are quite entertaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member WhiteTiger1 Posted September 18, 2012 Member Share Posted September 18, 2012 Just has the look of a Bad Guy...(The Eyes) The Legendary Strike comes to mind, just has the evil guy look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Dragon Posted September 19, 2012 Member Share Posted September 19, 2012 It may sound strange, however, I liked the roles he played in both THE TOURNAMENT and THE OPIUM TRAIL co-starring Angela Mao, and THE SKYHAWK, with Kwan Tak Hing. He was a decent lead in these films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DarthKato Posted September 19, 2012 Member Share Posted September 19, 2012 Good Guy: I have only seen a few of his films, but I thought he did well as the hero. I could see him being good in vilian roles though. I guess I really need to see more of his films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted September 19, 2012 Member Share Posted September 19, 2012 I liked him in the early GH flicks, and pretty much in NOTHING else..... good or bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted October 23, 2012 Member Share Posted October 23, 2012 I can't decide. He does great acting in both roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
