Member J.J. Hayden Posted November 29, 2020 Member Share Posted November 29, 2020 For anyone not aware of Won Jin's talents, here is a really good compilation from YT. I may do one myself someday, but this one is very good. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member J.J. Hayden Posted November 30, 2020 Member Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) Possibly Won Jin's first acting role in 1980's Hitman In The Hand Of Buddha. He plays one of the pickpocket kids even though he's about 18 at the time, lol. Edited November 30, 2020 by Dredderick_Tatum 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member NoKUNGFUforYU Posted December 1, 2020 Member Share Posted December 1, 2020 The problem with these late 80's movies are they overuse blue filters and gauze to create a Spielberg look that was so big at that time, so even when the movies are restored they look soft. I've seen these movies at the theater expecting them to look clear and sharp, but even with 35mm reels some just looked fuzzy, a good example is a great flick like Tiger Cage 2, even on a big single screen it had that fuzzy look. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make a good case. It does have a style that I find quite nostalgic (though I grew up in 90s, everything I watched was 80s) but makes it a bit ticky to work with today. Great pic btw, It's stylish and shows of Won Jin's terrific flexibility. Cheers 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member J.J. Hayden Posted December 1, 2020 Member Share Posted December 1, 2020 Won Jin playing a bizzare pixie goblin thing, in Saviour Of The Soul II, but everything in that film is weird and mental, lol. I think he said David Lai wanted him to do it as a sort of screen test, to see if he could work well with Hong Kong style film-making. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member J.J. Hayden Posted December 1, 2020 Member Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) Won Jin as one of the Kung Fu waiters in 1982's Dreadnaught Rivals, he gets to throw a few good kicks here and there. I am pretty sure he plays another character in a fight scene but has a Fu-Manchu tash. Edited December 2, 2020 by Dredderick_Tatum 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member J.J. Hayden Posted December 1, 2020 Member Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) Won Jin playing one of Seub Deuk's buddies/employees (wooing the ladies with his charms) in 1983's Duel Of Ultimate Weapons. He gets to do some comedic fighting and some acrobatics here. Edited October 30, 2021 by Dredderick_Tatum 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 Won Jin in 1991's To Catch A Thief. For some reason both his scenes are cut form many prints. I had to track it down to an obscure Korean blog page with a Korean print of the movie, can't really figure out why it was cut, it's the best thing in the movie. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member J.J. Hayden Posted December 6, 2020 Member Share Posted December 6, 2020 Won Jin playing Lee, the waiter assassin in 2000's China Strike Force. He had been looking forward to working with fellow super kicker Ken Lo but the film didn't really make the most use of his talents, along with most of the cast for that matter. He gets to throw a few nice kicks but his action scene is too short and it doesn't help that they keep cutting away for long periods. But the worst thing is his exit from the movie, he just gets shot by his boss, Coolio. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member J.J. Hayden Posted December 6, 2020 Member Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) Won Jin playing the martial arts hitman Invincible in 2002's No Problem 2. This is one of his better HK movies courtesy of his friend and The Scorpion King co-star Chin Kar-lok. He gets to fight fellow super kicker Yuen Biao, it's a decent fight but I just imagine what we could've had back in the early 90s. Edited December 1, 2022 by J.J.
